Would love to see some of these people GROW A PAIR. Sexual abuse of a child, clergy sexual abuse = disqualification from ministry. No restoration, no financial bribes, no minimization, no disinformation campaign, just demand he immediately step down.

I know it’s deeply unsettling to long-held beliefs, but say it with me: Bob Jones perpetrated clergy sexual abuse (including a minor) and had numerous bouts of mental instability. It is not appropriate to rely on his “prophecies” for any orthodox Christian belief foundation.

We need more former leaders to publicly disavow Mike’s “prophetic history.” Something doesn’t have to 💯 fake to be false. Doesn’t require fact checking and chasing down every detail as we have everything we need to know that it’s unnecessary and harmful & manipulative.

Mike doesn’t live in reality. The PH is the bizarre world he lives in & he tried to bring a whole generation into it w/him. I’m so disappointed we aren’t hearing more from former/current leaders in the movement ab this. You taught us this - signed & approved it as the foundation!

This has made me furious since November. The ELT knew what was up, and they knew the AG wouldn’t throw these women under the bus so they weaponized the lack of clarity as defense and Mike further exacerbated it by provided them statements to post.

@ZionConsultTeam @adamnarciso @iwonabednarzpl When Stuart said the fearless 5 on the AG list were found "not to be credible" victims, he purposefully trapped the AG. He knew the AG had integrity, & they wouldn't out the victims' names and stories to defend themselves. He used their integrity against them, and it was evil.

@reachjulieroys @ihopkc @bozlawpa This feels like a future case study on the absolutely worst way to handle a situation like this by their current leadership. While heartbreaking, I hope it serves as a cautionary tale for other ministries & churches.

Do any seminaries or pastoral training programs or pastors/leader networks require training on clergy sexual abuse? I ask as I get an email about my ANNUAL anti-sexual harassment training with work.

I would like to see the AG champion a crowdfunded independent investigation to release a report to the public that is not so absolutely abysmal. I think that’s the best next-step for victim advocacy and justice in this situation. #mikebickle #ihopkc

@blaiseforet Forerunner Clock Institute. In retrospect, you can see so clearly Mike's dysfunctional leadership style of surrounding himself with yes-men, not having humility or listening to wise counsel so clearly demonstrated even in parody.

Specifically being told to keep a secret. Told to pray WITH MIKE and make a “vow BEFORE GOD” to never tell anyone else about a situation that involving their mistreatment, wrongdoing or abuse. That is some crazy messed up abusive behavior and the moment I hear that, I knew…

Mike Bickle once asked someone very dear to me to “make a vow before God to not tell anyone ever about” a complicated situation. One does not break out of that degree of control & manipulation easily. 5

But emotional processing is messy with wild pendulum swings from aggression, sarcasm, mocking, and anger to brokenhearted, despondent, defensive, avoidance, and total denial. It is especially hard for a community that has been primed to keep secrets. 4

💯 your ministry / organization/ church does not need a “pet vision” from dreams / prophecy / supernatural signs. Hoping Allen & Sam also come to recognize this as they start the journey to evaluate the “prophetic history” (and hopefully throw it all out the window).

Years later, I would hear a new phrase in my heart: “Jesus didn’t tone-police anyone.” He didn’t say, “Thank you for this alabaster box but we need to address appropriate time and place..” He did not correct the grief outburst of Lazarus’ family at his absence... 8
