1/ @WillowCreekCC is approaching their 50th anniversary--so towards 5 full decades of multiple sexual predator clerics and never-ending Institutional Cowardice and Institutional Betrayal of victim-survivors: a thread (this thread is gonna get so. long. over the next 8 months)
this is me not responding sarcasticaly with reference to an annual revenue stream of US$1.4BILLION, etc.
I wonder what Jesus meant when he used whatever aramaic word is translated "mammon"?
Hi Immanuel. May I ask a sincere question? Have you considered what message participating with the global leadership summit sends to victims of clergy sexual abuse and Institutional Betrayal?
Hi Bandari Maritim Academy team. May I ask a sincere question? Have you considered what message participating with the global leadership summit sends to victims of clergy sexual abuse and Institutional Betrayal?

I love the work @compassion does among children. But what this whistleblower reveals is extremely concerning.
An AI tool he developed found more than 25,000 cases of suspected grooming in letters between sponsors and the children in Compassion's program. The whistleblower says Compassion has failed to adequately address the danger and is instead threatening him with legal action.
I hate to say it, but this is typical circling-the-wagons behavior. I'm really disappointed. Full disclosure, I've sponsored Compassion children for decades.

It’s important to clear something up that I see misunderstood quite often.
If a pastor has a sexual relationship with a parishioner, it can never be described as consensual. This isn’t opinion – it’s a matter of clergy ethics.
It is malpractice – and an abuse of power.

Compassion International’s own AI tool flagged 25,810 suspected grooming cases in letters sponsors wrote to children. A whistleblower who helped build the tool says @compassion still has no process for canceling those sponsors.

Going into debt to support a church isn't necessarily an act of faith. It may be an act of financial recklessness. And pastors shouldn't confuse the two.
Yet as @WillowCreekCC seeks to raise $100 million, pastor Shawn Williams is praising families who took out personal loans and second mortgages to fund the church's first building in 1977.

17/ Perhaps even MORE interestingly--what if she went through some miraculous transformation and became a follower of Jesus? That'd be a thing to behold . Here's Dr. @wademullen on Dark Side and Light Side Leadership: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
16/ I'm a little bit curious about how Theresa Sidebotham became so evil. She's a little bit like ... Eichmann. yeah, that's the simile, right there. Like some kind of Eichmann for Molech. What happened to her, one wonders, over there in Java, as a child?
15/ We're about to surpass 60 humans associated with New Tribes Mission/Ethnos360 up on @ProtAccountDB. That's 44 perpetrators of sexual misconduct, and 16 vicious mishandlers of allegations thereof. The true number is definitely at least 5 times that number.
14/ Well. I deleted a bunch of tweets from this thread. Suffice it to say that the stuff in the Whiddens lawsuit against New Tribes Misson/Ethnos360 is the darkest stuff I've ever read. Massive trigger warnings. web.archive.org/web/20260917…
