Until we do so, I don’t see much chance of God’s healing or restoration.

Her death was never mentioned by Ron Ward from the pulpit, Nor was it talked about at the center. What a tragedy.

Your words confirm my suspicions, that this story was swept under the rug in Russia. I suspect there are few, if any, in Russia who know these facts. As your family found out, this is not a healthy way to live.

Peace and grace to you.

But I have never heard the Sarah’s story. I am terrified… I remember when I wanted to leave UBF some years ago my wife cried and said that I would ruin her life. Now after reading the Sarah’s story she confessed that she was ready to commit suicide several times (when I spoke about my possible leaving UBF), because she couldn’t imagine her life without UBF. She confessed that she didn’t think about her husband and children and parents at those moments. I left UBF last fall and I was so sick phisically that I told my wife several times, “If I die, know that UBF killed me”. UBF is the worst thing I have come across in my life.

What were UBF members told? For the most part, nothing. More information about this sad event was found out on the internet disucssions than from UBF leaders:

And all the while, back in 2005, I was pontificating about how great UBF is…
