The above is a link to last years Fall program. As you can see it is heavy on cult recrutiment.

"Follow Me" is the theme. Translation: Follow UBF and especially your shepherd and UBF director.OBEY us and we will make every descion for you. Stay in UBF forever and go out and gain new recruits. If you leave, you will go to Hell.

I will be posting more links in the coming days.
