That is the question that ex-members of a UBF chapter in California have asked.<\/h2>\n<p>On a meeting for bible study with ex-members one of the sisters brought up the question about the purpose of the group. We as a group had a discussion and came to the conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusion being that our purpose is to be a body of Christ that reveals God clearly and be a safe haven to both ex-members and current members whom have also witness &amp; experienced the abuse and sometimes dehumanization from UBF pastors, seniors, and junior members. Our purpose should not be about just merely exposing UBF problems or be a group of haters. If we do so as the sister pointed out we create more problems and end up effecting and harming everyone especially God.<\/p>\n<p>What she said got me thinking about how for a time I become a perpetrator like the the UBF leaders. This got me convicted of my sins and realizing that it is time to turn a new leaf by having a new beginning.<\/p>\n<p>So me and some of the ex-members created a blog that shows techniques and methods to resist UBF&#8217;s mind control and possibly prevent and\/or resist Stockholm Syndrome. It is called UBF: Ur Being Flat. The reason for this title is because musically you don&#8217;t end on a high note in UBF but the melody is always flat with the constant redundancy.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the link to the blog:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ubfisacult.blogspot.com\/\">https:\/\/ubfisacult.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also here is my email if anyone wants to get in contact with me personally: eddieisvercetti@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the focus?
