They convince themselves that they are so courageous to go around and play ubf, but they are too fearful to think about or discuss what ubf really is.

I think that is a very valid point that Nick brings up. I see a great discrepancy between the courageous fighters of God and fighter for the truth that UBF members claim to be and there unwillingness to have open discussions, face the truth or make specific statements using their own name.

Another discrepancy I can see is the one between the arrogance and elitism of UBFers on one side, their "attitude " and their proclaimed being unworthy and humbleness against leaders. One ex UBFer summarized his "UBF life style" as a strange mixture between elitist presumptuousness and grovelling humbleness. You can see this clearly in the person who calls himself "Unworthy," but his postings have such an arrogant tone.

These two extremes are so tightly bound together in some UBF members that you fear they could explode every minute.

What makes this antagonism even more problematic is that you are humble where you should be bold and that you are bold where you should be humble.

I am a little bit bewildered that most anonymous UBF defenders use a language which is far from being humble. I am talking about idioms like "come on, you guys," "duh," "that .. HAHAHA... is so wrong.. , "check it man," and the like. I remember the late Daniel Hong had a similar attitude. So haughty and dismissive against anybody who left UBF.

Again, I'm not saying this to condemn you, "Unworthy" or "2nd gen." I am saying this to make you aware about the harm that has been already done to your personality by your staying in UBF. Please look at yourself. Do you see that you are the mature, understanding, courageous people of integrity you always wanted to be? Do you think you will ever become such people if you stay in UBF?
