Re: THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE
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 ...

Re: reclaiming what was lost
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...

Re: Shunning
If scripture is something that resonates with you look at the gospels. Look at the example of Jesus. and draw strength from that. Some helpful passages. John 10 (the Sheppard passage) and Ezekiel 34. If scripture is something that doesn't resonate draw strength from people you have come into contact...

Re: reclaiming what was lost
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...

Re: reclaiming what was lost
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...

reclaiming what was lost
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...

Re: What is happening in the Adelaide Fellowship? (Westlakes Christian Fellowship)
Hi, I noticed a big shake up with all the websites a number of years ago. I can only speculate about this but I feel that the wider CF network may have been getting a lot of unwanted attention due to society backlash against religious conservatism. Vic probably shut down anything that he thought was...

Re: STUDY BOOK: "THE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP ANSWERED FROM SCRIPTURE"
Thankyou Brendon, I appreciate the time and energy you have put into this document. I hope that it can help those in need as they exit. I had to sit through the steps of Salvation Series it was the last block of teaching before I exited. I took great pleasure in lighting a match and watching those b...

Sonseekers
Dear Friends, I want to share my experience of being indoctrinated from birth. Since becoming a parent myself I carry a great sadness for the innocent children who have to go through the Sonseeker program. Sonseeker is the CF version of Sunday School which is a curriculum Vic has written with his tw...

Re: False prophecies
Hi Dexter, At this point in my exit I had already been publicly humiliated. The leaders had made me out to 'crazy'. So publicly they said nothing to me it was flat out ignored. Behind closed doors I believe they were saying this about me Romans 11:8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupo...
