How to leave UBF for good—Introduction
Hello everyone,
This will be an article series on “How to leave UBF for Good”. It is no doubt a big question that all if not most of you have pondered about. So here not only will the question be answered but also how to execute the departure from UBF as well.
Caiaphas–The true spirit of UBF
A response to viewers of ubfriends.net
Move on with your life – don’t blame the Church
This is the typical advice you get from a cult that does not want to change.
Leah Remini, one of my favorite actors – though I actually only know her from “King of Queens” – got the same advice when she started to speak out about her experience and tried to warn and help others:
Dropouts are pushed to move on so that the cult can also move on undisturbed, exploiting the next generation of victims.
Luckily, there are always a few who don’t just move on, but also care about revealing the truth to the public.
It’s difficult. You will lose your former “friends” in the cult, and even worse, you may lose family members still stuck in the cult. People outside the cult will not understand what you’ve gone through and why you stayed in that toxic environment for so long, they may think you’re crazy. But leaving the cult is the best thing you can do, and telling others about your experience is even better.
Thank you, Leah.

A Friendship Fractured
The leader of the UBF Chapter I use to go to has a daughter named S.B.
I first meet her at the Spring 2014 bible conference where I introduced myself to her and shook hands with her. She was kind and friendly. Overtime I developed a bond with her. Some time after my awakening of seeing the “fantasy turn horror” at the wedding on Jan 10, 2015 we still talk and the truth is she not only treated me as a human being but as an equal.
The Four Reform Events–Follow up Article
What has been lost has been found. It was believed that upstanders to the perpetrators of UBF and its retribution were silenced or disbanded. However, that is not truly the case. The reformers are still active and mainly together even to this day. In fact with the way events and circumstances are proceeding in current UBF chapters where current members are shaken up and questioning things (like those who are still in the chapter I use to go to) there’ll be a 5th reform movement. This is a theory of course but a very probably one.
