I am astounded by his foresight!

The education focus seems like a good change at first. But then you realize all the education will be inward focused and isolated even further from the world.

Earlier I attempted to diagram what the structure of UBF looks like. (I think I now need to update that diagram to be more accurate.) Based on a few ideas connected to the Bible, a huge, top-heavy organization has been built with way more leaders than followers. The layers could be labelled as you say:

Bible study > Church > Business > Education > Government

This is really the path that the Roman Catholic church has already taken. If this trend continues, I predict we will see the “UBF Vatican”.

But it’s only consequent. They want to totally isolate their children and members from the “world” and any non-UBFish ideas and expand their influence in all areas. At first they had only Bible studies, then they became a “church”, then they started doing “business”, now they want to become kindergardens and schools and colleges, maybe in the next century they will buy a piece of land and found their own state. Maybe they can just buy North Korea.

I’m just so glad my family doesn’t have to go through the pressure of deciding whether to send our kids to “UBF School” or not.
