I went to a WhiteDove conference in October (Paul Keith Davis, Bobby Conner), and the other major guys who were here in KC in the '80's... And John Paul was there too. I was just minding my own business, standing by myself up near the stage waiting for worship to begin; not bothering ANYbody. Then two guys came up to me and asked my name. I don't know who they were, don't know their names, or where they're from... But they came up to me, and I knew what was going to happen, because it's happened to me so many times before... So I told them I'm getting sick to my stomach, then I ran towards the bathroom. They followed me, yelling at me in the midst of a huge crowd of probably 3000 people (embarrassing! And frightening to have two men chasing you!). They followed me all the way to the bathroom doors. I was already inside the restroom, when one of the guys yelled at me through the door telling me if I didn't come out, that it was going to get "much worse".
A lady came in after me and talked to me for a few minutes. She was trying to help me... I was so scared. But eventually, I got up and walked out of the restroom, and she walked out with me. I needed to go get my car keys, but the two men wouldn't let me get them. The lady and I went outside into the parking lot, and I waited. And I waited. And I waited for the men to bring me my keys. They wanted me to leave so badly, but they wouldn't let me get my own darn keys! Can you believe that? I had to explain to them where they were at and wait for them to bring my keys to me. It would have been much quicker for ME to go get them! It took so long for them to get my keys (maybe it was intentional?) because by the time they brought my keys to me, there were two police cars and FOUR cops outside interrogating me, asking me what was going on. All I could tell them was "I don't have any idea what's going on".
I was forced to leave the conference, and the men who chased me through the church threatened to have me arrested if I a came back on the property!
They (John Paul and his group) really have a nerve to come 1400 miles away from New Hampshire to where I live, and tell me where I can and CAN'T be and run me out of events in my OWN home town!
Streams has done this to me many times. It doesn't matter if John Paul is at the conference or not, or if it's not even a Streams event. He has blacklisted me. Made my face a bad name. So whenever anybody who knows him, sees me, then I get harassed, chased through church buildings, and chased through church parking lots by several men, and then they call the police on me. They seem to know me, my face and my name... But I don't know THEIRS!!!
John Paul gives a new meaning to the word, Jezebel Spirit. He must have enough personal experience with having a Jezebel Spirit in order to know enough to write a book about it.
A lady told me that she personally knows people who were employed with streams, and they told her that there are jezebels in that ministry. Which doesn't surprise me; only confirmed what i suspected, and what i have observed. This lady also told me that she knew a few people who were hurt very badly by people at streams ministries. She even told me he is evil.
How can professing Christians, especially those operating under the pretense of a ministry' do such awful things to me (and to others)? What kind of ministry is THAT??? I believe the world would be a much better place without people like them on this planet. I'm sick and tired of Christians like this. It makes the church look bad to the entire world, and it makes Jesus look bad.
Justice delayed too long is justice denied. Martin Luther
I truly believe that judgment is coming. And I'm sorry to say this I know this sounds really bad, but I hope John Paul gets some of it, and his ministry is dramatically affected. Whatever he sowed towards me that he will reap a FULL harvest so he knows how it feels.
He has not shown one ounce of compassion towards me or changed his ways in 5 years. He still has people do the same things to me over and over and OVER again. Either he doesn't know what he is doing is wrong, or he just doesn't give a rip!
I am fearful of church now. I was doing pretty good before that WhiteDove conference in October but I am so traumatized by what they did to me, that I am tormented by it now day and night.
Due to the bullying and harassment I have received from John Paul and his group, I have been suffering much anxiety, depression, mental duress, and insomnia, to mention only a few. I can't even sleep at night.
When I was in elementary school and junior high, there were school bullies who harassed me and beat me up almost on a daily basis. Even when they weren't around, their verbal, emotional and physical abuse still affected me. I got bullied in school, and then when I go to church, I get bullied and harassed by people in church too???
Leaders get people wrapped around their finger so tightly, that they will do ANYthing he asks them to do, even though it is obviously in complete opposition to the Bible and harmful to others. They don't think about that though - apparently!'Cause when they see me, they seem to throw the Bible out and get a sudden case of amnesia of what the Bible says about treating others! I wonder if they even read their Bibles, and if they do, then they must not care what it says!
I am more for talking about God's grace, mercy, and compassion. But there comes a time when even God runs out of patience, and He brings judgment upon people.
So I'm issuing a warning:
Exodus 22:22-24:
22 "You shall not afflict any widow or FATHERLESS CHILD. 23 If you afflict them in ANY way, and they cry AT ALL to Me, I will surely hear their cry; 24 and My wrath will become hot, and I WILL KILL YOU with the sword; your WIVES shall be WIDOWS, and your children FATHERLESS."
This scripture has really spoken to me, and I think it was God who led me to it. It is so powerful! My birthfather left me when I was born, so MY father is GOD - that means when people mess with me, they are dealing DIRECTLY with GOD, because HE is my father. And he takes great offense to those who harm His children. So I think this is a warning for John Paul, but he won't listen - he's too stubborn and hard-headed. After five years, he hasn't caught on yet that what he's doing to me is wrong, and that it isn't working.
I've been hurting so much over what he has done to me, that I stay in my house much of the time, and don't go anywhere, unless I absolutely have to. I've been so depressed, and wish I weren't alive, because the pain is indescribable.
I've been harassed so much by these people. They must not realize how they are affecting me, or they just don't give a rip.
John Paul Jackson is a BULLY to the MAX! What John Paul wants, John Paul gets, regardless of his reckless, careless, thoughtless, selfish actions towards me, and the effects it has on his target (me).
I don't know why John Paul has it out for me. All this time I've been dealing with this problem, nobody has bothered to help me, or tried to talk to them and get them to stop harassing me.
I'm tired of it. Tired of feeling afraid.
I went to the OneThing conference here in Kansas City, and I felt afraid to be there, that I was going to be run out and harassed again. It didn't happen, they weren't there (as far as I know), but I was still afraid it would happen. When I saw a police man / security officer, I cringed. I thought he was coming up to me to tell me to leave, that I couldn't be there. Got flashbacks of the last occurrence with John Paul's group at the WhiteDove conference in October.
This whole thing that John Paul is doing to me is mentally and spiritually abusive! I can't even sleep at night.
Anyway, I know God is true to His Word. But this has had a drastic effect on me emotionally, spiritually, on my faith, and my walk with God too. I hate church, and don't want to go back. I don't trust Christians much anymore. I'm pretty cynical towards the church now as a result of abusive leaders such as John Paul Jackson. Because of how he has treated me directly, and indirectly through the hands of others, I don't think the church wants me or needs me either. I feel pretty useless. John Paul and his group treat me like I have some kind of disease, that they might catch if I am in the same building with them. I don't know what's wrong with them... They are just plain EVIL - how else can their actions be described?
But yet, he still keeps on cranking out his books - 5 new ones were released in just the month of December! - perfect timing for people who want to spend money for Christmas gifts! Makes me wanna puke to see people lining up at the groaning tables at his conferences to empty their wallets on his garbage! If they only knew what John Paul was really like! If they only knew what he has done to other people, they wouldn't be giving any amount of money to that creep!
Streams is always asking for money or for donations. Believe it or not, they even requested for somebody to donate to them an airplane and a boat and some cars! John Paul isn't hurting for money! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out either. Just add up all the conferences and classes he offers every month, multiply that by the class price, and average it by 20 students PER class. He's raking in the money just off of his classes ALONE! He can buy his own dang plane if he wanted to, and can live like Benny Hinn.
Please... Let anybody know about this website so they can post complaints on it about John Paul so others are warned, and they won't get hurt. People need to know. They need to be warned that John Paul is not everything he appears to be. He needs to be held accountable for his actions until he repents!
John Paul is a huge bully. What is a bully? Read on.
Bullies are everywhere, from the playground to the workplace. They start their bully ways as children. Some grow out of it, some see the error of their ways, some are shown the error of their ways, and some never change. Bullies lack self-confidence and self-esteem, so to feel important, they think they must bully those who possess these traits. Their philosophy of social hierarchy is:
I am at this level.
You are above me.
Rather than working to achieve or exceed your level, I will work to bring you down to my level.
Then I will be superior to you.
What is bullying?
Bullying is a conscious and willful act of aggression and/or manipulation by one or more people against another person or people. It is sometimes premeditated, and sometimes opportunistic, sometimes directed mainly towards one victim, and sometimes occurring serially and randomly. Bullying is a cowardly act because it is done to cause hurt without fear of recrimination. The victimized person is unlikely to retaliate effectively, if at all, nor are they likely to tell anyone about it. Bullying relies on those who are marginally involved, often referred to as observers, onlookers, or watchers, doing nothing to stop the bullying or becoming actively involved in supporting it.
Bullying contains the following elements:
Harm is intended.
There is an imbalance of power.
Bullying is often organized and systematic.
Bullying is repetitive, occurring over a period of time; or it is a random but serial activity carried out by someone who is feared for this behavior.
Hurt experienced by a victim of bullying can be external (physical) and/or internal (psychological).
Bullying can take many forms: physical, emotional, verbal or a combination of these. It may involve one child bullying another, a group of children against a single child or groups against other groups (gangs). It is not unlike other forms of victimization and abuse in that it involves:
Imbalance of power
Differing emotional tones, the victim will be upset whereas the bully is cool and in control
Blaming the victim for what has happened
Lack of concern on the part of the bully for the feelings and concerns of the victim
Lack of compassion
Who are bullies?
Bullies are very often people who have been bullied or abused themselves. Sometimes they are experiencing life situations they can't cope with, that leave them feeling helpless and out of control. They may have poor social skills, do not fit in, and cannot meet the expectations of their family, school, or bosses. They bully to feel competent, successful, to control someone else, to get some relief from their own feelings of powerlessness.
Things that might cause someone to turn into a bully:
Might be picked on by someone else so they pick on you so that they think that they feel strong
Might not have any friends and be jealous of people that do have friends
May be picked on by their parents
Might be having trouble understanding their school work
May not know how to feel happy
Things that victims may have that the bully does not have:
Sense of humor
Interesting life
Friends
Hobbies and sport interests
People that like them
Parents that love them
Victims of bullies
Bullies choose the weak or those perceived as weak as their victims. Their victims tend to have the following characteristics:
Low self-esteem
Insecure
Lack of social skills
Not able to pick up on social cues
Cry or easily become emotionally distraught
Unable to defend or stand up for themselves
Some people actually seem to provoke their own victimization. They will tease bullies and make themselves a target by egging the bully on and then, not know when to stop, they are unable to effectively defend themselves when the balance of power shifts to the bully.
People who are not bullied tend to have better social skills and conflict management skills. They are more willing to assert themselves about differences without being aggressive or confronting. They suggest compromises and alternate solutions. They tend to be more aware of people's feelings and are the people who can be most helpful in resolving disputes and assisting other victims to get help.
How bullies bully
Some bullies tease and harass. Some use force, to achieve their purposes, but that takes effort, so most rely on intimidation. The threat of a punch in the nose is worse than an actual punch in the nose. Once punched its over, except for the healing. However, a threat of harm will have you leery, cautious, and worrying for weeks and months to come. When a bully says "You better watch your back because I'll get you!", it is better to deal with the situation immediately than to worry about it for weeks. One way to deal with the threat is to say "No, I won't be watching my back because we are going to settle this NOW!" and then take action to settle it now.
Some bullies get their way most of the time so they continue their bully ways their entire life, and some even become apparently successful in life. But their life is always stressful and usually their successes are gained illegally.
Bullies do not lead what most would consider a desirable life, even when they outwardly appear to be "successful, " i.E. Lots of of money and "things." Most times their bully ways lead them into failure and/or judicial or non-judicial punishment, but some times they live an affluent life and die of old age. So is life. Nobody said life is fair.
