What are you talking about? I mean, really, what are you talking about? People were angry, parents were angry for what?

There was no weird message training dished out at the recent "young disciple's conference?" You didn't read about the recent fear tactics, so reminicient of Sam Lee, employed by Peter Chang at a UBF "orchestra camp" held, not in Germany, but in the United States?

>No

You didn't read about Sarah Barry declaring that Peter Chang's dictatorial "ministry" in Bonn is "exemplary?" You haven't heard your parents or other kids' parents say basically the same thing about Bonn?

This is a crock, confirmed by recent testimony from American and German chapters.

I've heard this before. You're confirming that the marriages are still largely arranged because you are trying to justify the practice.

The same criticize-the-critics approach employed by Lee and Barry for 30 years. The future of UBF looks a lot like the past of UBF. Quoting an old Apple Computer advertising slogan: Think different!
