Tonight the executive summary of the independent investigation of Mike Bickle and IHOPKC was released and every bit of it is horrific.

Mike Bickle is a sexual predator and IHOPkc is a "sanctuary of sexual predators".

An initial🧵on some of the details (more to come later): 224 individuals came forward to report misconduct at IHOPkc and 32 victims of sexual abuse/sexual misconduct were identified.

17 victims experienced "sexually abusive conduct, including sexual abuse, r*pe, clergy abuse, and spiritual abuse, perpetrated by Bickle" himself.

Day 13 of Exposing Abusers and Grifters in Pentecostal History

🧵1/9 on Oral Roberts: the "prosperity gospel" televangelist who enforced discriminatory policies at his university, and partnered with a con-artist to create predatory fundraising campaigns. 2/9 Oral Roberts was a prominent televangelist and faith healer, known for founding Oral Roberts University and for popularizing the "prosperity gospel", a doctrine promising financial rewards in exchange for faith and donations. Over his lifetime, Roberts raised hundreds of millions of dollars, consistently promoting the idea that "seed" donations to his ministry would lead to supernatural financial blessings.

Like other prosperity gospel evangelists, Robert used the money he raised from these donations to fund a rather lavish lifestyle, owning several million dollar homes, private planes, and multiple Mercedes-Benzes.

Day 2 of Exposing Abusers and Grifters who Shaped the Pentecostal Church

1/11🧵on Smith Wigglesworth, a violent faith healer who would "punch sickness" out of people, his bullying ministry tactics, and his dismissal from the PMU for "shocking and sad" sexual allegations. 2. Smith Wigglesworth, who is labeled as one of "God's Generals", was a widely lauded faith healer in the early Pentecostal church.

He is commonly referred to as "the Apostle of Faith" and is considered by many to be a major pioneer of Pentecostalism.

You cannot tell the history of Pentecostalism without telling a story of abusers, racists and con-artists.

Don’t believe me? Starting tomorrow, everyday I will post the story of a major abuser/con-artist that shaped the history of Pentecostalism until I run out of names.

Day 1: Charles fox Parham

I alluded to this in a previous posts, but to make it explicitly clear: My father is not just a grifter but a predator. He is actively using the authority he has garnered as a “prophet” to sexually prey on women.

Bethel leadership knows about this but is doing nothing! Here is a post @MichelleSeidle1 made about my father back at the beginning of the year:

1/17🧵In a previous post I wrote generally about how my father, Bob Hartley, who was a major prophetic voice for churches like #IHOP, #Bethel (also #YWAM and harvest rock church), is a complete fraud.

In this thread I will begin to share some specifics. 2. I grew up adoring my dad. He had hit bitter flaws, but he was a wonderful storyteller who had lived an unbelievable life.

So in my early 20s I decided to write a book about him. "I Hope it's not Hereditary" a tongue in cheek retelling of stories from my dad's childhood.

1/🧵I have never known how to address this publicly, but it has become clear that is time for me to speak up

My dad, Bob Hartley, who has been an influential prophetic figure in both #IHOPKC and #Bethel church is a complete fraud. His prophetic ministry has always been a con. 2/ For decades his process has been the same. He gets specific information about people, either through online searches, church directories, or most commonly, through conversations with pastors of local churches, and then he pretends as if he is diving this info.
