Well my supervisor is a long time UBF member since Korea when she was approached at school. I am scared to approach her. She has also been the meanest to me out of all of the members of UBF at work (for no reason). I try not to take it personal but I do.

She invited my wife and I to a service once. We went and my wife said she would nver go back again, that ubf was a cult! I also did not feel comfortable. I noticed/felt alot of sexual tension when I was at that service. The Americans also spoke in a weird way in english. I was also approached by these people at school many years ago and was brought to an apartment on campus by a korean guy. It was a stange experience never to be repeated.

I just want to go to work. I feel that these korean ubf members will only feel comfortable with another korean/ubf member in my place.

Thanks for listening
