Familiarity with a separated important group in Bahaism
After the demise of Shoughi Effendi as the first Guardian of bahaism , the bahais had no successor of Shoughi then Mr. Charles Mason Remey who was one of the most important figure of the hands of the Cause claimed that he was the second Guardian .
After that the bahais splited into two groups :
1) Those who affiliated to the UHJ in Haifa ( Israel ) .
2) The followers of Mason Remey who named themselves as Orthodox Bahai faith ( OBF ) .
The third Guardian , Joel B Marangella

Who are OBF ?
Please note that the Orthodox Bahai faith (OBF) has no affiliation with the bahai faith headquartered in Wilmette , Illinois or Haifa, Israel . The OBF believes the head of the faith is the living Guardian of the Cause , while the other group believes their sans-Guardian so-called Universal House of Justice is the head of the Faith and that there were no other Guardians after Shoughi Effendi.
The OBF believes that Shoughi Effendi was the first Guardian, but that he appointed Charles Mason Remey as the second Guardian , who later appointed Joel B. Marangella , the current third Guardian of the Cause .
