#RobertMorris, former #Texas #megachurch pastor and Trump adviser, indicted for child sex crimes
Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President #DonaldTrump, and #Gateway — one of the nation’s largest megachurches — has been particularly active in Dallas-area GOP politics.
By Robert Downen
March 12, 2025"Robert Morris, the Dallas-area megachurch pastor who resigned last year amid sexual abuse allegations, has been indicted in Oklahoma for child sex crimes that date back to the 1980s.
"Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, and Gateway — one of the nation’s largest megachurches — has been particularly active in politics. In 2020, Trump held a 'Roundtable on Transition to Greatness' there that was attended by then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr and other prominent Republicans.
"Morris faces five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office said in a Wednesday evening press release."

#DougWilson Has Spent Decades Pushing for a #Christian #Theocracy. In #Trump’s DC, the #NewRight Is Listening.
#DougWilson has built a #theocratic regime in Moscow, Idaho, where men rule and biblical teachings guide everything. Now he’s taking the model national, with a receptive crowd in the #GOP.
By Ian Ward, 05/23/2025Excerpt: "Wilson has spent much of his career outside the conservative mainstream, which has distanced itself from his frank defense of theocracy, his ultra-#patriarchal views on gender relations and his reactionary stances on race and 'the war between the states,' as he still calls the #CivilWar. (On the 'About' page of his blog, Wilson describes his politics as 'slightly to the right' of the #Confederate general Jeb Stuart.) Online, Wilson has cultivated a punk-rock aesthetic designed to foster his reputation as the 'based' intellectual bad boy of American #evangelicalism: In a promotional video posted at the height of the conservative backlash to '#woke' media companies in 2023, Wilson used a skull-and-crossbones-emblazoned flamethrower to torch oversized cardboard cutouts of various Disney princesses and social media companies, all while puffing on a fat cigar."

I think they merged at some point. -
At times when I'm not in debt, I give 6% of my income to people/organizations that help people. I was doing that for several years prior to moving to Virginia when I became a charity case. I should be able to start doing this again in a year and a half now.

Gateway Church congregants, former staff react to Robert Morris sexual abuse allegations
“This is just the beginning. I wholeheartedly and sadly believe I am not the only victim.”
“I’m all for redemption, but you can’t have someone that’s a child pedophile be a leader in the church, period. That’s just uncalled for. It’s a complete nightmare.”

Are we surprised that a megachurch would harbor a pastor who sexually abused a 12-year old for decades? Or that this megachurch would host Trump & raise multiple millions of dollars for him? Or that the megachurch would pretend to be surprised today by all this along with the resignation of said pastor?

This is a very thought-provoking article for anyone that has any interest in, or experience with an #AI #chatbot OR a #psychic (or for that matter, a traveling #evangelist that goes from #church to church, especially those in the #pentecostal / #charismatic / #evangelical camp, since they often use the same techniques. If you are an #exvangelical or have suffered #ReligiousTrauma you may have encountered these types - they may actually believe they are doing God's work, but whether they know it or not they are using many of the same tricks that most psychics and stage magicians use. Even some #preachers , #pastors and #CultLeaders use these techniques on their congregations, especially in the #Christian #megachurches).

"#Fascist “Parental rights” groups like #MomsforLiberty, which have deep ties to the #GOP, are popping up at #schoolboards across America, often with #ProudBoys as their #muscle, to seize political power under the guise of fighting LGBTQ “indoctrination” in schools. These “grassroots” groups are frequently assisted and trained by religious hategroups like #TurningPointUSA, #TheHeritageFoundation, and the #LeadershipInstitute, as well as #untaxed #megachurches that function like #PACs.”

And I have learned something else today:
#FoxNews is not in the #news nor in the #information businesses,
it chiefly sells a sense of #belonging through #Infotainment ("performative belief) in a seemingly increasingly hostile environment.Just like #MegaChurches (could be read as #MAGAChurches as well 😉)

The fact that 36 of the 38 top worship songs of the 2010s were produced by four #charismatic #megachurches goes a long way toward explaining why the #theology of most contemporary #worship music is absolutely dreadful. https://religionnews.com/2023/04/11/theres-a-reason-every-hit-worship-song-sounds-the-same/

If I were still a churchgoer and were ever in a #church that said this I would waste no time getting up and leaving. And I would yell "ICHABOD!" at the top of my lungs just as I reached the door! NO church is going to tell me I have to hate people in order to be part of their group.
The IRS really needs to start investigating these businesses-cum-religions. If people knew how much in taxes were avoided by these #megachurches thery would either be enraged or trying to figure out how to get in on the scam.
(For those not familiar with the Biblical first Book of Samuel, "Ichabod" means "the glory has departed" or "where's the glory" - it's basically a backhanded way of saying you're not going to find God or Jesus anywhere near this place!)
Megachurch forces all members to sign statement opposing LGBTQ+ rights
The church's senior pastor used anti-LGBTQ+ disinformation to explain why all church members must sign or resign. -
When are people going to wake up to this con? Billionaires won’t save us. #EffectiveAltruism is a con. So is #Libertarianism. #MegaChurches and the #ProsperityGospel are too. Stop hoping there is a benevolent billionaire who cares more about the planet or the people or democracy than they do their own massive earth-destroying wealth. I see smart people saying things like “where is the left’s Robert Mercer?” STOP. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-grift-brothers/
