Friends, this is quite an interesting post. Sadly we all did things and hurt people while apart of Christian Fellowship. We thought we were doing the right thing. It's only once we are away from the situation can we really see our behaviour for what it was. We were brainwashed, this is not an excuse...

We can only hope that once Vic passes that CF will desolve.The infighting amongst the Hall family and other leaders for the top job could be the catalyst for many to see CF for what it is. I fear though that Jesus words will ring true. Matthew 23:15 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! ...

Hello, I am wondering how people manage their situations with family members still in CF once you have left. I ask this out because my family are still in. Despite numerous attempts they do not want to see the facts or take accountability for their behaviour. Initially I was sunned and excommunicate...

Something I found encouragement in was knowing he suffered severe mental health his entire life. Tragedy happened an...

On the matter of Finances.
I know that in SCF the money was invested into realestate. A few of the top inner circle managed quite large realestate portfolios. I heard rumors about off shore accounts but could not verify this.

I can definantly attest to having Complex PTSD from being born into CF. The good news is that when you step back from being in a cult and look at it from a medical perspective of having Complex PTSD there is a path for treatment and recovery.

Hello, I am involved with a cult recovery group Cult Information and Family Support (CIFS). https://www.cifs.org.au/ When I left Christian Fellowship I attended a weekend workshop which was covered information re cults and coercive control. I found this very valuable to help make sense of my experie...

I had the same issue. It took a number of months. I just kept trying and eventually I was approved.

Its hard to interpret jibberish, with lots of jargon but no actual meaning. This is classic CF sermons a complete word salad. Cults in general are good at making people shut down their critical thinking. So if they make it sound really intelligent, throw lots of unrelated bible verses together as a ...
