It is illegal to charge and convict a doctor on a lewd and lascivious act by conducting an examination or giving treatment to a patient in a professional office. Anything a doctor does in a practice could be construed as lewd and lascivious. We were knighted as Knights of Baha'u'llah (Glory of God) in 1953 by the first guardian of the Baha'i World Faith, Shoghi Effendi and are the only two Knights in the world under the second guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Mason Remey. When my husband found himself placed behind the stone wall with seven towers and in view of what our guardian has written regarding satan for this day, he then realized that he was fulfilling some of the prophecies of the bible for the coming of the modern Joshua. As Knights we will be aided by His grace on high, and strengthened by faith, aided by the power of understanding and reinforced by the legions of the Covenant until God's Kingdom which is now here in Embryonic form, be born into the world.
