What is the biblical basis for a pastor to have a net worth in the millions of $, due to profiting from peddling the “gospel”, but worse, on the backs of church members’ tithes, especially when members are in financial hardship? #RobertMorris #GatewayChurch #ihopkc #Bethel

I’m an accountant. For #ihopkc to be running a net loss of $500K/mo for 6 mo means they burned $3m in cash reserves in excess of revenue since Oct. They must have multiple millions still in reserve b/c they don’t have a closing date nailed down. Hmm, I’m skeptical. #mikebickle

1/17🧵In a previous post I wrote generally about how my father, Bob Hartley, who was a major prophetic voice for churches like #IHOP , #Bethel (also #YWAM and harvest rock church), is a complete fraud. In this thread I will begin to share some specifics.

Who’s Mike’s savior? Himself or Jesus? Sounds like he’s his own savior if he had to push delete every time. Is that all the gospel is? Push delete? What an affront to the Cross of Christ. #ihopkc #mikebickle #falsegospel

1/Reflecting on my theological journey, the notion of 'pressing delete' from my IHOP days resonates. But now I see its danger: hidden sin grows. Forgiveness is free, but reconciliation requires community.

@jessetaitt I’m so troubled. I’m all out of sorts that we didn’t see it. How did we miss it? How did we not discern it.

Silence was all it took for the Holocaust to happen. Silence is all it takes for clergy s*x abuse to continue to happen. I will not be silent. #ihopkc #MikeBickle #churchtoo #sbctoo

2/4 Not any more. These JDs and Tammy Woods have given me courage. Y’all truly are my heroes. I will use my voice to speak truth and call out injustice. What if Luther had kept silent in the face of heresy and didn’t nail his 95 Theses to the door of the Church at Wittenberg? /2

@THESTABLEMEN I’ll say it before & I’ll say it again. I’m an accountant & happy to volunteer my time/expertise here to look into this. Already spent a good bit of time several wks ago looking at real estate deeds, 990s, assignments, mortgages, etc. but without #ihopkc opening the books /1

Many of us served under your ministries for years. Where are your voices as #ihopkc melts down? There’s now an impasse between the new leadership and the AG. The world is watching, people are hurting, and your silence is deafening. /2

Can we all at least agree on this please? Who can possibly object to pausing the prayer movement while we focus on protecting children from exploitation, grooming, & molestation? I think the ���prayer movement” can be shelved. There are bigger fish to fry. #ihopkc #MikeBickle

@seanfeucht Please pause the prayer movement messaging and respond to the actual matter at hand which is the criminal sexual exploitation and molestation of an underaged, minor child, by Mike Bickle.

3/4 Would we have had reformation? Probably not. Toxic church leaders want us to be silent so they can keep their control, power, money, & kingdoms. But a sea of people are waking up. Some of us have been awake for awhile, others are just seeing the light. More will soon see it.

Here are the speakers & sponsors of the upcoming #GatewayChurch conference who are contributing to the machine that has s*xually abused, settled lawsuits, & covered up. It's time for these speakers & sponsors to withdraw!

@jburn There is so much conflation of slander w/accountability. This is one of the primary reasons that abuse continues to be perpetrated in churches. Slander is speaking misrepresentation or rumors about a person. But truth spoken about a person is not slander, it's accountability.

"The delusional martyr" #mikebickle #ihopkc I'm reading this article and wondering if some men are exploiting the return of Christ for their own personal 'mothership delusions'...'chariots'...or whatever 🤔 "Bernstein said she considers a delusional cult leader the most

the forest for the trees. You can love Mike Bickle & still be on the right side of this & stand w/victims. What is the answer Kris? Stay silent? I love you Kris & always will but I plead w/u to reconsider your stance. This is from somebody who deeply respects you and loves you /3

@starcazm Does God always speak in King James English? And did anybody count how many times did he say “saith the Lordah”?

This makes me cringe. We millennials (myself included) are proud to tell people we have therapists. I have a therapist and see him regularly. No shame. #ihopkc #mikebickle #churchtoo #ihopkctoo

@AaronBack22 @bennettisaac @ihopkc This is spiritual abuse, & I’m sorry they did this to you. It’s a MIS-use of their spiritual authority that harmed you by calling into question your own relationship with Jesus & shaming to any who believes or acts differently than they prescribe. It’s very harmful & wrong. /1

@ManBitesDog6 My point is in think they’re not telling the full financial story. I think they have significant cash reserves still, a cash runway. Otherwise they would’ve set a formal closure date much sooner rather than leaving it open ended.
