New laws tightening up on coercive behaviour

Greetings Fellow Travelers on Streetcar, just wanted to post about the recent laws passed in Queensland regarding coercive control.

Re: BCF and the Australian Charity & Not-for profits Commission (ACNC)

So, no wonder that there is naked ambition within the ranks to get ‘on the tithe’. Average income for those 14.86 FTE employees is around $270k p.a. If this report is correct. Surely there is some explanation for this? But am still staggered by the $14 million’profit’. Maybe there was a need for a s...

Re: Water Baptism at the Christian Fellowship

I often ask people if they have done an online search of BCF. It seems 99% of the people I ask have not, and have no desire to read/hear/say anything that puts the xcf's in a negative light. CRAZY!!!! I’m guessing that when people are beguiled enough to agree to outsource their own growth, responsi...

Re: More from Sir Vic'nator

Since so many pdf's/documents have been purged from the limpstand, I'll attempt to post what I've saved before vic's minions delete everything. Thank you seeker! And you can always use the waybackmachine. I’ve pulled a lot of old stuff out of the archives using that. If you know the approximate dat...

Re: The theology of 'planting'

Hello fellow travellers on this streetcar, There are some great and helpful words written in much of this forum, and in particular, this thread. If I can add some of my own….. Some of us were never born to be ‘planted’ anywhere except where we personally and intrinsically need to be. To hand that re...

Re: Water Baptism at the Christian Fellowship

I don't know the answer, but given the pdf by RK posted recently where he talks about the lampstand church, it would not surprise me if they passesd baptism over as being too sacramental and replaced it with a pledge of loyalty to the star messenger.
