Susan,
You make a very valid point. But, please before you judge, have you read the diary of Mason Remey?
It is interesting that each Guardian has needed some time to contemplate the job before him. Shoghi Effendi took three years off and left the Greatest Holy Leaf to manage things while he spiritually prepared for the job. When reading Mason’s diary it is evident that he did not realize he was Guardian but he did realize there had to be a Guardian. Mason was certainly up to the job spiritually and when reading his diary it is evident that he was a very humble, faithful man. He was not as the Heterodox portray him at all selfish or self seeking. If anyone would like a copy, I believe there are copies in the library of congress and I also would gladly send a photocopy to anyone wanting one. Contact me at JKFranco@aol.com Janice
