Well because there was a time when I worked with Sarah Barry to remove all negative comments about ubf (back when I was “in”).

Apparently some ubfer from a Toronto IP address is not mentally strong… I wonder why someone from Toronto would be so concerned about the UBF Wikipedia article this week? (sorry for the inside joke…)

Seems that ubfers can’t stand this one sentence in the UBF Wikipedia article: “some outside observers and former members describe the group as cult-like and/or “abusive.”

ubfers keep vandalizing the Wikipedia entry for UBF and blanking out that sentence. No matter though, the Wikipedians won’t allow such vandalism for long.

it has started & will advance without hindrance, for the Lord has deemed it’s time; ALL religious legalism/elitism is quickly being exposed/rendered powerless;
those who cling to the old way of religiosity will find it like quicksand disappearing beneath them, despite their tremulous fantasies of greatness/achievement; those seeking Holy Spirit help to espouse the Lord’s True Ways will see the Lord Alone glorified & experience wisdom of heaven/blessings to share beneath HALLELUJAH!!!

Young adults need to think about these things. I am so happy to see that many young adults are indeed mentally strong! That is why they are not falling into the ubf heritage trap.

I however was mentally weak and vulnerable due to my life circumstances when I was 18 years old. Now I am my own man and my mind is clear and strong.

For the first time ever, the world can now see the full ubf ideology documented on my blog:

The University Bible Fellowship 12 point Heritage

I have also revamped my personal blog to be a self-serve search engine. All of my articles are available to be searched and retrieved by any topic you want.

One point is a bit difficult and needs to be understood properly: “don’t waste energy on things you can’t control”. This has too often been misunderstood by UBF members to not take action because the leaders won’t listen to them anyway. But this is really not the way MSPs would see it.

(& thus productive/life-giving to all parties involved)
