Paul, I think it helps to separate the various elements of the CF group. Personally I have been out of the CF for over ten years and I am just getting over things and don't think about the abuses on a daily basis. For me I was greatly helped when I have undertook some further study at a reputable ch...

Hi Wendy, no, it is not mean to think that. If anything it helps you heal because you can tell yourself "I am not mad, others have suffered the same horrific treatment at the hands of these misguided men." We need to keep telling our story because there are still people in the Christian Fellowship g...

Wendy, you have made a point about going to see counsellors and telling other Christians about BCF. I have experienced the same thing. You tell people/friends/counsellor about what happened and who did what and how the elders controlled everything in your life (i.e. where you work, when you go on ho...

Drummer might have been Drew Sansness. I remember he was a drummer with an american accent.

It may be worth doing a little research on the ag...

I believe the rare frog was the Samford Long Nosed Swamp Frog

It was later joined by another Swamp Dweller who also had a long nose like Pinnochio !!

Thank you so much Paul and Bagel, for sharing your thoughts above. Paul your observations are spot on. Bagel, you had me chuckling with laughter at your turn of phrase, particularly the part where you said "A few executions in the street were all that was needed to keep the peasants from revolting. ...

Thanks Paul. your first post above really focuses in on the issues. From my time at BCF I can only agree with your analysis. EVERYTHING that Vic Hall preaches and disseminates is totally focused on control in every aspect in a persons life. From what I can understand, this manipulation has not relen...

Thanks Bagel. Your observation about exclusivity framing formal scholarship as dead works is very very true. I remember hearing numerous BCF leaders and also business people opening mocking formal theological training and seminaries as "cemeteries", thus discounting any and all teaching that theolog...
