Breaking: Lori Anne Thompson, victim of Ravi Zacharias publishes emotional statement

Ravi Zacharias Victim Posts Victim Impact Statement
Lori Anne Thompson, the most well-known and public of Ravi Zacharias’ victims has posted a detailed victim impact statement on her website, detailing the ways that the late-Christian apologist’s sexual predations destroyed her world and adversely affected her and her family for years. It also details the emotional toll that having Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) repeatedly publicly lie about her has had, even as they publicly insist they’ve committed no wrongdoing.
The release of the statement comes on the heels of RZIM confirming they have no intention of releasing her from a non-disclosure/non-disparagement agreement she signed years ago. This continues a long-standing pattern from RZIM of silencing, victim-blaming, and ignoring her wherever possible. It also comes in the light of the knowledge that the big, allegedly “all-encompassing,” and “independent” investigation into Ravi Zacharias will not include her, despite being the catalyst for exposing his abuses and the public face of his victims.
She writes in part:
I tried to tell a Christian counsellor what was happening to me. He told me not to tell anyone, especially not my husband, that he could see RZ’s draw to me, and that if anyone ever found out, the kingdom of God would be irreparably damaged. I became suicidal. When I heard news of someone in our old church getting a diagnosis of terminal cancer, I longed to be her. We visited Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia for my fortieth birthday and I researched how best to slip off the rocks and succumb to the deep-such was the depths of my despair. It was not just what was happening to me, but whom it was happening by.
and
I was contacted by text, email, and phone from RZ once I had sent a final email to him. He threatened to commit suicide if I broke my silence. I was terrified in that moment and for a long time to come. To my betrayer, telling anyone was betrayal. Abusers not only demand silence-they enforce it.
When I disclosed that same day to my husband what happened to me-he was devastated. Brad had already experienced a protracted history of breach of trust, early abandonment, shaming, and interrupted attachments in his own life. He was crumbling at home with our children and I was in another country in complete collapse. He wasn’t sure he wanted me to come home. I wasn’t sure I would make it home. No one slept that Saturday night and for many years of Saturdays to come. Life as we knew it was ripped apart. We were torn asunder. I can hardly find the words to describe the complete and utter relational, emotional, psychological, and physical implosion.

[@redit5332]

I see no victims here. I see people that consented to this type of behavior. Some say that Ravi groomed his victims. I say that's bullcrap. Why do I feel this way? Each and every one of those "therapists" had the ability to block calls, texts, and services provided to Ravi early on and at any other time, and one of them had sexual relations with Ravi. Did any one of them speak to their supervisor's or owner's of the spa, or police and make complaints each time? If they did not, they have lost all credibility in my eyes. I have been abused before, but never tried to extort money from my abusers. I am not condoning that type of behavior, nor Ravi's behavior. But the women took payments from Ravi/the Ministry. This says much about their character and Ravi's. This is why I will NOT participate in damage control as far as their reputation is concerned nor will I protect the Ministries reputation. I will admit that the Church did right in admitting mistakes were made. Right now God is dealing with Ravi and he will deal with his accusers later and that is why I feel this is a non-issue as Ravi is dead and cannot rebut further accusations made after his death. Ravi's ministry and any other Church in the future needs to learn from this and take precautions against this happening. I don't have any reason to forgive nor be angry at any one party as they have not done me wrong so this is a non-issue for me. There are plenty of Protestants and Godly people doing God's work out there and we should not let it reflect badly on those doing God's work. (Yes, I reviewed the report and this video, and many others before commenting.)

Your attitude and theirs is why Satan has a far greater hold on so many people, and this is why so many will be going to the Lake of Fire and not heaven. If they accept Christs Deity, they will enter heaven, and if they have already accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior, they need to repent, as they will be judged by their actions and words. It will determine what their duties will be in the New Jerusalem on a renewed earth in the Millennium.

Properly feel absolutely sick to my stomach. Truly 🤢🤢 This woman was the 'perfect victim,' for RZ. It's how predators work. To anyone victim blaming, do some damn research on the subject of how the majority of ppl who were abused in childhood will often be abused many more times throughout their lives rather than just spouting off ignorant opinions. My heart is broken for this woman and all of RZ's victims. And to use Gods name to excuse his behaviour is absolutely abhorrent. He should have been a clergyman for the Catholic church, he would have fitted in perfectly. 🤢 I hope this woman, her husband, her children and all of RZ's victims get some sense of justice, and fast.

Three things don't make sense to me: - This is all about "online sexual abuse"? I've never heard of such a thing. - The husband grew sour towards the wife, but she was innocent? I am suspecting that he was concerned about some form of reciprocation on her part? - They cared about justice but then proceeded to sign an NDA and accept a settlement? How does money equate to justice? That seems to me that there isn't as much credibility to this side of story as she wants us to believe. I'm not saying RZ is innocent in all this, but I also don't think it's possible to engage in online discussions with other people unwillingly. One makes a choice to respond and/or engage or not. I just don't understand how you can be "sexually abused" online?

[@syed61475]

This has nothing to do with Christianity or Islam. This is just pure evil. But since you mentioned Islam, it is truly the most beautiful truth about God’s oneness and submission to His will. Jesus (peace be upon him) was a Muslim and called all to submit to his Lord. He was one of the mightiest messengers of God and his guidance and gospel are acknowledged by the Quran. The current Bible is a corrupted hodgepodge of texts from anonymous authors and pagan influences. Current day Christianity is the religion of Paul, not Jesus. Islam is the true monotheistic message of the Prophets of old. Islam can not be judged based on Muslims, just as much as Christianity can’t be judged by RZ or Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Baker or even Hitler, for that matter. Stop with your Islamophobia just because your own faith is insecure and corrupted.

[@wadefrank9065]

@@syed61475 I trust that this women finds her healing and peace in Christ. Sorry to have to inform you that Mohammed was nothing like Jesus. he was a conquering warlord who raped and pillaged, had sex with a nine year old, encouraged abuse of women and owned salves, he married his adopted son's wife and had atrocious morals, 11 wives for him and any other women who availed herself to him for sex. His revelation was received without any witnesses and favoured men and himself. Even in the after life men are promised 72 virgins for sex and 80 young handsome men to serve them with rivers of wine to drink. Why is Allah so obsessed with sex? By the way the old testament is the history of the Jewish people while the new testament is the life and doctrine of Christ and Christianity. It is now common knowledge that there are several differing Korans currently in existence. Mohammed also misquoted the Bible and plagiarized its writings. He thought Mary was part of the trinity. and that Aron was Mary's Father. The Koran is only credible when its adherents remain ignorant of its content and true nature. Any critical analysis of Islam will expose the immoral lifestyle of Mohammed while an analysis of Christ will reveal a merciful loving Lord and Savior who laid down His life for humanity. The only opposition to his death comes from the circular reasoning of Islam and the Koran. Your criticism of Christianity does not anger or affect my faith, I am encouraged by Jesus to love you, while my criticism of Islam requires you to murder me, an instruction of Mohammed that Moslems regularly enforce.

There are a few red flags about her impact statement. Her eloquent statement seemed to reveal that she had enough common sense and self-awareness about her weaknesses and relational damages, yet she put herself in that compromising position (and stayed there for some time). What also doesn't sit well with me was her and her spouse's attempt to sue R.Z as a means to bribe him so that his secrets wouldn’t be exposed. I would think that maybe refraining from threatening R.Z with a bribe and instead of spending that time and energy on rebuilding her marriage / gaining her husband's trust back and seeking pastoral counsel would have been a wiser move. That would have been a more repentant and authentic gesture, especially for one that seems to be so conscious and self-aware. 

 A few important things should be considered, especially in the culture of the #Me2 movement. We have to take responsibility for our actions, both (adult and consenting) male and female. Although victimized by R.Z, this woman still must be held accountable for her actions. She was not forced to cheat on her husband. She was not forced to keep up with the emailing thread. And being as conscious as she seems to let on, why didn’t she allow her husband to become apart of the many conversations she was having with Ravi? She is an adult that seems to have enough common sense to make basic decisions and refuses an opportunity to dishonor her marriage and God. She’s playing 100% victim and not taking enough responsibility for her actions, with that, I can’t agree with. 
 Another red flag: visit the time, 7:45 where she is making this more about herself, rather than empathizing with her husband. “...left my husband drowning in shame and excruciating pain, this lead him to bitterly blame me, even when I struggled under the crushing load and weight of it all.” Bitterly blame her?! What about the weight her husband felt? A father of 5 children and a husband that was lied to and cheated on by his wife? 

 It is good that R.Z is being exposed, and I truly wish that this information was revealed much early on in his “ministry”. I empathize with all of the victims harmed by R.Z, especially the women that we not saved. 

I hope this woman sacks up and stops playing the complete victim.

No doubt that Ravi will have to answer to the Lord for his many failures but, no true Christian should believe that he is also responsible for this woman's sin as well; she is! This woman had better come to terms with this stark reality; we are all accountable to the Lord for our own sin. Getting paid for our sin? She was a grown, married woman with multiple kids and as a "Follower of Christ" she was totally aware that she was sinning against her kids, husband and the Lord, period. Do we, as Christians, really believe that when this woman stands before the Lord to give an account for her life, as will we all, that she can tell the Lord that her adultery was all Ravi's fault? This won't be tolerated and the words will never finish leaving her mouth.. This is not shaming her , it's helping her see the need to repent and be accountable for her sin too.

[@pristinepersians]

@@pristinepersians it was never physical. It was all over over the internet. She sent him nude photos of herself. They originally forgave one another but afterwards, she and husband realized they could cash in and so very conveniently blamed the entire sinful situation on him alone. Typical in this world today, our sin is always justified and blamed on others. She was a grown woman, who knew exactly what she was doing. She betrayed her husband and her family when she broke her marriage vows and she is responsible for her failure in this sad story. She should be more concerned with her reconciliation with the Lord, her husband and her family and less about the money she can exploit. Grown, married adults are responsible for their iniquity; we all are. She has already cashed in big time but now that this has all come to light she now wants to break yet another covenant she made when she signed a nondisclosure agreement, and cash in yet again.

Ok: is that a guilt to accuse someone like that, to vilify him? It is too subtle, the difference between flirting and emotional abuse...how can we define that? If someone uses manipulation, we could put in prison half (or more) of the planet’s men because they flirt with us, the women, and perhaps we don’t like it (from the beginning or we start to change feelings and we don’t like it anymore). You simply cannot vilify a person for falling in love with you or trying to seduce you! If he blakmails, threatens, lies, rape you...this is so clear, you can accuse him.

[@jesusismylordsavior6604]

@Ramzey Sahrt Repentance (changing mind followed by a change of action which naturally should be paired with confessing one's sins to God) is necessary and turning away from said sin. Some example verses: 1 John 1:9 Proverbs 28:13 John 8:10-11 Acts 2:38 Revelations 2:5; 2:16, 3:16, 3:19 Hebrews 10:26-27, 6:4-6 Although many believe in OSAS (Once Saved Always Saved), which is a false doctrine, it doesn't change the fact that sin separates us from God and the Bible clearly states that. No one can snatch us from God, but according to Bible scripture, an unrepentant heart/willful sin does show that it is the person themselves that walks away from God and denies Him and the salvation He freely offers to those who repent and follow Him. (Hebrews 10:26; 6:4-6) True belief will lead to a genuine change, false belief will lead to no change. If you'd like more a Bible verses let me know! May God the Father bless and guide you. Goodnight. P.s. So it will be God that punishes the willful unrepentant sinner.

Pray on this if it confuses you of course, but if you'd like me to pray for you also and to speak on this with you a little longer, than let me know. God bless you. 😊

I am still left wondering what Ravi did. She was a grown women with a whole history of abuse and compliance with others. Didn't she participate in what happen because of her unresolved past? If what he did was so bad, then why is it we are never told what he did? This is a women with a long past of unresolved trauma. Just because she was a victim growing up doesn't mean she has to remain a victim, which she is still viewing herself as. She said nothing here except to tell us of her horrible past, and how much of that is true, we only know because of what she has told us. She is not the only victim here and when I listen to someone who says really nothing about what really happen, I am left still wondering . She only kept pulling at our heart strings of how abused she was and that none of this was her fault because she was so innocent of what was happening (and we still do not know what that happening was). I was hoping to get some real answers about Ravi because it hurt me and others about what he was accused of and I wanted to hear it from a victim, But I am still left wondering about what really happen. This is no innocent little girl, she is a women who has a whole history of compliance,. This is a beautiful women who probably used her looks and femininity and still does. I am sure Ravi was being a man as most men would be when attracted to a beautiful women. I have seen in my life time many an abuse women who wore that label on their shoulder and remained a victim all of their life, never realizing that they are other half of the equation. She never forgave anyone who hurt her in her life, so she remained a victim. This video said nothing. The same nothing we get from a politician when we want them to answer a question. They dance all around it and you are still left with the feeling that nothing was answered. All we got from this women was a lot of emotion, and it can be hard for people to see through that emotion, in order to see the truth. Hate me if you want to, because I have brought up some questions. I wanted answers but got none. Ravi was just a man, who had a God given gift, and fell off the pedestal people put him on. He himself knew he was a sinner all to well. I could hear it in his sermons. He was a sinner like the rest of us , including this women. I feel sorry for Ravi's family, especially Margie. They are victims here too. Innocent victims who had no part in this drama. But I bet because of who they are , they will pulled themselves together and learn to forgive. If we never learn to forgive, we never pull ourselves out of being a victim.

Ms. Thompson repeatedly contacted Ravi. As a result of Ms. Thompson’s repeated messages, Ravi began to consider Ms. Thompson as a friend, in addition to a fan and supporter of RZIM’s mission and his work. Ravi frequently receives death threats originating from these countries and, further, his electronic devices and online accounts have been the target of many hacking attempts. Additionally, his mobile phone has been taken and briefly held by local authorities on a few occasions when visiting Islamic countries. Over the course of the two years following their initial meeting Mrs Thompson attempted to escalate her relationship with Ravi through repeated and persistent BBM messages, e-mails, by sending gifts through the mail, and by traveling from Canada to Georgia on two occasions, but Ravi did not meet her in person. In December 2015 Ms. Thompson obtained Ravi home address under the guise of sending him a Christmas gift. On one visit to Georgia, Ms. Thompson unsuccessfully attempted to contact one of Ravi daughters. Ms. Thompson attempted to meet Ravi on other occasions as well, but Ravi rejected all of these attempts. For example, Ms. Thompson represented that she was a physiotherapist and/or an ergonomist and volunteered to meet Ravi and treat his back pain. Mrs Thompson attempted to coax Ravi into an inappropriate online relationship. Ms. Thompson, at all times without Ravi solicitation, gradually introduced inappropriate topics into conversations with Ravi and then eventually introduced sexual topics. For example, she began expressing her love for Ravi, and then began making sexually suggestive statements. At first, Ms. Thompson sent photographs of herself with her family and pet, but as time went by, she sent photographs of herself stretching and in very scanty clothing and suggestive positions under the guise that these were exercises that would help Ravi back, and then she began sending photographs with less clothing, and ultimately in the nude.

[@democracyforall]

@@giselesantos7238 Not only that Ms thamspon was going round and round to get into his bed to get his money, and no one talks about that. Also he wanted a 2nd wife, and he also made them agree that they were his secret wives sort of stuff. So since they agreed to that marriage or agreement then where is even the sin? Paul says , he does not want anyone who has two or more wives to teach in the church but paul never said you cannot marry more than one wife and if you have more than one wife you are some how not a christian this teaching is not in the bible. Christ was dealing with the jews and he said Do not divorce your wives because the Jews used to be married to many women. Thus the catholic mis interpreted Jesus teaching that you can only have one wife and that is not true. Jesus never told the jews to diverce all the wives except one, he told them not to divorce any. That is why paul said, if any man has two wives or more he cannot be priest in the church , paul never said not to marry more than one wife neither did he condemn those who had more than one wife neither did he told them to stop marry more than one neither did he said divorce the 2nd wife and keep the first. None of this teaching comes from the bible it comes from the catholic church. Ravi made them sign statment that they were actually sort of wives to him and they agreed since it is not condem in the bible to have more than one wives so where is even the sin in that.

[@democracyforall]

Thompson found Ravi daughter, and began asking her intrusive questions about, among other things, Ravi daughter was offended and considered Ms Thompson’s behavior and demeanor to be aggressive and disturbing. Ms. Thompson repeatedly contacted Ravi. As a result of Ms. Thompson’s repeated messages, Ravi began to consider Ms. Thompson as a friend, in addition to a fan and supporter of RZIM’s mission and his work. Ravi frequently receives death threats originating from these countries and, further, his electronic devices and online accounts have been the target of many hacking attempts. Additionally, his mobile phone has been taken and briefly held by local authorities on a few occasions when visiting Islamic countries. Over the course of the two years following their initial meeting Mrs Thompson attempted to escalate her relationship with Ravi through repeated and persistent BBM messages, e-mails, by sending gifts through the mail, and by traveling from Canada to Georgia on two occasions, but Ravi did not meet her in person. In December 2015 Ms. Thompson obtained Ravi home address under the guise of sending him a Christmas gift. On one visit to Georgia, Ms. Thompson unsuccessfully attempted to contact one of Ravi daughters. Ms. Thompson attempted to meet Ravi on other occasions as well, but Ravi rejected all of these attempts. For example, Ms. Thompson represented that she was a physiotherapist and/or an ergonomist and volunteered to meet Ravi and treat his back pain. Mrs Thompson attempted to coax Ravi into an inappropriate online relationship. Ms. Thompson, at all times without Ravi solicitation, gradually introduced inappropriate topics into conversations with Ravi and then eventually introduced sexual topics. For example, she began expressing her love for Ravi, and then began making sexually suggestive statements. At first, Ms. Thompson sent photographs of herself with her family and pet, but as time went by, she sent photographs of herself stretching and in very scanty clothing and suggestive positions under the guise that these were exercises that would help Ravi back, and then she began sending photographs with less clothing, and ultimately in the nude. Ms. Thompson took these photographs in her office, car, and home. In fact, Ravi asked Ms. Thompson to stop sending him inappropriate material. Ms. Thompson agreed to stop sending Ravi such material, but then began sending photographs again and told Ravi that she could not help herself.

For those blaming her: If you understood how sexual abuse damages a child, and how it messes up their relationship with figures of trust, then it would perhaps make you more empathetic. The twisted wish to please an abuser, because he/she is a trusted authority figure, or a father figure, messes with all normal alarm signals, and also with all common sense. . This is what abuse does. The victim is not to be blamed! Though, they often are the first to blame themselves - while the abuser violently defends himself, and blames, and threatens, the victim. . In this case, despite the false counsel to shut up, or else, it seems Lori Anne confessed it all, in deep remorse, to her husband. She didn't want to hide anything from him. To me, this points to a truly repentant heart. . Ravi Zacharias behaviour in all this indicates an unrepentant life style. However, that is between him and the Lord. I feel so sorry for his wife, and family, who now have to live with all of this. It must be one long, hellish nightmare. They are victims too. I just hope they don't blame Lori Anne, or other victims, for their pain.

[@gabrielcalderon3]

Im so sorry that you and your Family had to go through This. Stay strong and i will pray for you.

I am Sorry! I am so sick........

First off, Ravi despite his ministry having helped so many people, what he did is unforgivable. Don’t know if he repented before leaving this world. Anyway, doesn’t matter. What he did to Lori was wrong. Period. My thing is, though, why did Lori ask for 5 mil?

[@michaelraymond1279]

How is it that a true Christian can even have the word “unforgivable” in his vocabulary? Where do you see that in the scriptures? What sins has anyone in history committed that the shed blood of Jesus can’t cover and forgive with God giving them true repentance?

The 2 top reasons most people fall from grace is: 1. Sex 2. Money Which of those 2 are you really struggling with today? Are you seeking help and praying about it, or living a double life now?

[@tomhardin2761]

If Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM) was truly repentant and trying to take responsibility, they would release her from her non-disclosure/non-disparagement agreement. They should release all who are limited by such agreements. They are still hiding things at the expense of the abused who want to tell their stories.

I'm just asking myself why this channel, which is called Muslim by choice, has to publish this

[@youtubeowl9544]

Why not? As Muslims, we stand for justice everywhere.

[@juliemauger6183]

This issue is out in the public domain, as it should be. I'm a Christian, and I'm just as shocked at what Ravi Z has done, most of which has only come to light recently. As Christians we must stand up for the truth, and not object to other people (in this case, Muslim people) publishing the truth either. Ravi Z has damaged and dishonoured the name of Christ - let us not be surprised when people of other faiths talk about his sins. Ravi will stand before God on the day of judgement. Let us not do or say anything which could be understood as defending Ravi.

[@KM-leons]

What Ravi did is immoral, despicable and shameful but compared to what the "greatest prophet" Muhammad, the "noblest of all" did it's NOTHING.

[@Eliaskto777]

Islam! Justice! Lol what are u talking about brother your prophet was so sick he married 9-year-old girls, I'm from a country that is the most Islamic country u can find, my first name was Mohammad, after 10 years of looking into Islam I found nothing but trash I speak Farsi, deutsch, and English And did read the Quran in different languages, nothing but a copy of Judea Christian. Mohammed married khalije, a Very rich Jewish lady. She was in the business of selling goods from south Europe to Arabia area And vice versa and because of the nature of the job it would take them about few months to go from Saudi to south Europe and best and safe places they could spend the night during their travels was at Jewish/Christian temples. And so Mohammed got to know the one GOD. as all his family members and uncle were the keeper of kabeh where they kept all the different gods. Mohammed was never a prophet from god. That's why he killed so much.... A religion in which you die and you go to hell no matter what and from hell God decides who goes to heaven is a joke....

I am terribly sorry for her horrific childhood. And, she was an adult when she choose to engage with Zacharias. Saying no and not responding to his advances would have ended the story. She was progressing in life, a husband, school, career, family. She made a choice. She was flattered by the attention. A very natural reaction. She has a husband she should have told immediately, but she liked the interaction with Zacharias. RZ was totally totally wrong, and so is she. She is not a innocent victim.

[@starlingswallow]

I am so sorry. I am weeping with you as you cry. My dear friend and Sister....you are beautiful and amazing in your strength. I know it doesn't feel like this, but you are using your voice and I'm so proud. So many of others too!❤
