Well done Mr. Friel.
Very funny satire; and addresses a much needed and very serious faith issue.

CONCLUSIONS ON PAGE 27
FROM THE FIREFLY REPORT ON DR. MICHAEL BROWN

It is believed that any sexual misconduct within ministerial relationships represents a profound violation of sacred trust, undermining the moral and ethical foundations upon which such relationships are built. Such behavior, in any form, is entirely unacceptable in any setting, but particularly within church and ministry settings. These actions not only betray the confidence placed in these roles but also inflict significant harm on individuals and communities, eroding the trust essential for fostering spiritual guidance and support.

Based on gathered information and consistent accounts from multiple witnesses, it is evident that BROWN engaged in an inappropriate relationship with IS #1, as well as an inappropriate relationship involving sexually abusive misconduct with IS #2, Sarah. IS #2 Sarah was nineteen years old when BROWN first took notice of her, leading her to believe God was placing her in a place of favor under BROWN. Within a year, at the age of twenty, these interactions escalated to physical touch.

With IS #2 Sarah, BROWN was observed holding her hand on multiple occasions, and both BROWN and IS #2 Sarah acknowledged and admitted to BROWN kissing IS #2 Sarah and making contact with the back midsection of her body. The meaning and exact locations of the kissing and contact to the rear are in question between the two accounts but must be looked at through the external viewpoint of an adult male having physical contact with an adult female.

While it is impossible to definitively prove deviant intent behind these actions, as the only person who sent and/or received sexually related communication with BROWN is deceased, the patterns of BROWN’S actions suggest that BROWN knowingly contributed to the situation and created an environment where, according to IS #2 Sarah, she felt uncomfortable and, even if years later, acknowledges that their relationship was inappropriate. Although the lack of direct proof of intent leaves room for speculation, the numerous interviews and, in many cases, corroborating documentation, point to a deliberate involvement of sexual misconduct within BRSM or FIRE SCHOOL, which could also be viewed as sexual harassment and/or a hostile work environment, especially with BROWN holding a position of power within the school generally and more specifically, with IS #2 Sarah. 

Based on the provided information, it is notable that no credible evidence has emerged between 2002 and 2025 to suggest further inappropriate sexual behavior by BROWN. This strongly supports the belief that these were isolated incidents, confined to 2001 and 2002, as corroborated by consistent witness accounts and a comprehensive review of the available evidence.

As a Spirit-filled believer, I personally question the sincerity of these charismatic NAR ministers: Bill Johnson, Jeremiah Johnson, Alexander Pagani, Patricia King, James Goll, and Todd White. And I would also question anyone who associates with them. While I wouldn’t necessarily say that all charismatics should absolutely run back to Assembly of God on their hands and knees–some of the AG churches might be okay. –J.B.

²⁵ I rebuked them and called curses down on them. I beat some of the men and pulled out their hair. I made them take an oath in God’s name and said: “You are not to give your daughters in marriage to their sons, nor are you to take their daughters in marriage for your sons or for yourselves. ²⁶ Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women. ²⁷ Must we hear now that you too are doing all this terrible wickedness and are being unfaithful to our God
by marrying foreign women?”
–Nehemiah 13:25-27 (NIV)–

When he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?”
–John the Baptist in Matthew 3:7 (NIV)–

¹³ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. ¹⁵ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are. ¹⁶ “Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gold of the temple is bound by that oath.’ ¹⁷ You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? ¹⁸ You also say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.’ ¹⁹ You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? ²⁰ Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. ²¹ And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it. ²² And anyone who swears by heaven swears by God’s throne and by the one who sits on it. ²³ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. ²⁴ You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. ²⁵ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. ²⁷ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. ²⁹ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. ³⁰ And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ ³¹ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. ³² Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started! ³³ “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? ³⁴ Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town. ³⁵ And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. ³⁶ Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation. ³⁷ “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. ³⁸ Look, your house is left to you desolate. ³⁹ For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 23:13-39 (NIV)–

You stiff-necked people! 
Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised.
You are just like your ancestors:
You always resist the Holy Spirit!
–Stephen in Acts 7:51 (NIV)–

May your money perish with you,
because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!
–Peter in Acts 8:20 (NIV)–

You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right!
You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery.
Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
–Paul in Acts 13:10 (NIV)–

Because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot,
I will vomit you out of My mouth.
–Rich Laodicea Pastor in Revelation 3:16 (NKJV)–

John Gill, Commentary on Ephesians 4:26: “Be ye angry, and sin not.” There is anger which is not sinful; for anger is found in God himself, in Jesus Christ, in the holy angels, and in God’s people; and a man may be said to be angry and not sin, when his anger arises from a true zeal for God and religion; when it is kindled not against persons, but sins; when a man is displeased with his own sins, and with the sins of others: with vice and immorality of every kind; with idolatry and idolatrous worship, and with all false doctrine; and also when it is carried on to answer good ends, as the good of those with whom we are angry, the glory of God, and the promoting of the interest of Christ: and there is an anger which is sinful; as when it is without a cause; when it exceeds due bounds; when it is not directed to a good end; when it is productive of bad effects, either in words or actions; and when it is soon raised, or long continues: the Jews have a like distinction of anger.

The Ten Commandments and Hell are all over the New Testament! You can’t just confine your evangelism presentation to what you find in the book of Acts. I don’t need to dignify this with a comment: but I post this to show how completely antinomian and easy-believism minded the Bright family and Cru are today. AWFUL! I don’t think these leaders believe in God at all. No conscience at all. I really wonder how many millions have been sent to Hell under their false teaching. Popularity is no determinant for the truth, the Bible alone is. It’s pretty simple: just say, “Oops! I was wrong for being lackadaisical about our Cru gospel presentation; and still continuing to foolishly print garbage theology after all these years. No problem, I’ll discontinue publishing the Four Spiritual Laws without a second thought.” That’s all he needs to do, but he won’t because he’s deceived by easy believism. Cru is a completely antinomian ministry. Next time you see Cru, please forbid your kids from going there. Boo to Cru! Anything but Campus Crusade for Christ theology. Ask your college kids: “Do they preach that you should obey the Bible? Do they ever preach on Hell? Do they talk about the blood of Jesus and the cross?” Probably not very much at Cru meetings; and it should come as no surprise that they can set up shop at worldly state universities without much difficulty. They blend right in! It comes as no surprise that a former Cru leader, who was a Harry Potter fan, reviewed my Gospel of Jesus Christ book, and had nothing to say at all except that it was “graceless and severe.” –J.B.
