Bethel Tries To Show “Real Change”…
In an effort to convince the most gullible congregation in the country that his church is making “real change”, Dollar Bill Johnson is refusing to platform grifters it never should have allowed to be there in the first place.
What courage it must take to sever ties with Todd Bentley...who will have to supplement his income by working as a carny somewhere…which is basically what he’s been doing for the last twenty years, any way.
Anyone with a Bible and enough sense to pour urine out of their boot knew he was a fraud from day one.
He’s also cutting ties with Mike Bickle (rhymes with despicable) and prophetic fraud Shawn Bolz who was exposed for exposing…himself...and being a prophetic charlatan.
Who the hell would have ties to this kind of vermin in the first place?
What courage …has been lacking for so long.
The problem here is that the whole New Apostolic Reformation is nothing but a carny show…everyone who ever set foot on that “platform” was a fraud.
There isn’t enough gold dust or goose feathers falling from the ceiling to cover this compost heap of religious manipulation and fraud.
Just as most sane people know carny games are rigged, so most sane Christians watching these thieves should have a clue that they are never winning the big stuffed animal…and they will go home broke.
One last thought…any real accountability will have to come from outside the walls of Bethel.
Always remember that the way to survive in circles like this is to have dirt on everyone else in the circle…and be willing to use those nuclear codes if necessary…

Such is true about the church today. What a vicious form of “checks and balances.” The church should provide career counseling so more of these men can transfer into becoming a greeter at Walmart.
Ah yes, Mutually Assured Destruction. “If I go down, you all go down with me.”
This explains why all these leaders that defend/support/do nothing about abusers, go after the victims, etc. The abusers know where the bodies are buried. Doesn’t matter if it is Bethel, Calvary Chapel, the SBC, the Assemblies of God, Willow Creek, Vineyard, Wheaton College, etc.
Like this gem from the Roys Report about the AoG:

Every few years there’s a documentary on an MLM that took people’s money, did huge rallies with self-help gurus and hashtag-quality speeches. Rags-to-riches stories. Self-realization books. Sales pitches. YouTube videos about the secrets to success. Testimonies. Shaking hands with celebrities and politicians.
And then the owners raking in the cash. New cars. Newer houses and mansions. Bankrupted followers. Chastisements of those who quit (“poverty mentality” for example.) Just wait it out and the promises come true.
Lawsuits. Settlements. Sworn affidavits….and promises from the owners that they will make changes due to “misunderstandings.” Few changes made. “We just cared too much.” Etc, etc.
Same energy here.
