@DrMichaelLBrown Simple answer here, Trump has a cult following and he is almost god-like in the hearts of many Christians though they’d never say it out loud.
JUST IN: The moment a man was tackled by brave Chiefs fans after the shooting at Union Station in Kansas City.
The fans could be seen heroically tackling the suspect as he ran away.
Shortly after the man was tackled, police swarmed the area where they found a gun.
A sniper has taken position on top of a building. It is currently unknown if a threat still exists or if this is simply precautionary.
One person is reportedly dead and about 10 others injured.
@hcastanza @LucaBrasi_@mikebickle So just to understand you correctly, even if young impressionable women in an environment where you don’t question spiritual leaders, believed what a leader told them as he groomed them over months and years…the women would be stupid and not the groomer? Bro, no
@hcastanza @LucaBrasi_@mikebickle There’s a least several examples of MB telling women his wife will die and he will marry them. It was a clear clergy abuse grooming tactic. Also, you can be guilty of spiritual and clergy abuse by nature of the power dynamic and not have committed a crime.
@LucaBrasi_ I mean there are a handful of women 1st hand reporting MB told them his wife would die and they would marry him…then you have 2nd hand sources saying they heard the same thing from these few other women. Sounds like info worth passing along to the ELT in case they were victims…
@DaneMaller11495 It is 100% stemmed from cult-like influences of Mike and other ELT over the years. Writing off ‘outside voices’ calling for accountability as ‘just bitter’ ‘not helpful’ ‘against us’ ‘barking dogs’ ‘black horse’ is a tactic that has been used many time to avoid real change.
@Joannathelee@tom_pureheart@brent_steeno You seem to miss the part where 7 mountains spent two hours on the phone with Mike urging him to repent and come forward, he didn’t. And you seem to miss that much of the info was found true enough to fire MB permanently and launch an internal investigation led by the board. 🧐
@Joannathelee@tom_pureheart Your examples have no biblical or moral merit in terms of cases of abuse. Your primary purpose seems to distract from the very real clearly abuse happening, and prevent more from being uncovered….
@LucaBrasi_ 2/ I certainly don’t have all the answers and willing to be wrong but I think it was more just a compilation of everything found out while looking into MB and was supposed to only be a springboard for the ELT to do an investigation.
@LucaBrasi_ 1/ The way I understand it is some of these women were included based off 1st and accounts of things they were heard saying or inappropriate boundaries witnessed…the report just laid out these 2nd hand testimonies verses listing them as a victim.
@Joannathelee@brent_steeno@tom_pureheart You haven’t spent more time criticizing the victims/advocates handling of their abuse than you have actually helping their stories to be told and atoned for? More time defending the ELTs stonewalling than advocating for truth?
@bennettisaac With all due respect, it hasn’t ’rapidly muddled’ the current situations it has moved the needle. If Mike and ELT had it their way this would still be under a rug in a back room somewhere much easier to deny.
@bennettisaac Is this why IHOPKC leadership has refused to implement many healthy pastoral/HR systems and processes? Because the ask has been made at least 3 very public times previously…but these very wide requests came ‘externally.’
@Joannathelee@brent_steeno@tom_pureheart Joanna, do you have financial ramifications tied to IHOPKC success?
Also, care to apologize for all your harmful Mike defending, victim/advocate dismissing and blaming instead of just shifting focus to the next argument?
@Joannathelee@tom_pureheart Joanna, ‘outsiders’ many of who have given the prime of their youth to this organization, wouldn’t have to speak out and ask for action if there weren’t a serious need in the first place.
If up to MB and IHOPKC’s ELT this would still be hidden under a rug in a back room.
