Admin note: This is an excerpt/preview of Ashley’s upcoming book of her experiences at her time in UBF that’s TBA. There are two main purposes of this article. 1. To show that there isn’t just one “disgruntle ex-member” as UBF claims and 2. To show the psychological consequences and effects of  UBF in 2017 is no different than getting involved in UBF in the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, etc.

Stop the UBF Campus Shepherding

There are “campus shepherds” on over 300 colleges and universities from a new religious group called University Bible Fellowship.

We, the undersigned, call on the leaders of the UBF shepherding system to stop the following:

1. Stop appointing personal, lifelong moral supervisors (aka “shepherds”) over students’ young adult lives.

2. Stop arranging marriages between UBF members, a practice called “marriage by faith”.

3. Admit and acknowledge (and put and end to) the mountain of eye-witness testimony regarding many kinds of abuse the UBF shepherding system has allowed, including, but not limited to:

  • Demanding unnecessary sacrifice of students, including ordering abortions as a requirement to become a missionary, cutting off ties with family and friends, and pressuring students to offer money.
  • Training students to obey through “dead dog training”, such as by having them walk barefoot 5 miles, to drive 3 hours every week to attend meetings, and to stand in ice water.
  • Intruding into students’ lives through undue religious influence, excessive daily, weekly and monthly meetings, and unhealthy indoctrination.
