That is tragic... and honestly despite all I've seen, it is still a surprise to me. This is because I may have been a "lucky exception" of sorts even though I was under Murray's coaching. He didn't come down on me heavily or harshly. He frequently encouraged me to play with confidence, and...

I remember that song well. When I went to my new church and became leader of the youth ministry, it was one of the earliest songs I taught to them - and they loved it so much. "Thanks, giving thanks, to the Father of our Lord, Thanks, giving thanks, for His mercies ever sure, Our Shepherd who b...

Dexter, I am interested indeed. I visited BCF first in 1998, then again in 2005, then yet again in 2011, and 2014, and my final visit was in 2015, shortly before Vic "The Vicious Hall" Hall decided to boot me out, treat me with unbelievable cruelty and make me an outcast in the very church...

BreakFree, if I may ask, your testimony about what they did to you in Sydney - what year would that have been? I ask because while I was still in the xCF networks during the preeminence of Murray Wylie in music, I was also a pianist, but I was generally not reprimanded or admonished for playing song...

Seeker, I am ashamed to admit I was one of those people. I used to extol the virtues of Vic "the Vicious Hall" Hall as unquestionable, and his spoken messages as the unshakable, concrete gospel truth. However, now I am proud to say my eyes have been opened and I see him as the fallible, co...

Breakfree, I'm much like you. I was only 4 when Vic "The Vicious Hall" Hall began getting heavily involved in my old church. However, only difference between me and you is that I did have a network of pastors and non-RFI/xCF Christians to help me when Vic threw me out. Thankfully, my stubb...

Hope4, if I may correct you, the lyrics are even better than what you typed. The lyrics proper are: God will make a way, Where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me, He will be my guide, Hold me closely to His side, With love and strength for each new da...

I know very well how they claim that their "present truth" has moved on from the "outdated truths" that they claim have become "incomplete". This is because in 1998, when I was still a teenage boy 14 years of age, on my first trip to Brisbane and BCF, I remember Vic &qu...

Vile! What an utterly vile and wicked document! What an utterly abusive communication it is! I speak with full understanding of your pain at reading that paper, my friend, because when I was thrown out of my own former church and butchered by the 'elders' who were, of course, acting under Vic 'the V...

Being shunned is a scar that will never truly heal. Especially when you encounter those who are shunning you. The furtive glances. The torn looks on their faces as they debate inside whether they want to greet you warmly or just walk past you coldly, pretending that you do not exist. And if you gree...
