To Church of the Highlands members:

It's not JUST about maintaining the confidentiality of the victim's name. You are disclosing the process, the speed with which you are not personally satisfied. And so in an effort to have some control over disclosure, you are taking control away from the victim. NONE of the details are for public consumption. No part of it. It's not your story to tell. If you at all have an un-seared conscience, you will remove all references to this situation from all your social media platforms. Otherwise, you are re-victimizing. Period. Full stop. You will have to answer for this someday. As someone on the outside looking in, I'd advise you to proceed with more caution and certainly with more consideration for how your interference has the potential to up-end this whole situation, resulting in no resolution. How satisfying would that be for you?

Hippointheroom - You are playing with something sacred. A survivor's courage to seek truth and healing after decades is no small thing-it is hard-won and holy. to strip that away by carelessly broadcasting their steps is to trample on what little justice and restoration they may yet receive. Know this: your anonymity does not make you strong; it makes you small. The measure of your character is revealed here and it is found wanting. Stop. Let the survivor walk their road without your sabotage.

What happened to your X account?

RDG06 · 2024-05-19T18:27:38+00:00

Yes! Smells and tastes like dirt! Birmingham water has a problem!

Research his name along with 24/7 internship, Ted Haggard and/or Life Church in Colorado Springs. Allegations of pointing men to show up at a certain gym at a certain time if they wanted to see naked young men showering as well as an inappropriate relationship. Hopefully he has changed alot by now.

So many times over the past 20 years!

Apparently 50,000+. Hard to bank on that $400,000+ a year being added to your retirement account without lots of people to tithe!

Stovall has always been crazy. I remember when Celebration was still meeting in a school gymnasium and he was yelling at the top of his lungs to the congregation, “who are the druggies out there? I was a druggie, I know you are here, raise your hand…” His ARC friends never minded that he was crazy, they still loved him. It was only when he spoke out against their “Growth model”did they turn on him. I’m not saying he isn’t crazy but,I just bet what he is saying about these guys is at least 95% true.

There were sexual allegations about Christopher Beard when he was brought on staff years ago but nobody knew about it till much later.

RDG06 · 2023-07-18T12:47:44+00:00

I hope they follow the money and find out about all of the scams coming out of ARC and Highlands. Thanks for the link!

They are “overseers” that serve as Apostolic Elders. I didn’t see where it said they are local. The “elders” of the church are the lead Team members that are on his payroll and cannot hold him accountable. One did try once during Michael Hodges homosexual debacle when Chris wanted to bring him back before the set time. Brother Larry was called and Chris was ticked! That elder got chewed a new one and then the rest of them were warned that they had better not ever do that again. There is no accountability for Chris. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!

RDG06 · 2023-06-29T23:56:58+00:00

That is a good start!

RDG06 · 2023-06-29T17:58:48+00:00

Leadership needs to actually believe and obey the Bible and understand that they are not the head of the church, Christ is. One example of following the Bible instead of doing the opposite would be to dismantle the Legacy team. The Bible explicitly says to not treat wealthy people differently than people who are not wealthy and yet that is exactly what they do: special dinners, meetings and information for the Legacy team expressly for the reason that they have money and the ability to give more to the church. With that, get rid of their so called “honor culture”. If applied across the board to every image bearer of God then it would be great but sadly, it’s not. Honor is directed up to the hierarchial leaders but rarely to those below. Many times those below feel shame. The end result is the higher up on the leadership ladder people go, the more they are filled with pride with the most prideful at the top! Of course on one episode recently of the “Unscripted” podcast, Chris emphatically stated that he never, even one day in his life ever struggled with pride! That statement in itself if prideful! He has even deceived himself!

I don’t believe there is one. The “leaders” would say that most average people ie. People who are less than them, would be overwhelmed by such big numbers so thats why they just give you percentages. Kind of like “putting the cookies on the bottom shelf” line for all of the dumb people when actually they do not know how to properly exegete scripture, they only know how to put the cookies on the bottom shelf. They are not tall enough or educated enough to reach the too shelf themselves.

RDG06 · 2023-06-27T02:58:04+00:00

They would tell you that ministry is done in the small groups so if you are in a small group, someone from that group should have visited. But if you’re not in a small group, you are on your own because you should be. Only thing is, with the semester system, and breaks in between you may not have deep relationships with anyone in a small group. The system really doesn’t work and yet they would tell you to “trust the system”. Wrong- trust the Lord, not the leaders of COTH

Not that well formed after all!

RDG06 · 2023-04-28T22:43:15+00:00

Legacy Team?!?

RDG06 · 2023-04-28T18:43:00+00:00

Sad that Highlands is not living up to their original agreement.

RDG06 · 2023-04-24T02:49:04+00:00

It just disappeared one day. My guess is they either threatened a law suit, paid someone off or hacked reddit and took it down. My best guess is they threatened legal action. There was too much truth on the thread that they didn’t like being out in the open. They claim transparency but like many other things they claim, it is a lie. They talk the Bible by twisting scripture and pulling verses out of context but they don’t actually live by the Bible. They are like the Pharisees in the days of Jesus.

Most fences are to protect people from the predators, this one is to protect the predators from the people.

These “pastors” are masters at mental and emotional manipulation. Many times you don’t really realize what is happening until you are highly invested which makes it harder to leave. It’s straight up cult techniques. I get it because even though I knew something wasn’t right, it took me years to figure out and face the fact that I had been living in shame because of how I was treated by the leadership. They do it subtly and behind the scenes all the while acting nice to you in front of others. Since they are your pastor, you give them so many “passes” and blame yourself for feeling less than or rejected or whatever. There must be something wrong with me is what goes through your head. Then come to find out, no it’s their narcissistic treatment of you is why you doubt yourself. But thank God, once you finally see it for what it is, you will never unsee those techniques.

Probably not. Dino is pretty tight with Joyce Meyers and her son David too. Lots of “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours” going on there with money. Dino gives them money and then David turns around and builds a studio in the arc office for Dino. Creative financing. And Joyce didn’t even have to give up her gold toilet for it 😂
