when I left CF I attended a cult recovery workshop through CIFS. There was a spectrum of cults represented. There was a moment where we went around the room and someone piped up and said that their group was the only true group of believers and they had been following the messiah. Another person jum...

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. ...

If scripture is something that doesn't resonate draw strength from people you have come into contact...

Around 2010 the music took a bit of a turn, they stopped being scriptural based and more VIC based. I remember writing some songs for various things. I used the inspiration of the old scripture in song music. a very large portion of my songs were flat out rejected. I could never understand why. A si...

the specific incident happened in 2017. When I was having lessons It was expected we do the grades ect so I was classically trained but as the elders did not view music as my calling I was strongly reprimanded for pursuing any musical path after school. Others had a different experience and strongly...

Friends, I am wondering if there are others who would like to share about their experiences with music. For most of us learning an instrument was compulsory, this was not a choice but rather the elders 'naming' us. I was formally taught piano and later taught myself the guitar. Over time I came to l...
