@stuartgreaves 3 / And armchair PR guy @EricVolz and #ihopkc continue making their public narrative all about this draft document to obfuscate what MB has done and #ihopkc ’s potential culpability. Trying to get us to miss the forest for the trees won’t work. We live in the real world.

 To be clear, I believe @EricVolz wised up to this after 1-2 weeks on the job. We saw him repost prayer room videos, capitalize on photo ops w @Joel7Richardson , nix the Panem-style videos, appear more conciliatory But the game has changed in last 3-4 days

 In recent days we’re not getting “sleek” Eric or “trustworthy” Eric
 we’re getting “frantic” Eric We’ve seen a reversion to the highly off putting tone of Eric’s initial weeks but with a greater intensity than ever (+ many slip ups). The strangest part?

@EricVolz 5 / If that’s the case, how did this become exclusively about “abuse”? Duh. Abuse presents potential legal liability to MB & #ihopkc . Nothing else does. #ihopkc ’s spurning of the moral for the legal also explains why there’s still been no public apology to any alleged victim

 Much of this aggressive, frantic energy is aimed at defending @mikebickle from the allegations. Didn’t #ihopkc permanently separate from MB in Dec, and legally separate from him years ago? The rest is aimed at discrediting the AG - no it’s beyond that

1/ Updated thoughts on #IHOPKC PR situation and where this goes next
 In their recent efforts to remedy a horrifically inept initial public response to the clergy sexual abuse allegations against #MikeBickle , #IHOP has made things *FAR worse* for themselves. Let me explain..

1 / #mikebickle PR debacle A few days ago Stuart Greaves allegedly told several @ihopkc worship leaders that MB had confessed to something and would soon be making a confession This “something” was made to seem like not that big a deal Then a Jane Doe went public

 Nobody who’s been close to #ihopkc for long knew of @EricVolz when this started. Despite this, he initially projected “I’m sleek” vs. “I’m trustworthy” Meanwhile, those in AG are known & starting from a place of trust for most. The image they project aligns

2 / As much as it pains me to say, there will never be a joint investigation. The most likely path is more JD’s sharing stories in the press + litigation. This will hover over #ihopkc like a cloud for years, slowly smothering this ministry. That’s tragic & was avoidable.

Another reminder that #ihopkc has publicly stated Mike Bickle is: -“Manipulative” - “Predatory” - “Abusive” - “Sick” As more stories about his abuses come out, please keep this in mind when you see people defending him & attacking the brave survivors who speak up.

@EricVolz @ihopkc Stuart’s final public words were that his conscience was clean
 How do we square that with his resignation? Did his conscience just malfunction? Did he resign in protest over the decision to cut ties w/ MB because he believes Mike is an apostle? Does he need to confess

Appreciate the sentiment but it’s a bit late to start waking up. #ihopkc played you, hard. Plus didn’t you hear? Gen. Fuller (ret.) doesn’t know you. He alone can resolve this “demonic” attack. And #ihopkc doesn’t want outside help. @DrMichaelLBrown

@ihopkc “Given our public sins, we admit it’s odd for us to repent off screen. But public repentance could have legal ramifications. We are following our attorneys’ leadership over our lives. This is the only way to give Jesus what he *really wants* above public repentance, 24/7 prayer.”
