“Until the lions have their own historians, the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”
―African Proverb
Most of us former members have been written out of UBF history. Our pictures have been removed and our names have been erased. We are spoken of in the third person, as if we are dead. Thus, one purpose of this book is to tell the history of my former group from a collective former member viewpoint. UBF is actively painting the best possible picture of themselves to the world. This book is my attempt to reveal the nature of what is under all that holy paint. Healthy religion is about real transformation, not about painting over failures and shortcomings. These are the stories the group leaders do not want to be told. These are the stories the group will not discuss openly or honestly.
