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.

I believe that anyone should have the right to believe that racial minorities are inferior. But for him to push his beliefs on children during recess? No. Brandt himself says that the UBF are not dangerous to people of normal discretion and intelligence. But groups that use  harassment  and  persistent pressure  to recruit don’t always ask their recruits if they have normal discretion and intelligence before beginning their persuasion. No
