Warning the sheep—specifically those @goJourneyChurch & advocating for victims of pastoral & spiritual abuse, thankful to have an employer who supports advocacy
I have to encourage y'all to go read the comments on my latest blog post. When you expose abuse & cover-up in the church, all the flying monkeys come out to defend the pastor & the church, never the victim. https://t.co/gbrPwGJE21
Ask Moroni to square this: “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”
And a little Native American collaborative evidence to what Smith taught would have been really nice.
The wolf is not a part of the church, it is not a member of the body. Nor is the spiritually abusive pastor, the unrepentant church leader, sexually exploitive spiritual guru or anyone in violation of healthy relational norms needing turned over to the devil so that in the last day they can be saved. Many churches aren’t dealing with offenders properly or at all and this is why we speak out.
In turn, the world loves to see us taking care of our own, they learn we love as we sacrifice to protect the vulnerable among us—and the world learns it too can trust us.

What does it say for God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the scriptures, if it is left to the American government to reveal to humanity that we are not alone in the universe and who is God, or what is God, really?
🚨 Uncle Jon Stewart thinks President Trump's release of the UFO files will shock the country more than 9/11
"The ontological shock that is going to happen to America and the world when we start seeing high resolution video of non human intelligence craft and beings is going to cause a shock to our entire system much to the like of 9/11."

Multiple religious leaders are reporting meetings with government officials regarding preparing their congregations for UFO Disclosure and upcoming big changes
"“There were a large number of pastors that had been invited to go to a certain state to hear some men in the United States government to hear concerns they had…
There’s going to be a release concerning aliens and unidentified flying object space craft."
"We had a sitting Congressman called into that meeting for pastors and he said 'are the pastors listening to me? Go and tell the church they are not ready for what is coming. They are preparing to tell us they are from another dimension and they are our creator.'"
"What will be done and said in meetings will not just affect 5 to 10 people, it will affect millions."
They don’t believe what we do about Jesus and the type people we are to become. What we believe is normal, they somehow see something very different as special. It’s not so obvious when you’ve been placated by a lie that it looks just like Locke. Sold with yelling, screaming, manipulation, accusation, persecution and judgement. #spiritualAbuse
It’s been years and I’m still used on stage as an example from the bully pulpit.
I changed? How did I change? I just personally asked him, if rhetorically, “not even a single day off for your brother-in-law pastor to get his head straight?” This was in the wake of having been caught & blowing up his and another’s marriage. ⤴️ His answer was it would hurt his bro’s career.
It would be an admittance of disqualifying behavior. It would hurt the cover. It’s why there was zero repentance as well.

Christianity is not unique—all religions attract narcissists & predators. The question is, does your faith group have someone who’ll stand up and protect innocence or is your church led by a narcissist who enables and protects the predator? #churchtoo https://t.co/VOeKjs6xdF
When a church platforms ‘healers’, where people leave believing they’re healed, at what point is a death following this “healing” negligence?
This isn’t about attacking belief, it’s about encouraging accountability. #pastor#religionbusiness#christianity
Sexual deviants and master manipulators often hide behind Abrahamic texts to deceive others.

“Sociological and legal studies regarding institutional misconduct suggest that individuals seeking to commit harm may gravitate toward positions of trust and authority within various organizations, including religious ones. The inherent structures of these institutions can sometimes be exploited to shield actions from public scrutiny.”
