@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 1/* I’ve analyzed abuse in Big Eva for over a decade. While it’s nice to believe that merely exposing Ravi wd be enough to stop him, RZIM already pays a LOT for a reputation mgmt firm & PR firm. As w/ most abusers w/ access to ~$40M tax free, Ravi wd just spend away on PR efforts

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 2/* The only authority these abusers yield to is the concrete authority of the COURTS. LAT did the best thing possible by having an attorney send the demand letter. She hit Ravi where he dreaded most - his wallet. Then she spilled many details very quickly so the bulk of Ravi’s

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 3/* abuse wd be made public. Her threat of an impending lawsuit meant more discovery.

And now ppl want to slag her for settling? Folks, Ravi valued his $ over everything includng his reputation. He proved that when he filed a countersuit which was promptly covered by the press

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 4/* Idk who pressured him to settle, but I’m guessing it was his Board. LAT taught him a lesson that he soon wdnt forget. Sexually abuse those you minister to & it will co$t you!

LAT did the RIGHT thing even when she knew it wd open her up to criticism at the time & apparently

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 5/* still to this day. She DID reveal enough about the abuse to shame Ravi & warn other women. Then she did the RIGHT thing again, & took his precious moooney from Mr Krabbs.

Anyone who cannot see this, either doesn’t understand these greedy, power monger abusers, or they are

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 6/* willfully refusing to see that Lori Anne is a HERO who acted courageously at great personal expense to herself, her marriage & her kids.

She did exactly what I hope every Big Eva victim would do, if they really want to put a dent into this clerical sexual abuse epidemic.

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 7/* I salute Lori Anne & Brad Thompson. They had to give up their home & business & move their kids across the country 2escape persecution. Enuf w/ these false financial windfall innuendos. She did the right thing. She’s still sticking her neck out 2 con’t doing the right thing

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 8/* Lori Anne, those who know and understand the highly corrupt side of this unregulated industry KNOW you did the right thing. Please try to ignore & forgive the rest.

@reachjulieroys @RaviZacharias @LoriAnneThomps2 9/* One final note. If LAT had kept the details of her abuse & especially the suicide email quiet, she wdv likely tripled (or more) her settlement. Extortionists are selfish & wd do that. But her primary concern was for other potential victims & donors. You can’t ignore that fact
