WikiShepherd
Examine. Expose. Exert.
This Wiki is a collection of definitions, articles and media related to religious ministries who practice shepherding ideology. In order to untwist and understand the harmful effects of shepherding theology, and to act as a warning to those who might be drawn to such an ideological system, we are creating this Wiki.
The first project here focuses on examining University Bible Fellowship, who is actively practicing shepherding ideology on 300 college campuses around the world, utilizing a unique Shepherd Training Model. The group is an odd mix of a UBF Value System and a UBF Lifestyle. The goal of UBF chapters is to guard and preserve the Spiritual Heritage created by the late Chang-Woo (Samuel) Lee. The leaders of the group are untrained, unordained, and unorthodox in their beliefs and methods. To be able to speak to them requires a Glossary of UBF Terminology and an understanding of their religion, called UBFism.
- Added information about the 2002 CIA investigation into Chang-Woo (Samuel) Lee. New section added Investigations

- UBF Info - Menu
- UBF Info - Index
- Kudos to WholeNumber for excellent work on building the list of insider language.
- New resource! The EZW in Germany has released some of their UBF documentation publicly. I have added this to WikiShepherd in the Organizations Documenting UBF section. Dr. theol. Reinhard Hempelmann, of the EZW, endorsed the book Identity Snatchers.
