UBF的董事級牧者Hayes Tang，會否也被洗腦呢？ (17 Sep 2012)

以下是 Hayes Tang博士在 2011 年 UBF 第九屆的 Founders Day 中，在美國發表的 UBF Hong Kong 宣教報告的部分內容： 

1)　歌頌 Angela Kim 宣教士的偉大，把她神性化： 

Dr. Hayes Tang wrote: "…God also used M. Angela Kim as the Lydia of UBF Asia pioneering history...She stopped relying on the pills and threw them away. She declared with a martyr’s spirit: “If God wants to take my life, I must give my life on the ground of the University of H.K.”. Soon after that, God healed her like a miracle…We treat her and love her as our mother. She is also my spiritual mother…” 

Hayes Tang博士在他的 UBF Hong Kong 宣教報告中，首先，他高度表揚韓國的 Angela Kim宣教士，認為她是開拓亞洲歷史中的呂底亞，然後又把她神性化，認為因著她不依靠藥物、而單單依靠神，為神捨命的信心，而經歷神完全醫治她的神蹟。事實上，患病拒絕按醫生的指示吃藥，反而尋求神蹟，是否正確呢？繼續吃藥又是否等於不依靠神呢？ 

另外，Hayes Tang博士完全無提及 Angela Kim的道德操守，例如：她作為教會的領袖，竟然多年沒有公開財政，又沒有發慈善團體收據；另外，報告中無提及她身為單身婦人，卻 15 年以上都是一直與數位男弟兄同住一個帳棚，而不是住在姊妹帳棚。 

2). Angela Kim 宣教士因絕對地傳福音，令不信的丈夫離開她。 

Dr. Hayes Tang wrote: “…..While M. Angela preached the gospel absolutely to H.K. students, her unbelieving husband left her......” 

報告中提及 Angela Kim 因絕對地傳福音，令不信的丈夫離開她，這件事也令人質疑，只單方面聽取 Angela Kim 的言論，未能客觀了解其丈夫當時的感受和實際離開的原因，另一方面，聖經教導妻子若有美好見證，不信從道理的丈夫也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來，見下： 

"你們作妻子的要順服自己的丈夫；這樣，若有不信從道理的丈夫，他們雖然不聽道，也可以因妻子的品行被感化過來；這正是因看見你們有貞潔的品行和敬畏的心。" (彼前 3:1,2) 

假如她在家中的見證是美好的，她的丈夫為何會因她信主而離開她呢？ 

3). 歌頌 UBF 將會成就的”偉大工作”。 

Dr. Hayes Tang wrote: “…Praise the Lord for using M. Angela Kim so preciously and enabling us to cowork with her for pioneering the other 4 universities in H.K. and 2300 universities and colleges in C.…” 

Hayes Tang博士讚揚神使用 Angela Kim及香港的同工們開拓四所香港的大學及 2300所 C. 的大學。但事實上，他是讚揚一些未發生及未必會發生的事，這種讚揚看似十分偉大, 可令一個人活在高度幻想性的世界中而十分自豪，認為 UBF Hong Kong 真的很偉大，但其實他們連一個 C. 的宣教士都無差派過，連一所 C. 的大學也沒有開拓過。Hayes Tang博士這種不乎事實的讚揚背後，會否達致洗腦效果，誤導人相信 UBF Hong Kong 真的很偉大呢？ 

4) 貶抑其親生父母 

國民教育其中一個被認為是偏頗的教導，就是：“形容中國共產黨是「進步、無私與團結的執政集團」，又批評西方民主國家政黨輪替是「政黨惡鬥」”，這是一種貶抑異己或排他性的思想，這種手法可能導致人失去批判性思考，盲目地效忠某個組織。 

Dr. Hayes Tang wrote: "My father worked in the tax department of the H.K. government (a “HK tax collector”) and my mother was an “angry” elementary school teacher (like a strict “tiger mother”)…I hoped there would be a car accident. Why? It is because if there was a car accident, I would be sent to the hospital instead of going home…My childhood was not joyful…" 

在聖經中，當時的猶太社會裏，稅吏和妓女是公認的罪人，Hayes Tang博士竟然公開地稱自己的父親為”稅吏” (Tax Collector)，又稱自己的母親為”虎媽” (Tiger Mother)。 

作為他的父母，若聽到辛苦養育的兒子，竟然公開負面地批評自己，會有何感受呢？其實，中國文化和聖經的教導十分重視孝道，作為UBF Hong Kong 董事級的牧者，今天能成為博士/教授，不但無感激父母養育之恩，反而負面批評父母。正常的基督徒也不會這樣做，這樣的行為比不信的人還不好。 

"人若不看顧親屬、就是背了真道、比不信的人還不好．不看顧自己家裡的人、更是如此。” (提摩太前書 5:8) 


5). 總結： 
Dr. Hayes Tang wrote: “In 2008 God blessed me to enter the HKU PhD program……God gave me a lecturer position at HKU Community College.” 

Hayes Tang博士身為港大的博士/教授，卻在公開場合發表如此的報告，而歌頌的內容也似乎較為偏頗，及缺乏客觀性，例如：他公開歌頌 UBF Hong Kong 和 Angela Kim宣教士的同時，卻貶抑自己的父母和童年生活，Hayes Tang博士有沒有被洗腦後的特徵呢？

KimChi Talk’s False Speech by UBF shepherds (21 May 2012)

brother_2008 wrote:
” I am a former UBF brother who left UBF a few years ago. When I left, my feelings was almost the same as that of the previous shepherd’s leaving testimony a few months ago. The difference is that at that moment, I was like being isolated and failed to find the right person to share with.”

In fact, all exodus of former UBF – Hong Kong members would probably experience this sort of mental experience. From “suspecting” to “struggling”, from “being brainwashed” until “coming back to senses”, then he would experience some incidents to trigger him off. At last, he made decision to leave. Although this process will experience the painful feeling of discredited, isolation, or even be demoted. However, when he leaves UBF, he would have freedom in Christ and could drink the pure spiritual milk, so he will recover very soon and live a new life filling with freedom and joy.

It is said that the incident triggered one fellowship to leave UBF is in the Q&A session of the CUHK’s KimChi Talk. During the Q&A session, several UBF core shepherds were suspected of telling lies, untrue and misleading words publicly. Their behaviors caused some sheep to question about the integrity of the shepherds. They began to believe that UBF is an abusive church and made a decision to leave.

The following are several important cases in CUHK’s KimChi Talk on 11^th April, 2012:

Case 1 (UBF-Hong Kong’s messenger Shep Tang XX claimed: I am just an ordinary shepherd, I hope that I could promote to a senior shepherd in the future)

During the Q&A session of CUHK’s KimChi Talk, one director class shepherd stood up. Dr. Cheung Teng asked him to introduce which shepherd’s class he belongs to. He kept on smiling and denied that he is a senior shepherd. He claimed that he is just an ordinary shepherd. And he even said that he hopes to promote to a senior shepherd in the future. However, what is the actual position and the real identity of this shepherd? The following content is quoted from UBF’s official web site:

“Shepherd Hayes Tang reported on Hong Kong Mission, and shared his life testimony. He became a born again Christian through one to one Bible study during his school days, and then he became an ancestor of faith in Hong Kong UBF …”
(source: http://www.ubf.org/content/america-visit-report-moody-park) 

According to UBF’s official web site, Hayes Tang is the ancestor of faith in Hong Kong UBF (also called “ancestor of faith – Abraham”). In UBF, every University has only one ancestor of faith. The statues of the ancestor of faith in UBF is very high and is highly-honored by missionaries. Shep. Hayes Tang is not only the ancestor of faith of one university, he is even the ancestor of faith in Hong Kong UBF which is a chapter combined by few universities. However, he claimed himself to be an ordinary shepherd. Obviously, he is suspected of telling lies publicly. Furthermore, he also said that he would like to promote to a senior shepherd. Does he think that being the ancestor of faith in Hong Kong UBF is not enough? Does he even have a greater ambition to pursue further promotion?

Summary of case 1:  As the ancestor of faith of Hong Kong UBF, he was actually giving false speech, leading to the questioning about his integrity. As a faith ancestor and messenger of UBF, he did not set a good example of speaking honestly. Will he bring bad influence of releasing false speech publicly to UBF’s shepherds, brothers and sisters?

Case 2 (Shep. “Wanna Buy House”, sheep of Shep. Tang XX, claimed,  “I have freedom to travel and my life in UBF-Hong Kong is very free. If being Shepherds are so busy, I think I have already left UBF.”

(Remarks: Shepherd “Wanna Buy House” once wanted to buy a house but his ideas was rejected and judged by missionary.)

During the KimChi Talk, Shep. “Wanna Buy House” claimed that his life was very free in UBF. He could even go traveling and buy T-shirt, etc. However, his statement was misleading. Since according to the message of Shep. TangXX, “Traveling” is worldly (or an example of the easy-going life). Let’s see below the UBF-HK’s faith ancestor TangXX’s teaching (Message of Chapter III in UBF-HK). In his message, he pointed out “traveling” is a “wide gate”, that leads to destruction:

"But for the wide doors, it is no need to invite others or to send invitation card. Everyday there are people forming teams to enter. They might form teams like “Tour group”, “Food group”, “Shopping group”… to rush into the wide gate. Therefore, although behind the wide gate are “Comfort Station”, “Pleasure Station”, “Vanity station”, ”Crime Station”, but …the terminus is “Perish”…So what is the actual difference between “narrow gate” and “wide gate”? “Wide gate” means “having a free (easy-going) life”. People do not need hard-working or struggling spiritually but they can still enter the wide gate. Behind the wide gate, people can enjoy comfort and lust. Therefore, choosing “wide gate” is a natural practice. On the way of wide road, people can meet many friends and they would not feel lonely.” (source: message of Chapter III, 21/9/2008, Mat 7:13-29)

Indeed, Shep. “Wanna Buy House” shared sogam in the message of 2011 HK SBC. He mentioned that his coworker cannot pass the “language benchmark test” for three years, so she was requested to repent.

“…but I work with computer everyday, so I don’t know how to love the others. Last year, my coworker (wife) could neither find any sheep nor any job. She also failed to pass the “language benchmark test” in the past three years. She was not only discouraged, but also looked down by others. Those who did not understand her, just asked her to repent, but did not realize that she was one who also need to be shepherding. I felt her frustration. I encouraged her that God can easily give you a job.” (14/8/2011, message of HK SBC, John 21:1-17)

Summary of case 2:  From the above message and sogam, we can see that shep.Tang XX’s sheep, “Shep. Wanna Buy House”, cannot live freely in the real world as he said. His wife was requested to repent and lacked of being shepherded. If he follows the teaching of TangXX, it is impossible for him to travel. Therefore, his speech was misleading or untrue. It is presumptuous for him to speak such misleading or untrue speech. Is it inherited from TangXX?

Case 3  (A CUHK Shepherdess, Shep. G, claimed, “I was not arranged marriage in UBF”)

During KimChi Talk, Dr Cheung Teng asked if UBF will arrange marriage and asked the UBF shepherds whether they were arranged marriage in UBF or not, and asked them to answer one by one. At that time, all shepherds kept silent, including the faith ancestor shep. TangXX. Nobody answered. However, Shep. G stood up suddenly and took herself as an example. She told that she had a boyfriend before, and later they got married in UBF, instead of being  “arranged marriage”. Although she was telling something true, she hided the fact that 90% of the shepherds are arranged married in UBF – Hong Kong. Her marriage is just a rare example in UBF. Although she did not tell lie, such speech is misleading people to think that brothers and sister have freedom to date with someone and choose to marry in UBF-Hong Kong.

Summary of case 3: Shepherdess G took herself as an example, so that people think that not all shepherds are arranged to marry in UBF. However, she did not honestly point out the fact that 90% of the marriages of shepherds are “arranged marriages”. This practice was misleading, confusing the public and resulted of losing her integrity.

The aftermath of KimChi Talk

Recently, a former UBF member shared with me honestly the follows:

Since his shepherd often told him that the speech on web are false, it is difficult for him to distinguish whether they are true or false, as a result, he hesitated and stayed in UBF for a period. However, “KimChi Talk” helped trigger his decision to leave UBF because he personally saw that UBF shepherds was lying, hiding the facts, misleading and confusing the public. The missionaries (as leaders) were hiding behind in the Q&A session of KimChi Talk. These triggered him to question the integrity of the UBF missionaries and shepherds. Finally, he realized that the speech on web is mostly with evident to support. He had reflections after “KimChi Talk” and he finally made decision to leave UBF-Hong Kong. He left UBF because he heard the voice of UBF shepherds (especially those with ancestor class), and that helped trigger his decision to leave UBF.

I believe those shepherds, including Shep. Tang XX, Shep. G and Shep. “Wanna buy house”, are victims indeed. They are kind-hearted. They thought that they could stand out as the shields for the missionaries which caused this exposure of their speech suspected of lying and misleading.

I hope those missionaries, as leaders, do not use the poor local shepherds to become their shields. So that they could be leaders who walk in front of the sheep bravely to face and address the issue of UBF’s manipulation, dictatorship and lies, etc.

“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44) This key verse is often used by UBF shepherds for teaching the sheep. Hope that each time when they teach the sheep this key verse, they could also reflect on it.

泡菜講座中的失實言論 (17 May 2012)

發表於: 05-16-2012 22:36    文章主題: 泡菜講座中的失實言論
泡菜講座中的失實言論  brother_2008 寫到: 自己是數年前離開UBF的弟兄，離開時的感受與某牧者在多月前的離開見證幾乎完全一樣。只是那刻像被孤立，未有找到合適對象能一同分享。 其實所有離開者都必定會經歷這些心路歷程，從起初懷疑到爭扎，從被洗腦到醒悟過來，再經歷一些導火線而決志離開，雖然過程中會因不斷被抹黑、孤立、甚至被降職而痛苦，但離開UBF之後，因著擁有基督裏的自由，和可以喝到純正的靈奶，很快便恢復過來，過著自由喜樂的新生活。 據聞今次觸發那團契成員離開的導火線，是由於泡菜講座裏 Q&A 的環節中，幾位UBF核心牧者的言論有說謊、失實和誤導之嫌，令那團契的羔羊質疑牧者們的誠信，及覺得UBF是一所有問題的教會，而最終決定離開。 以下列出泡菜講座中的幾個重要個案： 個案一（UBF信息僕人鄧XX牧者聲稱：我是一般牧者，希望將來有機會可以升做高級牧者）   在泡菜講座Q&A 的尾段時，一位UBF董事級牧者，站起來「笑口噬噬」地否認自己是高級牧者，只是個「一般牧者」，甚至說自己也希望一天有機會可以升做「高級牧者」，然而，這位牧者在教會中的位置及真正身份究竟是甚麼呢？以下是摘自UBF官方網站的內容： “Shepherd Hayes Tang reported on Hong Kong Mission,and shared his life testimony. He became a born again Christian through one to one Bible study during his school days, and then he became an ancestor of faith in Hong Kong UBF …” (source: http://www.ubf.org/content/america-visit-report-moody-park) 根據UBF的官方網站，這位牧者是香港UBF的「信心祖宗」（又稱為信心祖宗亞伯拉罕），在UBF裏每所大學都只有一位信心祖宗，而信心祖宗的地位崇高，是僅次於宣教士的，而Hayes Tang牧者不單止是一所大學的祖宗，更是Hong Kong UBF的信心祖宗，但他卻稱自己為一般牧者，這明顯有公開說謊之嫌，而且，他還想升做高級牧者，莫非他覺得自己只是Hong Kong UBF的信心祖宗還不夠麼？還想升職麼？ 小結： 身為Hong Kong UBF的信心祖宗，竟然公開地說失實的言論，令人質疑其誠信，他身為信息僕人，沒有以身作則地說誠實話，會否將隨便公開講失實言論的壞影響力帶給Hong Kong UBF的牧者和弟兄姊妹呢？ 個案二（鄧ＸＸ的羔羊「想買樓牧者」聲稱：我可以自由自在地去旅行，如果牧者的聚會是如此密集，我就會離開UBF了）  「想買樓牧者」在講座中站出來說自己在UBF裏十分自由，還可以去旅行、買T-shirt等。他的言論有誤導之嫌，因為按UBF的教導去旅行是世俗的，以下是他的牧者UBF - Hong Kong「信心祖宗」所領導的三部崇拜的主日信息，指出去旅行是進闊門，而最終是要滅亡： 「但對於闊門，不需要邀請人或邀請卡，也每天有人，甚至組隊地進入；好像旅行團、美食團、優惠搶購團，紛紛地進入闊門…所以雖然闊門之後有舒服站、享樂站、虛榮站、犯罪站，但…總站是滅亡…那麼，闊門和窄門實際上指著甚麼呢? 闊門指著自由自在的生活：人不需要努力， 不需要屬靈掙扎都可以進入闊門。闊門後有安逸和情慾可以享受。選擇闊門是自然不過的事，在那寬敞的路上人可以遇見不同的朋友， 一點也不孤單。」 (摘自2008年9月21日(第Ⅲ部信息), 馬太福音 7:13-29) 事實上，「想買樓牧者」也曾分享過自己同工因三次考不到基準試，而被人叫她悔改的所感： 「……可是我每天對著電腦多過對人，我不懂得去愛人。同工(即他的妻子)遇上過去一年，都找不到羔羊、找不到工作、考了三年也不能通過語文基準，灰心之餘更被人看少。唔明白她的人，只會叫她悔改，卻不知她也需要牧養。我感受到她的無奈，鼓勵她話　神要賜下一份工作給妳，是好容易的事情……」 (14/8/2011夏令營信息，約21:1-17) 從以上信息和所感可見，鄧ＸＸ的羔羊「想買樓牧者」並非如他所說的可以在現實世界裏，自由自在地生活，若他真的遵從鄧ＸＸ的教導，他也不可能去旅行。因此，他的言論有誤導或失實之嫌。他斗膽公開地說誤導或失實的言論，會否從鄧ＸＸ身上承襲下來呢？ 個案三（中大非配婚G牧者：我不是配婚的）  泡菜講座中，滕師母詢問UBF牧者UBF是否有配婚安排，並請他們逐一說出自己是否被配婚。 這時候，所有被配婚的牧者(包括鄧XX)也沉默下來，不作回應，然而，那時一位G姊妹牧者站出來，說自己是跟男朋友拍拖，後來在UBF裏結婚的，並不是配婚的。雖然這姊妹牧者說的不錯，但事實上，香港UBF裏有九成UBF牧者也是被配婚的，而她只是UBF裏罕有的例子。雖然她並沒有說謊，但這樣的言論卻同樣有誤導成份，令人誤以為UBF容許信徒自由拍拖和結婚。 小結：這位非配婚G牧者，舉自己作為例子，使人覺得UBF裏並非所有牧者都是被配婚的，但她卻沒有指出九成UBF牧者也是被配婚的事實真相，以如此手法隱惡揚善、誤導信徒，實在有失誠信。 泡菜講座的餘波  最近，一位離開UBF的人坦誠告訴我，由於早前他的牧者經常告訴他「網上的言論是假的」，令他難以分辨真偽，而留在UBF猶豫了多時，但最終觸發他離開UBF的原因，就是因為他在泡菜講座中，親眼看見UBF的牧者在公開場合公然說謊、隱瞞事實、誤導信徒及作為領袖的宣教士在Q&A時躲在後面等真相，令他開始懷疑UBF的宣教士和牧者的誠信，並發現網上許多言論都是事實。經過這次泡菜講座後的反思，他最終決定離開UBF了。這位前UBF成員的離開，完全是因為聽了UBF牧者們(特別是祖宗級的)的聲音，而觸發他決志離開UBF。 我相信以上的牧者鄧ＸＸ牧者、G牧者、想買樓牧者其實都是受害者，他們一片好心，以為自己可以站出來作宣教士的擋箭牌，才導致被人揭發他們言論有說謊及失實之嫌，希望作為領袖的宣教士不好再利用可憐的本地牧者作他們的擋箭牌，可以勇敢地作「行在前頭」的領袖，面對及正視UBF的操控、獨裁、說謊等嚴重問題。 「你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們父的私慾，你們偏要行，他從起初是殺人的，不守真理．因他心裡沒有真理，他說謊是出於自己，因他本來是說謊的，也是說謊之人的父。」（約8:44）這是UBF牧者經常教訓羔羊時用的金句，希望每次當他們教訓羔羊這金句之前，也反思一下吧！
