Can anyone name even one person who was convinced to leave UBF or try to "change" UBF through the "discussions" that we have had on the RSQUBF forum over the past 3-4 years? I can't. They have to see and experience the problems firsthand, and even then it takes divine intervention for them to actually recognize it as a problem. Example: UBFSoul (not exactly a core member of UBF) recognizing the truth about UBF "marriage by faith" after hearing a "testimony" at a UBF conference.

That's why I think it's a mistake to continue to focus on a perhaps open-minded "minority" in UBF; I know of a small handful of people in this "minority," and they won't touch this forum with a 10-foot pole. The focus should be on creating a place for more former members to connect and express their feelings and experiences, without having to fear the wolves (in shepherds' clothing) that they fled from; this forum currently is not such a place.
