Jim Wright’s Web of Organizations
It’s old news, but Jim Wright continues to use black hat internet techniques to support his lies and deceptions. His most recent post at Crossroad Junction has many suspicious likes. These are some of the accounts that are liking it. Do these look like organic connections to Jim Wright and Crossroad Junction?
(Update April 2015. Jim Wright’s Crossroad Junction Page of Facebook was deleted for multiple community guideline violations, some of which likely include the accusations referenced below.)
It’s a never-ending stream of twisting the truth and half-truths from Jim Wright, but I knew this when I first decided to stand up to his bullying and sociopathic behavior. Now a new list of unsubstantiated attacks comes from him and as the accusations increase in scope he continues to plunge into charges of conspiracy to explain why he’s being rejected and his grandiose claims are being ignored by so many.
Here’s some of the things Jim leaves out to try to convince others of his ridiculous and ever-expanding and morphing charges.

Recent correspondence between Bart Breen and GRACE (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment) has confirmed that there is no formal relationship between Jim Wright and the GRACE organization.
Per Boz Tchividjian of GRACE, “Jim Wright and his wife, is not associated with GRACE, nor has he (or his wife) ever done work or been authorized to speak on behalf of this organization.”
Another appeal was made to Jim Wright to address the issues of his claimed standing to bring accusations against local churches, and National authors with Mr. Tchividjian as the executive director of GRACE copied as a witness to the additional request, and subsequent refusal of Mr. Wright to provide evidence of the existence of his claimed organization and the leaders he claims to stand with in conducting his public activity.
Jim Wright claims on Crossroad Junction that he and his wife are involved in counseling victims of Sexual Abuse through Nathan’s Voice, and their network of Churches which has no name but exists under the legal framework of Fulcrum Ministries.
The only reference I’ve ever seen with regard to counseling for either of them is under what they call “Theophostic Counseling”. However, what used to be called “Theophostic Counseling” was changed by the founder Dr. Ed Smith to “Theophostic Prayer Ministry” for legal and liability reasons based on concerns that this was not something that qualifies as “counseling” under general use of the term and there’s little to no control of those who claim to be “practitioners” in this field.

Who is Jim Wright, Nathan’s Voice, Crossroad Junction and Fulcrum Ministries
Crossroad Junction, Nathan’s Voice, Fulcrum Ministries and Jim Wright are not about Organic Church. Organic Church by definition is about community and non-hierarchical fellowship. Jim Wright focuses upon lines of authority within his fellowships calling them “fellow-elders” when none of them are named nor do they function in any manner that is observable or public other than what Jim Wright as the sole spokesman selectively chooses to reveal (if true).
(Update: Additional articles addressing the claim of ELDER made by Jim Wright in light of his proven involvement in the Shepherding Movement are up now as well.)
(Update: After Multiple Community Guideline Violations Facebook deleted the Crossroad Junction Facebook page in March of 2015.)
In the past week, Facebook has finally begun to take notice of the activity of the Crossroad Junction Page run by Jim Wright and to which only Jim Wright and his wife are known to post. Two posts have been removed from the Crossroad Junction Facebook Page over the past week for Community Guideline Violations in response to complaints filed under the categories of “Hate Speech” and “Harassment.”
First, Jim Wright responded in apparent anger when he discovered that Bart Breen (the webmaster for this page) had “dared” to send private messages to people with whom he shared common friends warning them of Wright’s history of excommunication from a previous local church and then subsequently by a consortium of more than 35 Organic Church leaders.
Hate Speech Report and Post Removal of Crossroad Junction and Jim Wright
I’ve been writing a lot lately in the area of an unpleasant but necessary task of pointing out a claimed organization in my community that I believe has been doing a grave disservice to the organic church community at large and to victims of sexual abuse. This is beca
use of an individual whom I believe is misusing the issue to pursue personal grudges and revenge against people in his past in local Churches and his apparent desire to promote himself in the Organic Church community at large while attempting to wrap himself in the pain and suffering of other people to try and make his actions seem legitimate and selfless. I will continue to expose and address that where I see it, but that is not what this post is about this time.
Abuse in all it many forms is a very serious issue for me however and so I want to step back from the immediate situation that I’ve been addressing, and point out that I believe that there are victims of abuse throughout the church community as well as other forms of abuse that Churches have either not addressed completely or have not addressed at all.

Not all Victim’s Advocacy Groups are legitimate!
Many times after a disaster or tragedy is covered people will begin to receive phone calls, or see people collecting funds on street corners and it’s become a sad reality that people with kind hearts who truly want to help others in their suffering have to be careful not to allow their better natures to be taken advantage of by people who are willing to wrap themselves in the suffering of other people in order to benefit themselves financially. While this is probably the best known pitfall for people to be wary of, it is by no means the only one.
Victim’s Advocacy Groups are attractive at times as cover for people who are the very ones that are victimizing others! It provides narcissistic manipulators and similar personality types, the opportunity to have exposure, control and influence with others who assume that their actions and motives are driven by their stated purpose. It also provides these types of personalities the opportunity to have access to those who have been victimized, are vulnerable and who lack power to stand against the agenda or needs and desires that these abusers bring with them in their interactions. The abuse can come in the same form as the original abuse those victims suffered before, or it can be a more subtle form of abuse that takes the vulnerable state of that victim and then uses them and their cause to meet the needs of the Advocate/Abuser.

This post is provided as a courtesy for those who have read any of the several other articles on my blog with regard to the claimed local Organic Church Ministry claimed by Jim Wright, Crossroad Junction, Fulcrum Ministries and Nathan’s Voice. Before considering the claims of Jim Wright, these are questions that need answers. If you are provided answers to any of these, please feel free to place them in the comments here for possible inclusion. Continue reading
(Note: As further evidence of the ridiculous counter-charges of Jim Wright and Marianne Wright of “Racism” Facebook deleted the Crossroad Junction Page noted in this article in March of 2015 for Multiple Community Guideline Violations which likely included recognition of the issues documented below.)
It’s somewhat sad when the following adage is demonstrated; “Racism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.”
While racism is indeed a very ugly thing, the ugliest thing in this current situation for Jim Wright is numbers and facts. Jim Wright is welcome to attempt to desperately change the subject. I’ll give his sad response all the attention that it deserves, which is none. Those who know me, know that “elitist racist” is not descriptive of me, and those who know Jim Wright have mostly left his blogs, social media networks and more and more he’s simply yelling into a room with an audience who has little in common with him and who simply visit his page to perform a paid like. There is little community or connection involved at Crossroad Junction.
That’s really sad when you look at it because instead of addressing this, Wright’s response is to try to spin it as a positive. It begs the question that if Wright were really sincere in his desire to reach out to the Philippines then why was it necessary for him to wait several weeks for me to point out what was happening before he announced his welcome after dwelling on it for several days? Organic Church community for Jim Wright is OK to advertise for on Facebook but in practice in his own claimed network here in Northern Virginia he cannot even produce names.
After waiting several days to apparently think through how he would respond to the numbers present in my last blog referring to him, which revealed the huge anomalies in his Facebook page activity since April 28, instead of coming forward and admitting that something was quite unusual and unexplainable, Jim Wright responded with a welcome to his new audience in the Philippines and what appears to me to be a new addition to Fulcrum Ministries. This may be a difficult thing for him to pull off, however as these people have names and profiles that can be looked at to decide how legitimate their interest in his “organizations” are or even if some of them exist in reality.
