Others have criticized them for the content of their reporting, but the majority of respondents appear to disagree and argue that the truth should be accepted, and those who have harmed the Church should be held accountable. Bill Shannon has also been called out for his misogynistic behavior and refusal to obey the mandatory reporting laws, and his side of the story was originally the only side heard.

| 1624397118059208705 | Just ask yourself, were @kateshellnutt and @reachjulieroys (and @danielsilliman ) accurate and fair in their reporting about Ravi, or were his defenders? Did further reporting reveal things were better or worse?? Now consider how you respond to the J Mac thing. | 23 |
| 1624555928933769216 | I was very glad to see Bill Shannon called out in @kateshellnutt's @CTmagazine article on abuse cover-up at John MacArthur's Grace Community Church. Bill reached out to me during my lawsuit in 2012 and was completely misogynistic. He chewed me out for going public w/my story. | 4 |

| 1624610622334722048 | @kateshellnutt @JoshBlackLiberT @NancyAFrench @MinistryWatch @VICE Thank you for standing for victims of #kanakukabuse such as myself. I cannot adequately express in a tweet how much it means to me. | 1 |

One can only imagine how Johnson/Riccardi will work this in GraceLife.🙄) | 1 |

| 1627456513378754561 | @kateshellnutt I don’t know how you could have possibly given it more coverage given everything going on in Christianity globally.Contrary to popular belief in America, the world (or the kingdom of God) does not revolve around the US Church. | 56 |
| 1627531093640355840 | @kateshellnutt It’s real. I gave it slightly more of a prompt than I indicated in the post (I told it to write a funny song about a Reformed boy and Catholic girl based off of Sk8er Boi), but the rest is ChatGPT’s doing! | 36 |
| 1624671085730885633 | @DefendTheSheep @kateshellnutt @CTmagazine Bill Shannon should not be in ministry at all, he should be in jail for his constant refusal to obey the mandatory reporting laws. | 19 |
| 1624375512071012353 | @kateshellnutt Thanks for diligent work, Kate. | 15 |
| 1624581733650669569 | @LorcaDamon @PastorBenMarsh @kateshellnutt @reachjulieroys @danielsilliman MacArthur & the elders’ side was the only side that was heard, until recently. After all, Eileen Gray was publicly excommunicated. Now we are finally hearing the other side. | 14 |
| 1625918568008122380 | And then you set up your 'process' so that everyone must agree on all decisions related to church discipline (H/T @kateshellnutt): https://t.co/XWqiFMPyPa | 12 |
| 1627412358879477761 | @kateshellnutt Looking forward to that. Appreciate your work. | 10 |
| 1624583207604699136 | @ElizabethOstli1 @LorcaDamon @PastorBenMarsh @kateshellnutt @danielsilliman Exactly. Plus GCC made a statement—more of a non-statement. (i.e. we don’t comment online but here’s our comment online) But GCC has been given every oppty to respond and the church’s lack of substantive reply is on them. If someone pleads the 5th, we don’t call a mistrial. | 10 |
