Fishing: abuse of campus privileges
Covenant: abuse of membership
- Those interested in becoming members fill out a form and take membership classes (classes led by pastor and overseers & offered as needed) When completed, a prospective member adopts the local chapter's covenant and his/her name is added to the active roll.
- The active membership roll is kept on file in the UBF offices and updated regularly. When members move away, their names are removed from the roll.
- This new covenant signing is a very recent trend, started sometime in 2015. In the past, such a covenant was implied. Now it is bureaucracy.

Arranged Marriage: abuse of marriage
- "God also blessed young missionaries who came to NJ through marriage by faith to feed God's flock of sheep at Rutgers."
