Regarding this part:

"Well, a lot has changed in UBF over the past couple of years. I do have to admit that there were a lot of strange, shameless things going on when DSL was leading UBF."

The fact that "DSL" was leading is exactly the point--to lead is to have followers, and most people followed "DSL" lock-stock-and-barrel, unthinkingly. Yes, it was strange and shameless on a grand scale. If you were one of the few who didn't buy into many of these strange and shameless things, there was pretty much no one to discuss this freely with.

Regarding this other part:

"THere are people who really want to serve God and who really love JEsus."

Love for God cannot be separated from love for neighbor, this is obvious from the Bible. I agree there were many who wanted and want to serve God and love Jesus, but many of these very same people committed intentional and extremely unloving acts towards their fellow men and women inside UBF and outside of it, too. I was also taken in by this kind of zeal, and for a long time. This zeal alone is not Christian, and there were, and I have a hunch still are, many in UBF who only have this kind of one-sided and un-Biblical zeal, which is wrong. That's all some of us are trying to say to you. May God bless you to do both, as I'm sure you want to do--love God AND love others, as Jesus completely commanded.

Thanks: Ward
