A Huge Regret

One of the biggest regrets when I was an UBF perpetrator was betraying I.A.S when she has done me no wrong.


Back when I first came to the El Camino UBF chapter in 2014 she actually came around the same time as me.  I met her just prior to Sunday service. At the time she had long her before she was coerced into wacky training. I attempted to start a mundane conversation but she had no interest so I let her be.


Two years later in 2016 I did to her what I still regret even to this day: I betrayed her. This is how it happened. It was a Saturday night I had finished bible study (I believe it was Genesis Intensive). I was waiting for my mom to pick me up for it was 8:30 pm and there wasn't any buses running in Gardena. As I was waiting just outside the church I.A.S was backing out the driveway. She stop and asked for a ride. I was stunned for she had never spoken to me before. I declined the offer. The next day as I was waiting for a Gardena bus she passed by to go to her car and she waved, jumped, and smiled at me like some kind of psycho (no offence intended).

What I did next I deeply remorse even to this day. I betray her by sending a long (about 3-4 page) email to one of the seniors. As a result she got rebuked/punished. The reason why I did it was not to promote UBF's doctrine/dogma nor did I had nothing against her personally but that I figured that some one in the church will find out, tell my ex-bible teacher and he would get on my case and I would be blamed for the situation. For in 2015 I was literally rebuked/punished every single week for that entire year. I basically was only concerned about myself and my problems.


Some time later I apologized to her about what I did. She stayed away from me since and I don't blame her.

UBF Censorship

In UBF censorship I will talk about UBF censorship in general. 

On the UBF website ubf.org they have censorship several content on their page that will raise questions, controversy, suspicion, and bring contradictions. Here are several examples.

1. Here is a  link to a scholarly journal by a former UBF pastor that was censored and eventually removed from the UBF website.
 http://ubf.org/bbs/data/press_media/An_article_from_missiology004.pdf

Here is the link recovered: https://web.archive.org/web/20090107121308/http://ubf.org/bbs/data/press_media/An_article_from_missiology004.pdf .Note this is the UBF censored version

Here is the full original uncensored of the scholarly journal PDF file:
http://0-mis.sagepub.com.torofind.csudh.edu/content/31/4/473.full.pdf


2. Here is a link to a brochure that was up on UBF website but was removed: http://ubf.org/bbs/data/announcements/ubf_Brochure_SM.pdf

Here is the link recovered: https://web.archive.org/web/20101201001704/http://ubf.org/bbs/data/announcements/ubf_Brochure_SM.pdf

The brochure looks pretty normal at first. But when I got to the section "Leadership Training" there was a line that said "Full-time worker training". So I thought is this God's salvation plan or an actually job that you have to do?


3. Here is a link to the endorsements that was on the UBF website but was removed: http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/endorsements.php#glass

Here is the link recovered:
 https://web.archive.org/web/20080907104326/http://ubf.org/aboutus/endorsements.php

When you look at the recovered link you will notice that back in 2007-2008 UBF went to several Christian leaders for recommendations in order to create a good image of themselves. This proves and confirms what Brian Karcher has said in his book Identity Snatchers in the Introduction specifically in the section "What is UBF?" about how UBF went to get letters from Christian leaders/Pastors. Some of the letters are sugarcoated like Sung-Kyu Choi's letter that just give postive feedback and praise to UBF. Others like William R. Glass bring up the accusations and criticism against UBF but passes it off as them "hav[ing] misunderstood [UBF's] Korean cultural roots, as part of their leadership style, and have wrongly associated them with cultic practices. Nothing can be further from the truth." Right below are the PDF links to the letters that the Christian leaders/Pastors wrote and sent to UBF. **Unfortunely Robert Coleman's letter PDF file couldn't be recovered and Chun-Yill Park's letter has been lost.**

Ruth A. Tucker's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20080829001504/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/images/ruth-tucker-rec-letter-for-ubf.pdf

George Harton's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20080704082035/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/images/george-harton-recommendation-letter-for-ubf.pdf

John H. Armstrong's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20080704082251/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/images/john-armstrongs-rec-letter-for-ubf.pdf

Scott Moreau's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20080704081437/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/images/scott-moreaus-recommendation-letter-for-ubf.pdf

William R. Glass' letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20080704075633/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/images/william-glass-recommendation-letter-for-ubf.pdf

Joon-Gon Kim's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20131207222025/http://ubf.org/aboutus/images/campuscrusadeforchrist.jpg

Sung-Kyu Choi's letter: https://web.archive.org/web/20131207220032/http://ubf.org/aboutus/images/ChristianCouncilKorea.jpg


4. Here is the link to UBF's daily bread content back in 2011 which has been removed from the UBF website: http://ubf.org/content/todays-daily-bread

Here is the link recovered: https://web.archive.org/web/20110831190126/http://ubf.org/content/todays-daily-bread


5. Here is the link that shows UBF's associations/connections that has been removed from the UBF website: http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/associations.php

Here is the link recovered:
 https://web.archive.org/web/20080513144543/http://www.ubf.org/aboutus/associations.php


6. Here is the link that gives you an inside peek of UBF's operations that has been removed from the UBF website: http://ubf.org/aboutus/aboutus03.php

Here is the link recovered: https://web.archive.org/web/20080727012418/http://ubf.org/aboutus/aboutus03.php

What stood out to me when I saw the recovered link are two things. The first one is the section "Missionary Training". In that section it reveals the criteria and process on how to become a UBF "missionary". The second thing that stood out is the section "World Mission Reports". I see that the true purpose on testimony writing/typing is not to build you up in Christ but to keep a surveillance on you. Think about it. The seniors and the chapter director a.k.a "pastor/missionary" only see you 2-3 times a week: Fridays, Sundays, (Saturdays if you play an instrument) and when you have bible study. So how do they know about what you do during the rest of the week? How do they know about your insecurities and "kryptonite"? That is where testimony writing/typing comes in. It is mind control in a different form. If a UBF chapter puts up many security cameras around the church it would be deem suspicious by members and "outsiders" alike. So testimony writings/typings are a subtle way of the seniors & pastor to keep an eye on you and control you to their image, mindset, and likeness. In addition to these UBF has confessed/admitted that they "U.B.F. has carried out many philanthropic activities". They admit that they are just doing good-looking activities. Also they confess/admit in the section "Publications" that their materials such as messages, question sheets, bible study notes, etc are "constantly being developed and published." UBF is always revising their history, beliefs, and doctrine. The only way you know that they have censored something is if you have the original copy and/or reference.
