PERRY STONE STATED ON AUDIO THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY HEARD AND NOW REVIEW (RETRIEVED 12-2-2023, FROM WWW.TIMESFREEPRESS.COM:
"I'm going to go commit suicide up in the mountains and end this thing," Stone said, speaking directly to one of the ministry leaders. "Listen to me, before God, I'm going to go take pills in the mountains ... because I can't put up with this. I am a very sincere person but I have almost no friends, man. And I have almost no friends because of shit like this."
"I can't shake a woman's hand, 'Oh, he's coming on to me,'" Stone said. "Pat them on the back, 'Oh, he's coming on to me.'"
"I will take my life before I let the ministry go down. I swear to God I'll take my life," Stone told the other ministry leaders on April 8, 2020, one of whom was said to be in possession of the letters containing the allegations. "No, no, no, no. This is going to get bigger. If he's got letters, it means they're talking. The ministry is ruined. I'm going to shut [Omega Center International] down and sell the building. I need to. I need to shut OCI down and sell the building and forget everything I'm doing. And if Pam Stone knows this, Pam Stone will leave me. Oh, she'll find out. She'll find out. And by accusations I'll be destroyed, so what do I have to live for?"
GOD'S SAVING GRACE, MERCY, AND LOVE IS WHAT ALL ELECT BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS BELIEVE AND LIVE FOR (JOHN 3:16-17). FOR GOD ALONE IS OUR BLESSED HOPE AND ETERNAL FUTURE! (JEREMIAH 29:11). BY AND THROUGH HIM, OUR HOPE EXTENDS BEYOND THE GRAVE! (ROMANS 8:38-39).
Perry further confirmed he was lonely, and his wife, Pam Stone, was not showing him affection. Thus, citing in my personal opinion, possible cause and effect with Biblical application, as Pam's body belongs to her husband, and her husband's body likewise to her (1 Corinthains 7:4).
AND GOD SAID: "THOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER GOD'S BEFORE ME" (EXODUS 20:3-5).
Sexual harassment is a very serious sinful abuse problem that can serve to harm the inflicted victim's soul (mind, will, emotions). Also serious, is Stone's troubling pronouncement of intentional suicide if these misconduct revelations became public common knowledge. As an evangelist for Jesus Christ, it seems Perry Stone has placed his self, and the promoted ministry he started, above God. His revenge toutings (I will kill myself) lacked simple faith in our Holy Father's declaration: "Behold, I make all things new"- (Revelation 21:5). His initial reactions to the allegations has shown forth a cognitive perspective that is other worldly, certainly not Godly. Nor God fearing (Proverbs 9:10).
Attribution theory states that our initial reactions to any stimulus are limited to the sense of whether it will have positive or negative consequences for us (Weiner, 2008). "Our perceptions of internal versus external cause determine in part the type of emotion that we experience. For example, if we experience frustration the emotion of shame may emerge if we decide that it is due to our own behavior. However, we may experience anger if we decide that the frustration is due to the actions of someone else" (Essentials of Human Behavior - Elizabeth D. Hutchison and Contributing Authors, Sage, 2013, pg. 123).
In this world we will have trouble, but praise be to God, for He has over come this world (John 16:33). As we cast our burdens and anxieties on Him, comfort and care is ever near (1 Peter 5:7; Psalms 55:22; Matthew 11:28).
