Working on staff at

was weird. I was devoting 24hrs/wk to 3 โdepartmentsโ for 1.5yrs because I was able to get $800/mo.
But then the finance department said โyouโre a single male. You donโt need that much.โ
So I continued on $500/mo till I was getting evicted.
Iโm confused as to why
@ihopkc
has put these women through internal investigations so many times. The leaders have shown themselves as incompetent in the realm of being trauma informed. They lack integrity in their care of women, and have blamed the advocates.
As someone who grew up in the โpropheticโ/charismatic/NAR and seen it used by EVERYONE to manipulate situations positively and negatively. Iโm kinda excited to see things explode.

Many of the conversations that Iโve had with Christians and ihoppers is this โdonโt speak ill of a brother.โ When we are talking about grievous acts theyโve done. Itโs mind boggling the indoctrination, and predators love it.
With a culture of confession at

Whenever abuse is being spoken about in public watch how women are spoken of vs men. Watch what is targeted, the dehumanizing language, & the proportion. Misogyny runs deep in the waters.
Honesty, yes. Complicity matters.
Misogyny, no.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
I just remembered that while in Media at

camera ops were regularly instructed to โonly show the pretty people worshipingโ and that it was preferable to favor the women on camera. I know most of those leaders I had were instructed by their leaders, and theyโve all left.

Not to mention that many people in NW and on Media were sleeping around. There was SA and consent. But what do you expect when you give horny adults 8 cameras to control and a room full of โattractive peopleโ.
The SA was handled discreetly, and people were moved to other shifts.

Was the โnameless and facelessโ message many of us were drawn by just a manipulation tactic? We wanted to be lost in the crowd of people loving Jesus. But we ended up losing ourselves, our autonomy, and our own voice.

Please donโt conflate those who have reported being sexually victimized with those claiming to have been โvictimizedโ by a process IHOPKC unilaterally created and then piously assumed everyone would embrace.
Mike Bickle used prophetic declarations of the death of his wife to manipulate multiple women (including a teenager) for his own sexual exploits. The ELT has known this for months. I want to know why they havenโt addressed this or have told their congregation.
