@ChandiHeenan @bn_lawson Chandi… It’s beyond time for you to pipe down! I’ve watched you pull this sanctimonious, narcissistic crap about IHOP & Mike Bickle
… and now you have the audacity to do it w/ an org and person you know nothing about.
The wheels of justice can seem to turn slowly; esp. when activity is occurring out of public view...but their continues to be an active law enforcement investigation surrounding "The Farm" (abuse, forced labor, prophetic manipulation & cult-like control).
It’s pretty much daily now; a new person reaching out to me with grave concerns about “the farm”, in Holden, Missouri.
Is it a dangerous end-times prepping #cult? Several former members tell me they believe it is.
What I do know for sure? There are at least 3 different alleged victims of grooming and SA, and 2 different abusers. And Johnson County Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating.
#HarvestHomeMissouri did not respond to my requests for comment; instead released a statement via FB calling the claims “attacks” and suggesting they are all lies. 🧐
@seanfeucht Oh Sean! You just keep digging in deeper when what you need to do is apologize for your callousness.
The Lord is never in a hurry regarding our pain & sorrow!
Instead, with richness of love and patience, draws near to those whose hearts are shattered & spirits are crushed.
@AlyssaDegraff@realprophetguy oh gosh...our church put on a huge performance to this and Bullfrogs and Butterfly's. Everybody was kind of hippy dippy in our congregation, so it was pretty laid-back, and still a great memory for me. I used to sing the Patience song to my kids - lol!
@JenniferVerdery 2/2: some worship leaders, including ME, were hounded & stalked regularly by people convinced they were going to marry them. We knew of two of those individuals, and their fantasies were at an obsessive level, so I imagine any celibacy message looked all the more enticing.
@JenniferVerdery 1/2: I thought the idea was whack-a-doo, but friends who knew her better said it was very much her idea; she was someone who seemed to know her own mind.
I also remember being told a couple women took a vow of celibacy to push back on the constant pursuit. Sounds bizarre, but
@JenniferVerdery The consecrated virgin choice was very influenced by the Catholic (E. Orthodox) mystics being venerated at IHOP at the time, but there has been a practice of christian monasticism for women in the Lutheran, Shaker & Anglican traditions.
@JenniferVerdery 1/2: you wrote in 1 post that you prefer her name not be shared, so I won't, but I remember this from when we were at IHOP. She was a very committed, "all-in" person. She even changed her name and chose something that is a catholic symbol for Christ's passion, and God's love
@ScottMColeman@SRClaridgeWrite I read another post by the person who wrote this...she indicated that her dad never stopped warning people away from IHOP....that the victim (not a minor at the time) begged him not to say anything. He still went to MB and confronted it.
@zhuangcorp@Calebculver@moon_theo It was super clear I from the content and responses w/in the thread.
Gary took to post down within short order, others saw it and reference it.
@zhuangcorp@isierranichole When you are groomed by an authority figure; And then manipulated to keep that abuse quiet; it becomes THE whole narrative one frames and lives their life out of.
@ZionConsultTeam @LauraSlezinger Hear me please; the “odd feeling” was not about equal time in the interview ; rather I kept thinking; most of these JD’s are women, and here we have Elizabeth & Jennifer, both brilliant women…
and yet again, we are hearing mainly from men. (So typical of my decade at IHOP.)
@ZionConsultTeam @LauraSlezinger I appreciate this!…at the same time; many women watching those AG videos wondered why the interview w/ you & Jenifer was so very short in length in comparison to the two of the men. It felt odd considering the issues at hand.
