I've seen her dad preach many times and even went to dinner with him a few times. I attended Hyles-Anderson College as well. I did not make it a whole year before I was kicked out for having my own courage to do the things that I thought God wanted me to do and not what this cult wanted me to do. Theres a vibe these types of preachers give me and I new very early on that something was off. Thank you for having the courage to use your voice and speak out against these evil men and their cults.
joseph farrell... what do you think about the bob jones sr college one of my pastors went to hyles church as well its hard sometimes to know who is good or bad.... i was a member of an independent baptist church just like 80 percent of the so called tv evangelist are crooked
I would like to know the secrets. But thank you for sharing. I left FBC of Hammond a year after Jack Schaap was put in prison and I always wondered why your sister never spoke up and I knew she had to know that something was going on... I was good friends with the girl he was imprisoned for sexually abusing. There is a peace of my past that I simply can’t remember and I’m desperately trying to uncover it. Thank you for shining light on the truth. I too share your three values. Much love ❤️
Like all religious groups, Independent Baptist Churches have radicals. I have been a member of a Independent Baptist church for many years. I have seen a few of them that are associated with the one Linda is talking about and they are all like that. My church and another one I have been a member of are absolutely nothing like this. We worship God. Our pastor leads us in the way we should go, but if we fall we are not ostracized. The pastor is our friend and we love him and don't worship him!!!
II am truly blessed after reading all of these comments. I have been in IBC all of my life and have never been in a church like this. I guess there are all kinds in every denomination. Yes, I have been very blessed and sorry for those who have gone through situations such as this or similar to this.
I was a student at HAC for part of one year. Within the first month I knew something was wrong. I'd gone to HAC to study the Bible, but instead with studied Jack Hyles. We were required to be members of the FBC of Hammond, Indiana. We were required to requite children for his Sunday school. In fact, there is a video here on youtube of this man claiming that his students were his children and his army. I was there for the mess in 1989. All of us who left (over half of the student body) were considered the problem that God had eradicated from the school when in fact we had witnessed the atrocities this man generated. I could go on and on. Thank you Linda for standing up for what is right and presenting your story.
My former pastor, Steven Froelke (I'm sure you know the name as he was a toady of Hyles and new sits on the board at HAC and is a deacon I believe at FBC now) was and is an insider as our church was an extension of FBC. Looking back on my childhood years, I can't believe I didn't see the nonsense that went on being around Hyles and Froelke so often. I didn't believe it until a good friend of mine who was a student was assaulted on campus for leaving without permission to purchase medication when he was sick. I can't believe I wanted to go to college there "to find a husband"....What nonsense I was taught! Thankfully, my break wasn't nearly as traumatic as Linda's...
*Stacy* A "toady"? Either way, Steve Froelke is not on any "board"...not sure what you meant by that...and an "insider"? Victory Baptist was no "extension" of FBC Hammond(???). You've now thrown out *FOUR* words/terms that really make little to no sense. Lastly, you make reference to some sort of "nonsense". Forgive me, but what you've said holds little to no water, *AND* you didn't believe "IT" which means what? *SMH*
@James Dare Don't take *ME* wrong, but exactly what "accusations" in particular do you declare to be false? The mentality (at least used to be), was that if you didn't *SEE* it happen, then it *DIDN'T* happen. Blind loyalty was a basic tenant that flowed from *HAC* and *FBCH* . Did all do so? No, but it was woven into the hearts and minds of the students, & overflowed to the congregants as a whole at FBCH.
This church completely destroyed our large family and my best friend's family. My dad became completely brainwashed by the cultic mentality and all of our lives were changed. I went to school with Linda. I remember her being very quiet. I think I knew back then that it was hard for her. How I wish we had never seen that church! Many lives ruined! His son, Dave, was a disaster to my brothers. None of them go to church now. He caused so much scandal to souls. Thank you, Linda, for speaking out. Only one who has been through the situation can truly understand what you have gone through.
Thank you Linda for coming forward with this truth. I truly took a lot of courage. I so appreciate your story. I share in your pain, as I was victimized at FBC, and your father was part of the cover up. I have had a life of pain and scars from the time this happened to me in my early teen years. Finally, someone on the inside to tell the world what I experienced first hand.
Hello Linda, I remember you. I was a student a Hyles Anderson for 2 yrs. I always thought you were very pretty & taken. I had asked your little sister to sit with me in church once. Your dad indicated to her not to. I never understood why & thought he saw a flaw in me, until now. Now I think he somehow knew I wouldn’t stand for his sinful secrets & didn’t want me close to Cindy. I've been married 34 yrs & never cheated on my wife. I'm sorry for your pain. Thank you for your courageous sharing.
Wow … thank you Linda for telling your story. I grew up in IFB churches across the Gulf Coast where your dad was one of the heroic voices of the tribe. As a teenager and a PK, my brothers and I began to question and suspicion all the hidden secrets of the movement, as you so courageously describe - and eventually, after years of keeping our own small town secrets and denying truth, we made our Exodus from the tribe at around my age 40, with my little family intact. Decades of therapy and healing have followed of course. The residual pain and suffering has not been nearly for my family what you have experienced, but I thank God for the courage to speak up and to stand up for freedom and truth, and to finally move forward. Blessings as you continue to share your brave story! 🕊
I read about what happened in Fbc Hammond in the article titled The Saddest Story ever told by the late Dr.Bob Sumner in the Biblical Evangelist May 1989 issue but not fully convinced about Hyles affair.After hearing Ms.Linda Murphrey speak about her life the doubts in my mind about the whole vanished.Thank you Ms.Murphrey for your courage to speak up.
I once did, from '87--'91, here in my hometown. I had previously attended a small IFB church overseas in the military that was quite nice, but the larger one here was the typical "pastor is infallible" type, and among other things, I got real tired of the browbeating, etc. I just up and left, and it was like I'd left a cult. When I encountered the asst. pastor in a store one day, he didn't even talk to me. Ran into the treasurer another time, and he asked where I'd been...No "Are you OK?" or anything, just wanted an explanation. Phoniest bunch of jerks, that's what they were.
@Ric McGuire I know this for a fact. I came from New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc., and that is exactly what they do, they worship the man and not Jesus.
I grew up with Linda, I remember often senseing an under current in her that seemed different from her siblings. I'm so pleased for her that she escaped, that she learned who she is, learned what is real, & that she is not just surviving, but is thriving. Blessings on you Linda!
Thank you Linda for exposing the truth and answering any questions I had as a child. Unfortunately your dads teachings have such a strong hold on my parents lives still to this day I can’t have a relationship with them. I hope this helps others despite the pain this religion causes
I am so pleased to see this, and to know that Linda is healthy and happy, and is so free and so courageous today! God bless you, Linda, and you are blessing so many of us today with this!
I broke away 2 years ago from a FBC that the pastor was trained by hyles on how to run his church, and this pastor worships hyles, has a large portiat of the two of them hanging in his house, I'm still experiencing PTSD and have not been able to begin to look for a new home church, it is a cult, and it crushes the spirit !
@@ashlieleavelle Wilkerson is a polar opposite from the videos I’ve watched. More charismatic than baptist. I’m a member of a fundamental baptist church whose focus is Christ; not the pastor. I do miss the old time hellfire and damnation preaching along with the stricter standards, but man worship has no place in any church.
I survived HAC. I was there the year that her dad died, 2001. I had never faced so much hatred, sexism, and racism as when I walked in those doors. Being judged because of my race, it was painful. I was denied a lot because of it. I got a lot of negative attention because of it. I had to leave after my first year for my own sanity. If you want a degree that you can't use out in the real world, go there. I grew up in FBC under her dad's reign. My adulthood was under her brother-in-law's reign until he was locked up. I left in 2011.
I was saved after attending an IFB church 3 times. I grew up in another denomination who taught me FACTS about God, but not about FAITH in God. The IFB church taught me the “ rest of the story” This church had a great pastor who loved people and just preached and lived out the Bible. That church accepted me as newly saved , but still rough around the collar. I dont know about Jack Hyles. We’ll find out one day. I do know I enjoyed his messages . Not all IFB churches are cultic , but some are. I do know there was a Hyles- worshipping church near me that used to be a good church but they got real mean spirited and would even steal our bus kids by getting there right before us on sunday and basically kidnapping the kids by convincing them to go with them and not even telling the parents it was a different church . Very ungodly people. That doesn’t mean they are all bad. I went to a good one. The church I go to now I describe as IB.
I was saved in an IFB church. I was grounded in the Word of God in an IFB church. I went to IFB camps. Took my kids to IFB church and camps. Atttended IFB College. I dearly LOVE brother Hyles. I DO NOT WORSHIP JACK HYLES. I'm so broken hearted to see (feel) the hatred oozing through many of these posts. There are no perfect pastors or churches. I AM NOT IN ANY WAY CONDONING BROTHER HYLES SIN (IF, IF, IF , IF) he is guilty. If you say I am, you are wrong. Sin is sin no matter who is committing it. I spent hours counseling David Hyles. I saw him weep. I spoke with his wife of 30 years much of that time. That boy has paid dearly for his sin. Let me leave you with this thought. (Again I AM NOT CONDONING ANYBODY'S SIN). Consider the sweet psalmist of Israel. He had an affair (committed adultery) with the wife of one of his mighty me while he was on the battlefield defending David's kingdom. He tried to cover his sin and when that didn't work, he had Uriah the Hittite murdered on the battlefield. Man THIS GUY WAS A DIRT BAG! I wouldn't want to read ANYTHING this guy had to say! Yet, yet, yet, yet... JESUS was referred to as "The son of David" and didn't object!
I attended a sister church to this one in my area, who's pastor frequently praised Jack Hyles. When I look at tapes of Mr Hyles, my pastor was mimicing him! Some 20 years later, I lost a child to a drug overdose, and another to the world. They were angry with church. I will forever live with the knowledge that I was a part of a cult. I gave up my time, family time, and happiness to do Gods Will. I know now it was all a waste of time. I still attend church, but it has a different meaning for me now. I am no longer identified by what I DONT do, but how I live out the love of Christ in me.
Do not allow a sad experience such as we heard from Señorita Hyles to keep us from serving our precious Lord. We are to try the spirits and discern if they are from God or not. Stay strong in the Lord.. I have been a Pastor for 50 years and have seen many casualties among ministry leaders. God cannot be mocked. Pray for one another if you know how to reach the heart of God💒🙏
You are in a dream world because you did not go through what we went through at that church. That church destroyed our family. This was not just a sad experience. It was demonic. My father was the first graduating president of Hyles Anderson College. I went to high school with Linda. I can tell you stories for hours.
Linda, Thank you for speaking out. May your freedom, truth, and courage inspire others to freedom, truth, and courage. To those still inside this organization: remember, you are only as sick as your secrets.
Thank You Linda. This is going to Help so much with my Healing from my HAC day's in the late 80's. Thank you for Teaching us to have FREEDOM/ TRUTH/ COURAGE!!!!
I wonder now if Cindy, her sister, will finally leave the church after her husband, Jack Schaap, got caught with a teenage girl. I hope she finds freedom, too.
Just watched it again, and just want to thank Linda again for the courage it took to do this. You have suffered much, but I am hopeful that through your suffering/story you will be able to help others. I would also be interested in knowing where you stand now regarding your faith.
Up to my late 20s, I too attended 'fundamental', "bible-believing', 'independent', 'KJV' churches led by Hyles-protege pastors.. I always knew there were things that seem not right... There were pains I had to unnecessarily endure and false guilts that I had to unnecessarily bear... Thank God I reached a point that I decided enough is enough!
Thank you Linda for your courage to speak the truths and not selling out to the lies and falsehoods...so much of this sounds so familiar in the family I had ..we all went to Hyles cult ..my parents and9 of us ..i stood up for myself and most importantly my children and it cost me dearly..my parents were part of the sex ring and bought Jack hyles ways of control and abuse was so so normal and acceptable... Therefor we all know what NEVER TO DO ,for those of us that survived and walked away..thank you and others for standing up and exposing this for all 2 see for what it really is. A CULTIC REGIME!!!!
Freedom, truth, courage - three words Linda now can use. As the new pastor, her brother-in-law, has been exposed involved in the same vile and filthy conduct as her dad and her brother, this videon is even more a testimony AGAINST the evil of this cult.
When looking for a new church we visited two that were definitely Jack Hyles’ worshippers. We never went back. I respect my pastor’s position, but do not worship him. They need to study the life of the Apostle Paul who endured so much for the cause of Christ. Men are men and all living in robes of flesh so prone to sin. We need to pray for pastors a lot, but not put them on pedestals.
Wow! You were there for 6 years? My best friend was at HAC for a semester, and I was there for 2 years ('83; '84). We still talk about our experience and how it still has an affect on our lives 40 years later. I finally left when my door room leader exposed to me how people get caught with magazines, books and music. They're told to go through our dresser drawers and personal items.
I was raised in a church that did everything with this church I went to the collage for little over a year....I left there broken more spiritually then anything ....
Linda's talk demonstrated all her values. I was reminded of a wonderful quote I read in at a scary time in my life - "Do you not understand that what it was that died on the cross was FEAR?" It took such courage to share her story and to show the freeing power of truth - a rather rare virtue these days. Thank you, Linda, for being who you are.
I dread posting this but it's people like the late Jack Hyles who have given the Lord Jesus Christ a bad name: this is both sad and aggravating; and not to mention that they've sullied the beloved King James Bible. 😢
Amen. Hyles has done more harm then good to not only the Faith but also the I.F.B. I hope he repented of his sins before he died, otherwise you can be sure he busted Hell wide open.
Thank you, Linda, for exposing this fraudulent Christianity. I for many years attended an IFB church and *that* was my self-identity. When the Lord allowed me to see my error and pride, that was the end of my "fundamentalist" years, and the beginning of my true walk with God. Glad to hear that you have escaped from the Cult of Hyles worship!
Wow Linda - very powerful. I'm so proud of you!!! It is truly amazing that you not only survived, but have thrived and become such an amazingly courageous woman. You look so beautiful and poised - I have nothing but the greatest respect for all the work you have done to get to this point. FABULOUS!!! PS: Listening to you made me appreciate even more my "normal" happy childhood with my wonderful parents and siblings.
I for one am so thankful for the ministry of Bro Hyles, He taught us how to pray for power, and yield to the Holy Spirit, Bro Hyles taught us to win others to Jesus, He taught us to live for others, and to be faithful to church, He taught us the importance of ones duty and to stand for right. He reminded us to love our family and country. He taught us to just keep on keeping on, and don't worry what people say. I taught us a person is known for who they like and dislike. Bro Hyles taught us that great minds talk about ideas and good minds talk about things and weak minds talk about PEOPLE. so true.Read more Show less
My heart goes out to you and all of the other victims that have gone through your father's church. You truly are a woman of courage. I am so sorry you were robbed of a childhood in the name of God and saving America. It is time for the madness to end and you have done that with your story. I hope you do write a book about your experiences. I will be the first to buy!! I do pray fro reconciliation with your family - it will take time but I pray it will happen!!
I don't know anything about your Father & im sorry for the abuse you endured. However, i pray 🙏 you didn't give up on Jesus because I promise he had NOTHING in that.
no. it is a church very similar, practically identical. I attended both as one of their preacher's kids..... she is very valid in what she says.... I lived it 100%. Amazing woman.
Lucid Light We are also supposed to expose the evil works of darkness. The elders or other people of the church are supposed to go to the offender first, then take two or three others to him, then if that didn’t work to the church. None of this happened. If one did confront Hyles they were then ridiculed and attacked.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 Right - of darkness. But too many disgruntled wanted to hurt Jack Hyles. They blamed him for their failures. There's a right way and a wrong way to expose sin. FIRST, there must be two or three witnesses. That probably never happened. If there was sin and no witnesses, then we have to trust God who is the avenger of those who have suffered injustice. I never saw evidence that God was judging Jack Hyles. Therefore, I discount all the rumors. I must if I am going to be just. The damage to the cause of Christ caused by the disgruntled people who believed rumors and spread them is FAR greater than the damage that would have occurred if Jack Hyles had indeed committed adultery and had gotten caught and punished!
I went to that church and also attended Hammond Baptist High School in 1974. Dave Hyles was the youth pastor at the church and was a major douche. Linda, though I didn't know her well, was a beautiful and friendly young lady.
Most people who never attend a Hyles church can never fully understand the extent of the abuse. I have, so I KNOW what she says is true. If anything, she's being quite charitable in her descriptions. If she's trying to profit off of it, fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean what she's doing is "fake."
James Dare Look up all the news reports that were done on Hyles and the number of his preachers and “bus ministry” workers that went to prison for molesting kids.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 We'll see either your record of sins on judgment day, or not much that will survive the trial by fire of your works at the judgment seat of Christ.
my former pastor grew up in Hyle's Church. He idolized him and he tried running his ministry like Hyles did. Sadly, he spent all of the church's money trying to emulate FBC of Hammond.
Mine too, my x pastor now has a huge photo of himself with his arm around Jack hyles, he also was trained by hyles and two of the deacons also, he always idolizes hyles in his preaching, sicken, I've left after two and half year's , sad!
I am speechless! I had no idea of any of this, BUT, now I see that such behavior is quite prevalent in the IFB churches! How very sad! Oh! My! I don't think I will get to sleep tonight! Such hypocrisy! Wolves in sheep's clothing, indeed! Ravening wolves these are! The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Psalm 58:3 (King James Bible)
I attended FBC Hammond for a time. Jack Hyles was a great speaker but was like Hitler. He did what he pleased and really destroyed a lot of people who believed in him. He was really evil. And his son was just as evil. It is a miracle Jacks daughters survived such horrible people.
So what do you believe? I'm curious what changed. I know you say you left a cult and I applaud you because Ic was part of it too, but what has God revealed to you personally that was a lie regarding biblical principles? God has shown me a lot since I left the IFBC scene and I'm just curious what you now do. Do you still attend church or do you not believe at all?
*Stacy* I can't speak for her, & s/one can correct me if I'm wrong, but I had heard (read online), that she does not attend church a/where. So many people once they get wrapped up in an organization that has been toxic, come away very disillusioned and walk away from it all, altogether.
This video had an impact on thousands of people - including myself - who went to HAC or was part of FBC. Though this was therapeutic for Linda, she went right back into seclusion, and never fully offered any details of the "cult" she was freed from. I can assure you that she reads all the posts, even though she has remained reclusive since this video was posted 12 years ago.
OMG. OMG. Often wondered where Dave Hyles learned his behavior. Now, I know. I feel ill. All those years I was at HAC and FBC were one big lie. Thank G0d I left years ago.
Thats why churches should be under the rule of a plurality of elders. A dictator like Hyles would have no chance to emerge. There is no such thing as THE pastor of a church in the NT. You will look in vain to find that
DR. JACK HYLES WAS THE ONE PREACHER THE SATANISTS FEARED THE MOST! JOHN TODD (BORN INTO THE ILLUMINATI, BECAME A CHRISTIAN, SPOKE OUT AND WAS MURDERED) SAID THAT! OF COURSE, THEY WILL TRASH HIS NAME! THE SATANISTS HAVE ALL THE MONEY! I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THIS IS TRUE-DR. JACK HYLES HAS A POWERFUL/RICH ENEMY-satan and his followers! I HAVE A MUCH MORE POWERFUL SAVIOUR-JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!
Rapture Angel it’s also common knowledge that Jesuits world infiltrate churches and try to tear them down by making the Pastor look bad or putting people in the church to destroy the credibility of the church and its leaders. Don’t believe me listen to former Jesuit priest Alberto Rivera who exposed them until they poisoned him in 1997.
He is still the most feared by them. His sermons are still being played on Radio broadcasts and right here on the internet. They gonna be in shock when they see ol Jack Hyles riding down out of heaven on a white horse during Armageddon with the rest of the saints. Oh yeah, out in front of those galloping horses will be King Jesus!
Linda: what would your father say to you if he was alive? Where is your salvation testimony? What secret things will be revealed at the white throne judgement about you Linda?
She is probably not even saved. Just because your a preacher's kid does not make you saved. There are so many lies from Great men of God and great people in general. Like KIng James in England. I pray she does get saved Amen.
Give it a rest will you?? This information is important to be dispensed. I attended HAC back in 1986 and I can tell you that place is a cult. Most religion is.
this is crazy! I feel so sad for her : ( I go to an ifb church, but it is nothing like what she described hers was like. I have been to the church she is talking about, & they are 100000000 % crazy. they worship a man who is dead & now worship their current pastor. who is actually no longer their pastor because he was caught having an sex with a 16 year old girl. that whole church/school is insane.
How many books will make you rich like your father talking about yourself,?? I haven't heard you mention once to let the word of God and the Holy SPIRIT direct them into the truth of the Word of God and to search the scriptures , where God said let no man deceive you. Don't forget to direct them to The Word of God ,and to remember the TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST. The Truth Will Set You free,take heed to his warnings, many will come in his name and DECIEVE many.
Early Day- You don't even know what you are talking about. I went to the college. As a student, I served at that college. If you only lived on campus as I did, you would understand. I learned very little about the word of God.... and everything about the philosophy of Jack Hyles. It was mind control and I am thankful to have been able to walk away from that cult. Linda Murphrey needed to not only expose the mess she had endured but also to warn people not to blindly follow men. Imagine how painful her life was. And- what of her brother, Dave Hyles, that followed his dad's shadow into secret sin and mind control? In fact, I am close to a woman that Dave Hyles used and almost destroyed her life. Finally, what of his daughter Cindy? She married the successor of Hyles Anderson College; Jack Schaap. Mr. Schaap is still serving a prison term sentence for his sexual crimes against a minor student at Hyles Anderson College. You have no idea what you are talking about Early Day. Mrs. Murphey scratches the surface of the private sins she endured. Yet, there were many public sins that so many endured from this cult. I am thankful for her testimony and I hope she is well.
@@davidlynn5385 "I went to the college." As if that makes you an authority? Thousands attended that college. Many drank koolaid, but it was not offered by Jack Hyles; it was offered by Satan who used people's misunderstanding of what God was doing THROUGH Jack Hyles. Those who were looking out for themselves clearly drank the koolaid. Those who were devoted to God and His Word and genuinely winning others to Christ, received many a blessing. I received over twenty years of blessings. I still go soul winning. I have not gone liberal or changed in any way, other than a mature understanding of the frailties of man, and have gained a LOT of forbearance, longsuffering and patience - even for those who were misguided by Satan and their own misunderstandings. The one thing I don't do that I was trained to do is I don't do a lot of promotion. I don't see that in scripture. But doctrinally, I am the same - well, actually stronger, but with a patience that one does not have the luxury to experience much of in a high pressure training ground for strong preachers.
@@libertypastor1307 Well Pastor Liberty, if you had a different experience at the college...good for you! But, I assure you that Linda Hyles, Cindy Hyles, Joy Evans (Dr. Evans daughter) and so many others can sit you down and make your ears burn. I applaud Linda for coming forward. I hope that one day, she will turn her eyes back on the Saviour and recognize that IFB pastors like her father, her brother and her brother in law, are puppets that sell out for power, domination and recognition. They wrest the scriptures and have private interpretations which lead many into sin with them. Serve the Lord for love and gratitude.... not DUTY!
@@libertypastor1307 Girl STFU! You been on every comment section with your bs! Go and do your research and educate yourself because you're clearly indoctrinated and brain washed by CULT leaders! How about you stop going to church, take your head out of Hyle's ass and actually get factual information for yourself! You are controlled by your ridiculous ideologies and false teachings! Wake up and quit listening to your money hungry pastors!
I think Hyles is blamed for more than he actually did, if Hyles was as bad as his daughter made him out to be it would be news that would be more available and not covered up. FBC of Hammond is not a cult, it may have been going bad under Schaap, but it is a good church as to what I understand
This was news that was available, broadcast nationally in “A Current Affair” and locally in “Preying from the Pulpit.” It was also written about by Voyle Glover, Victor Nischik, and Robert Sumner. Hyles trained his people in “Jack Hyles on Justice” never to believe an accusation against him, which is very cultish. Without the Internet, it was easier to keep a lid on things. (Baptist preachers had no accountability.) But even with the Internet, and all the information out there-like Linda's testimony-people like you are still denying the truth. I don't think you know how much that hurts.
Clarence Sexton's Crown, I know for a fact Hyles was just another sinner, and it is possible he could have had fallen short in sexual areas, but as far as I know (I am not omniscient) Hyles was a genuine man used by God. But I do know that the IFB movement is a very genuine and legit body. And praise God, that He uses sinners from the uttermost to the gutter most. I don't want to come off as denying but I know I will come off as it a bit, but if Hyles actually was physically sexually immoral it would have been made known in his lifetime
His dealings with Jennie Nischik were absolutely made known in his lifetime. Please watch some of the news broadcasts I've included on my channel. Thank you.
I take it you are not a fan of the Independent Fundamental Baptist groups? Do you understand or are you familiar with the fact they are not all the same and we are set up the way we are to separate ourselves from complete corruption? I hope you would be able to find the good churches of the IFB's
You have responded without taking the time to familiarize yourself with those news broadcasts. You really should watch them. How old are you? Do you have a degree from a fundamentalist institution as many of us do? Do you always make up your mind before you've researched a matter carefully? Please familiarize yourself with those news broadcasts. You owe it to yourself to do so. Sincerely.
I would question the integrity and validity of any women making her life’s work traveling around making slanderous statements about her dead father. Ma’am where were you when your father was alive and was able to answer the accusations that you have made? I never met or knew her father. I was familiar with his name and where he was a pastor and that’s the extent of my knowledge of the man. He could have been guilty and he could not have been. My point is that there’s something very “off” about a grown woman living in victim hood and slandering a dead man. Whatever is motivating her isn’t doing anything for those within Christianity who are genuinely spending their lives trying to make a difference. Maybe she should start a Christian “Me Too “ movement and teach others how to be victims for the rest of their lives. 😂
@@davidlynn5385 Then act like it. Do justly. Withhold judgment when you have not been given power to make a judgment and have been given evidence and allowed the accused to face the accuser. Any bitter person cansay anything about a living or deceased person, family or not. That doesn't make what they say so. I knew all the parties involved in this situation, and I give the benefit of the doubt to all, but do not allow any to besmirch any of the others in my mind without proof that passes the shadow of a doubt standard. I also reserve TO MYSELF any suspicions of wrong doing without proof. Hence, I speak out against all accusations that are not accompanied with proof, evidence and testimony that can withstand scrutiny. Bro. Hyles is in heaven, and there is not one sin recorded against him. If you truly know the Saviour, the same is true with your record in heaven; so why do we wallow in the mud of slander so much? There are a few things I hope I learned to not do from Bro. Hyles' mistakes in ministry, but they are mistakes in my judgment, so I keep the lessons to myself, but I teach and preach the lessons through biblical principles, not by attacking him. This prevents me from sitting in the seat of the scornful and enables me to enjoy all the good memories I have.

Don't tell me what to do. 2) The bible says in John 7:24 to judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 3) Paul the apostle named specific individuals like Alexander the coppersmith that did him wrong in 2nd Timothy 4:14 and others. 4) Don't defend people that need to be exposed so that others may fear. 5) Pastor, learn your bible!
*Gunsquawk* Wow, quite an indictment there guy...and with nothing to substantiate your open rebuke, wow. And what's this...you're playing *GOD* ? Yeah...you seemingly also know she's not a Christian, right? *SMH* PS: Define what a "great preacher" is by the way. Enlighten us all if you would.
Gunsquawk 44 maybe you need to repent of your baseless accusation against her. She was the man’s daughter and too many other people corroborated his whoremonging . His son is even worse. Shame on you.
@Randy Dockins Allow me to weigh in on your "one of the greatest soulwinners" comment... I sat under his preaching for four full years, and *ALSO* heard him on occasion when he spoke out of town. You know what... Not even *ONCE* did Bro Hyles have a convert walk the aisle to profess faith or get baptised as far as I know.
Hyles cheated on everyone when he had sex with Mrs. Nischtik, a deacon's wife....so he's a huge liar and sinned massively in front of his church, do you also think Jim Bakker is a man of god too? get a clue
I've seen her dad preach many times and even went to dinner with him a few times. I attended Hyles-Anderson College as well. I did not make it a whole year before I was kicked out for having my own courage to do the things that I thought God wanted me to do and not what this cult wanted me to do. Theres a vibe these types of preachers give me and I new very early on that something was off. Thank you for having the courage to use your voice and speak out against these evil men and their cults.
joseph farrell...
what do you think about the bob jones sr college one of my pastors went to hyles church as well
its hard sometimes to know who is good or bad.... i was a member of an independent baptist church just like 80 percent of the so called tv evangelist are crooked
@@gfinnstrom100% of tv evangelists are snakes
I would like to know the secrets. But thank you for sharing. I left FBC of Hammond a year after Jack Schaap was put in prison and I always wondered why your sister never spoke up and I knew she had to know that something was going on... I was good friends with the girl he was imprisoned for sexually abusing. There is a peace of my past that I simply can’t remember and I’m desperately trying to uncover it. Thank you for shining light on the truth. I too share your three values. Much love ❤️
I left in 2011. They got me since I was 5, was there for 24 years. I’ve been free ever since.
Like all religious groups, Independent Baptist Churches have radicals. I have been a member of a Independent Baptist church for many years. I have seen a few of them that are associated with the one Linda is talking about and they are all like that. My church and another one I have been a member of are absolutely nothing like this. We worship God. Our pastor leads us in the way we should go, but if we fall we are not ostracized. The pastor is our friend and we love him and don't worship him!!!
Your church is very fortunate to have a pastor like your pastor.
Agreed! There are always bad apples but there are many, many who are the exception who do right and I praise God for that!
II am truly blessed after reading all of these comments. I have been in IBC all of my life and have never been in a church like this. I guess there are all kinds in every denomination. Yes, I have been very blessed and sorry for those who have gone through situations such as this or similar to this.
I was a student at HAC for part of one year. Within the first month I knew something was wrong. I'd gone to HAC to study the Bible, but instead with studied Jack Hyles. We were required to be members of the FBC of Hammond, Indiana. We were required to requite children for his Sunday school. In fact, there is a video here on youtube of this man claiming that his students were his children and his army. I was there for the mess in 1989. All of us who left (over half of the student body) were considered the problem that God had eradicated from the school when in fact we had witnessed the atrocities this man generated. I could go on and on.
Thank you Linda for standing up for what is right and presenting your story.
Well praise the Lord he moved you on from there. God bless you with this beautiful truth/Jesus message www.fireandhammer.com/fifty_reasons_why.htm
My former pastor, Steven Froelke (I'm sure you know the name as he was a toady of Hyles and new sits on the board at HAC and is a deacon I believe at FBC now) was and is an insider as our church was an extension of FBC. Looking back on my childhood years, I can't believe I didn't see the nonsense that went on being around Hyles and Froelke so often. I didn't believe it until a good friend of mine who was a student was assaulted on campus for leaving without permission to purchase medication when he was sick. I can't believe I wanted to go to college there "to find a husband"....What nonsense I was taught! Thankfully, my break wasn't nearly as traumatic as Linda's...
*Stacy* A "toady"? Either way, Steve Froelke is not on any "board"...not sure what you meant by that...and an "insider"? Victory Baptist was no "extension" of FBC Hammond(???). You've now thrown out *FOUR* words/terms that really make little to no sense. Lastly, you make reference to some sort of "nonsense". Forgive me, but what you've said holds little to no water, *AND* you didn't believe "IT" which means what? *SMH*
@James Dare Don't take *ME* wrong, but exactly what "accusations" in particular do you declare to be false? The mentality (at least used to be), was that if you didn't *SEE* it happen, then it *DIDN'T* happen. Blind loyalty was a basic tenant that flowed from *HAC* and *FBCH* . Did all do so? No, but it was woven into the hearts and minds of the students, & overflowed to the congregants as a whole at FBCH.
I was also there in 1989.
This church completely destroyed our large family and my best friend's family. My dad became completely brainwashed by the cultic mentality and all of our lives were changed. I went to school with Linda. I remember her being very quiet. I think I knew back then that it was hard for her. How I wish we had never seen that church! Many lives ruined! His son, Dave, was a disaster to my brothers. None of them go to church now. He caused so much scandal to souls. Thank you, Linda, for speaking out. Only one who has been through the situation can truly understand what you have gone through.
Thank you for speaking out. Thank you for Truth. I walked away at 46 after 30 years of brainwashing.
Good for you
Thank you Linda for coming forward with this truth. I truly took a lot of courage. I so appreciate your story. I share in your pain, as I was victimized at FBC, and your father was part of the cover up. I have had a life of pain and scars from the time this happened to me in my early teen years. Finally, someone on the inside to tell the world what I experienced first hand.
Hello Linda, I remember you. I was a student a Hyles Anderson for 2 yrs. I always thought you were very pretty & taken. I had asked your little sister to sit with me in church once. Your dad indicated to her not to. I never understood why & thought he saw a flaw in me, until now. Now I think he somehow knew I wouldn’t stand for his sinful secrets & didn’t want me close to Cindy. I've been married 34 yrs & never cheated on my wife. I'm sorry for your pain. Thank you for your courageous sharing.
Wow … thank you Linda for telling your story. I grew up in IFB churches across the Gulf Coast where your dad was one of the heroic voices of the tribe. As a teenager and a PK, my brothers and I began to question and suspicion all the hidden secrets of the movement, as you so courageously describe - and eventually, after years of keeping our own small town secrets and denying truth, we made our Exodus from the tribe at around my age 40, with my little family intact. Decades of therapy and healing have followed of course. The residual pain and suffering has not been nearly for my family what you have experienced, but I thank God for the courage to speak up and to stand up for freedom and truth, and to finally move forward. Blessings as you continue to share your brave story! 🕊
I read about what happened in Fbc Hammond in the article titled The Saddest Story ever told by the late Dr.Bob Sumner in the Biblical Evangelist May 1989 issue but not fully convinced about Hyles affair.After hearing Ms.Linda Murphrey speak about her life the doubts in my mind about the whole vanished.Thank you Ms.Murphrey for your courage to speak up.
Everyone in an IFB church needs to see this. Especially the ones that worship Jack Hyles.
I once did, from '87--'91, here in my hometown. I had previously attended a small IFB church overseas in the military that was quite nice, but the larger one here was the typical "pastor is infallible" type, and among other things, I got real tired of the browbeating, etc. I just up and left, and it was like I'd left a cult. When I encountered the asst. pastor in a store one day, he didn't even talk to me. Ran into the treasurer another time, and he asked where I'd been...No "Are you OK?" or anything, just wanted an explanation. Phoniest bunch of jerks, that's what they were.
@Ric McGuire I know this for a fact. I came from New Testament Christian Churches of America, Inc., and that is exactly what they do, they worship the man and not Jesus.
Thank you for being courageous to speak the truth. I admire that!
I grew up with Linda, I remember often senseing an under current in her that seemed different from her siblings. I'm so pleased for her that she escaped, that she learned who she is, learned what is real, & that she is not just surviving, but is thriving. Blessings on you Linda!
Thank you Linda for exposing the truth and answering any questions I had as a child. Unfortunately your dads teachings have such a strong hold on my parents lives still to this day I can’t have a relationship with them. I hope this helps others despite the pain this religion causes
I am so pleased to see this, and to know that Linda is healthy and happy, and is so free and so courageous today! God bless you, Linda, and you are blessing so many of us today with this!
I broke away 2 years ago from a FBC that the pastor was trained by hyles on how to run his church, and this pastor worships hyles, has a large portiat of the two of them hanging in his house, I'm still experiencing PTSD and have not been able to begin to look for a new home church, it is a cult, and it crushes the spirit !
Was the Pastor after Jack Schaap, Pastor Wilkerson, as bad as Hyles do you think? He comes across more mild.....
@@ashlieleavelle Wilkerson is a polar opposite from the videos I’ve watched. More charismatic than baptist.
I’m a member of a fundamental baptist church whose focus is Christ; not the pastor. I do miss the old time hellfire and damnation preaching along with the stricter standards, but man worship has no place in any church.
I survived HAC. I was there the year that her dad died, 2001. I had never faced so much hatred, sexism, and racism as when I walked in those doors. Being judged because of my race, it was painful. I was denied a lot because of it. I got a lot of negative attention because of it. I had to leave after my first year for my own sanity. If you want a degree that you can't use out in the real world, go there. I grew up in FBC under her dad's reign. My adulthood was under her brother-in-law's reign until he was locked up. I left in 2011.
So glad you left! People need to understand HAC and the Baptist church are a cult!
I was saved after attending an IFB church 3 times. I grew up in another denomination who taught me FACTS about God, but not about FAITH in God.
The IFB church taught me the “ rest of the story”
This church had a great pastor who loved people and just preached and lived out the Bible. That church accepted me as newly saved , but still rough around the collar.
I dont know about Jack Hyles. We’ll find out one day. I do know I enjoyed his messages .
Not all IFB churches are cultic , but some are. I do know there was a Hyles- worshipping church near me that used to be a good church but they got real mean spirited and would even steal our bus kids by getting there right before us on sunday and basically kidnapping the kids by convincing them to go with them and not even telling the parents it was a different church . Very ungodly people. That doesn’t mean they are all bad. I went to a good one.
The church I go to now I describe as IB.
I was saved in an IFB church. I was grounded in the Word of God in an IFB church. I went to IFB camps. Took my kids to IFB church and camps. Atttended IFB College. I dearly LOVE brother Hyles. I DO NOT WORSHIP JACK HYLES. I'm so broken hearted to see (feel) the hatred oozing through many of these posts. There are no perfect pastors or churches. I AM NOT IN ANY WAY CONDONING BROTHER HYLES SIN (IF, IF, IF , IF) he is guilty. If you say I am, you are wrong. Sin is sin no matter who is committing it. I spent hours counseling David Hyles. I saw him weep. I spoke with his wife of 30 years much of that time. That boy has paid dearly for his sin. Let me leave you with this thought. (Again I AM NOT CONDONING ANYBODY'S SIN). Consider the sweet psalmist of Israel. He had an affair (committed adultery) with the wife of one of his mighty me while he was on the battlefield defending David's kingdom. He tried to cover his sin and when that didn't work, he had Uriah the Hittite murdered on the battlefield. Man THIS GUY WAS A DIRT BAG! I wouldn't want to read ANYTHING this guy had to say! Yet, yet, yet, yet... JESUS was referred to as "The son of David" and didn't object!
I attended a sister church to this one in my area, who's pastor frequently praised Jack Hyles. When I look at tapes of Mr Hyles, my pastor was mimicing him! Some 20 years later, I lost a child to a drug overdose, and another to the world. They were angry with church. I will forever live with the knowledge that I was a part of a cult. I gave up my time, family time, and happiness to do Gods Will. I know now it was all a waste of time. I still attend church, but it has a different meaning for me now. I am no longer identified by what I DONT do, but how I live out the love of Christ in me.
Do not allow a sad experience such as we heard from Señorita Hyles to keep us from serving our
precious Lord. We are to try the spirits and discern if they are from God or not.
Stay strong in the Lord..
I have been a Pastor for 50 years and have seen many casualties among ministry leaders. God cannot be mocked. Pray for one another if you know how to reach the heart of God💒🙏
You are in a dream world because you did not go through what we went through at that church. That church destroyed our family. This was not just a sad experience. It was demonic. My father was the first graduating president of Hyles Anderson College. I went to high school with Linda. I can tell you stories for hours.
😢
Linda,
Thank you for speaking out. May your freedom, truth, and courage inspire others to freedom, truth, and courage.
To those still inside this organization: remember, you are only as sick as your secrets.
As somebody who got out of a Fundamentalist church myself:
Thank you.
I also left one...it was over thirty years ago, and I never looked back.
Thank You Linda. This is going to Help so much with my Healing from my HAC day's in the late 80's. Thank you for Teaching us to have FREEDOM/ TRUTH/ COURAGE!!!!
I wonder now if Cindy, her sister, will finally leave the church after her husband, Jack Schaap, got caught with a teenage girl. I hope she finds freedom, too.
Just watched it again, and just want to thank Linda again for the courage it took to do this. You have suffered much, but I am hopeful that through your suffering/story you will be able to help others. I would also be interested in knowing where you stand now regarding your faith.
Up to my late 20s, I too attended 'fundamental', "bible-believing', 'independent', 'KJV' churches led by Hyles-protege pastors.. I always knew there were things that seem not right... There were pains I had to unnecessarily endure and false guilts that I had to unnecessarily bear... Thank God I reached a point that I decided enough is enough!
Thank you Linda for your courage to speak the truths and not selling out to the lies and falsehoods...so much of this sounds so familiar in the family I had ..we all went to Hyles cult ..my parents and9 of us ..i stood up for myself and most importantly my children and it cost me dearly..my parents were part of the sex ring and bought Jack hyles ways of control and abuse was so so normal and acceptable... Therefor we all know what NEVER TO DO ,for those of us that survived and walked away..thank you and others for standing up and exposing this for all 2 see for what it really is. A CULTIC REGIME!!!!
Powerful speech!
Freedom, truth, courage - three words Linda now can use. As the new pastor, her brother-in-law, has been exposed involved in the same vile and filthy conduct as her dad and her brother, this videon is even more a testimony AGAINST the evil of this cult.
When looking for a new church we visited two that were definitely Jack Hyles’ worshippers. We never went back. I respect my pastor’s position, but do not worship him. They need to study the life of the Apostle Paul who endured so much for the cause of Christ. Men are men and all living in robes of flesh so prone to sin. We need to pray for pastors a lot, but not put them on pedestals.
Hi Linda I went to hyles Anderson starting in 1989 to 1995 but wow have my eyes been opened
Wow! You were there for 6 years? My best friend was at HAC for a semester, and I was there for 2 years ('83; '84). We still talk about our experience and how it still has an affect on our lives 40 years later. I finally left when my door room leader exposed to me how people get caught with magazines, books and music. They're told to go through our dresser drawers and personal items.
@@Thomas1701E yes I know talk about invasion of privacy
@@Thomas1701E thank you so very much for your input
I'm so sad that this girl or any person would experience what her testimony expressed. May Christ have the preeminence in His churches.
I was raised in a church that did everything with this church I went to the collage for little over a year....I left there broken more spiritually then anything ....
Linda's talk demonstrated all her values. I was reminded of a wonderful quote I read in at a scary time in my life - "Do you not understand that what it was that died on the cross was FEAR?" It took such courage to share her story and to show the freeing power of truth - a rather rare virtue these days. Thank you, Linda, for being who you are.
Linda, thank you so much for all your strength.
Thank you so much Linda!
I dread posting this but it's people like the late Jack Hyles who have given the Lord Jesus Christ a bad name: this is both sad and aggravating; and not to mention that they've sullied the beloved King James Bible. 😢
I could not agree with you more. Thanks for posting this.
Amen. Hyles has done more harm then good to not only the Faith but also the I.F.B.
I hope he repented of his sins before he died, otherwise you can be sure he busted Hell wide open.
Linda how was your relationship with your Mom after you left? Did you guys have a relationship before she passed away?
She won't respond. This was a hit piece. And you bit.
This makes me sick. Even after walking away from this cult 10 years ago… the religious trauma is still very present.
Thank you, Linda, for exposing this fraudulent Christianity. I for many years attended an IFB church and *that* was my self-identity. When the Lord allowed me to see my error and pride, that was the end of my "fundamentalist" years, and the beginning of my true walk with God. Glad to hear that you have escaped from the Cult of Hyles worship!
Wow Linda - very powerful. I'm so proud of you!!! It is truly amazing that you not only survived, but have thrived and become such an amazingly courageous woman. You look so beautiful and poised - I have nothing but the greatest respect for all the work you have done to get to this point. FABULOUS!!!
PS: Listening to you made me appreciate even more my "normal" happy childhood with my wonderful parents and siblings.
I for one am so thankful for the ministry of Bro Hyles, He taught us how to pray for power, and yield to the Holy Spirit, Bro Hyles taught us to win others to Jesus, He taught us to live for others, and to be faithful to church, He taught us the importance of ones duty and to stand for right. He reminded us to love our family and country. He taught us to just keep on keeping on, and don't worry what people say. I taught us a person is known for who they like and dislike. Bro Hyles taught us that great minds talk about ideas and good minds talk about things and weak minds talk about PEOPLE. so true.Read more Show less
Hey, Michael, still going for God? I think I know you. God bless you, brother!
My heart goes out to you and all of the other victims that have gone through your father's church. You truly are a woman of courage. I am so sorry you were robbed of a childhood in the name of God and saving America. It is time for the madness to end and you have done that with your story. I hope you do write a book about your experiences. I will be the first to buy!! I do pray fro reconciliation with your family - it will take time but I pray it will happen!!
God Bless you Linda and your family
Powerful, the truth!
I don't know anything about your Father & im sorry for the abuse you endured. However, i pray 🙏 you didn't give up on Jesus because I promise he had NOTHING in that.
no. it is a church very similar, practically identical. I attended both as one of their preacher's kids..... she is very valid in what she says.... I lived it 100%. Amazing woman.
This was only a part of what went on in that church. I grew up in that church, it was scary, my parents were even scared.
LET GOD BE THE JUDGE
ALL GLORY BE TO CHRIST
judge of what explain instead of a blanket comment going no where
Lucid Light We are also supposed to expose the evil works of darkness. The elders or other people of the church are supposed to go to the offender first, then take two or three others to him, then if that didn’t work to the church. None of this happened. If one did confront Hyles they were then ridiculed and attacked.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 Right - of darkness. But too many disgruntled wanted to hurt Jack Hyles. They blamed him for their failures. There's a right way and a wrong way to expose sin. FIRST, there must be two or three witnesses. That probably never happened. If there was sin and no witnesses, then we have to trust God who is the avenger of those who have suffered injustice.
I never saw evidence that God was judging Jack Hyles. Therefore, I discount all the rumors. I must if I am going to be just.
The damage to the cause of Christ caused by the disgruntled people who believed rumors and spread them is FAR greater than the damage that would have occurred if Jack Hyles had indeed committed adultery and had gotten caught and punished!
I went to that church and also attended Hammond Baptist High School in 1974. Dave Hyles was the youth pastor at the church and was a major douche. Linda, though I didn't know her well, was a beautiful and friendly young lady.
Are you the same Linda Murphrey who started the Augusta School in GA?
Most people who never attend a Hyles church can never fully understand the extent of the abuse. I have, so I KNOW what she says is true. If anything, she's being quite charitable in her descriptions. If she's trying to profit off of it, fine, but that doesn't necessarily mean what she's doing is "fake."
James Dare Look up all the news reports that were done on Hyles and the number of his preachers and “bus ministry” workers that went to prison for molesting kids.
@@heavenlyguitar5913 We'll see either your record of sins on judgment day, or not much that will survive the trial by fire of your works at the judgment seat of Christ.
My family was destroyed at this church. Many families were destroyed.
my former pastor grew up in Hyle's Church. He idolized him and he tried running his ministry like Hyles did. Sadly, he spent all of the church's money trying to emulate FBC of Hammond.
Praise God least he tried. For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Proverbs 24:16
Mine too, my x pastor now has a huge photo of himself with his arm around Jack hyles, he also was trained by hyles and two of the deacons also, he always idolizes hyles in his preaching, sicken, I've left after two and half year's , sad!
I am speechless! I had no idea of any of this, BUT, now I see that such behavior is quite prevalent in the IFB churches! How very sad! Oh! My! I don't think I will get to sleep tonight! Such hypocrisy! Wolves in sheep's clothing, indeed! Ravening wolves these are!
The wicked are estranged from the womb:
they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Psalm 58:3 (King James Bible)
His pride is enough to keep him out of Heaven
Check out the book Preacher Boy by Jeffrey Smith for a story of what life is like in a Hyles-following IBF church. Sad.
I attended FBC Hammond for a time. Jack Hyles was a great speaker but was like Hitler. He did what he pleased and really destroyed a lot of people who believed in him. He was really evil. And his son was just as evil. It is a miracle Jacks daughters survived such horrible people.
God bless you www.fireandhammer.com/fifty_reasons_why.htm
Not only is David Hyles a serial adulterer, he's also likely a child killer.
His son is much more evil.
So what do you believe? I'm curious what changed. I know you say you left a cult and I applaud you because Ic was part of it too, but what has God revealed to you personally that was a lie regarding biblical principles? God has shown me a lot since I left the IFBC scene and I'm just curious what you now do. Do you still attend church or do you not believe at all?
*Stacy* I can't speak for her, & s/one can correct me if I'm wrong, but I had heard (read online), that she does not attend church a/where. So many people once they get wrapped up in an organization that has been toxic, come away very disillusioned and walk away from it all, altogether.
@@Kman. very sad. God is still real!
This video had an impact on thousands of people - including myself - who went to HAC or was part of FBC. Though this was therapeutic for Linda, she went right back into seclusion, and never fully offered any details of the "cult" she was freed from. I can assure you that she reads all the posts, even though she has remained reclusive since this video was posted 12 years ago.
well f dat explains no one is righteous. dats explains we ned a savior.
please tell others about the love of Christ.
😢
OMG. OMG. Often wondered where Dave Hyles learned his behavior. Now, I know.
I feel ill. All those years I was at HAC and FBC were one big lie.
Thank G0d I left years ago.
I'm so sorry Linda.
Video explains more of the facts: ruclips.net/video/oss0dbKvb3U/видео.html
I escaped ifb cultish behavior. Looking back now, Hyles was a total Jim jones…
Thats why churches should be under the rule of a plurality of elders. A dictator like Hyles would have no chance to emerge. There is no such thing as THE pastor of a church in the NT. You will look in vain to find that
no, It's first baptist in hammond, IN
DR. JACK HYLES WAS THE ONE PREACHER THE SATANISTS FEARED THE MOST! JOHN TODD (BORN INTO THE ILLUMINATI, BECAME A CHRISTIAN, SPOKE OUT AND WAS MURDERED) SAID THAT! OF COURSE, THEY WILL TRASH HIS NAME! THE SATANISTS HAVE ALL THE MONEY! I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THIS IS TRUE-DR. JACK HYLES HAS A POWERFUL/RICH ENEMY-satan and his followers! I HAVE A MUCH MORE POWERFUL SAVIOUR-JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!
Rapture Angel it’s also common knowledge that Jesuits world infiltrate churches and try to tear them down by making the Pastor look bad or putting people in the church to destroy the credibility of the church and its leaders. Don’t believe me listen to former Jesuit priest Alberto Rivera who exposed them until they poisoned him in 1997.
how do you know satanists didn't give Hyles good press to make him look like a good guy?
@@allenfsanchez9572 if the press made him, tell them to make another Jack Hyles.
He is still the most feared by them. His sermons are still being played on Radio broadcasts and right here on the internet. They gonna be in shock when they see ol Jack Hyles riding down out of heaven on a white horse during Armageddon with the rest of the saints. Oh yeah, out in front of those galloping horses will be King Jesus!
@@allenfsanchez9572 SMH, The press was his enemy. Man, are you blind!
Linda: what would your father say to you if he was alive?
Where is your salvation testimony?
What secret things will be revealed at the white throne judgement about you Linda?
That's a copout and a deflection from the issue discussed.
She is probably not even saved. Just because your a preacher's kid does not make you saved. There are so many lies from Great men of God and great people in general. Like KIng James in England. I pray she does get saved Amen.
I don't think she would care what her father would say to her if he was still alive....she has broken free from his atrocities.
Give it a rest will you?? This information is important to be dispensed. I attended HAC back in 1986 and I can tell you that place is a cult. Most religion is.
Sounds like he suffered with Narcissist Personality Disorder (NPD).
I think you're right. Cult leaders tend to be traumatizing narcissists.
He didn’t suffer with it. He made everyone else suffer with it.
What church is this? is it Fairhaven?
no, but same circles. Linda refers to the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Fairhaven Baptist Church is in Chesterton.
Linda, my mother was one of your brother's victims at miller road baptist in Garland, TX 😔
I’m sorry. That man is a demon.
this is crazy! I feel so sad for her : ( I go to an ifb church, but it is nothing like what she described hers was like. I have been to the church she is talking about, & they are 100000000 % crazy. they worship a man who is dead & now worship their current pastor. who is actually no longer their pastor because he was caught having an sex with a 16 year old girl. that whole church/school is insane.
Rachel Briggs
Selling blankets are you?
The secrecy won't stop....there needs to be laws made to stop them.
Not just hammond babtist
How many books will make you rich like your father talking about yourself,??
I haven't heard you mention once to let the word of God and the Holy SPIRIT direct them into the truth of the Word of God and to search the scriptures , where God said let no man deceive you.
Don't forget to direct them to The Word of God ,and to remember the TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST.
The Truth Will Set You free,take heed to his warnings, many will come in his name and DECIEVE many.
Early Day- You don't even know what you are talking about. I went to the college. As a student, I served at that college. If you only lived on campus as I did, you would understand. I learned very little about the word of God.... and everything about the philosophy of Jack Hyles. It was mind control and I am thankful to have been able to walk away from that cult. Linda Murphrey needed to not only expose the mess she had endured but also to warn people not to blindly follow men. Imagine how painful her life was. And- what of her brother, Dave Hyles, that followed his dad's shadow into secret sin and mind control? In fact, I am close to a woman that Dave Hyles used and almost destroyed her life. Finally, what of his daughter Cindy? She married the successor of Hyles Anderson College; Jack Schaap. Mr. Schaap is still serving a prison term sentence for his sexual crimes against a minor student at Hyles Anderson College. You have no idea what you are talking about Early Day. Mrs. Murphey scratches the surface of the private sins she endured. Yet, there were many public sins that so many endured from this cult. I am thankful for her testimony and I hope she is well.
@@davidlynn5385 "I went to the college." As if that makes you an authority? Thousands attended that college. Many drank koolaid, but it was not offered by Jack Hyles; it was offered by Satan who used people's misunderstanding of what God was doing THROUGH Jack Hyles. Those who were looking out for themselves clearly drank the koolaid. Those who were devoted to God and His Word and genuinely winning others to Christ, received many a blessing.
I received over twenty years of blessings. I still go soul winning. I have not gone liberal or changed in any way, other than a mature understanding of the frailties of man, and have gained a LOT of forbearance, longsuffering and patience - even for those who were misguided by Satan and their own misunderstandings.
The one thing I don't do that I was trained to do is I don't do a lot of promotion. I don't see that in scripture. But doctrinally, I am the same - well, actually stronger, but with a patience that one does not have the luxury to experience much of in a high pressure training ground for strong preachers.
@@libertypastor1307 Well Pastor Liberty, if you had a different experience at the college...good for you! But, I assure you that Linda Hyles, Cindy Hyles, Joy Evans (Dr. Evans daughter) and so many others can sit you down and make your ears burn. I applaud Linda for coming forward. I hope that one day, she will turn her eyes back on the Saviour and recognize that IFB pastors like her father, her brother and her brother in law, are puppets that sell out for power, domination and recognition. They wrest the scriptures and have private interpretations which lead many into sin with them. Serve the Lord for love and gratitude.... not DUTY!
Not as rich as Jack Hyles got from STEALING from church members! ...But hey you go on defending your cult leader!
@@libertypastor1307 Girl STFU! You been on every comment section with your bs! Go and do your research and educate yourself because you're clearly indoctrinated and brain washed by CULT leaders! How about you stop going to church, take your head out of Hyle's ass and actually get factual information for yourself! You are controlled by your ridiculous ideologies and false teachings! Wake up and quit listening to your money hungry pastors!
Honey I'm sorry you dad was the devil but Jesus is still God!
You drank her koolaid?
MAGA😔
I think Hyles is blamed for more than he actually did, if Hyles was as bad as his daughter made him out to be it would be news that would be more available and not covered up. FBC of Hammond is not a cult, it may have been going bad under Schaap, but it is a good church as to what I understand
This was news that was available, broadcast nationally in “A Current Affair” and locally in “Preying from the Pulpit.” It was also written about by Voyle Glover, Victor Nischik, and Robert Sumner. Hyles trained his people in “Jack Hyles on Justice” never to believe an accusation against him, which is very cultish. Without the Internet, it was easier to keep a lid on things. (Baptist preachers had no accountability.) But even with the Internet, and all the information out there-like Linda's testimony-people like you are still denying the truth. I don't think you know how much that hurts.
Clarence Sexton's Crown, I know for a fact Hyles was just another sinner, and it is possible he could have had fallen short in sexual areas, but as far as I know (I am not omniscient) Hyles was a genuine man used by God. But I do know that the IFB movement is a very genuine and legit body. And praise God, that He uses sinners from the uttermost to the gutter most. I don't want to come off as denying but I know I will come off as it a bit, but if Hyles actually was physically sexually immoral it would have been made known in his lifetime
His dealings with Jennie Nischik were absolutely made known in his lifetime. Please watch some of the news broadcasts I've included on my channel. Thank you.
I take it you are not a fan of the Independent Fundamental Baptist groups? Do you understand or are you familiar with the fact they are not all the same and we are set up the way we are to separate ourselves from complete corruption? I hope you would be able to find the good churches of the IFB's
You have responded without taking the time to familiarize yourself with those news broadcasts. You really should watch them. How old are you? Do you have a degree from a fundamentalist institution as many of us do? Do you always make up your mind before you've researched a matter carefully? Please familiarize yourself with those news broadcasts. You owe it to yourself to do so. Sincerely.
I would question the integrity and validity of any women making her life’s work traveling around making slanderous statements about her dead father. Ma’am where were you when your father was alive and was able to answer the accusations that you have made? I never met or knew her father. I was familiar with his name and where he was a pastor and that’s the extent of my knowledge of the man. He could have been guilty and he could not have been. My point is that there’s something very “off” about a grown woman living in victim hood and slandering a dead man. Whatever is motivating her isn’t doing anything for those within Christianity who are genuinely spending their lives trying to make a difference. Maybe she should start a Christian “Me Too “ movement and teach others how to be victims for the rest of their lives. 😂
I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BELIEVE THIS STORY. END OF STORY.
Why?
LET those without sin Cast the first stone ! Look yourselves in the mirror REPENT!
You have no idea what you are talking about and you would probably drink the Kool Aid if you were commanded to.
@@davidlynn5385 Umm... I think he is talking about something JESUS said. Do you know Him?
@@libertypastor1307 Yes, I know the Saviour.
@@davidlynn5385 Then act like it. Do justly. Withhold judgment when you have not been given power to make a judgment and have been given evidence and allowed the accused to face the accuser.
Any bitter person cansay anything about a living or deceased person, family or not. That doesn't make what they say so.
I knew all the parties involved in this situation, and I give the benefit of the doubt to all, but do not allow any to besmirch any of the others in my mind without proof that passes the shadow of a doubt standard.
I also reserve TO MYSELF any suspicions of wrong doing without proof.
Hence, I speak out against all accusations that are not accompanied with proof, evidence and testimony that can withstand scrutiny.
Bro. Hyles is in heaven, and there is not one sin recorded against him. If you truly know the Saviour, the same is true with your record in heaven; so why do we wallow in the mud of slander so much?
There are a few things I hope I learned to not do from Bro. Hyles' mistakes in ministry, but they are mistakes in my judgment, so I keep the lessons to myself, but I teach and preach the lessons through biblical principles, not by attacking him.
This prevents me from sitting in the seat of the scornful and enables me to enjoy all the good memories I have.
@@libertypastor1307 !) Don't tell me what to do. 2) The bible says in John 7:24 to judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
3) Paul the apostle named specific individuals like Alexander the coppersmith that did him wrong in 2nd Timothy 4:14 and others. 4) Don't defend people that need to be exposed so that others may fear. 5) Pastor, learn your bible!
This woman is a liar. Dr. Hyles was a great preacher. She obviously harbors bitterness toward him. She needs to be saved.
*Gunsquawk* Wow, quite an indictment there guy...and with nothing to substantiate your open rebuke, wow. And what's this...you're playing *GOD* ? Yeah...you seemingly also know she's not a Christian, right? *SMH*
PS: Define what a "great preacher" is by the way. Enlighten us all if you would.
Gunsquawk 44 maybe you need to repent of your baseless accusation against her. She was the man’s daughter and too many other people corroborated his whoremonging . His son is even worse. Shame on you.
@Randy Dockins Allow me to weigh in on your "one of the greatest soulwinners" comment...
I sat under his preaching for four full years, and *ALSO* heard him on occasion when he spoke out of town. You know what...
Not even *ONCE* did Bro Hyles have a convert walk the aisle to profess faith or get baptised as far as I know.
Hyles cheated on everyone when he had sex with Mrs. Nischtik, a deacon's wife....so he's a huge liar and sinned massively in front of his church, do you also think Jim Bakker is a man of god too? get a clue
If she harbors bitterness towards her own father, you've at least got to wonder why.
