Virginia Pastor Makes Woman Stand Before Church and Tell Congregation She’s Pregnant, Denies Her A Baby Shower
On Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025, Pastor Terry W. Jackson of True Vine Apostolic Church of Christ in Hampton, Virginia, made a young woman stand before the congregation to apologize for being pregnant out of wedlock and even denied her a baby shower.
Pastor Jackson, addressing his congregation at 925 Old Buckroe Rd, said that the woman—visibly emotional and wiping away tears—would not be allowed to have a baby shower, nor should anyone from the church attend one.

Dressed in white and with a covering on her head, the woman stood before a packed church and tearfully said:
“I want to apologize to everyone in here because I am pregnant… Umm… I’m sorry, y’all… and I just hope that y’all all forgive me and keep on praying for me.”
Pastor Jackson Reaction:
The congregation responded with a standing ovation, but Pastor Jackson, struggling to rise from his chair, quickly shifted the tone. His words were not of comfort but of stern rebuke.
“You never wait later to repent,” he lectured. “If you sin, you repent now. You just don’t do it again. But you’ve got to repent.”
The pastor went on to say that the church would not “condone sin” by celebrating the impending birth.
“Ain’t no baby showers going on, That’s what you lose out at,” Jackson said in front of his congregation. “When you have a baby out of wedlock, ain’t no baby showers, and nobody at this church better attend one.”
He didn’t stop there Virginia pastor shames pregnant woman in church. Pastor Jackson even instructed the woman’s mother not to throw a baby shower for her daughter, warning that while she could care for her granddaughter, celebrating the pregnancy would be seen as condoning sin.
“Can’t have no baby shower… You lose all the prize and glory… You just lose all that,” Jackson said, seemingly equating the joys of welcoming a new life to some form of “reward” forfeited by her actions.
In a comment that we found very disturbing is when the pastor thanked God for sparing the woman’s life over her pregnancy.
“Thank God, God didn’t take you out of here,” he said.
What do you think about Pastor Jackson’s treatment of the young woman? Watch the full video below and decide for yourself:
This church is in the area where I grew-up. This young woman looks very humiliated in the 1st place. What’s to gain by embarrassing her in front of the church? She is obviously from a single mother home. There’s no man that would allow a pastor or anyone else to humiliated their daughter in front of the church or anywhere else. I would pray, but I would have put my hands on the Pastor that day! Would leave that church immediately!
She’s a child, not a woman, who was raped, as she’s not old enough to consent. Shame on the pastor. Shame on the guy who did this to her.
And she will have a baby shower
This is so wrong what you are doing to that child I know that child mother personally she went to school with my daughter and was a friend of my daughter she had kids out of wedlock so why would she put her daughter up in front like that. How can she cast a stone at your own child when you done the same thing.
I don’t believe in churches made with hands first and foremost. They are fishing holes for Satan. The church is the people that follow the Spirit of God!
Acts 17:24
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;”
1 Corinthians 3:9
“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”
Colossians 1:24
“Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:”
1 Corinthians 3:16
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
Romans 8:14
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
If this organization has rules set in place that members are to follow and the rule broken, how can people be against the leader of the congregation for rebuking her. He’s the leader of this organization and nobody that’s not a member knowing the rules of this organization should comment about what the leader did. If a company had rules in place and an employee breaks a rules he/she agreed not to, should the employee be reprimanded. The employee absolutely should be reprimanded for breaking a company policy. What’s the difference?
He is not God.. the Bible also said if that leader or pastor is leading me the wrong way I can leave that church. We are to have a relationship with God not religion and man made rules. Where in the Bible she can’t have a baby shower. She can repent but no one showed her loved. I know this type of church i have been apart this type. Women on one side men on the other. The Bible also said lean not to your own understanding
Not all of them. Please don’t judge all by one.
Religion is a PROBLEM!! So much error going on in the Body of Christ this is just the tip of the iceberg! God is tearing down all religious structure in the Church. It’s time we resemble Christ for real! And that’s not it!!!
Horrific! So he’s the judgmental type of Christian vs the supportive type. This is EXACTLY the reason people are leaving churches in droves.
BIBLE- Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Jesus. I am so glad Joseph protected his mother Mary and did not allow the community to stand her before the church. We just celebrated the birth of Christ I wish i knew this young lady. I pray someone is there to protect her from further trauma. Come to North Carolina we will care for you and have plenty of things to help you. And will love you with the love of Christ. I dont know who this bishop is but he needs Jesus.
🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 does he read the Bible?
Mary wasn’t Joesph’s mother. She was his wife and The mother of God’s child Jesus
John 3:6
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”
How can a woman that’s flesh birth anything but flesh? How can God put a seed in a woman who’s married? Now you’re saying God is flesh and an adulterer! Wow! You do know that’s blasphemy, right?
Luke 24:39
“Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.”
John 4:24
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
How can Christ have a birthday? Are you talking about the man which is flesh or the Spirit of Christ that was in the man that came in His name? You do know that calling God flesh is blasphemy, right?
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Revelation 19:13
“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
Hebrews 7:3
“Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.”
Revelation 22:13
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
Matthew 21:9
“And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.”
How do you address the trend of having children outside of marriage? In the 70s and 80s, this was more prevalent, but things have shifted even further today. Now, some women are freezing their eggs and choosing to have children on their own.
At my church, a couple signed up for a baby dedication ceremony. After it was done, they mentioned they weren’t married. The pastor decided to speak with them afterward, and going forward, the department that handles baby dedications was asked to ensure the proper process is being followed.
There is a different in: correcting, rebuking, and shaming! What he publicly did was misuse his authority.
So if a couple is not married at your church going forward the baby can not be dedicated?
I hope everything calls and the church removes this evil judgmental pastor and leaves him with no pension.
Wow I’m blown away! I’m sure if not him one if his dirty deacons plays a role in this! Its so sad how people try to put God in mess! Even if it was a boy standing there its still no glory in embarrassing anyone! This is most definitely NOT of God!
WELL…I WANT HER NAME: AND I MA DOING LIVE RIGHT NOW A LIVE FACEBOOK : I HOPE THAT NO MAN THERE IS THE BABY DADDY: SHE DIDN’T GET PREGENANT BY HERSELF: I WANT HER INFORMATION: WE WIN SOULS NOT LOSE THEM: PASTOR ACT LIKE HE WANTS TO KILL HER AND THE CHILD!
WELL…I WANT HER NAME: AND I MA DOING LIVE RIGHT NOW A LIVE FACEBOOK : I HOPE THAT NO MAN THERE IS THE BABY DADDY: SHE DIDN’T GET PREGENANT BY HERSELF: I WANT HER INFORMATION: WE WIN SOULS NOT LOSE THEM: PASTOR ACT LIKE HE WANTS TO KILL HER AND THE CHILD! I HOPE NO ONE IN HIS MINISTRY HAS COMMITTED ANYTHING PERIOD!
Amen! I keep saying what about the boy/man? Why isn’t he standing by her? This Pastor is wrong….he who is without sin….cast the first stone! Christian women need to stand with her and her mother
This young ladies real information is $bonitaky on cashapp. It is not the one that Sharee is listing.
He can go-to hell who is he to judge he ain’t GOD
He should be grateful that he wasn’t ” struck down” on that pulpit!!!
Seems like he got a warning with that choking fit. God is not pleased. And each and every person that sat there and consigned that is just as disgusting including her parents. Ain’t no way!!!!! I had a strict Pastor like that and was terrified to tell him I was pregnant and I was an adult so I can imagine this child feeling helpless and now traumatized and I hope she gets out of this abusive cycle for the sake of her baby. People stop confusing abuse for discipline in the church!!!!
Exactly
I would like to bless you with somethings for your baby.

I blessed her via Amazon, my daughter is also blessing her.
SMDH!!!!!! The actual nerve of this IMPERFECT male (not man).
Yes that’s a bit nuts having that young lady apologize to the congregation for having a baby outside of marriage when 9 times out ten most people in that church probably were born outside the bonds marriage too. Bishop Jackson overstepped and I’m sure he means well but he is out of order for that one. Also, to deny a family an opportunity to have a baby shower and telling his members not to go is crazy work. Bishop Jackson respectfully your authority as the Pastor does not give you the right to do that.
Ask him how many women or babies he has at that church. She better leave that church and her momma better go with her. These boot leg pastors are nuts.
Probably why he so mad, she probably his child and it’s his grandchild! Ain’t no telling but he’s taking it mighty personal!
You are absolutely correct.
He is the biggest SINNER by far.
HIS ALIAS IS “KING JAMES”!!!!!!
PEDOPHILE, UNDERCOVER HOMOSEXUAL AND ALL THOSE OTHERS THINGS HE’S HIDING.
THAT’S WHY HE COULD BARELY GET UP FROM TAKING IT IN HIS …..!!!!!!
The mother should have stood up and cussed him clean out. Then took her daughter out of there never to return.
I totally agree
With who?
Sound like God was about to take him outta here.
🙏🏿 🙏🏿 🙏🏿 does he read the Bible?
Hope she gets a truckload of gifts..that man didn’t die for anyone’s sins and by the looks of it, he forgot who did…shame on him & how dare he threaten those people with condemnation. Good thing he can’t actually do it…God Bless her
I agree totally!!
This is a SHAME!! That man is not GOD and has no right to embarrass this young Lady that like this!! Where is the young man, she didn’t get pregnant by herself and who the hello i he to tell her she can’t have a shower!! Makes me think he might be the daddy!! I really Pray she leaves that church!!
Leave that church, there is no love there. Where is the young man? She did not get pregnant by herself.
All i have to say is he without sin cast the first stone!!! Jesus was and is our example!!! If He didn’t condemn and shame who are we to? Instead he forgave and told her to go and sin no more. Why wasn’t she asked to reveal the father? Perhaps he sat right there amongst them. I’m just saying! The footage stopped at the right time…right after the cough.
The devil is a liar. This young lady deserves a baby shower for the gift she’s about to deliver . I really hope your not the father Bishop . No dis respect but it’s allot of preachers that’s not living the true word when it’s comes to the pulpit. I’m discussed. The celebration is the child not her nor the father actions. I dear you deny her of that. Forgive and move on . Not to punish her behavior. This young lady probably will need so help with things for the child.
Lord fix this . This isn’t right at all. The old school doctrine has to go.
Simply my truth
I understand that this is his granddaughter, That, however, doesn’t make what he did right. Had no idea this was happening in this day and age.
I think he is the father, the reason why he so angry. They need to fire him.
Find another church! This is wrong on so many levels. Apparently, this pastor did not read or is ignoring John 8:1-11.
Yes find another church, I totally agree. The nerve and to judge this young lady is a sin in its own.
If anyone knows who she is, please provide her contact info. I would like to bless her!
Hi her cash app is $wannabeLPN, BUT HER FAMILY IS GONNA TRY AND THROW HER A SHOWER SHES GOING LIVE SOON I TOLD HER NOT TO BUT SHE INSISTS

What’s her Facebook name?
Hello:
Kyreen Orange: Amazon Baby Registry!
I too have blessed her as well as my daughter.
We are the INTERNET AUNTIE’S
This young ladies real information is $bonitaky on cashapp. It is not the one that Sharee is listing
People aren’t going to like this, but he did the right thing! The Bible say open rebuke is better than secret love. It may have been shameful but even Paul let’s us know that the shame will bring us to repentance! He said we are going to pray for you and help you, but we will not condone your sin! Absolutely, right. This is what is wrong with the world today, you get mad at the preacher. He did the right thing. He’s not judging. There is order in God’s house, and it must be followed. From the pulpit to the back door.
Pregnancy is not a sin. Fornication is the sin. Let he who is without the sin of fornication in his lifetime pray for forgiven of the sins THEY HAVE committed.
What? You gotta be kidding me he’s not good girl he has no heaven or hell to put anybody in!
No no and no, bringing her to the front of the church embarrassing her like that…when is that ok? We all have fallen and come short of the glory of God …
Is this the punishment Mary deserved?
Mary didn’t commit adultery
In that case, let’s get the father of the unborn child and have hundreds ask for forgiveness also; he was also a willing participant; she didn’t commit fornication by herself
Absolutely right we shouldn’t be praising her for sinning.
You sound nuts! This is never okay.
That man is outta line and pocket. Religious people love to use the Bible as a way to control and belittle people. The wildest part is most of the time you are using the word out of context because you didn’t read the whole verse. Behavior like this in the “church” is the reason why people want nothing to do with the building or the ppl in it. Be mindful that he without sin cast the first stone. And in the same matter in which you judged this young lady you will be judged. I can almost guarantee that the pastor sins more often than not along with yourself.
Just asking on what Paul said to do with a fornicator who does not repent?
So you never sin, so what if you were called up to tell your sin. Everyone sins, even that pastor.
People need to stop taking God’s words out of context. Read the scriptures in its entirety so you will know and understand for yourself!! Matthew 18:15 is a Bible verse that describes a process for addressing sin-related conflicts between believers:
If your brother sins against you: Go and point out their fault in private.
The scripture does not condone shaming people in public; in fact, it teaches against publicly humiliating others, emphasizing the importance of restoration and private confrontation when addressing someone’s wrongdoing, often citing Jesus’ example of dealing with sinners with compassion and forgiveness.
Public shaming can cause significant emotional distress and damage a person’s reputation, which is not aligned with Christian teachings of love and compassion
This is a gross misinterpretation of the Scripture that you reference. “Open rebuke” does not mean publicly humiliating or embarrassing someone. Open rebuke is simply telling someone of their error or sin face-to-face. For example, the prophet Nathan tells David of his sin face-to-face. That’s open rebuke.
Agreed RMCCORKLE, agreed!! This is straight up embarrassment and humiliation to that young lady! God bless her!
Faith. How do you know what’s wrong with the world.
What are you talking about? Jesus’ mother and father received gifts after his birth. His mother was not married. This entire act is wrong and hiddeous .
Exactly we might not like it but that is scripture this practice isn’t done in many churches today but down south some still go by this practice. This happened in 2013 to a Bishop his Children made him go in front of congregation and confess he had an affair on his wife it was sad but this is what he preached and the kids did just that he has a heart attack right there on pulpit in front of congregation and died in hospital..That was my Uncle but it is still practiced in some churches..We all have to repent for our sin..
Just because it’s being done, doesn’take it right. He could have had a meeting with her and the father, in private and had them both ask for forgiveness and repent. She did not have to be humiliated in front of the entire congregation, and because of Social Media, the entire world. He is just a man, not God!!! I wonder if he repents daily in from of the congregation, because surely he falls short as we all do, after all, he’s just A Man. Why should she apologize to a church full of sinners, being that we all are. What Heaven or Hell can they put her in? It’s a Full Time Job to try to keep yourself on the straight and narrow path. He’s more concerned about how her pregnancy out of wedlock makes him look as her grandfather and pastor. If Jesus starts taking people out because of pregnancy outside of Wedlock, then Heaven Help Us All!
I would like to bless her as well, someone please provide her contact info
Stop it!!!!! Jesus NEVER said to publicly disgrace someone for sinning… He actually spoke Life to the woman at the well. He even said: HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE!!! Man made up this ish!!!! Not God!!!!!
No he didn’t Show me in the word where Jesus ever publicly did this to anyone. You should stop. Public humiliation is not of God. And everyone in the church should be made go confess all their sins publicly if you think this is correct. It’s not the pastor should be the first one confessing because we all sin. There’s no big or little sin. This young woman just has an outward sign.
So, the father of her child gets a pass? She didn’t impregnate herself! I think there’s more to this story. The Word says, “LOVE covers a multitude of sins!” God is Love. She deserves forgiveness not public humiliation and shame.
I understand what you are saying but he should have called up her family and the father of the child. We talk about decent and in order and this should have been dealt with privately and among her family. I must wonder how many young men he has done this too. See if we are going to talk about it let’s talk about all the sin that occurs in and outside of the church .
Just sad.. People need to understand we are not living in the old times. This is the 21st century. Everyone is not looking for marriage & some are not looking to become married. The problem is we look for validation from others than yourself. We have to do what makes us happy inside rather than society. People become depressed and unhappy, wanting to do because they are listening to man. Having a baby is a blessing. People should not be playing the game of follow the leader . You need to lift this young lady up instead of disowning her.
It hurts my heart. Wrong on so many levels especially with her being pregnant. Her mental stability matters especially in the 1st trimester. She already feels bad, is alone and made a choice not to commit another sin to cover a sin.
Right now in this happening she is God’s least and I pray he accepts her and child like he did Rahab into his lineage and cover her as he did Mary for a like situation when they turn on her not knowing she carried the savior. They know not what and who her child will be. I pray she holds on in every way especially to God who won’t fail her. Praying for a home who that will protect her, nurture her and be all she needs plus. I couldn’t be me and this makes me 100 times more grateful and thankful for parents who protected me when me a sinner was in their church pregnant – a strict 7th Day Pentecostal Church. My parents also knew me. I would have turn the tables.
True story of church hurt… Prayerfully the mothers of the church will uplift this baby and guide her in the right direction.
This man would have never embarrassed or hurt my daughter like this. You can’t tell me what to do with my child or granddaughter …There’s only one judge and that’s god …..hell one of the church members the daddy I bet…. & please don’t come for me because half or most of y’all was born out of wedlock….
EXACTLY I would went straight off on him up in that church
I’m a pastor and I would never embarrass the sheep like this. It’s not my place to make anyone feel bad, because they already feel bad enough. She dont need to repent to the church. Im very sure its some folks in there with sneaky undercover things going on in them. God is a compassionate, loving, forgiving God and we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God. It’s because of God’s mercy that we ourselves are not consumed.
Thank you, I told him it’s all about how he handled the situation. He didn’t have to say anything to her!
Pastor Askew, I’m a Pastor as well and this disturbed my spirit some kind of bad. I totally agree with what you have stated. God is not pleased with a lot of these Pastors actions and they need to be extremely careful with how they are treating people. They are misusing and abusing God’s word and leading people astray. The blood is on their hands.
This is an example of church hurt. I pray that she doesn’t let what this Pastor did stop her from serving GOD. We All have Fallen Short of the GLORY of GOD. Who without Sin Cast the First Stone. Pray for Her and Love Her because that what JESUS will Do.
Can we locate the girl? I will throw her a baby shower! I am in Hampton!

We gotta find out who thos young lady is. We should organize and give her EVERYTHING she needs.
When you find her please let me know I would gift her as well. And offer mental health support Shana Shaw 720 989 1238
Even for us afar, I’d certainly contribute. Amazon wishlist works well! Virtual baby shower! I’m here for it.
We are here in North Carolina thinking the same thing. I’m a minister and want to help with any shower or supplies being given to this mother.
I am in Newport news. I use to attend an apologetic church a few years back before moving back home. Now the leader used to rebuke us, but he would not leave it there. We would come up with a plan of action. This is downright disgusting. Let me know if you locate this woman. I would like to take her out or at lease provide something for her child.
Hello I would also like to find her. That was so wrong on so many levels for that pastor to do. We all make mistakes which teaches us lessons. No one would tell me what I can and can not do. The pastor seems like he is controlling his congregation not teaching them
He’s not controlling he doing what scripture said he’s old school still going by what that church believes in. He should of told them not to record or live stream because he sat down with that mother and her and already told her what she had to do he didn’t put her on the spot to embarrass her but rebuke.
I’m in Yorktown and still will help!!!! Info plz
Do not donate to these people saying they are related or represent this young lady. Just wait, because alot of people are already trying to scam you into thinking they represent her. The truth will surface and you will know who to send donations to. I hate crooks.
sooo the baby, that god knows about….cant come into the world with gifts ? 3 kings brought gifts to jesus, not knowing he was in barn with the animals….hes not preaching gods word…. no one should continue to put money in the pot….let him sit in his judgement
My grandfather tried to do the same thing to me. My answer to him was, ain’t nobody in this Church got a Heaven nor hell to put me in. The only person I have to asked forgiveness for is God. People saying that that’s their belief, well maybe they need to start reading they owe Bible and see what Good says. As the Bible says judge ye not and ye sure not be judged.
This is the craziest mess I’ve ever seen in my life. And whose the father?. That pastor should be ashamed, I wouldn’t have gotten in front of no congregation, they can’t judge her. She needs to sue the pastor for defamation of character and divulging third party information. That pastor needs to be sued! I can’t stand these brainwashed ministries.
Iris, it could be one of those men or one of those old deacons sitting over there on that right side in that cult they’re in…look at them on the front row dropping their heads.
My mom and grandparents and family was brought up on 48th Street and living Waters Baptist Church in Newport News, Virginia and this is pretty weird to me that he would actually say this to this young lady and made this young lady get up in front of the whole congregation to say she was pregnant and so please pray for her like, why would you make that girl humiliate herself like that that was very humiliating, and you should’ve did that that was not right, and that was not something that I man of God should’ve done.
I just watched this. I’m gonna find out who I can report him to because. This is public humiliation, emotional abuse, declination of character, etc. My heart is heavy for her. And then for them to say. Oh. We’re praying for her. What? And how? Then her mother is there & not defending her. He talking about. And the mother shouldn’t attend one either. Who does he think he is? Wow! They’re all disgusting. Demons in church. Trying to portray themselves as holy than thou. The bible declares we “all” sin and fall short of God’s glorious ideas. I’m firm believer in repentance. And making every effort to do right but. This is disgustingly humiliation to this young lady.
Typo: Defamation of character
So everybody at that church can sleep around out of wedlock just not get pregnant smh ok got it !
Not to mention his daughter was pregnant at a young age and not married. Got married after
I grew up at that church too! His father would be turning in his grave.
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. To make that young lady stand in front of the congregation and apologize for getting pregnant and commanding the congregation to not throwing a baby shower is absolutely ridiculous. If I were her mother I would be looking for a new church home.
My question is how many of you attend this Apostolic ministey? If you’re are not a member of this denomination, why are you so invested in their denominational beliefs? Many black churches such as Baptist, AME, CME, GOGIC have strayed away from this practice. To each it’s own. The young lady already knew the consequences of her actions regarding her church position of unmarried mothers. It’s the unchurch making this a spectual. Get out of these folks business!
Exactly 💯….I agree! I would rather cry now than spend eternity in hell. If more preachers were like him, it wouldn’t be so much mess allowed in ministry.
She’s not going to hell over this… besides, you Christians be kinda slow. Yall all beLIEve that God is Omniscient (All-Knowing) yet you think yall have a choice in whether or not a person goes to hell? Lmao you ppl don’t have free will if you beLIEve god is all knowing. It’s a literal contradiction
The preacher clearly does not understand true repentance. Repenting in front of an entire congregation is not necessary. The church has no power to forgive unless the church was offended. The young lady only had to go to God in prayer and repent. This was an unnecessary spectacle.
You must be a member of this cult. Before you tell someone to mind their business you should read the Bible. I mean read it with your own understanding not by your pastors understanding. That’s the problem with so called Christian y’all don’t read the Bible you only read it at church and bible study if you took time to read Gods word then you would know this is wrong and not Gods will I pray for the congregation and that Pastor to be stripped from the pulpit in Jesus name Amen
This Pastor made it EVERYONES business!
Because it’s public. And some people are so humanized. That they feel bad for people who are being mistreated. It’s called compassion.
You’re in their business when giving your opinion on it so we’re within our rights to do the same.
Thank you.
Because it’s public. And some people are so humanized. That they feel bad for people who are being mistreated. It’s called compassion
The “unchurch” didn’t release the video to the public to further humiliate her. The “church” did. Please tell us where in the Bible that it states to shame the unwed mother? And why doesn’t the get a lick of shame? This is man making up laws to appease his ego.
What? You gotta be kidding me he’s not good girl he has no heaven or hell to put anybody in! For
Thank You for saying this because it is so true this is the practice at this church and she knew she would have to do this he didn’t put her on spot her and her Mother knew they would have to do this they just didn’t cut the tape or some leaked it out.. He had every right to rebuke her.
What does the Bible say about this? Church practices shouldn’t go against the word of God. And where is the father of this baby? Is he not publicly rebuked as well? Point me to the scriptures that say this practice is biblical
One of the most INSENSITIVE men I know. Man of God? Hmmm. Where is the man? Where is his apology? Did he repentance? What ever happened to; “With loving kindness?”
Come on here. Exactly.
I would never ever let my child endure that! What’s her name and cashapp we will throw her a virtual one. Where is the MAN! He should be up there too! And it should have NEVER EVER EVER been recorded! I’m a church girl and I would NEVER! People don’t do everything right ! Jesus ! I pray this doesn’t turn her away from God. That same Jesus they believe in died to take away the shame! My god 🙏🏾😭
🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Her cash app is $wannabeLPN YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT ELSE HE SAID TO MY SISTER
Wow and the cough at the end sounded like it would take him out…
lol yup
It should have!!!!!😡😡
That’s your cash app.
I will be sending something. Can she do a Facebook live or interview with nc beat so we don’t get scammed
Did two of his children have children out of wedlock and did he make them do this ?
What else did he say to her
Omg! Really? I can only imagine what he said. I’d like to personally meet her. If you could. Message me on my FB page. Andrea Mychelle Davis. I’ll then provide you with my number. My ministry page is On Bended Knee on FB. I need to pour into her & her baby.
The cash app has your name attached to it. I’m confused.
I pray it doesn’t either. It wasn’t God who further put her to shame. It was the Pastor. Once she repents to God, that is it. According to scripture, he throws the sin to forgetfulness and remembers the sin no more. The Pastor put her to open shame on his own. No baby shower. You loose all the prizes and glory🤦🏽♀️ What about when he sinned? God still blessed him. I disagree with repenting to the church. Repent to God.
Amen. Preach right now.
Seriously?!? Are you kidding me?!? Ain’t nobody (yes ain’t) got a heaven or hell to put her in!! Where’s the boy/man because it sure as hell took two. This us so wrong on so many levels.😡😡😡
This happened to me as a teenager as my parents sat and watched. Biggest church hurt I ever suffered. I didn’t owe them NOTHING.
My God. May the Lord compensate you for it all. SMH. It wasn’t God who orchestrated it but. It was Gid who helped you endure it.
1st of all I wouldn’t have made my child go up there and apologize to NOBODY, 2nd that would have been our last Sunday there but this is the reason many people don’t attend church because the pastor and members are just as messy as the people in the world (JUDGEMENTAL)but who is he to apologize to and who is him to judge, she have to stand before for her sins, you don’t repent to man you repent to God. As far as her mother I hope she doesn’t listen to that man and not have a baby shower we as women are here to be fruitful and multiply. Having a baby shower is not condoning her sin.
My goodness. This is so sad, yes the sin is wrong, but the life of a child being celebrated has nothing to do with what she did. Also, you can’t tell people what to do outside of your church, sir. Does anybody else have to apologize when they commit sins of gossip, glunttony, lying, abuse, stealing etc.? She didn’t sin against anyone, but God and that’s who she should be asking for forgiveness from. She sounds very young, and I pray that God will release her from the guilt and shame caused by this. It’s PITIFUL! Prayers for her and her family smh!
So the church does not support each other…struggle in the name of Jesus. I knew all that music and church rocking had a lot of dysfunction behind it. Church hurt is real…
You know, I follow this church on fb saying I want to visit because I go to that area often. This man has turned me off. Yes she sinned but needs to ask God for forgiveness, not man. A baby is a blessing! Baby showers are to shower the baby with gifts. Since when did a mother drink bottles or wear pampers. Just ignorance at its finest!
You’re Right Pure Ignorance!! Seemed like God was sending him a warning to be quiet!! Started coughing. Whewww
FACTS!!
This was very sad and embarrassing a true man of God would know the baring of a child is being fruitful half of his congregation was born out of wedlock he may even be himself but to shame a young lady that’s trying to elevate in God makes a person regress my heart goes out to this young lady 😢 find you a better church home 💖 and congratulations 🎊 👏🏽 your baby will be blessed 🙌
Where’s the grace of God?? The baby has to suffer because of this cult activity. 😔
If I was her momma I would have her one of the BIGGEST baby showers his old a*s has ever seen! You don’t and can’t dictate what someone else do or does for THEIR children! His old a*s better be glad the good Lord didn’t take him out with all that coughing! That would’ve been the LAST day I stepped foot in that church! He’s supposed to be bringing souls closer to Christ not trying to condemn! He doesn’t have a Heaven nor Hell to put anyone in! I would’ve spoken up for my daughter! Hell he might’ve put us out the church once I finished reading him!
THE BIGGEST!!!! Cause 🗣️ Who you talking to?!
This so sad , this pastor is placing judgement on this young lady. That’s why a lot of people stop going to church because of these so called pastor’s.I praise God right in the comfort of my own home and he knows my heart and also knows I love him.
All them people sitting up in that front row was probably with someone else husband or wife last night!@.. sitting up there all “stiff” like they perfect!!! And don’t let me get started on that “reverand!” How many of the old ladies had babies out of wed-lock???? ..and was the preacher born out of Wed lock???….what a bunch of show-boat mess!!@ i would never set foot in that mess again!!
See God almost took him out for saying things like that. That’s why people don’t go to church now church people do the most judging than anybody..
I was thinking the same thing
Who is he to judge? He think he God or something.. He probably was born out of wedlock
Exactly!
Sad and this is not Godly it’s a cult. This is why I don’t go to church anymore I don’t need an ungodly man to tell me how I should live plus. Giving my. Money to help a Pastor, get a new car, new house while I’m without. God bless that child get her away from that cult behavior environment bless that child my God
That’s exactly why he’s choking. Sounding crazy most ppl were born out of wedlock. Is it your baby pastor?? Get out of here!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really was thinking this because this is usually how they try to shame the person they hurt
Crazy thing I said the same thing that’s why he so mad. Let her be it’s 2025 everybody having babies out of wedlock
Amen and who is he to judge and tell someone what they better not do.
Makes you wonder. Or is it his son’s or the well respected Deacon’s…hmmm.
Kim that’s the same thing i said! As soon as he said you better be glad God didn’t take you out…as soon as that came out he bent over and started coughing and choking lol! I think that was his warning from God to sit down and shut up. How in the world is he going to have her standing up there asking those people for forgivness? The only forgiveness she should be asking is to God himself!! It wouldn’t surprise me at all if one of them was the father…but it will soon come out if so.
