@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
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

1) For those interested in the truth about Robert Morris, I urge you to watch this video. Stephen LeBlanc has known RM for decades & worked with him at both Shady Grove & Gateway. He lays out the facts about what happened & what still needs to happen.
2) Trigger warning: it’s not that graphic but there r sickening descriptions about the churches covering this up
Major points: Robert falsely labelled Cindy as a manipulative, flirtatious seductress with the Jezebel Spirit who seduced Robert as she found him irresistible & good
3) looking & was drawn to his “anointing”. RM’s mantra was he “stumbled” & was the victim. She was like a Venus Fly Trap. He wanted to stop but Cindy threatened him that unless he continued to rape her, she’d tell. She also blackmailed him for $2M. Like 12 yr olds are wont to do.
27/* This nonsense of the Elders telling GW staff to direct congregants to speak to their campus pastors for more details is despicable and guarantees more coverup. Most of the campuses have or have had pastors embroiled in their own hushed up scandals. Of course, they’ll toe
28/* the company line for cash. Every time GW has covered up pastoral sex abuse btw, that results in the pastor moving on to a new church to prey upon a new unsuspecting flock. The shepherds are the wolves. How many will resign themselves in disgust? Likely Zippo.
29/* I pray other victims of abuse at GW will come fwd and contact @bozlaw. I also hope that the millions paid out come straight out of Robert’s unnecessary and extravagant compensation & perks - though it won’t. Robert’s son James is now the top senior pastor in charge of GW.
17/* RM likely already had Elders put together a very large Retirement Fund paid for with tithes, as he prepared to retire. He needs to keep up his many homes, including his $3.5M home in Colleyville, one of the richest cities in Texas. The TBN Crouches, Daystar’s Joni Lamb &
18/* James Robison have 7-fig mansions just blocks away from Robert. Every member of his family has been put on the payroll at some point. Incl the retirement, speaking fees, salary, bonus, parsonage allowance, jet travel expenses, over the years the Morris family has enriched
19/* themselves ~ $50M in tithes & some insiders put it closer to $100M. GW Elders are 100% responsible for voting for this as well.
Note that the Elders are only looking into the one Cindy incident. They refuse to open this up to other victims. This is all for show as the
1/* Lengthy post on @PsRobertMorris resignation. Only for those seeking add’l details not covered elsewhere yet. I encourage ALL current or former Gatewayers to share their experiences so Christians can be better informed. @BozT @wartwatch
More lies & misdirection. In addition
2/* to GW Elder/GW CEO Tom Lane knowing the specifics of Cindy’s age & abuse, Olen Griffing, head pastor of Shady Grove Church was an Apostolic Elder (highest ranking of elders who helped found GW) at @GatewayPeople until a few years ago.
3/* Olen was the Head Pastor Robert worked for in the 80-90’s who oversaw this sham “restoration”. Olen knew all of the specifics. To say none of the Elders knew what Robert had really done is a lie. Olen was also a retired Texas State Trooper who BROKE THE LAW by not reporting
Brian Houston emailed an apology out to all of his global congregants, which means Hillsong HQ approved this. It’s published by Eternity News which has ties to Hillsong
the Hillsong system is. Hillsong is STILL concealing what Brian has done, white-washing w/ half truths & ignoring why immediate termination was unequivocally necessary. Do we need to know all of it? Probably not. I doubt Bobbie or the Elders know all of it. But at least 3-4(cont)
of the major acts, most of which are torts (& in Texas are also crimes), shd be revealed. Brian lacks the degree of remorse required for stuff this huge. His main concern? He’s “determined his ‘mistakes’ will not define (him)”How could they when he & Hillsong are CONCEALING them?
