John MacArthur met his own definition of a false prophet – Baptist News Global MacArthur’s fundamental understanding of reality was about his own ascension to power, and it absolutely pervaded everything.

@rickpidcock.bsky.social writes an insightful exposé. One that supporters of JMac will hate. Not because it's not true but because their loyalty to JMac outweighs reason & truth. Fealty to a man in a Christian environment is one of the most dangerous fealties of all.

I'm just sayin' 🤷‍♂️

Does Iorg really believe Brown and Thigpen are liars? A denier of a sexual abuse in the SBC says Jeff Iorg agrees with him that the stories of two key abuse survivors are false.

Jeff Iorg, SBC Exec Committee President, evidently doesn't believe survivors of sexual abuse are telling the truth. And he's not alone in SBC leadership circles.

This comes as no surprise to us...

When we saw news reports, "Israel states Iran can have nuke in 2 weeks," the first thought I had and mentioned it to my wife was, "this sounds like the stuff they used to get us into Iraq."

Tragically, misuse of fear is the one thing these leaders know will almost always get the masses on side...🙄

"How are those white-washed tombs? Still filled with dead men’s bones? I used to wonder whose bones they were. Now I know. The bones are ours. It’s the remains of every victim they’ve left in their wake."

Whew, this piece by @davidpittman.bsky.social hits hard.

Thanks buddy! 👊

Ever since I got the news about Jen Lyell, I've cried. I've cried & I've cussed. First Duane, then Jen. But it goes back much further. I think Jen was just a tipping point for my exhaustion. My exhaustion with the Southern Baptist Convention

I'm grateful to Aaron Weaver and all the folks with The Baptist History & Heritage Society for inviting me to speak. It's my hope that one day, history says the right things were finally done. That one day, children were cherished and protected more than institutions

Clergy sex abuse crisis doesn’t stem from ‘the Sexual Revolution’ Sexual abuse is “the rotten fruit of the Sexual Revolution,” says Jeff Dalrymple, director of the SBC Sexual Abuse Prevention department.

I'm just gonna leave this right here and say one thing...I agree with @christabrown.bsky.social 💯

"Jeff Dalrymple either doesn’t understand these unique dynamics of clergy sex abuse, or he just doesn’t really care."

On my way thru Georgia last month, I was FINALLY able to make good on a promise I made to @atticus59914029.bsky.social

Enjoy your Valdosta State Champs Coca-Cola bottle, my friend!

It was great getting to spend time talking w u. Linda & I look forward to driving back thru & hanging out with y'all!

Continuing to expose predators, to call out their enablers, to educate those who seek it and to protect the vulnerable no matter the cost...this is what we must do ✊️

The fundamentalists and faux-religious are going to keep taking and taking...

I can't remember if I shared this story with you, but I once had a Nazarene pastor tell me, "child sexual abuse doesn't exist in the Nazarene church because we don't allow it to."

And I genuinely believe he genuinely believed that. That is how far in denial so many in The Church are...🙄

My wife and I LOVED it!! We enjoy the shows done by "Shondaland" productions. They also did Bridegerton. Maybe check out their other shows also?

Hey Mrs. Finch, I hope y'all are well! I have a Coca-Cola bottle to drop off at ur hubby's office, but since twitter went evil, I can't DM him. I just need his law firm address to drop it off. I think he still has my contact info. Let me know if he needs it. Thanks!

@atticus59914029.bsky.social

Hey there! I can't find the address to your law firm since twitter went evil. I'm headed to Georgia next week & want to drop off the Coca-Cola bottle (FINALLY) that'd I promised u years back. Send me the address & I'll drop it off on my way to Tifton. Hope all is well

@ashtonpittman.bsky.social

Hey Ashton! It's Sooo great to see you here! 👊 I'm trying like crazy to no longer be on the bad place 🤨 But it's like pulling teeth to get everyone else come along UGH!

Thank you Lisa. It was an honor to be a part of today's discussion. I hope hearing from a survivors perspective was/will be helpful for folks in The Church. There's so much The Church needs to address in being truly lamentful. And thank you for sharing that link 👊
