A Thread: John MacArthur & Sexual Abuse

John MacArthur has been doubling down lately regarding a woman's place in the church. Why now? Bc he sees #metoo #churchtoo coming for his ministries. If women can't speak, then women can't speak up about the sex abuse he's hidden. 1 of 11
John MacArthur's seminary/university is on accreditation probation. The first report by the accreditation agency cited administration was ignorant regarding Clery Act and VAWA, both of which protect victims of sexual crimes. 2 of 11
In fact, John MacArthur's Master's University & Seminary has been fined by the US Dept of Education for noncompliance with the Clery Act, which protects victims of sexual crimes. 3 of 11

The latest report by the accreditation agency states there was a notable volume of reports on sexual assault matters submitted to them. As a result, Master's only JUST NOW trains staff how to handle sexual assault (Excerpt pgs 19-20) 4 of 11

Full report: drive.google.com/file/d/1C4ZvKW…
As a result of being fined, John MacArthur's Master's University changed their student handbook to be compliant w/ Clery Act, but they didn't change their student EMPLOYEE handbook: 5 of 11
With so much documented incompetence by both the accreditation agency & the federal US Dept of Education on how John MacArthur's Master's University & Seminary handles sexual assault, is Jane's rape cover up any surprise? 6 of 11

How about John MacArthur's Master's University & Seminary bungling the simple removal of a predatory graduate from their list of TMS pastored churches? 7 of 11

Oh wait, this wasn't an isolated incident. John MacArthur's Master's University & Seminary also mishandled this report of a predatory faculty member. 8 of 11

Jane 2: marcipreheim.com/2017/11/26/do-…
On June 12, 2019, a student employee (he was a Resident Assistant, living in the dorms with access to the other students) was arrested at Master's for taking illegal upskirt photos on campus. No official word from Master's. Dead silence as usual. 9 of 11

How about how John MacArthur excommunicated the wife of a now-convicted pedophile that taught at MacArthur's now-defunct elementary/Jr high school? 10 of 11

Just how many reports from different sources are needed to raise eyebrows at the bare minimum? That's a lot of smoke for no fire, and John MacArthur knows it. No wonder he is preaching for women to be silent. He knows #TimesUp. 11 of 11

#MeToo #churchtoo
The Student EMPLOYEE was a Resident Assistant, meaning he LIVED in the dorms with plenty of opportunity to take illegal pictures for sexual gratification. Why no PSA from @mastersuniv administration? Why no warning there was an alleged predator living among the students? (2/10)
@mastersuniv @MastersSeminary is already on accreditation probation. The accrediting agency cited a negligent lack of knowledge of Clery Act and Violence Against Women Act by administration. (3/10)

In light of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide here's a thread on exposed sex offenders and suicide. #metoo #churchtoo #CSA
When sex offenders are exposed and are being held responsible for their criminal actions some are at risk of committing suicide. Expert Anna C. Salter notes this in her books "Predators, Pedophiles, Rapists, & Other Sex Offenders" and "Transforming Trauma"
@Nicole_Bromley experienced this when her abusive stepfather committed suicide after she disclosed his abuse.

When you are the first person to ever tell an abuse victim you believe them, and you see their reaction to finally being told they are believed; the weight of the call to “believe women” takes on new meaning and an infinitely greater sense of urgency. #metoo #churchtoo
And I say this as a black man. Fully aware that there are a multitude of men who are in prison and have been to prison because of false accusations. I fully recognize that o could go to prison cuz of my ethnicity based on a false charge. Stil, I generally believe women.
“But here’s the thing, despite the history of false sex crime claims against black men by white women, I still have no problem believing women when they tell me they’ve been sexually assaulted...”

“Get over it; it was a long time ago.”

I’ve been told this, including by a man who raped me.

Do you understand that an unwanted and unexpected touch from a principal during a meeting to advocate for my daughter can make me jump, yelp, cuss, because my body can’t get over it?
“What could have happened 20 years ago that would still matter today.”

I’ve been told this, including by a man who trafficked me 20+ years ago.

Do you know trauma memories are stored differently, coming to life in nightmares in which it feels like it’s happening today?
“Why didn’t you tell anyone?”

I’ve been told this, delivered not as a question but as a statement about my credibility.

Do you know all the ways I tried to tell with fresh cuts on my arms & meals revisited in the toilet & extreme overachievement to earn something like worth?

From 2015–before #metoo #churchtoo #silenceisnotspiritual. #THIS is most white-male-centered narcissistic drivel I have ever read in my entire life. @JohnPiper claims scripture is his authority then offers no exegesis of any text. “Principles” instead. 1/ desiringgod.org/interviews/sho…
Teaching “principles” rather than teaching excellent exegesis is a narcissistic tactic of control. ANYONE can claim the scripture says ANYTHING when they leave the scripture out. Brings followers into close relationship w/ leader, but leaves them not knowing Jesus (The Word). 2/
What .@JohnPiper did here was unbelievably manipulative. Demonstrated #ZERO submissiveness to scripture. Has nerve to guilt/shame women into “submission to scripture” then offers #NONE. Only offers his own “principles,” which scripture would drop-kick. 3/

This week: 1 James Dobson encouraged Christians to fast & pray for the protection a serial sex abuser (Trump). 2 When a mega-church pastor's criminal sexual assault was exposed, he received a standing ovation from his congregation. 3 One of Roy Moore's victims' house burned down.
All of these stories point to why I'm sadly pessimistic about a #metoo-style cultural shift in evangelical Christianity (and, to an extent, the broader Church). I'm pessimistic because of the deadly combination of patriarchy & (as discussed recently) evangelical exceptionalism...
As I've stated before, evangelical exceptionalism understands "the world" or "the culture" to be filled with darkness & sin, teeming with people who are "lost," and evangelicalism & evangelicals to be the sole bearers of light, the counter-cultural path to salvation...
