I am so triggered by this video. I too grew up in the church , left and NEVER looked back. IMHO , organized religion is about control , money, intolerance and judgement . Shame on the pastor and congregation to put this young lady through such trauma . Religious trama is a real thing , I’ll be damn if I left another human do this to me. There is rampant CA and SA in the church and the congregations support the pastors and not the victims. 🤬🤬🤬 I’m glad you called this out .
I remember 23 years ago when I was pregnant and our church had my family and I had to stand up and I was pregnant I didn't really know what to feel about that at the time. I was 19 yrs old.
That would be the last time they saw me and my family. We would all walk out of the church together. The only person my child needs to ask for forgiveness from is God, and that’s a private prayer. It’s not something that needs to be said in front of witnesses.
Auntie, I am heated. Any pastor or congregation that does this is not following Jesus Christ teachings. This "scarlet bull" is horrific! How dare they. I'm so heated, Auntie. Smh.
I love Auntie. She's speaking facts. I come from the super religious background that grew up in that environment and that type of conversation was forbidden. I wasn't taught anything and learned certain lessons the hard way and hated myself for the lack of knowledge I felt lost and still struggle to this day. I was seeking love because I've never felt loved and always judged, so thank you auntie.
This is exactly why so many people want nothing to do with churches because of these abusive religious practices!!! The mother has made it clear she cares more about the pastor and the church than the emotional well-being of her daughter!!!
Thank you so much Auntie for making this video. You are inspiring. I believe every single thing you said. You have a special gift and I am privileged to hear you and know you. Bless your beautiful heart every day. 🙏🏻
It’s true!! My family (mother’s side) are super religious (Apostolic) . They always had something NEGATIVE to say about women who got pregnant and not married. MAJORITY of the women and very young ladies in my family. Therefore, I’m 43 with no children because I never got married. I literally felt that I would be chastised for getting pregnant. I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE (the video of the young lady) and it was traumatizing. I’m grappling with the fact I let that nonsense control my life and decisions. Only to later realize ……… they all got pregnant in their teens (the elders). Chileeeeeee this is one reason I don’t fool with them and their hypocrites!
My baby sister was looked down on by one of the biggest churches in Memphis,TN bc she was pregnant with a mixed race baby. Never in my life seen such shit. My nieces are mixed white and black. They are absolutely beautiful and a blessing. These churches are cult followings. They will discriminate against you for anything and I damn sure would not ever put my kids in a church that looks down on you bc you love someone with a different color skin.
Me either. I was told my amens were to loud. I was asked to leave sanctuary to lobby. I was asked what was I going thru replied nothing. I'm a nurse working night shift on weekends. I was happy because I'm fellowshiping with my God. My girlfriend went the second service and the cameraman fell off the latter. 😮
This is so wrong. She only needs to repent and ask God and God only for forgiveness. Aint nobody else in that church or anywhere else is worthy. Great way to turn people who dont know God and Jesus even further away. SMH.
Pastors like this are normally the ones secretly paying prostitutes. I went thru a situation where I was treated like garbage by a church for being pregnant and unwed. My husband and I had 2 children before getting married. His family is high up in the church and they never mistreated us and stopped attending the church that shunned me pretty much. My father in law is now a deacon at a church and welcomes everyone. Pregnant and unwed,tattooed people, drug addicts, alcoholics,etc. Bc its not about judgment, its about hearing the word of God. I almost named my daughter Scarlett bc of how I was treated. I started attending a new church when I moved. I got asked is there something I can pray about with you, I asked them to pray for my husband bc he was battling drug addiction. How I got treated afterwards was DISGUSTING.. me and my kids haven't stepped foot in a church since then and will not. God is within me, I don't need to attend a cult meeting.
I’m happy this man was there to record. I am not religious (I have my own story). Aren’t babies a gift from god? Should women have open access to birth control? The baby is already conceived - shouldn’t everyone be there to make sure the baby and mom are taken care of? I don’t get religion.
This is heartbreaking how the church humiliated this young woman.The effect that this must have on her mental health during her pregnancy.This church doesn’t represent God at all because God said in the Bible: the one with no sin cast the first stone. God love this woman and her child and He will take care of them.Shame on those farizeers in that church for doing her so wrong.I am so angry.
Wow... this is horrible, was this an immaculate conception? What happened to the man and why is this any of their business? The way I'm set up if that were me and the pastor told me to do that I'm ashamed to say he would have caught my hands and feet! I have to add that when you are raised in a strict religious household the usual way is to shield, overprotect and gaslight until the children either rebel (like I did) or they become indoctrinated adults with poor life skills and the inability to form healthy relationships due to the guilt and perceived judgement hanging over them.
See Auntie when I say it’s the person behind the pulpit they tell me it’s me.. My pastor and family judged the snot out of me for an unwed preg and convinced me to put him up for Adoption and four years later his youngest has an unwed and she got to keep hers with their help. He also slid his hand up my leg a little too high.. Yeah nope I pray and read at home
This is very common in the apostolic pentecostal churches... They believe you have to come before the church and reveal your sins... However, scripture says to go before the 'elders' in PRIVATE. (I'm paraphrasing.... I grew up in this and have converted to another religion. I saw this type of thing being done SEVERAL TIMES... Very sad... They will have to give in account for this because what about their "hidden sin" that others can't see? 🤔 People are not perfect and no person should pass condemnation.... Extremely thankful to no longer be under that teaching! They also forget that the most influential individuals in the Bible were born out of wedlock....
I was raised in church. But stopped going 10 years ago. I believe in the Lord, but church is not for me. Some people do everything sinful during the week, but go to church on Sunday and want to judge you.
I feel ya. I say religion is the root of all evil. No offense to anyone, but I feel this way. Many times it’s way to hide hate and judgment and holier than thou behavior. I’ve experienced it too. Not like this, thankfully, but some pretty horrible ways as well. I am as enraged as you are.
Respectfully, are we dealing with preachers who are semi-literate or illiterate about Christianity. Many such preachers simply start preaching and attract a following without any in-depth studying or reflection on Christ and His teachings. We are all sinners, and this belief s biblical. Why are those who are pregnant out of wedlock the only ones who must make a public confession? I doubt if all of those who are unmarried are celibate. Why are they also not required to make public confessions and promise to stop sinning? I can't imagine Auntie attending any denomination with such unholy practices, especially since she is providing counseling of sorts to the public. Now, we must question her advice to us. We don't know what caused her to stop attending church, but we know that all Christian denominations do not practice such vile theology. Jesus said let one who is as white as snow cast the first stone. That man who is hell-bent on closing down the church is wrong as well. He is violating the law and the Constitution. The pregnant teen and the child's father are wrong, but the girl's parents should support the young lady and their grandchild. The child's father should also provide some support for his child.The situation would, however, bring shame to our family.
Your relationship should be with God and Fellowship with the church members. You don't have to leave church. You do however have to use your Discernment. Flee from a church like this. Her apology and repentance is between her and God alone. I'm sure every member in that church has sinned, as All have. If this pastor is going that route than every person, starting with the pastor needs to stand in front of that table and confess their sins.
Shame on them. Jesus would never do this… Jesus hated religion. Do they not read the Bible and remember how Jesus spoke about the pharisees? What a shame. Jesus is love .. no shame or religion
I am a ex pastor i no longer affiliate myself with churches for 15 years now not for me it's really an institution.😅❤
To the pastor, whomever is without sin throw the first stone! I bet the pastor is not sinless! Smh
My heart goes out to the girl ❤
I am so triggered by this video. I too grew up in the church , left and NEVER looked back. IMHO , organized religion is about control , money, intolerance and judgement .

Thank you Auntie. I feel for the young lady. There's no need for them to shame her. What's done is done.
I wish I would let someone embarrasses my child like that
That’s what I’m saying!
I remember 23 years ago when I was pregnant and our church had my family and I had to stand up and I was pregnant I didn't really know what to feel about that at the time. I was 19 yrs old.

Auntie, this video was AN ENTIRE word! I hope those who needed to hear this have learned a thing or two.
Terrible! I wouldn't have let mine get up and that. Also where was the boy? The pastor isn't the judge and the jury.
She didn't get pregnant by herself. Thats judt ridiculous. I bet thst "pastor" is living well in those poor, ignorant people.
Facts!
Aunt , right all have come short of the glory
💯
Auntie, I am heated. Any pastor or congregation that does this is not following Jesus Christ teachings. This "scarlet bull" is horrific! How dare they. I'm so heated, Auntie. Smh.
God bless her and her baby
Auntie, I do hope this young lady sees this video. What an impact it will do for her. You did your thing. Many thanks Auntie❤❤
Mother abandoned her daughter for church NOT GOD ..OMG
I love Auntie. She's speaking facts. I come from the super religious background that grew up in that environment and that type of conversation was forbidden. I wasn't taught anything and learned certain lessons the hard way and hated myself for the lack of knowledge I felt lost and still struggle to this day. I was seeking love because I've never felt loved and always judged, so thank you auntie.
Absolutely Scartlet Letter .. God never said ask ur people for forgivness
This is exactly why so many people want nothing to do with churches because of these abusive religious practices!!!
The mother has made it clear she cares more about the pastor and the church than the emotional well-being of her daughter!!!
I just read a few seconds ago someone said the mother said they not accepting anything from anyone so sad
I agree with everything you said Auntie. Thanks for covering this story! It's a shame what that church did to that young lady.
Thank you so much Auntie for making this video. You are inspiring.
I believe every single thing you said. You have a special gift and I am privileged to hear you and know you. Bless your beautiful heart every day. 🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤you are a beautiful soul! You spoke truth and love! I pray she and others in need of guidance see your video. Thank you Auntie❤
You telling the truth and a lesson.

Yall sure she's not pregnant by the pastor?? These days u can't be sure

Thanks!
I left the church myself because of the contradiction I saw with the members of high leadership in the church. I pray for this young lady 🙏🏿 ❤️.
I’m happy this man was there to record.

Awesome message Auntie. Love you!!! ❤
There’s a fine example of hipocrisy . So sad
Pastor probably mad he couldn’t have her… I don’t trust them!!!
Wow... this is horrible, was this an immaculate conception? What happened to the man and why is this any of their business? The way I'm set up if that were me and the pastor told me to do that I'm ashamed to say he would have caught my hands and feet!

If I never hear another one this was the one. You gave some words and thank you for it❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video Auntie.
My favorite Auntie talk so far. Hypocrites
This is so misogynistic! Sickening!
Where is the boy/man that aided in her getting pregnant with?
Yes we was baptist growing up lol. Our pastor NEVER did no shyt like that and my parents wasn’t going to LET that happen. Crazy work
See Auntie when I say it’s the person behind the pulpit they tell me it’s me..

Preach it, Auntie, com'on 🙌🏼.
Can't watch this it is things like this that I stopped going to church.
Tax the churches. I am so sick of this Christian hate
Preach auntie!

Is Pastor free of sin?
ROF @ you dragging this woman that tried to cut in front of you.
He wouldn’t answer the question.. wow
How do we know she wasn’t raped? Mayb by the pastor?…
Kyreen Orange, is the young lady name.
I was raised in church. But stopped going 10 years ago. I believe in the Lord, but church is not for me. Some people do everything sinful during the week, but go to church on Sunday and want to judge you.
Yes, a baby is Innocent!! I’ve got too many sweet babies in my family to be Holier Than Thou!!
Why Auntie sound like Madea retelling the store story? Lol
I have seen this at my local church. Where da boy
what if the pastor is the baby daddy?
Scarlet Letter
I feel ya. I say religion is the root of all evil. No offense to anyone, but I feel this way. Many times it’s way to hide hate and judgment and holier than thou behavior. I’ve experienced it too. Not like this, thankfully, but some pretty horrible ways as well. I am as enraged as you are.

Shame on them. Jesus would never do this… Jesus hated religion. Do they not read the Bible and remember how Jesus spoke about the pharisees? What a shame. Jesus is love .. no shame or religion
