Good riddance to that heretical false church ⛪️.
Human beings are the only species known to be capable of complex mystical thought. It can lead to wonderment, imagination, inquiry and personal fulfillment. Unfortunately it can also lead to crass superstition, irrational fears and exploitative manipulation by others.
You mean no pancakes?

What a load of horses#it!
Profit, not prophet.
Based on all the credible evidence, including his own acknowledgements of contact with the two Jane Does over twenty years ago, it is more likely than not that [Bickle] engaged in inappropriate behavior including sexual contact and clergy misconduct, in an abuse of power for a person in a position of trust and leadership.
The two cases that Bickle acknowledges—one with “inappropriate behavior” including two instances of kissing and another he describes as a “consensual sexual contact that involved her touching me but not me touching her”—took place in 1999 and 2002–2003.
Mike Bickle was on of the “Kansas City (False) Prophets” of the late 80s early 90s. He never repented of his false prophecies. Now we learn the rest of the story
When an IHOP closes, you just know they didn’t have a leg to stand on....
” . . . uncovered to be one of the most manipulative, creepy, and pervy “prophets’ . . .”
If ‘manipulative, creepy and pervy’ was his thing, his mistake was not starting his own religion - for precedent, see Mohammed and L. Ron Hubbard, among others.
The DNA of IHOPKC is massaged into the foundations of other wildly popular and influential movements like Bethel Church at Redding, CA; UpperRoom in Dallas, Denver, and wherever else they are now; and likely hundreds or thousands of other churches and prayer rooms around the globe. There's no way to overstate the implications of what is happening as the foundational prophecies and stated goals of the source - IHOPKC - are disintegrating.
There's youtube podcast called Wake Up and Win, hosted by a young married couple. The husband was perhaps the first most public defector from IHOPKC, around 2009. The Wake Up and Win podcast spends quite a bit of time in the past seven months hashing out the realities of IHOPKC's history and current crisis.
