Dear UBF member,
I appreciate your attempt to defend UBF. When I was a UBF member, I would have regarded the idea of UBF as a money-making machine as preposterous. It is because you are conditioned to defend UBF in every possible way. You are molded to twist your thinking to look at the horrible things that happen in UBF, and think that it is good and proper and Christian.
But, some facts stand out. You cannot deny that UBF routinely and heavily pressures its members to offer money, especially at conferences. You also cannot deny that there is a huge amount of money sitting in some black hole of an account in Benoit, Mississippi. You also cannot deny that, instead of supporting its missionaries, UBF expects the reverse to happen - the missionaries support the headquarters! That smacks of a pyramid scheme.
And you are missing the point. I agree with you UBF is not primarily a money-making machine. It is a mind-controlling, authority-abusing, doctrinally aberrant machine. It is a cult, and its desire is to gain control over you and other people. These are plain incontrovertible facts.
Dear UBF member, why don't you educate yourself about the organization which you are so haphazardly trying to defend? The information exposing the true nature of UBF is so abundantly available. You devote hours of time to your UBF activities out of compulsion. Can't you at least take a few hours to read the testimonies of those who have been ruthlessly abused by UBF? To read a book called TWISTED SCRIPTURES which shows that your group's doctrines are not based on the word of God but on the teachings of man? To learn about the principles of brainwashing and how they are subtly applied in UBF and other cults?
