What about UBF? Specifically, how has it addressed the past abuse going back to 1976? How has it disciplined the guilty? What has it done for the victims? As far as I can tell, they have done absolutely nothing.

Tell you what I heard from another cult

a) You cannot change the past.
b) If we dwell in the past, it hinders us to go on.
c) Those who were responsible at that time are deceased or gone already (even though some are now leaders!)
d) Don't dwell on other's sins, everyone is responsible before the Lord for THEMSELVES
e) If you have a problem with that, you need to be "more spiritual".

Isn't it somehow the same in all abusive cults regardless of where?
Rather forget the history than learn to live with it.
Not like Christ's Cross is somehow important or sin is serious...

In Christ,
Mike K.
