The switcheroos at MCF/BCF

It's amazing that cults can change their message at all and still be believed.
I mean, its because they are so dogmatic. And then change their message? What? Hello!
But MCF/BCF made an art form of that from the mid 1990s. It was incredible.
In the 1990s we had this crazy ultra-legalistic, debilitating, destructive word on 'family order' and women submitting to husbands (and men to elders).
Then suddenly, in the mid-2000s they admitted that women need to be given room and not dictated to. Given their own 'sanctification'. Of course it's what we had all previously believed!
And the leaders started saying that, actually, your kids probably know better, what career or musical instrument they would prefer. And maybe even us men! And VIc Hall preaches - I kid you not - 'how silly, of elders to dictate the minutiae of men's lives'. But that's all they preached for the previous 10 years! So what does that say about the role the place was playing? No role except misleading because that's ALL they taught. They effectively reversed the last 10 years.
All without apology for the harm and waste of our lives. Almost making out it was our fault!
I hate that despicable MCF/BCF spirit.
How sick a place you are.
