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
This apology & the weepy Phil Dooley explanations highlight exactly how broken (con’t) eternitynews.com.au/australia/hill…
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)

The TRUTH behind new Discovery+ doc press.discoveryplus.com/shows/hillsong… & Hillsong's denouncement of it. Brian previously rambled about it & now Phil Dooley (Brian’s current replacement who is the Global Pastor voice of Hillsong) has instructed his flock from the altar of Jesus to:
2/26 1) Pay no attn 2) producers are evil enemies set on our destruction 3) it's not relevant b/c out of our $150M yr revenue we donate an undefined small sum to a few non-Great Commission charities 4) give us more cash over your 10% 5) We need the add'l cash to build a private

1/17 As we wait to see what, if anything, the SBC will do tomorrow, now wd be a good time to see how close the SBC came to fixing this problem back in 2008 & how it went so wrong.
If you haven't read the 12 point solution to addressing sex abuse which was submitted for the 2008
2/17 SBC mtg, now wd be a good time to look it over. It's an amazing effort. These 12 pts could have spared countless kids from being abused, while providing healing & support to victims. Of course it is followed 12 excuses why this will never take place sbc.net/wp-content/upl…

1/11 For those unsure of how important these SBC changes are which incl a database of SBC Pastor Sexual Predators, please consider @juleswoodson11’s predator, Andy Savage. Andy was a hot up & coming SBC superstar when his predatory past caught up with him. nytimes.com/video/opinion/…
2/11 Instead of apologizing directly to Jules, after receiving a standing ovation from his flock, Andy went on a national radio show where he proceeded to lie about what happened. Andy was a nat'l purity culture guest speaker at time of assault. Andy told watchkeep.org/2018/01/andy-s…

@raeljames@juleswoodson11@ThigpenTiffany@ChristaBrown777 1/* Ronnie Floyd is also the #1 exporter of financial abuse w/in the SBC. For years he subjected his flock to Robert Morris’ spiritual extortion teachings, The Blessed Life. He gave copies of TBL out for free chiding his flock to adhere to this false teaching. Floyd calls Morris’

No. It’s another Hillsong CHURCH story

@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

1/7 Listening to @ccsouthbay Ps Jeff Gill’s sermon. He opens by saying how he wants to bring an encouraging message b/c these are discouraging times & many are currently discouraged. The title is “Turning Our Trials Into Triumphs”
Like other financially motivated pastors, Gill
2/7 seems only concerned about immediate issues affecting HIM. It’s a Trial 2 not pass offering plates so they r ramping up online apps. Gill doesn’t think abusive wolves who ravage their own sheep & staff shd be fired so he’s giving James MacDonald a new platform to Triumph from

@sko5411@Blondiegirl29@LifeTodayTV@GatewayPeople 1/* Inprov wants no1 to know who they are. That’s why THEY pick their clients. For Televangelists it’s like getting “made” in the Mafia to have Inprov choose u. They have extremely limited signage in a plain white bldg next to an unmarked GW office. 2 miles south is Benny Hinn’s
@sko5411@Blondiegirl29@LifeTodayTV@GatewayPeople 2/* unmarked bldg on William D Tate. His op sits behind Anthony Kennedy’s law offices.

@Blondiegirl29 1/* Any org partnering w/ Inprov is all about using the name of Christ to squeeze $ from very vulnerable X-tians. $5.5 BILLION takes lotta psi pressure. That’s why WITW shd not be rebooted. Inprov is the most manipulative shake-down consulting group you’ve probably never heard

@Ryan5150Mahoney@ex_harvest 1/*. The Devil indeed. This is who @lswice the man leading this reorg is. Please read this before deciding if THIS is the direction u want to see ur church go, bc this is where they’re headed. Swicegood is the king of secrecy, concealment, coverups & loads of personal enrichment.
@Ryan5150Mahoney@ex_harvest@LSwice The Devil indeed Ryan. @LSwice is known as the hitman of bad publicity. He posed for this Gateway staff photo looking like James Bond - silencing victims - which is his specialty. Swicegood runs all of Media at Gateway. He also heads up GW’s crisis mgmnt team which involves

2/* That was 15 mos ago! James told Elders those long hard hrs of vacay gave him deeper levels of forgiveness (wth?) & he’s gleaned enuf lessons to get back in pulpit. Plus James “fully relieved of burden of church mgmt”. In the end, nothing really changes harvestbiblechapel.org/2017/11/09/eld…
