This fundraiser on the chapter’s website looks appealing. But when you take a second look you will notice something shady about their “advertisement”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here is the advertisement:<\/p>\n

This Saturday we will be hosting a\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Steak Dinner Fundraiser<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
to benefit our building fund.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tickets are $50 and include our famous rib-eye steak,\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\nBless your mom <\/b>for Mothers’ day and support a good cause <\/b>at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

There are several things to note:<\/div>\n
God is not mentioned nor referenced at all in the ad. The bless you\/your phrase tries to imply God not to mention how vague it sounds. What is also vague is the phrase “good cause”. They don’t go into detail on what that means. They want you to guess what it is the answer then surprised with the “right answer”.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The second to last sentence “All are welcome to attend” is very misleading. What it should have said is “All whom John Baik approves of are welcome to attend” If one can recall not only has Baik exiled all the ex-members but also has threaten to arrest them as well.\u00a0http:\/\/ubfriends.net\/shepherds-church-gardena-el-camino-ubf-chapter-the-seniors-and-the-chapter-director-are-liars\/<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0https:\/\/ubfisacult.blogspot.com\/2017\/05\/el-camino-ubf-crisis-timeline.html<\/a>\u00a0.<\/div>\n

This advertisement is actually one of the most emotionally abusive methods by UBF: Love bombing. “Love Bombing\u00a0is an attempt to influence a person by demonstrations of attention and affection.” Source:\u00a0https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=love-bombing&oq=love-bombing&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i65j0l4.4778j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8<\/a>\u00a0. Here are several articles that go into depth on love-bombing, how to detect signs, and how to avoid it and\/or recovery from it:<\/div>\n
