Abstract	Discussion of the "Bahá'ís under the provisions of the covenant", a covenant-breaker group led by Leland Jensen. The authors investigate the effects of cognitive dissonance caused by failed predictions. The effect on the leaders was found to be different than that on the followers. The leaders maintained faith in the failed prophecies, but the followers did not.
