Abuse by a minister lasts a lifetime, twists scriptures as weapons, damages your soul, body, spirit. Makes ugly what God meant to be beautiful.
Attended a beautiful wedding yesterday, service well done by Pastor. The traditional scriptures though are triggers for me 🧵

The public shaming of a precious 16 yr old who finds herself in circumstances she hasn’t planned (pregnant) should be being LOVED, protected,sheltered
NOT publicly shamed because of her father’s platform!
This stuff is so damaging & will forever stay with her

It’s amazing how these guys will be quiet about the sins of other male leaders, allowing them to quietly transfer churches or jobs. But they have to hang out their own female children to public scrutiny!
And call out publicly her “sin” at 16!!!!!

When I went forward in 1991 to tell my Pastor about my abuser, my Mother was with me. When we left that office, my Mother was no longer 'with' me, she bought into the narrative that we needed to protect the church. We were told to be silent, silence became my world,pretend(thread

Proper statement (if any)
“I love my daughter who is on an unexpected journey and we will embrace her and this precious baby and ask God for His guidance and protection and plans. As a Pastor I ask you to walk alongside us and pray for her and this precious life”

There are many thousands who disagree with this take.
He has been unwilling to name abuse at his own church, no public exposure of sins against children/teens by prev staff and workers they left out the back door with no notice to others - yet this for his daughter

A church has a Christian school as part of their ministry. The pastor is not the principal but is involved, their children also attend. The school has some problems and the principal is constantly over ridden in her concerns b/c pastor has final say. The school faces complaints+

"let it go" still haunts me today - how do you let go what you can't process & when the abuser is still harming others? 1991-2007 I'd let go the best I could, w no help from anyone as it was a secret. Enough was enough, I had matured enough to know God was bigger than the lie...

In 2007, when as an adult woman and mother I decided I couldn’t keep quiet anymore about the abuse & abuser, I wanted others to know & to do something, to do better, not knowing then how prevalent abuse in the SBC was nor how often it was buried
