Yes, all of them, because I just don't see that there is a widespread systematic problem in UBF. If the above things should be done, then when would it end? Nearly every poster on this forum has agreed at some point that UBF ministry needs to be ended. These things are a "slippery slope". I don't see how they could end in anything but denying Christ and the priestly duty he has given us.

I know that there are those who were wounded through their experience in UBF ministry. These people need to reconcile with whomever they have a problem with, and make peace with God. Blindly calling for the UBF ministry to end is not the way to go. I pray you and they may find peace and healing from God.

I also point out here that I've read nearly every "victim testimony" on the internet. There are mostly filled with "he said, she said" words that do not convince me of an ministry-wide abuse crisis in UBF. They do convince me that they suffered and in almost every case, something was done wrongly on both sides. I know in some cases, at least, that the events mentioned are taken out of context and cannot be properly understood with such a one-sided story. By the way, where are these people? Do they want the people here on this forum to be speaking about their private lives or to be speaking for them?

I also point out here that I knew James and Rebekah Kim. I was there when James Kim left. I was there when Paul Hong took over in Toledo. I saw the prayers, agonies, victories and struggles of leaders from the inside since 1987.

Brian.
