“Marriage by faith, as practiced in UBFism, is to be avoided at all costs. It is a vile manipulative control tactic from hell.“– Wikigoat
This quote is very good advice. However you must be wondering: What about those who are already in an arranged marriage in UBF? What can they do to leave? These are very important questions that will be answered in this article. But before that there is something else that needs to be addressed.
Someone’s comment on communism about my good in theory but not in practice post helped me think about this concept
There are only two economic models commonly taught: distributism and slavery.
In distributism individuals own their own means of production or at least their own land and tools where as in slavery a third party owns the means to survive and will hurt, capture or execute you if you try to be in control of your own ability to grow food this slavery system has sometimes been called Marxism and at other times called capitalism.
In distributism sometimes people opt out from growing their own food but still own the tools of their trade on their own so can freely exchange. In slavery a bureaucratic organisation whether government as in Marxism or corporate as in capitalism holds your tools and land hostage and Marxism and capitalism are really the same thing because a third party owns the means of production
What does this have to do with bible study?
University bible fellowship is advertised as a do it yourself bible teaching service (owning your own means of production) but actually you are to teach the lessons as a bureaucracy dictates (higher ups own the means of production.) Unlike Marxist countries you can escape it on an individual level by having a change of mind. Instead of using real force to prevent you from doing it yourself bible study they use imagined force from a God who will punish people who think out of line (and I am not denying God’s existence.) In order to be free from Marxism or capitalism a massive number of people would have to have a change of mind and the means to physically defend themselves or an individual must find a means to hide but in order to escape from top down bible study an individual can merely change their mind and live in plain sight about their beliefs in front of church members except of course the beliefs the government will kill you for those might need to stay hidden.
There are also several other threats than an imagined portrayal of God such as social ostracism and imagined consequences of living life the non ubf way such as fears that dating might lead to bad results these fears might or might not well be legitimate and maybe should be a reason to behave a certain way but should not block your mind from thinking about alternative possibilities!
I still stand for what I believed ubf was involved in when I became seriously committed to the group. I believed ubf was about helping people on a grassroots level not a denomination with a top down hierarchy. I am committed to the mission I believed ubf was about and as such i must oppose the old guard. If i have time i will explain what I admire about ubf as advertised and how ubf as practiced is often contrary to the advertisement. For now I will just say if we reached out to our neighbors and had sincere dialogues open to each other’s viewpoints and willing to help with shared goals the world might be a better place
I have more understanding than the elders,
for I obey your precepts psalm 119:100 niv
It was obeying the precepts as advertised that got me in trouble with the group
Hello everyone. UBF chapter directors, seniors, and anyone who is pro-UBF have no intentions of apologizing or taking any responsibility of any wrongdoing. Instead they do what typical UBF members do: censor anything that exposes them or they deem as non-UBF related. One way of censorship is that the UBF web committee (Yes they have a web committee) whom contacts Google to adjust search results as though UBF is god of the internet when they are clearly not god.
Greetings Everyone. Here is more intel on the El Camino UBF chapter (Shepherd’s Church). You may have heard of John Baik, his sugarcoated stories, etc. Here is the information and knowledge that he and the seniors have attempted to destroy, censor, and discredit.

“After 20 years, I resigned from the Presbyterian Mission. My resignation was accepted, but I was asked to continue as an affiliate missionary with the Presbyterian mission. I did this until 1977, when I realized that I would not be living in Korea again.” —Sarah Barry
Barry herself admitted that she and UBF broke off all ties from the Presbyterian church.
