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
