The "When did you stop beating your wife?" is a standard example of a loaded question. It has been used for many years. I guess you have never heard that, and I can see why it was confusing. I never meant to suggest that anyone thought Barney was beating his wife, I just used that as a well known example.
The url below will show 465 different websites that use this as an exampe:

I've heard it a million times, so I thought everyone had. I apologize for the confusion my use of this term caused.
As far as the idea that Barney's ministry could be connected to the Family, Mekka brought that up at the top of the thread, to which you immediately replied "Most Certainly".
