If our fellow man wrongs us, we are not to condemn him--leave that to God.

This site is not about condemning. It is simply about revealing the wrongs. If our fellow man wrongs us, what are we supposed to do, according to the Bible? "Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt." (Lev 19:17). By the way, this verse is embedded between the word "Do not hate your brother in your heart" and the most famous "love your neighbor as yourself." These things do not contradict each other, they do along with each other. Because DSL has never been frankly rebuked by his fellow UBF leaders, all these leaders share in his guilt according to the Bible. We are not here to condemn UBF people and we do not hate them (except maybe a few how have extremely been abused, but it is not their fault). We only hate and condemn their wrong teachings and practices and frankly speak about these things. If you think your fellow man may never be rebuked, you are in error, this is a completely unbiblical stance. And you know that UBF is holding a double standard here: UBF's "shepherding" model is all about rebuking the sheep. From top to bottom, rebuking, controlling, manipulating, forcing, "training" etc. is allowed and considered indespensable, but from bottom to top, we shall leave everything to God. That's a double standard.
