MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), the founding church of the XCF group, including BCF (Brisbane CF) which, has become more prominent under Vic Hall. What is this abusive beast? It’s a church built by an extremely flawed individual, Ray Jackson Snr, who, at some point, had a grace and calling to facilitate a Scriptural restorationist word,Continue reading “What is MCF/BCF, in essence?”

Vic Hall’s ‘Guru Headship’ . . revisited
Well, today, Nov 18th 2019, the MCF(Melbourne Christian Fellowship)/BCF daily ‘devotion’ is on . . you guessed it, guru headship!

The timeline of MCF’s destruction of my life (Part IV)
Last time we were up to the Big Bang of 1988, the falling of two top leaders from MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) and the calm between the storms of 1988-1992 where Vic Hall was gradually taking over from Brisbane Christian Fellowship (BCF). Now we enter the phases of 1992-1996 and 1996-2016 where Vic Hall graduallyContinue reading “The timeline of MCF’s destruction of my life (Part IV)”
Charles’ 2nd Vision
In 2012, my Dad, Charles had an unexpected vision of the deception the elders were under. But this week, in October 2019, after I told him about my (this) blog, he had a 2nd relevant vision that night, for the first time since 2012. In his vision this week he saw himself in a stadium,Continue reading “Charles’ 2nd Vision”
The Curse of the Golden Lampstand (Part II)
Following on from part I, where I covered David Falk, today I want to continue discussing what happened to the three primary messengers to MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) of Vic Hall’s insidious cult teachings. Because all three of them mysteriously disappeared: one fell, one had a nervous breakdown and the other got sacked. And allContinue reading “The Curse of the Golden Lampstand (Part II)”
We were gagged for 25 years
At MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), in addition to controlling our personal lives, they gagged our contributions in church and home groups. The prophecies during ‘body ministry time’ were almost without exception related to the ‘present word’ of that month or year. Does God really work like that? And at home group, on a Wednesday night,Continue reading “We were gagged for 25 years”
The cult of MCF: Part II (post-1992)
The pre-1992 period at MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship) and BCF (Brisbane CF) was characterised by a wonderful restorationist word, originated by William Offiler (USA) and tested academically by Jeff Hammond (Melbourne), albeit delivered to us by a less-than fully multiple eldership and a womanizing top dog whom was unmasked in 1988. What happened next wasContinue reading “The cult of MCF: Part II (post-1992)”
The cult of MCF: Part I (pre-1992)
There was always something cultish about MCF. For us plebs inside we rationalized it in two or three ways: (1) about the commitment level: as simply ‘taking a stand’ for Christ, or about the stories of control, shunning or womanizing, (2) we didn’t believe the stories or (3) just accepted that nothing’s perfect. But pre-1992,Continue reading “The cult of MCF: Part I (pre-1992)”
What do I mean about a ‘Satanic-level of inactivity’?
I claim there’s a Satanic-level of inactivity going on at MCF/BCF. What I’m alluding to is the fact that no one there has any plans. Seriously. Yes, they find activities that are kosher. Like endless sport and holidays. But starting a business or stewarding a ministry is like living in a communist country. At ourContinue reading “What do I mean about a ‘Satanic-level of inactivity’?”
How hurtful was it?
Some of you must be thinking how silly this all is. Well, it isn’t. We were taught, at MCF (Melbourne Christian Fellowship), gradually, like lobsters boiling alive, that we had to give up all prerogatives. Anything that could be an idol. Of course we all immediately assumed it was the very thing we loved. SessionContinue reading “How hurtful was it?”
