I was wondering why you think it was "very handy" for MSU to video tape the speaker onto a large screen? I was at the conference, and I liked the fact that the speaker was shown on the screen. Do you think this worked for or against UBF?

Also, after returning from the conference, I have decided to leave UBF. I happened to come across this site and another site on the web; and I have read some negative things about them. I have always suspected that something funny was going on. I was a Christian before I got involved with them and feel disappointed that they have cult-like practices.

I appreciate you pointing out the differneces in this MSU conference with others. I have only been to three conferences, two of them last summer and this one. Only in the past year did I see some things from UBF that seemed different from a Christian church.

If you would please get back to me about the enlarged video image of the speakers. Thank you
