I appreciate your reguard, and me, a follower of Christ, not of UBF I have noticed some tendencies. And it appears that some in UBF have wrong desires. But also it appears that others in UBF really desire to serve Christ whole-heartedly. To say UBF is bad is like saying any denomination is bad.

(Btw, I have only been attending for around 6 months)

Leaders who are not following Christ should clearly be handled. But I do know many in UBF who really do love Christ whole-heartedly.

...
And to the other guy who replied thinking i was under the "ubf" spells......

I really don't have anything to say. As I have only been in UBF for around 6 months.

With Love in Christ,
Jim
