UBF harassment
I have read with interest the article and letters about the so-called University Bible Fellowship (UBF) since I have had experience with that group.
A woman in her late twenties, calling herself Joy Sara Lee (her real name is Chung Soon Tai) phoned our house more than 100 times in little more than three months, and attempted to gain access to our house more than a dozen times. On one occasion, when the back door was left unlocked, 1 found her lurking in the darkened kitchen.
Our family asked her to leave us alone. I finally lost my temper and told her never to phone or call again and that we would call the police if she did not stop harassing us. The result was she got a young man to ring the doorbell while she hid behind a tree. She also had the young man make the phone calls for her.
Finally, when the police told her we had complained about her actions, the harassment stopped. But not until then. At least one member of UBF does more than Just “chat” with people.
Further, the University Bible Fellowship has no official or unofficial connection with any Winnipeg university, as I found when I called to complain to the universities about the organization. It does its recruiting of young, male Canadians on the university campuses and suggests by its name that it is a university organization. It is not.

“Ex-cult member still feels fear”

“The Winnipeg Sun” Vol. 10, No.90 Tuesday, April 17, 1990 PAGE 5 “Cult personality draws people to Fellowship” Ex-Cult Member Still Feels Fear by Wendy Stephenson Sun Staff Writer She doesn’t make the phone call herself. She’s scared. Someone else phones the newsroom. Please don’t print Theresa’s story – she’s changed her mind, he says. The story – told over 4 1/2 hours one day in late June – is one of human tragedy – a young woman who sought a closer relationship with God, but instead found herself abused and berated by so-called Christians. She became mixed up with the University Bible Fellowship, a cult that’s been kicked off university and college campuses in Canada and the United States [insert] Leader abused woman’s trust It was the last straw for a then 22 year old Bible study student, who realized the missionary position could take on a new meaning. She blushes even yet as she recalls how the man she looked to as her spiritual leader abused her trust. She had a...

“Shepherds no band of simple country folk”

“THE MANITOBAN” VOL. LXXVIII No.9, PAGE 5 October 3, 1990 “Shepherds no band of simple country folk” This piece on the University Bible Fellowship is the first in a two part series. By Greg Reage The University of Manitoba has recently followed the actions of the University of Winnipeg several years ago. It has banned a group of Korean shepherds from its campus. Far from being a band of simple country folk gently tending their flock, these shepherds are froma peculiar religious group called the University Bible Fellowship (UBF). The ban on this group shows that among all the social and cultural organizations, politcial and religious ideologies, an activist approach is sometimes needed by the administration of the universities. The universities’ actions are favorable, for an examination of the UBF shows that the ban will serve the interests of learning and the well-being of students. The UBF is an insular, fundamentalist group that stresses obedience, divine selection and i...

Canada UBF (Winnipeg UBF)– Shattering the Mask

In this article I confirm jc’s comment: “Though UBF’s banned from U of M, they changed their name to Bible Reading Club. They are now operating under different name.”   [ http://ubfriends.net/what-canada-ubf-did-after-the-winnipeg-ubf-scandal/#comment-1061] This is their new front. This is the description of their “club” Source:  https://communitylink.umanitoba.ca/organization/UMBRC These club seems like a typical college group on campus. But behind the surface it is not. So you must be wondering:  How do you know Jc’s intel is legit and not misleading?  That is a good   question considering the fact that on the old ubfriends site we used to have trolls. In the club description there is one phrase that is used by UBF members: “ pray for one another to enhance the quality of the individual’s campus life “. As you can see their prayer topic is centered on college students. In addition to this noticed their flyer for Sunday service:...
