"Hypocrisy and evil doctrines: Yes, I believe that it is not how weird the beliefs of TFI are what marks them. In my book, they are hypocrites and their doctrines are evil because they call themselves Christians and lie and hide their true doctrines. Also, their doctrines are still evil because they have not denounce Berg's teachings. All they have said is that his writings are not prevalent any more."

Yes, here it is imperative to use terms that makes it possible to come back from.
But IMO plenty of weird and occult doctrines and practises surfaced *since* Berg died. There are two options here, either it is by sheer ignorance or it is wilfully done. With dumbed down followers – i.e. in this case taken off their bible-based foundation – just about anything can be presented and it will be believed as God’s highest will, namely as they now have their jesus speaking supporting their every move. To go against that would be heresy. This happened again and again throughout TF history and history in general.
