Rick Warren’s X Account Hacked By Meme Coin Scammers, Mock Him For Allowing Women Pastors?
Saddleback Church pastor emeritus Rick Warren saw his X account briefly hacked by scammers pushing a meme coin, prompting him to decry them as “unscrupulous criminals.”
Late Wednesday evening, Warren’s account shared a missive lauding the $LORD coin, linking its launch to his rationale regarding newfound egalitarianism.
This is exactly why I decided to launch the $LORD coin. I didn’t want to watch traditions and cultural interpretations override the truth any longer. The $LORD coin on Solana, just like this journey, is a symbol of seeking truth, questioning assumptions, and embracing transformation.”
It also went on to quote his 2024 statement, where he apologized for barring women from the pulpit, in what many see as either as an act of mockery or a bit of teasing.
The 2024 statement:
The hackery prompted Warren to take to Instagram in a since-deleted post and insist:
“Dear Friends, my X account has been hacked by a cryptocurrency SCAM claiming that I am supporting some get-rich-quick scam. I am concerned since I have over 2 million followers on Twitter and I don’t want any of them to get ripped off.
I have never promoted a business and never asked for money on any of my social media accounts. Please help me get the word out that my Twitter has been hacked by unscrupulous criminals.”
Shortly thereafter, Warren regained control of his account.
Saddleback has been the subject of a few controversies over the last few years, after it was uncovered that they have several gay-affirming church leaders on staff who run a gay-affirming ministry for parents of LGBTQ+ children (the same as Andy Stanley’s North Point Church) and for having a “Blacks Only worship service” where no white members were allowed in, so the “black fold” could have a “safe space” to “heal.”
They also came under fire after they blasted white Christians for having ‘no discernment’ and accusing them of not caring about black people, and again after Rick Warren apologized for tweeting out that Jesus was a centrist.
