I am a female that attended BFM for over 15 years. I know that followers there are like followers of any cult-like leader, they can not see any wrong or they rationalize them away. Many woman have lost their jobs there or were disciplined after getting pregnant for married men, Whiles men are 'counseled' & patted on the back. I got attacked for reporting the married security officers who were hitting on the school girls that worked with me there. Myles preached a message to encourage the men, saying that if a married man is looking outside the home for sex then it is the fault of the wife who is not providing what he needs. People were told to stop speaking to me after that & they spread the rumor that I was a lesbian. They constantly told women to stay with abusive husbands until one was killed. The media attention landed on them as this couple was in charge of marriage counseling class. A weird move they make in such circumstances to say that a person especially male (who has money) who has fallen in some open scandal has a 'ministry' through experience in that area to others. The media response was an outright lie when they said they always told women to leave if they are being abused. I know personally a woman who was a friend who was not only being abused but so was her daughter, sexually, they gave the man a job & told her to stay with him.
