The following story contains a description of child sexual abuse.
On a hot August day in Florida in 2021, then-Daystar TV executive Jonathan Lamb was summoned by his frightened wife, Suzy. “Pete,” one of their male relatives, had followed their 5-year-old daughter upstairs as the girl was going to change to go swimming.
“It’s like (Pete’s) eyes—he went black, and he’s like in a zombie mode,” Suzy recounted to The Roys Report (TRR) in an exclusive interview.
Jonathan rushed into his daughter’s upstairs room at a beach house Daystar had rented for its annual executive retreat in Miramar Beach.
“To my horror, when I got up there, my daughter was completely naked, and (he) was in the room,” said Jonathan, who also spoke with TRR.

“And I was just immediately like, ‘What are you doing?’—screaming at the top of my lungs. And (he) is like, ‘I-I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.’ He apologized like 50 times, like I caught somebody red-handed.”
Suzy added that Pete was usually “cocky and confident,” but he was “trembling and shaking—on the verge of tears.”
TRR is not revealing Pete’s identity because he has not been charged with a crime.
But this scandal involves Daystar, one of the world’s largest Christian TV networks, which along with Trinity Broadcasting and the Christian Broadcasting Network are faith channels watched by millions around the world.
Co-founder Marcus Lamb, Jonathan’s father, once claimed the expansive TV network, with more than 100 stations worldwide, was worth $1 billion. According to Jonathan, Daystar employs about 300 staff and brings in around $100 million annually.
It’s also headed almost exclusively by Lamb family members.
Until his untimely death on Nov. 30, 2021, from complications with COVID-19, Marcus served as president. Now his widow, Joni Lamb, is president.
Jonathan had been vice president but says he was demoted to a manager position last April for refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). The claim is supported by a recording of a board meeting Jonathan gave to TRR.
Then last Saturday, Daystar fired Jonathan—ostensibly because he failed to address “the deficiencies in your judgment and performance.” He and Suzy also used to co-host a show on Daystar, called “The Green Room,” but Suzy was fired from that position abruptly in July 2023, Jonathan said.
One of Jonathan’s sisters, Rachel Lamb Brown, is Daystar director of communications and her husband, Josh Brown, is director of business development. Jonathan’s other sister, Rebecca Lamb Weiss, is a producer and on-air contributor, and her husband Jonathan “JW” Weiss is director of information technology.
But according to Jonathan and Suzy, living and working within the Lamb dynasty came at an excruciatingly high price.
The saga involving the couple’s daughter started eight months before the incident at the beach house. That’s when the girl disclosed to Suzy she’d been molested.
Suzy said her daughter told her that a man had touched her, and used her own hands to indicate she’d been finger raped vaginally and anally. (TRR is not releasing the name of the daughter to protect her privacy.)
The girl did not identify her molester, other than to mention a couple physical characteristics, Suzy said. Initially, Suzy thought the perpetrator was someone at her daughter’s school. But she discovered the school didn’t employ any men.
As the months went by, both Jonathan and Suzy began to suspect Pete.
She recalled that after a summer vacation in 2020, Pete told her that her daughter had walked in on him in the bathroom completely naked.
They noticed their daughter became terrified to come to Daystar, where Pete worked, and once ran and hid in a corner when she saw Pete enter a room.
They said Pete was often with their children in Daystar’s green room while they were filming their show. And once, Rebecca and JW, Jonathan’s sister and brother-in-law, warned them about Pete. The couple reportedly told her they saw him putting his hands all over the child and kissing her.
Pete also would come over and play with the girl at Jonathan and Suzy’s house when only her brother and a nanny were home, which Suzy said the nanny found “creepy.”
And once, Pete and his wife had the girl and her brother sleep over at their house. After that sleepover, Suzy said her daughter “went from being the most affectionate, loud, fun child, to quiet. Nobody could touch her physically, except me. And when my husband would even come close, her body would stiffen up.”
Yet, according to Jonathan and Suzy, Marcus and Joni consistently fought to protect Pete and Daystar’s image rather than their own granddaughter.
Jonathan and Suzy accuse Marcus and Joni of cover-up
The day their daughter disclosed the alleged abuse, Suzy said she immediately called Joni, who urged Suzy not to go to police but instead to bring the girl to her. After meeting one on one with Joni, the girl stopped talking about what had happened, Suzy and Jonathan said.
“I don’t know what happened there,” Suzy said, but she was like a “lock box.”
“She doesn’t remember one thing,” Jonathan added. “She doesn’t even remember having that conversation. It’s like it never happened.”
Texas law requires anyone suspecting a child has been abused to report it to authorities.
Jonathan and Suzy reported their suspicions to police but said they kept it secret from their family. Because their daughter wouldn’t talk about it, police closed the case. (Later, it was re-opened.)
Then, on Aug. 3, 2021, when Jonathan caught Pete in a room* with his naked daughter, the couple went to Marcus and Joni, hoping they’d do something. But almost immediately, the elder Lambs declared Pete innocent, Jonathan and Suzy said.
Marcus and Joni justified Pete’s presence in the girl’s room by saying Pete loved her and simply wanted to hang out with her, Suzy said.
Suzy added that when she strongly objected, saying that didn’t explain why Pete was in the room with her naked daughter, Joni blamed the couple’s daughter, saying she was the one who took her clothes off. At this, Suzy said she began screaming at her mother-in-law, but Joni was adamant and reiterated her claim several times over the next 24 hours.
At one point, Marcus and Joni gathered Jonathan and Suzy with Pete and his wife in Marcus and Joni’s bedroom and insisted that they repent to each other and pray, Suzy said.
Then, Rebecca and JW, who had been barred from the room, barged in, insisting they be included, Suzy added. Rebecca was angry, Suzy said, and began praying in tongues, “like in a war mode.” Suzy said she was in “shock” by what was happening.
Later in the day, Suzy said Rebecca confronted her dad, saying, “Why are you doing this to us? Why aren’t you doing what’s right?”
Suzy said Marcus responded, “Because of (Pete’s wife) and (their child).”
That night, when Suzy insisted their kids sleep in the room next to them, instead of upstairs, Joni confronted her, saying, “‘Look at what you’re doing to this family! What about (Pete’s wife and Pete)? What about their feelings?” Suzy said.
The next day, while Jonathan, Suzy, Rebecca, JW, Marcus, and Joni were gathered in the kitchen, Joni claimed that God had told her while she was praying that Pete was innocent, Jonathan and Suzy said. At this, Marcus reportedly clapped his hands in joy, and the rest stood dumbfounded.
TRR reached out to Joni Lamb with detailed questions about the allegations Suzy and Jonathan leveled against her and Marcus, as well as other issues.
Daystar responded with a written statement, which said in part, “There is clearly a misunderstanding of what transpired, and the facts are quite different than what appears to have been reported to you. We simply do not support (Jonathan and Suzy’s) false allegations and are saddened by the continued relational incongruity between Jonathan and Suzy and the rest of their family.”
Similarly, TRR reached out to Pete, whose lawyer, Mark G. Daniel, sent a letter to TRR. It stated in part, “(My client) unequivocally denies the statements made by Jonathan and Suzy Lamb alleging that he engaged in some form of improper contact with any child. . . . Anyone who knows (client) knows that these statements are false, insulting and demeaning.”
TRR also contacted Rebecca and JW to discuss the details in this article. The couple chatted briefly with TRR and said they would consider going on the record. After three days and no contact from the couple, TRR reached out via email to them with detailed questions, but they did not reply.
Marcus claims Pete is cleared, but was he?
The following week, Marcus and Joni sent Jonathan and Suzy to North Carolina with their daughter to meet with author and speaker Denise Boggs, founder of a healing ministry called Living Waters.
Suzy said the impetus for sending them away was a verse she posted on Instagram about it being better to be drowned in the sea than to cause “one of these little ones” to stumble. Suzy said the post caused Joni to believe she was “volatile.”
Boggs was a trusted friend of the Lamb family, whom Marcus and Joni had previously brought in to try and help resolve personal conflicts between Lamb family members.
After learning about the situation, Boggs, who’s not a licensed counselor, brought in Debbie Leonhardt, a licensed forensic counselor, to interview Jonathan and Suzy and their daughter and assess whether the girl had likely been assaulted.
Boggs declined to comment on the record for this story.
But Leonhardt spoke with TRR and said the couple’s daughter had already shut down by the time she saw her and wouldn’t talk. Leonhardt told TRR that this response is “very common” among child sex abuse victims, “especially if they’ve been sworn to secrecy.”
Based on what Jonathan and Suzy told her, Leonhardt said she told the couple the alleged abuse needed to be explored further and urged them to get their daughter to a counselor in their home state of Texas.
Suzy said their daughter was so traumatized and scared by what she’d experienced at the beach house, she wouldn’t leave her side. So, the couple decided to wait a while before attempting counseling.
On Aug. 10, 2021, the same day Jonathan and Suzy met with Leonhardt, Marcus emailed his three children and their spouses, as well as Daystar CFO Arnold Torres. The email outlined a succession plan should Marcus die.
Jonathan said that prior to this time, Marcus and Joni had communicated to the whole family that Jonathan would succeed his father as Daystar president. But the email stated that Joni would replace Marcus as president instead.
Jonathan said the change was “punishment” for accusing Pete.
On Aug. 17, Marcus emailed his children and their spouses again—this time to express his distress “over the fractures in our family.” He also warned them in no uncertain terms to stop playing “Judge, Jury, or Executioner” (emphasis in original email) and to trust his leadership, or face the consequences.
“There can only be one leader,” Marcus wrote. “Either you trust me as God’s leader, or you don’t. . . .
“Your mother and I built Daystar without you, and we can run it without you. That would break my heart. But there are consequences for actions and attitudes. Don’t doubt my resolve. Don’t question my determination.” (emphasis in original email)
The email ends with an “assignment” for his family to make a written list of “every hurt, every slight, and every bad word or deed that has happened to you by a family member. (Include your Mother or me if it is warranted). Then we can deal with it when Denise (Boggs) comes.”
Boggs didn’t visit Daystar. Instead, Pete and his wife flew to North Carolina to interview with Leonhardt—a meeting Leonhardt said Boggs had coordinated with Marcus and Joni.
Leonhardt said the meeting was arranged so she could provide an assessment of whether the allegations against Pete seemed valid.
Assessments, which are often presented in criminal trials or sentencing, normally include thorough clinical interviews with subjects, and sometimes psychological tests.
However, Leonhardt said she wasn’t able to interview Pete. She said Pete’s wife insisted on being present for the interview and answered all the questions intended for her husband.
As a result, Leonhardt said she told Boggs that Pete would have to return for an interview before she could offer any assessment, but Pete never came back.
TRR also has obtained a recording between Jonathan and Suzy Lamb and Boggs in which Boggs discusses why the process ended before Leonhardt could offer an assessment.
“I remember when Marcus and Joni said, ‘We want to drop everything—just drop everything . . . Okay?’” Boggs said. “And so, I had told Debbie (Leonhardt), ‘They just want to drop everything. I don’t want anything more to be written and documented on this.’ And so that was what Joni had said.”
This discussion between Jonathan, Suzy, and Boggs took place on Nov. 18, 2023. But before then, Jonathan and Suzy said they didn’t know what happened during Leonhardt’s interview with Pete. They knew only what Marcus and Joni told them.
On Aug. 25, 2021, Jonathan said Marcus summoned him and JW into Marcus’ office. Marcus then told them that Leonhardt had investigated the allegations against Pete and determined that Pete had not molested Jonathan and Suzy’s daughter, Jonathan said.
He added that Marcus warned Jonathan and JW that if either of them continued to believe Pete was a pedophile, they’d need to find another job.
TRR specifically asked JW in an email to confirm what transpired in the Aug. 25, 2021, meeting between him, Marcus, and Jonathan, but JW did not respond to the question.
Jonathan said that after that meeting, he felt like he had no choice but to submit to Marcus’ directive. Just three months later, Marcus died unexpectedly, and Jonathan spent the next year sorting through his mother’s financial affairs and taking care of her, Suzy said.
Meanwhile, Suzy said she became “depressed, just like a zombie, operating somehow.”
Daystar: ‘allegations proven false’
In Daystar’s statement released to TRR yesterday, the ministry likewise cited a 2021 investigation that allegedly “settled the matter.”
“There was an internal investigation about the matter you referenced when it was first raised at a family retreat in 2021, which concluded with no wrongdoing found nor evidence provided that corroborated the allegation,” the statement said. “Apologies were offered and reciprocal forgiveness was extended by all involved. Everyone, including Suzi (sic) and Jonathan, believed that the matter had been appropriately addressed and settled.
“It is unfortunate that these private family matters have just now resurfaced as these allegations were proven false, and the matter was resolved more than 3 years ago, after which family functions including holiday gatherings, continued for several more years.”
Pete’s lawyer also claimed in his letter that his client had “volunteered to sit for a clinical polygraph examination. He was found to be truthful in the polygraph examination wherein he denied and refuted these baseless claims. ”The letter adds that “Jonathan and Suzy do not truly believe these accusations. If they did, one has to wonder why they continued to travel with their children and (Pete) and his family.”
When asked about the polygraph, Jonathan wrote in a statement to TRR that Joni Lamb’s new husband, sex therapist and Daystar host Doug Weiss, owns a polygraph company.
“Given (Weiss’) extensive knowledge of polygraphs, I believe these findings can be easily manipulated,” Jonathan wrote.
A polygraph company linked at Weiss’ counseling webpage is Honest to Pete Polygraph. The company states on its FAQ page that it does not conduct polygraphs centered on sex offenses.
Also, according to LawInfo.com, “Lie detector tests have questionable reliability and are generally not admissible as evidence in court.”
TRR specifically asked Daystar if Doug Weiss had administered the test and requested documentation of the findings, but Daystar did not respond to our request.
Jonathan also addressed the assertion by Daystar and Pete’s lawyer that Jonathan and Suzy’s family continued to spend time with Pete.
Ever since the executive retreat on Aug. 3, 2021, “Suzy and I have had a strict boundary to keep (Pete and his wife) from ever being alone with (our daughter), nor has he stepped foot into our home.”
Jonathan said his family took one beach vacation in June 2022 because Joni “was adamant that we go as a family for her sake since she was a new widow.” Suzy added that she felt sorry for Joni and agreed to go, stipulating that the children would sleep in the basement near her and Jonathan.
Jonathan and Suzy noted that Rebecca and JW did not go on the family vacation, and Pete is not allowed in their house.
Jonathan also noted that in 2022, both he and Suzy still believed that Debbie Leonhardt had cleared Pete. In 2023, when the couple learned otherwise, they took their daughter to a counselor, who then reported the suspected abuse to Texas Child Protective Services (CPS).
According to Jonathan and Suzy, CPS then reported the suspected abuse to Colleyville Police, who have since re-activated their previous investigation.
Police records obtained by TRR show a “pending investigation” into alleged “sexual abuse” involving Jonathan and Suzy’s daughter. As of time of publishing, no charges have been filed.
Daystar also alleges in its statement that “this smear campaign is the sad result of Jonathan not being designated as the future President of Daystar” following his father’s death—something Jonathan emphatically denies.
We’ll explore this allegation in an upcoming article. We’ll also reveal how Joni’s marriage to Doug Weiss, who filed for divorce from his wife of nearly 30 years just two months after Marcus died, widened the rift in the family.
*Correction: Our initial report said Pete was alone in the room with Jonathan and Suzy’s daughter. Pete was holding a baby in his arms and Jonathan and Suzy’s son was on a bunk on the opposite side of the room.

Jonathon and Suzy and your sweet innocent child have been through so much. May God rescue you all from this nightmare! Someone needs to find out what Joni ( the unloving grandmother) said to her poor grand daughter. Did she threaten her or her mom or dad? Joni must have scared your daughter into silence! You all need to address this issue or have someone in authority interrogate Joni. I will be praying for your family continually Jonathon and Suzy!
Joni obviously scared her granddaughter into silence! Talk about falling from GRACE! JONI, JIMMY! These people better repent before it’s too late! This makes me so angry I could scream! Joni has given herself over to the enemy as well as Jimmy Evans! I listened and followed these people for years! Jesus said to be careful or you will be deceived. I am so glad that Jonathan and Suzy are standing strong. I will keep you and your children in my prayers. I pray Joni wakes up before it’s too late!
Many years ago a well known older pastor who has passed on, said Marcus and Joni would not succeed. Makes me wonder…
She must have scared this poor grandchild terribly! She scared her silent! This is the work of the devil! Joni is now doing the work of the devil with her husband. Look, she married this guy knowing full well she should not have, and now look at her decisions! Jimmy Evans publicly supporting her and bullying is what he is good at!
Day Star was always been corrupt. When I had cable I had it on my network and I notice they had a lot of Corrupted preachers and false prophets come on the show. I hope people realize and not support and support their own church.
You sir are spot on. Some of Daystar’s guests are “prosperity driven ” false con artists and they are a Special Christian Clan that has fooled many viewers, christian and non christian alike who can’t discern the truth about quite a few of these “”players” that Joni hob knobs with on the show. That in itself is very telling about her disingenuious social platform that pretends to spread the gospel al although under false pretenses which we are now finding out. It is quite discernable if one pays close attention to the questionable staged agenda and interviews of Daystar T.V.
Joni has no right to shove this incident under the rug. A beautiful child was psychologically and emotionally hurt for maybe the rest of her life. All Daystar thinks about is money. Rachel you are wrong too to side with the enemy. The bible says that what you do to these little ones, the same will come upon you. Joni you are not a prophet to decide that this person is innocent; only a court of law will do that. Suzy and Jonathan, I pray that all will work out and God is in control and will vindicate you.
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I stopped watching TV. I started listening to preachers of old via YouTube…Charles Spurgeon, AW Tozer, JC Ryles,…etc. I stopped listening to Western Christian Preachers of this generation. It’s too shallow. Praying for Jonathan, Suzy, and their little one. Your integrity is your strength and confidence. Truth always prevails.
I would read my Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you. Those ole time preacher aren’t any better. I’m so frustrated with controlling church’s and pastors. I run for the hills that’s where my help comes from, my help comes from the Lord God almighty. Jesus said I’ll send back the Holy Spirit he will teach you guide you direct you lead you. Read John chapters 14-18
My wife and i have been financially supporting DayStar for 4 years, and have faithfully listened to the ministry most every week and have drawn particular Covid Information that has helped combat tremendous attack on my wife’s teaching career and successful fight of her removal due to Vax requirements by her school district. We struggle with a couple of points. 1) Jonathan’s treatment since his father’s passing (we observed much with heartbreak), and being loving grandparents we have a check that the words of Grandmother Joni would elicit such stifling response, gives us a second major pause, a check that something does not add up. It’s easy to armchair, but we have had concerns of less than truthful answers before any abuse allegations were even reported. Cover us all Lord.
It’s obvious Joni didn’t want the truth out because of what that would cost! Now it’s out! Children don’t make this up!
Joni and Jimmy beat up on Jonathan and Suzy. They bullied them. I would walk across the street to hear either one of them. They use God to cover up their wickedness.
That poor child.
I am disgusted by the actions of Marcus and Joni Lamb defending “Pete” and persuading the little girl to silence. Truly heartbreaking and criminal.
I’m completely stunned at the parenting by Jonathan and Suzy by the article. You were warned “Pete” was acting weird around your daughter and yet he still came to your house, was allowed to be in contact with your daughter in the green room and even was at a vacation house with him?
On this earth you are your child’s first defense. What Marcus and Joni did AFTER the fact was horrible. But your lack of protection and taking the child to Joni instead of the police? Come on!?! No one wants to hurt family but you MUST protect your child at all costs.
Sounds like maybe “Pete” knows or has some information that Day Star can’t afford to be leaked.
Lord have mercy. I’m terribly sorry for all the victims of this protected “Pete”.
I think there is another story behind the cover up of Pete. Marcus and Joni have a much deeper secret. But the price of that cover up is resulting in God’s judgement… big time. We don’t know about God’s judgment with Marcus. But Joni has lost her only son and his family. Her first granddaughter will carry the scars for this for the rest of her life. I say to Joni- none of this money or power is going with you. Its but a vapor. You, Joni need to get on your knees before our Almighty God and repent. I’m now an EX Joni Table Talk watcher.
I would advise Jonathan and Suzie, to hire their own legal attorneys for their best possible representation and management of the situation. Preferably a true Christian law firm .. blessings
I appreciate your apt response Eric Luxton as it provides an avenue in which this couple need the BEST protection for their little family in the process of moving forward. I’m hoping for an intervention of sorts to bring clarity and justice but also absolute healing of the trauma, abuse and feelings of abandonment and/or betrayal this young child must still be feeling. – and this precious couple
ALL the facts have not yet been disclosed. In the meantime, it’s important to know just who this “Pete” is and his relationship as a “family member”; on the surface, this sounds “cultish.” It’s got to be extremly difficult and embarrassing for a Christian Dynasty such as Daystar, or any born-again Christian for that matter, to deal with a shameful issue such as this. The devil is no respector of persons and his agenda is to not only steal our reputation and our families, but to destroy them at any length. This “Pete” must be an extremely prominant and significantly important “family member” in the eyes of the Daystar Dynasty to stay in a “covered” position, when all other family members are voicing themselves publically, especially to fire and dismiss/excommunicate one’s own son through a lawyer/legal process. The Healing of Jesus and Forgiveness must take place on all levels because this is not going away; it will fester in the lives that are involved . . . eternally speaking. “Pete” could be any male member of the family . . . surrender, repentance, confession and forgiveness must take place.
I think “Pete” is Joshua Brown, Rachel Lamb’s husband.
@Jan Parker, yes that’s the chatter I’ve been hearing. Also one you tuber redacted the actual letter that’s representing the abuser, uncovered the first initial and it was the letter “J”, granted this is all “allegedly “. You can find it under HushHush.
Yes, that is what I believe. To me, it’s the only reasonable conclusion to draw. Everyone camera-facing family member’s reaction has been documented in this article except Josh and Rachel’s. How is it that over several years Marcus, Joni, Rebecca and Jonathan’s reactions have been discussed but Rachel has had nothing to say for years?? No, it simply can’t be. Surely, she would be troubled like Rebecca or looking to cover it up like her parents. The fact that neither her or her husband are mentioned is telling and it hurts that she would cover up the molestation of her niece.
If a post is too long why doesn’t the software give the opportunity to shorten it to comply With regulations or at least give a caution that the writer is close to the end instead of forcing the writer to cancel the reply? I gave a well thought out response to a post but had to cancel. There should be better options than cancelling. Who wants to spend double time recreating?
Sorry. It’s my understanding that our software doesn’t do this. I’m sorry about that. I wish it did.
I wonder who it is?
It needs to be dealt with even if the person is in ministry & be taken out & let the healing begin
Let the light sine bright into the darkness.
It’s a little girl here. Please get the right people to look into this
When some one touches a child they do it in secret,& most of the time it does not stop there,
I was molested as a young child & my mother never believed me until ,he did it to a few others,
This person needs to be brought to justice & I don,t care if he is in ministry or not ,
They better check his children,if he has any,
Joni is wrong to cover this up to protect who this is ,close family member or not ,
A child was molested
This child is hurting & will affect her ,
And a question?
Why did JOHNATHAN & wife attend the mother’s wedding if they felt this was wrong to marry Doug?
It seems weird that Doug got a divorce that fast & started to talk to JONI ,
WAS THIS THE PLAN,
WHO KNOWS,
Joni married to fast & no time to grieve or let her children grieve,
Things really need to be looked into ALL areas of this
Deal with it & put the person in jail who did this to the little girl ,
Handle it the right way & then move on
Truth is truth,
Suzy and Jonathan remain strong as this will pass. Protect your daughter at all costs which you are doing. Joni is a hypocrite to think she is doing the right thing by shoving this evil thing under the rug. I am praying for you Suzy and Jonathan as I am sure thousands of others. TBN did the same thing to their granddaughter and she was awarded 2 million dollars. It seems that money is the only thing that Daystar is concerned about. Your love of money Daystar will destroy you.
Well maybe Joni needs to make another statement exonerating her son in law Joshua Brown if he is not the sexual molester of the young child. He is being named by people and if it’s true they better repent and get out of broadcasting. If not true he needs to deny the rumor…
And if it’s Rachel’s husband he needs to be prosecuted! Rachel if true, protect your babies at all cost. If not true then Rachel, her husband need to make a statement like the other person mentioned in an earlier comment. Praying for the innocent child and Jonathan and Suzy.
I’m a long time supporter of Daystar but as a Mom I say Daystar needs to be on its face before God as this should have happened years ago when this started! Praying for their family as a whole!
My Lord this is a bunch of gossip. No proof of anything. I don’t believe it. Suzi and Jon are blackmailing them. Daystar is full of false doctrine. Why do Suzi and Jon want to work at a wolfhouse? Because they are wolves. The whole lot of them prey on people with false doctrine, yet Suzi and Jon are poor victims?
You are soooo wrong, this is about a child being victimized! I hope the whole thing burns! But the family deserves to be validated, the child was innocent until this “Pete” and now Joni and Jimmy!
I really loved Daystar. I always got encouraged through the testimonies.
But when I found out Marcus had an affair and covered it up, and only spoke about it when the lady wanted money, it disturbed me.
But God forgives…..
Then Marcus died, and Jony married a man who divorced his wife in less than 6 months, I lost respect for her. But I forgave….who am I….
But this story re the grandchild, really, this is pure evil that a grandmother would cover up for a friend….
Pure evil
They are disgusting. All about money . Joni and Jimmy are frauds. Easy to see right through it.
My prayers are for Jonathan and Susie and their children, especially their daughter what this little girl has gone through Will forever be with her. What her grandmother must’ve said to her in private must’ve been very traumatic for this child to made her afraid to tell what happened . shame on Joni❗️May the truth come out and be seen by all❗️ Pete. (JB)needs to answer for what he’s done and if he is not held accountable, it will happen again, maybe with another child could even be worse, he needs help. Joni needs help. Her true self has been showed in her words she has spoken and her actions The spiritual abuse, the bullying by those in this organization and Mr. Evans . I’m thankful Jonathan and Susie recorded things. I will never support Daystar again Unless it goes in to safer hands, more reliable hands, truly a servant of God and I pray that others won’t support what they have done and are doing
and all who work there if you stand by Joni and the lies and cover up that’s terrible then you are the problem too. God knows all about this. They can’t hide it from him. It is sad to think Marcus died with this lie and cover up on his conscience. May God be with Jonathan and Susie, as they stand and fight this battle, and I pray for them to win, justice, help them God. I pray God will put Joni under conviction to come forth. Tell the truth one lie leads to another. Joni chose Pete and wife over her granddaughter and son and God and truth God help all of you . 100,000.00 of DayStar money honeymoon ❗️❗️❗️
I am so sorry for Jonathan and Suzy. They were bullied by his mother and do called marriage counselor Jimmy Evans. They are disgusting. Covering up their sins
I’m the child. Your whole world is torn apart, & it’s all your fault everyone is sad. Someone told you this would happen if your secret came out, now the silence begins. Every whisper & hush you hear is because of you, all the screaming & tears of others is because of you, it’s your fault. You cry out to Jesus “why”, but in your heart you know it’s because of you. you don’t even understand it, you just know it’s your fault. I don’t know what people can do to change the mind of a child once the damage is done. I’m 60 now. Praying for you all!
It’s (this depiction and actuality of Child Molestation) reminiscent of the Holocaust but of course on a much much smaller scale, but to the victimized Child, it is just as large and heinous and earth/life/emotion shattering. Because, it is.
“But let justice run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” Amos 5:24
My son also was also sexually molested at age 5 yrs by his elder cousin this exact senerio happened to him from my husbands family this incident is reopening all the wounds again I can’t sleep and I’m so angry I donated for years to Daystar my son is now 37 yrs old And never has recovered I can’t believe the comments of those that don’t believe Suzy Johnathan and the daughter my mother in law called my son a liar went to her grave blaming my son
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
I reported them to the Federal Trade Commision to investigate for sexual abuse, corruption and harrassement. Shame on Joni, we should start a class action suit for misappropriation of funds🔥🔥🔥🔥 I contacted the Attorney General Ken PAXTONS office with all your data and filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Texas today and IRS and State Auditor. I’ve sent my hard earned money there and I want no part of child molestation, corruption and fraud in our Fathers house, or our money to be used to hide this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️ NOT IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE.
Thank you Amy Lowery! We absolutely need an outside company investigating Darkstar! I’ve never given them a dime, however I’m going to see if I can inquire and file a complaint into why Joni and some family members failed to report this crime done to this innocent child.
Way to go, Amy Lowery, I’m so glad you knew who to contact, and that you DID IT!!! To this day no one has cared that I was brutally beaten and horrifically sexually abused beginning when I was 9 years old until I was 13-and-a-half. What I wouldn’t have given to have anyone in my life to ever care, or take action on my behalf. Thankfully this is a different day and time and now ALL of us will rush in to rescue the abused little lambs and stand strong against the wicked wolves. May such strong conviction come upon Joni, Rebecca, and Josh that they fall on their faces in repentance, and turn themselves in to the police – that would be the MERCY of God.
I meant to say Rachel, rather than Rebecca, in my previous post. But, Rebecca and her husband JW also need to step up to the plate and boldly speak up to acknowledge the truth. I don’t know if their silence is because they may have signed an NDA (?), but even that would not give them any excuse for not speaking up – they should care more about their little niece than they care about any ramifications of breaking an NDA.
Praise the Lord for YOU, Amy Lowery!!! I was also thinking of contacting Ken Paxton;s office, but unsure how to go about it. You did GREAT! I will also contact his office and it just occurred to me that it might be helpful also to contact Lt, Gov, Dan Patrick. God Bless You!
Good for you. It is the right thing to do.
Amy Lowery- Good for you!!
I’m at loss for words. I’ve watched Daystar for more than 23 years. This should have been dealt with privately. However horrendous the crimes were committed – this is a cry for help. Sexual molestation has been hidden for far so long. I pray for the soul of the little ones that were impacted. They trusted you. Whoever is in the right or wrong. God trusted you to take care of his children. I pray the truth will be revealed. I pray healing begins. God is using this moment for a reason. Unfortunately sexual abuse is rampant in Bible believing communities. We must however painful gather the victims and show them the love of Christ. Very saddening to see this happen. My heart goes out to the victims.
You cannot keep a sexual assault private. This is what they tried to do (allegedly) and it backfired. That’s why so many Christian organizations are in trouble as they try to hide the crime as opposed to bringing it to the proper authorities in the first place. I also don’t know why any Christian organization would put trackers on a family member’s vehicle.
People who commit CRIMES should be PROSECUTED by civil authorities
to the fullest extent of the law. What MAN can do to people who steal in the name of the Lord (or worse) is NOTHING compared to the ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES they will face when our Lord says to them, “DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU”. These WOLVES in sheep’s clothing are everywhere you look in America, and if the Holy Spirit hasn’t given you the DISCERNMENT to recognize them, you are in the BIGGEST kind of trouble that there is.
I want to see the evidence that Suzy and Jonathan went to police early on. Not on the NEWS at the time??? As parents, it’s odd that you would take vacations with a person who molested your child. The child didn’t remember conversation with her mother Suzy BEFORE the child ever talked to Joni. If the evidence supports it, BURY “Pete”.
May I ask a question?
Why did they continue to go on vacation with them? And if he was not happy about his mother’s marriage, then why did they go to it? Rebecca warned them that something was wrong then they should not allow after that the children be around Pete,
Expose him, go to jail & pray that the little girl can find healing,
What a mess & shame on Joni & her family for trying to cover this up.
This is a child 😢
Cancel Daystar,
Because they were allegedly told nothing had happened after an investigation. The younger couple said they put boundaries in place to protect their daughter and then another incident happened. They initially went to police, but little girl clammed up and would not talk so police couldn’t do anything. Later they found out the investigation was a sham with the instruction by the elderly couple to close the investigation.
There is a lot of fear when your paycheque (livelihood) is being threatened. Plus this was their family they trusted to act rightly by them. When you’re surrounded by a lot of “noise”, sometimes it’s hard to see what direction to take. But according to the younger couple, God eventually showed them to take it to someone else for intervention, which in this case is the media. Also, the police have re-opened the case I read somewhere. So lots of dynamics going on. It’s not so easy to walk away from abuse if this is indeed what is happening. There is a thing called “crazy making” which makes you doubt everything you think is true. Narcissists or toxic places are good at it. We pray whoever is telling the truth is vindicated. Amen.
Joni has damaged Christianity over pride and greed. How does she think this affects non Christians. They simply say see they are evil and liars. Either she has so much pride over them not reading a comment or they are trying to eliminate Jonathan from his birthright. Either way evil.
Like some have said, since no one from ministry or from inside Daystar wants to clarify what happened, it is up to the Christian Youtubers to get the conversation going. Obviously, somethings are wrong at Daystar for Joni and Jimmy to be speaking of the “Voice of God” and submit to her authority. The audios are all about Jonathan refusing to read an email that praised DW. I totally get it! He is creepy! All you have to do is listen to a few of his videos and you see that he is crude, and narcisisstic. I don’t know if Joni has changed since she married him or if she maybe has always been this way in her priviledged world.
Why correction? That’s Joni’s possible lie version. Listen to Denise Boggs interview where all call her, no mention of him holding a baby or other kids. Denise Boggs validates it.
Tracey Edwards – both Jonathan and Suzie verified on a new video that there was another different child present when “Pete” was found with the naked daughter of Jonathan. Suzie said in this video that Julie Roys didn’t not want to disclose this the article because of it being a child. Seems no one has told the whole truth yet, this was upsetting to hear because it certainly changes the dynamics of the “scene”. Here’s the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGFglGSsfzE
It boils down to the fact that either Josh Brown is lying or Suzy is. Either way, Joni has handled the entire situation in a way that does not honor God or her family unit. I find Joni’s new marriage and spiritual bullying to be reprehensible.
