I left after the 2003 Summer Bible Conference. I heard a testimony that described how a young shepherdess was convinced (coerced) to marry a stranger. The testimony and some others sounded like one of those communist propaganda speeches filled with ideals so contrary to basic human need that they were just lies. The basic idea was if you give up all your preferences in a future spouse and allow UBF to choose a spouse for you, you will be blessed by God. Marriage should not be for personal happiness but for campus mission.

That's when I realized, "Yes, I'm in a cult."
I didn't return.
