“The holy spirit is more concerned about divisive people than about molestation.”
"Elizabeth, IHOPU will never have a policy against hiring someone with sexual predation or offense in their background. Never.”
"Forerunner Church leaders insisted she wait for the “long ark of mercy” that would come. “Mike would say ‘things look different in three months, three weeks, three years’.”
Abuse of mercy to control actions, indeed! I am seeing now that this type of cultish control is widespread in churches. We have experienced in several times. How well I relate to the fear of saying the wrong thing to the wrong person! I have seen how quickly elders forgive abusers on the basis of a conversation or two, and require instant and full restoration by the victims, only to have the offens repeated. (The dog returns to its vomit.)
I am so grateful that you are revealing what had been hidden. This is a clarion call of warning to all who fancy themselves shepherds of the followers of Jesus Christ, and it is a healing balm to those of us who for years were misled by them.
Wow, wow, wow!
