Hi Stargazer, Welcome. The short answer to your question is that BCF and affiliated groups are a cult. You are right not to call BCF a church as there is nothing christian about the group or their teachings. The CF group has not tried to grow for a very long time and has relied heavily on children b...

Friends, I am writing this as I don’t know where else to really turn. The price of leaving CF is high. It is drilled into us before we even consider leaving. When we do leave excommunication is swift and sharp leaving us without our families, friends and communities. You are made and example of as t...

Spiritual abuse—which is the manipulation and exploitation of others by the misuse of spiritual privilege and power—is a well ­documented problem in the mind controlling cults and sects of Australia. Unfortunately, as many battered Christians have discovered, its negative effects may also be found i...

That's incredibly sad but also funny. Vic's shot himself in the foot with all those people not earning money. How can they pay the tithe if they aren't making any money

when I left CF I attended a cult recovery workshop through CIFS. There was a spectrum of cults represented.

Dear Guest, I would like to understand more of what your questions are about. They are very ambiguous and Jargon heavy. I will only speak from my own journey since leaving CF. The first question "Why is my life characterised by fear, defeat and failure?" We were firstly conditioned to beli...

Friends, I have been recently encouraged to find there are a number of 2nd & 3rd generation CF people that are leaving. By that I mean children either made to join or born into the cult. I personally have had a number of people reach out to me in the last couple of months. The light shinning on ...

Hi, Many are aware of the ABC 4 Corners episode 'God of Broken Hearts'. Further to this Morag Zwartz did an investigation into the Christian Fellowship. The books are incredidibly difficult to track down with only a limited number left. I have been in contact with Morag and managed to get a couple. ...

Dear Guest, I am replying to the original post/question. Firstly CF doctrine is built upon this fundamental fault. Vic finds the word tree in the book of Genesis then finds the same word tree in say Romans. He then claims that because tree is in Genesis and also in Romans they are talking about the ...

Dear Guest, I am sorry you endured brutality. I relate to the flashbacks and night terrors and just how awful they are. I am glad you have been able to get some help. You are right the leaders do not have any kindness, compassion or love in their hearts. If you would like to get touch send me a priv...
