Searching for accountability, hoping to find healing. Asking International House of Prayer leadership to take responsibility for the many wounded.

Christianity does not look like praying, singing, and giving money while ignoring the screams, unspeakable suffering, filth, and death of others. Christianity is not calling others "them"—somehow unlike us, not human, and deserving of their suffering.

@realprophetguy So what does he tell the “feminists” who were formerly long-haired recovered from disordered eating , who grew up going to church, would never think of dyed hair or piercings and know full stop THAT did not make them happy or helped them “find a good man” yikes.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.

The Southern Baptist Convention's clergy sex abuse crisis threatened the power of male SBC leaders. So, what did they do?

Did they deal with the crisis and implement accountability & safeguarding measures? No.

They created a new enemy – women pastors.

@AlyssaDegraff @p_billjohnson Help us….I wouldn’t want anyone to know I’m…sorry?

The SBC vote isn’t just about doctrine.

It’s about who holds power,
And who gets to challenge it.

Abuse exposures threaten ALL hierarchal systems, because they show laypeople unmasking authority with a power that transcends governance — the truth.

Keep speaking.

@ericmetaxas @Riley_Gaines_ So a democrat woman who was a school teacher for decades outsold you. How un American of those readers.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Since 2000, over 380 Southern Baptist leaders have been convicted of sex crimes involving more than 700 victims all while SBC leaders covered for abusers and silenced survivors.

But women preaching and pastoring is the real problem? What a joke.

@TylerLeeConway And why are we only seeing their faces?! Off with those shirts boys! show us the muscle! Gonna be a lot of disappointed women at this thing ..if they’re invited.

The heart of the Charismatic/Evangelical abuse crisis is not that leaders abused authority. It's that entire systems trained people to mistake compliance for spiritual maturity and the surrender of conscience for faith.

Bethel Church leaders claim to teach others to hear from God, but it took years of pressure for them to even hear the cries of their own children.

🚨BREAKING: In Chicago, ICE agents were caught on video assaulting a local chaplain for filming, and asking questions, about what was happening on her own street… AFTER the arrest was already made.

In the video, Alley Henny, a Black chaplain, is standing with her back against a parked car while recording.

An ICE agent is already pushing her backward as she simply asks:

��What did he do?”

But here’s what makes this situation even more disturbing…

The man had already been detained… He was already INSIDE the ICE vehicle.

The arrest was over.

That means, there was no active arrest taking place for her to “interfere with.”

Yet, multiple agents surrounded her anyway.

One agent yells, “Get back! We have a warrant for his arrest. Get out of here.”

She responds, “This is my neighborhood.”

The agent’s response?

“I don’t care.”

Then, while she’s already backed against a car, and surrounded by TWO agents… a THIRD agent rushes over, grabs her, and forcefully shoves her down the street while screaming, “GET BACK! I ALREADY TOLD YOU ONCE!”

And just to be clear…

She wasn’t stopping an arrest.
She wasn’t obstructing agents from reaching a suspect.
She wasn’t preventing agents from taking someone into custody.

The suspect was ALREADY IN THE VEHICLE.

So, this entire situation raises serious concerns about excessive force and retaliation against protected speech.

Because once the situation is already controlled, there’s no reason for that level of force against someone who’s just recording and asking questions.

And if that kind of response isn’t checked, and held accountable, it starts to send a very dangerous message…

That recording and questioning government actions can be met with physical violence, and intimidation.

And that’s exactly what the constitution is meant to prevent.

@Tuquoque77 @Kaos_Dreamed @MikeWingerii …no sir. The man CAN decide whether or not to *cause* a pregnancy. That is in fact the pt. Sir.

@Tuquoque77 @Kaos_Dreamed @MikeWingerii Slow clap- actually fast clap. If your fellow men did the same the abortion conversation could have an excuse to villainize women.

[bytheirfruit @_bytheirfruit]

@Tuquoque77 @Kaos_Dreamed @MikeWingerii 2. And you are in the EXTREME minority as a man who thinks that way about sex. Bravo. Please educate your fellow men accordingly.

[bytheirfruit @_bytheirfruit]

@Tuquoque77 @Kaos_Dreamed @MikeWingerii That is correct, but comparing tubal ligation and vasectomy is not really fair, Is it? Higher expense, higher risk for woman. Yes, we can all use protection, but I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say the responsibility of a woman to force her man to use a condom is no easy task

[bytheirfruit @_bytheirfruit]

@Tuquoque77 @Kaos_Dreamed @MikeWingerii So what was your point?
