Indoctrination is a 2 way street. The cult leader--whether a religious cult or system like N. Korea--indoctrinates the cult members to see the leader as having amazing qualities that put that leader on a higher plane. The cult members, in turn, through endless over-the-top praise, indoctrinate the cult leader to live in their fantasy.

UBF members have heaped so much over-the-top praise for Barry so many times for so many years, mentioning her "decision" not to get married as if that qualifies her for some kind of sainthood ("Her Holiness", "Reverend Mother"), that it seems to have gone to Barry's head in some sort of reverse indoctrination. For no good reason, Barry brings up her unmarried state in conversation with someone (Amy) who already knows, when it has nothing to do with the topic being discussed, abortion. What does Barry think? That, as a rule, every woman who gets married contemplates getting an abortion?

The first part of her answer to Amy's question is also quite telling. "Well, in my opinion it's wrong; I'm against it. But..." This is precisely an example of the modern relativism, applied to the issue of abortion, that people such as Francis Schaeffer and Chuck Colson have warned Christians against. It's a sign that Barry's understanding of and respect for objective truth has been fundamentally obliterated. Perhaps years of defending UBF-ordered abortions in the USA and
Korea has resulted in this "evolution" of Barry's view of abortion toward modern moral relativism. Perhaps it's the influence of a number of "pro-choice" medical doctors on the UBF Board of Directors, who themselves may have turned to moral relativism as a result of years of defending Sam Lee.

"The word 'abortion' is not mentioned in the Bible..." -- Kevin Albright, 2003, defending his own relativistic view of abortion.

"Herod [who massacred babies] was pro-choice." -- John Bird, ca. 1994
