Brave girl.
Oh my God. You’re fucking right. His tone of voice was not repentant, it was declaratory. It was like saying what he ate from breakfast. He didn’t care. You’re so fucking right. Underrated comment. He kept defending himself and correcting the people in the audience. If he really was sorry he wouldn’t have been able to stand on that stage or look the members of the crowd in the eyes. He probably would have resigned weeks prior if he actually had been convicted of his crime. But no. He didn’t care. He was anxious he’d be ratted out like you said. This makes me so sick to my stomach, having grown up in church this kind of thing could have happened and I wouldn’t have known what to have done as a kid. This makes me so sick how twisted they use the scripture. It makes me sick to my stomach to see how they disregard justice just to save face and appear godly. Using “forgiveness” as a means to sweep it under the rug and dismiss the whole thing of responsibly for his crimes. 100% fucking pure evil. God has a special place in hell for this guy. That’s biblically endorsed too. Just read Matthew 23. Jesus literally would be disgusted and condemn these kinds of people. Half of Jesus’ ministry was **against** the so called “Pastors” of his day and age, the Pharisees and Sadducees. He literally warns people to “do what they teach you but not what they do” because he wanted to make a distinction between actually following the law and acting unjustly and lawlessly as the hypocritical teachers would do. If Jesus was around today I bet he would fucking disown Christianity. 100% These fucking hypocrites defend their faith more then they do their fellow man. Disgusting what people will do when you dangle eternal life on a string in front of them.

That's catholic, or some other church that functions like catholics. In most churches, if you committed adultery but repented, you can still be a pastor. As long as it doesn't effect the church in a negative way. However churches like the Catholic Church, have all these rules and regulations that are more about business than worship. A recent priest has been saying lines wrong when baptising. So all these people think they aren't saved anymore because of a simple mistake. Dumb A lot of people think of Catholics when they hear christain. But really most christain churches in the US don't like Catholics. Not the people, just their beliefs. They have idols that step between them and God. A lot of abuse happens in the catholic church too. Bad rep for christains
@@lalotime The Catholic Church, being the oldest institution in the world, with over a billion members across the globe, necessarily has an extensive Code of Canon Law that, ideally, guarantees a degree of oversight and provides channels for conducting business and addressing abuses. However, the form of the Sacrament of Baptism is not a matter of canon law; it is a matter of sacramental theology. So you are wrong to connect the baptismal formula with "rules and regulations that are more about business than worship." On the contrary, the sacrament itself depends in part upon the proper words being said, which principle may be seen in embryo in the New Testament; the baptismal font is not the place for personal ingenuity. The priest in question did not make a "simple mistake"; regardless of his intentions he was either extremely careless or willfully disrespectful of the Church's instructions. Finally, to say that the invalidly baptized are not "save[d]" is to misunderstand the Catholic doctrines concerning salvation, which see a more or less gradual human progress toward beatitude, in cooperation with the divine grace normatively received at Baptism. In other words, if you're going to call something "dumb," I suggest understanding it first.
i went to this church and was in the room when this all happened, the pasture had bribed the family with "church protection" as long as she hadnt said anything. i knew the victim decently well and she was the sweetest person id ever met. i know families who still continue to go here, they removed John and replaced him with his son.
Church protection? Protection from what? Y'all got the Italian mafia running around robbing people, or something? Or did he mean, like, "spiritual protection"? Are they gonna pray extra hard so none of the family gets possessed? I'm genuinely curious what exactly he was trying to bribe her with. Most people dangle money or the promise of a career, but it seems like his bribe was as BS as his "confession".

If you watch enough Chris Hansen or other pedophiles catchers. They all say that. As if it's any better. Same with lying about their age and dropping 10 years off from like 45 to 35. As if it's better. This guy is a pedo.
Baptist pastor here. A lot of problems here. There's a passage in 1 Timothy 5 which calls for a pastor guilty of such sin to be rebuked publicly. This isn't a confession. I'm glad the woman confronted him. A shame the church didn't have more discernment. The Bible does equip us to handle these evil things.
I once had a pastor who told me that he once had a woman come to him and basically admit that her husband was viciously abusing her, and she wanted to seek religious guidance since she believed that men were to be the head of the household. The pastor immediately called the cops and the husband was arrested. I wish there were more pastors who could separate from religion just for a second to do the right thing. So many of these people use it as a way to abuse their position of power. edit: As many people have said, it was a poor choice of words to say "separate from religion." This specifically referenced how people use religion as a shield to do whatever they want.
I am so glad that situation went well. It is unfortunate how we can be so into our faith that we forget that there are legal systems in place for situations like this.
It’s not seperate religion from doing the right thing, it’s separating greed and power to do the right thing. God tells you to turn the other cheek to be patient and loving, to not act back in a hateful, not to flagellate and hurt you. If someone is continually abusing you, you have to leave. (Also usually priests and pastors don’t call the cops due to the person asking not to, which I think is fair to be honest.)
It was kind of smart on the part of the lady who said “you didn’t tell them she was 14 years old.” In doing that she had him admit verbally that she was 16
@@Unmarketable Not defending a pedophile and don’t know where you got animal abuse from, I would never hurt either of my chihuahuas.

He was not there to confess, he was there to save face. The way he goes about "confessing" is incredibly telling to the kind of person he is. Using just the right words to gain sympathy, and leaving out the parts that could be used to destroy his reputation. Guy is the lowest of the low. He doesn't care about repentance. He only cares about how people view him. This was just his attempt at damage control. Whole situation is gross.

I’m thankful for my church my pastor is very humble and knows he is simply here to deliver the message not to be worshipped or looked as a person on a pedestal and never judges anyone. One of the things he said that reeled me in was that he said Church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.
People need to stop forgiving people who do not regret their actions because it just encourages them. This guy doesn't regret his actions, he is not confessing. He is bragging.

I stood up in church when I was much younger and "came forward" about being sexually abused, when my abuser was in the congregation. Didn't mention him by name but it was a terrifying experience. I can't even imagine directly confronting them. The absolute strength of this woman.
And also a room of people that were cheering him seconds ago ! Thank god they saw the distress and stood up for the victim because it could have went a complete other way, and the poor woman would have to reconsider her own life because people minimized the trauma even more. But let's not talk about it I'm just glad it went the way it did !
“She was 14!” “No actually she was 16.” Like that makes it any better. I understand that we should forgive but he admits to “adultery” and they just cheered him on because he admitted it. Also it wasn’t even adultery it was literally child rape. As a Christian it’s bizarre to me that they cheered him on for admitting he had cheated on his wife. Like seriously what is happening to our world.
“Pastors are worshipped more than Jesus.” 100% agree. I went to this youth conference called Generation Unleashed when I was in high school, and I swear, every pastor there had the typical hipster look (Jean jacket, brown shoes, skinny jeans, derpy beard etc.) and they were all treated like one would treat a celebrity. It’s crazy man
stuff like that is the reason I don't go to church, or even really believe in going. You're relationship with God is your own, and you shouldn't need to gather like that, especially when there are so many false believers that are head pastors or priests. I also notice that a lot of people at church are super judgemental, and like to call out others on bullshit to make you feel like shit, and make themselves seem "holier than thou"
@@hinglemccringleberry9389 that depends mostly on the reason they go to church, an interesting study found that those who went to church for materialistic reasons such as relationships, food, connections were found to be the most racist or outwardly judgmental while those who solely wanted to improve their relationship with God and pray were actually some of the least racist people in the population or something like that
Well I mean they are in a church. They doing what the bible teaches. She should take legal action if she wants him to be properly brought to justice. They have a confession and everything on tape. But I do agree forgiving that so quickly is crazy especially because it was done in his church office and 20 years of hypocrisy later after he can take a pension he reveals all smh.

@@icu3869 I'm speculating here, but maybe he has been trying to keep her quiet about it, and she reached a breaking point. I think she probably gave him an ultimatum and told him that he either confesses to everyone or she will just out him. Most would choose to do it themselves so that they can frame to not be as bad as it actually was. That's exactly what he did, and although for a brief moment he seemed to be in hot water...it basically worked...
In Italy this shit wouldn't fly, Americans are very picky about the rules they want to follow, despite screeching "god bless America" every twelve secondd
Is God not all about forgiveness? You forget that in God's eyes all sin is equal except for one. Would you forgive someone for lying? Would you kick him out for lying? If the church doesn't want him as pastor anymore that's definitely reasonable, but to kick him out of the church is not right in my opinion.
I’m so happy to see Charlie point out these things that are wrong about churches, it tends to be people who used to be in the church/faith, like myself
I could not imagine what this was like for her to do. She is so strong, brave and courageous for standing up there and speaking her story immediately after the congregation applauded for her attacker admitting his crimes against her. I could not imagine how that must have felt to hear him talk about it and receive applause. Could not imagine how that felt speaking up in front of everyone. I hope she is doing good and hope he is non-existent anymore.
I agree, she's strong for it, and the act would be hard for many people. Some people are capable of dealing with extremely stressful near death situations in some places of their life, and can still have a fear of presenting information in front of crowds. Some people don't have the ability to deal with those near death situations, but have no fear of presenting information in front of crowds. It's all too complex and interwoven. To put down one persons weakness is to insult another person they would potentially have considered strong. By that I mean, if I were to mock someone for fear of public speaking because I don't have it, I would be unintentionally mocking other people I respect who share that fear. There are so many soldiers out there who could easily physically smack me around like a fish, who incidentally happen to have that fear, just because of how life played out for them. So many people with various respectable qualities. So many in fact, that it would be statistically impossible for me not to end up throwing the insult towards one of those soldiers, if i were to call someone weak for that flaw alone. Humans are extremely complicated and multi-layered creatures, and it's a good thing we're largely past the time of reductive, simplistic points of view such as "people are all cruel". Or "people just live a soft life", right?
@@DoflamingoDonxiquote It IS hard to do. Tell me you haven't been sexually assaulted without telling me you haven't been sexually assaulted. Imagine being as bothered as you by someone coming out about being sexually abused. If anyone is soft it's you. You seem like you sympathize with an abuser, which is absolutely discusting. Like I told you before in another reply thread, seek help.
The nerve of this disgusting human being to call it an “affair” and “adultery” is absolutely mind boggling- Like no you creep you took advantage of a innocent 16 year old girl and I’m sad to say that I have feeling that she isn’t the only one but I hope I’m wrong.
Well, saying "I r***d a child" wouldn't have got him nearly as many hugs or near as spectacular a standing ovation. ...but yes, if he was willing to do it once and accepted everyone's undying love for him after he handcrafted the narrative to get off the hook he most certainly has done it and/or is willing to do it again. But after that you won't see many others come forward to tell their story, sadly.
In the Bible, it talks about how you forgive to be forgiven by God in turn. That letting go of the bitterness in you frees YOU, let's you move on and practice what you preach. What you desire, you also give. It never says to not lock up a POS
He was mainly hoping to avoid the details getting out that he had abused a child. He was hoping to take a smaller L and hoping to leave with his dignity and reputation mostly intact. Had she not spoken up about his bullshit, everyone would've still mostly respected that piece of sub-human refuse.
in Australia 16 years is legal age. ii dont know what you on about.. how ever if he raped her thats a different story and ofc he cheated on his family which is wrong
TO BE FAIR, the word "adultery" in the Bible covers many things. Even premarital sex is considered adultery. So, if you wanna be technical about it, assaulting a woman is adultery, by biblical definition. However, he deliberately uses very broad vocabulary in order for people to not understand the true gravity of his sins.
@@THE-WAY_THE-TRUTH_THE-LIFE. yeah, technically, but it wasn’t JUST adultery. that implies that he just cheated on his wife with another woman, not that he molested an underage girl?? fucking obviously are you okay
They are literally enabling this behaviour. This is gross, those people are gross, and I hope the victim and her family is okay and are able to get away from that environment.
these idiots aren't real Christians, ppl that actually follow the bibles example know that committing adultery is practically almost an unforgivable sin and would have disfellowshipped him from the congregation ceasing all communication with him until he's faced the consequences of his actions according to the law of the land (the court system) don't let these goofballs fool you

We'll just share the story of what a horrible subhuman child rapist he is. I checked up on Pastor John Lowe II of New Life Christian Church and World Outreach in Warsaw, Indiana and found out he has resigned and the authorities were looking at prosecution. The church actually said something fairly decent: "In the wake of what has now been revealed, we are hurting and broken for a woman who has lovingly attended and served in the church for many years, as well as for her husband and family."
Several more victims came forward, as did victims of his son, also a pastor. The son's wife also came forward to talk about being abused by him before she escaped.
As a Catholic, this makes me enraged. We do not boast our sins, especially in this manner. When we seek forgiveness, we are told to do what is right. If this man actually felt sorry for what he did, he would admit to his crime and turn himself over to the police. A simple "sorry" is not enough; one must repent and reap what he sews.
They have a mindset of the "good" and "bad" people. Pastors are always seen as "good" and therefore are "allowed to repent". Its fucking disgusting the guy should be in jail.
@@asherwilson4848 that's just assuming that all religious people are pedophiles and rapists, which is not true. that's just a dumb way of thinking and really ignorant
My husband grew up in that church and was best friends with the victims brother and her. So after my husband and I got married we were trying to find a church and he took me there and I told him that something wasn’t right there. I was not comfortable around the pastor so we went to my church. So glad I followed my instincts.
As a Christian myself, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that not only does this pastor admit to committing a horrible crime and he doesn’t seem guilty about it at all, but the fact that the people in pews applaud him and give him hugs. If the priest at MY church did that, it would completely change the way I view him for the worst.
Totally agree. I was expecting a tearful apology at the very least, but it definitely came off as him doing his best to downplay it. Based the first part of his story I do understand the congregation forgiving him. From their perspective he made a big mistake one time 20 years ago. Biblically there is a separation between forgiving a sin and lack of consequences. He can be forgiven by God/Man, yet still deserve prison. In the same way, his congregation can forgive him, while still not wanting anything to do with him ever again.
Man deserves a restraining order, imprisonment, firing, put on a register for predatory and sex offense conducts, fired again and exiled from the church, as frankly if he is capable of committing harm on people on its premises, he should not be allow near said premises This is only the professional response to such a crime and confession, victims, survivors and witnesses will probably do other unprofessional shit, but the professional and legal response is the bare minimum The monster doesn't deserve rest, enough said
at my brothers church recently the pastor either got caught or came out to the church that he had an affair in the past year or so and he was called to step down and leave the church not applauded and told how good he was for coming clean.
@@saulstein9560 my previous pastor was confronted for having 17+ affairs. He was then brought up in front of the church had to admit to what he did an was then also asked to step down from the position.
I am a Christian and I would gladly drop what I am doing and help this kind of person meet God... whether they're ready or not. The fact that no one felt the need to break this guy's knees is troubling. I don't ever want to look at someone like this and be able to instantly forgive them because they read the bible to me once a week.
Pastor: I am simply a humble sinner Woman: actually she's so brave revealing so many details about a horrific crime to a congregation that just cheered for the guy
This should honestly be shown to people who may have experienced something but haven't come forward about it, seeing the narrative change so quickly when her side came out is somewhat encouraging.
As a rape victim myself I say fucking fair play to that woman for smacking down the truth to the public about what he did to her. Well done mate. I'm glad it's over and you're free from him. Lets hope he stays in jail for what he did.
Ik rape is terrible I amagine the terror I'm sorry that other males are doing this it's disgusting but I don't know what rape is anymore ppl say it's being called a slut or being fun of ect
7:25 this woman in the crowd is actually so smart for overstating the age difference as to make the pastor confess to the actual age of the girl..whether she meant to or not she got the confession out of him that "no, ackschully she was 16" not only does this open up the fact that she was underage it also tells that the pastor was very well aware that he was sexually involved with a minor.
@@Mr12Relic I hate that so much, people will hold onto State ages of consent as if the federal age of consent isn't 18 for a very good reason, and as if that somehow makes it any less creepy. A 16 year old in California is still the same age in Indiana, still a minor no matter what some sleazy laws say.
@@PistenDeer It's not. The vast majority of countries and US states choose 14, 15 or 16. The US federal government didn't magically get the right age over everyone else, nor did california. Your cultural norms are YOUR cultural norms. What's sleazy is that this relatively old man manipulated and abused this young girl from a position of power into having sex with him. Just because the age of consent is 16 doesn't mean "relationships" like this shouldn't be heavily scrutinised, Age of Consent doesn't actually matter that much in itself because even when it's lower you don't get a big rush of teenagers wanting to have sex with middle aged men and women. I think quite clearly age of consent or not, there wasn't consent here. As the replier states, the guy wants to make sure it's 16 because 16 is not underage where he's at and he won't face statutory charges. This would force her to prove rape rather than just sex (the latter of which he's admitted to).
@@Person01234 A lot of countries with age of consent below 18 specify that if someone under 18 has sex with someone that's over 18 it could still be classified as a crime even if the underage person consented.
@@Mr12Relic statutory works anyway, age of consent (if it's under 18) usually means with *other people who are under 18*. 16 yr old with a 30yr old is still (statutory) rape
She would have to file charges or testify in court at the very least and most victims like to distance themselves as far away from the incident as possible
@@noahgillihan7251 it seems she's brave enough to tell an entire congregation about it, and confront him. She doesn't seem like the one to not press charges or do something. Also, if you openly admit in public, and on video, to a serious crime can nothing really be done? The guy admits to child rape but it just doesn't matter because she didn't press charges? That's fucked up. People would just target those they know wouldn't press charges and take advantage of them.
@@Metallic484 if you do not testify in court you cannot really press charges. For example, a cop can have a video recording of you speeding, but if he doesn't go to court that day, you will not get charged with speeding.

Make me remember to Ellie of The Last Of Us
Oh my God. You’re fucking right. His tone of voice was not repentant, it was declaratory. It was like saying what he ate from breakfast. He didn’t care. You’re so fucking right. Underrated comment.
He kept defending himself and correcting the people in the audience. If he really was sorry he wouldn’t have been able to stand on that stage or look the members of the crowd in the eyes. He probably would have resigned weeks prior if he actually had been convicted of his crime. But no. He didn’t care. He was anxious he’d be ratted out like you said. This makes me so sick to my stomach, having grown up in church this kind of thing could have happened and I wouldn’t have known what to have done as a kid. This makes me so sick how twisted they use the scripture. It makes me sick to my stomach to see how they disregard justice just to save face and appear godly. Using “forgiveness” as a means to sweep it under the rug and dismiss the whole thing of responsibly for his crimes.
100% fucking pure evil. God has a special place in hell for this guy. That’s biblically endorsed too. Just read Matthew 23. Jesus literally would be disgusted and condemn these kinds of people. Half of Jesus’ ministry was **against** the so called “Pastors” of his day and age, the Pharisees and Sadducees. He literally warns people to “do what they teach you but not what they do” because he wanted to make a distinction between actually following the law and acting unjustly and lawlessly as the hypocritical teachers would do.
If Jesus was around today I bet he would fucking disown Christianity. 100%
These fucking hypocrites defend their faith more then they do their fellow man. Disgusting what people will do when you dangle eternal life on a string in front of them.

Yup. My grandpa was an elder at his church and was kicked out for leaving his wife for an old flame. Married his old flame. Southern Baptist btw.
cant believe they made them have no bitches 😭 thats amazing
That's catholic, or some other church that functions like catholics. In most churches, if you committed adultery but repented, you can still be a pastor. As long as it doesn't effect the church in a negative way.
However churches like the Catholic Church, have all these rules and regulations that are more about business than worship. A recent priest has been saying lines wrong when baptising. So all these people think they aren't saved anymore because of a simple mistake. Dumb
A lot of people think of Catholics when they hear christain. But really most christain churches in the US don't like Catholics. Not the people, just their beliefs. They have idols that step between them and God. A lot of abuse happens in the catholic church too. Bad rep for christains
@@lalotime Catholic priests can't even marry so how would they divorce
@@lalotime The Catholic Church, being the oldest institution in the world, with over a billion members across the globe, necessarily has an extensive Code of Canon Law that, ideally, guarantees a degree of oversight and provides channels for conducting business and addressing abuses.
However, the form of the Sacrament of Baptism is not a matter of canon law; it is a matter of sacramental theology. So you are wrong to connect the baptismal formula with "rules and regulations that are more about business than worship." On the contrary, the sacrament itself depends in part upon the proper words being said, which principle may be seen in embryo in the New Testament; the baptismal font is not the place for personal ingenuity. The priest in question did not make a "simple mistake"; regardless of his intentions he was either extremely careless or willfully disrespectful of the Church's instructions.
Finally, to say that the invalidly baptized are not "save[d]" is to misunderstand the Catholic doctrines concerning salvation, which see a more or less gradual human progress toward beatitude, in cooperation with the divine grace normatively received at Baptism.
In other words, if you're going to call something "dumb," I suggest understanding it first.

I once had a pastor who told me that he once had a woman come to him and basically admit that her husband was viciously abusing her, and she wanted to seek religious guidance since she believed that men were to be the head of the household. The pastor immediately called the cops and the husband was arrested. I wish there were more pastors who could separate from religion just for a second to do the right thing. So many of these people use it as a way to abuse their position of power.
edit: As many people have said, it was a poor choice of words to say "separate from religion." This specifically referenced how people use religion as a shield to do whatever they want.
I am so glad that situation went well. It is unfortunate how we can be so into our faith that we forget that there are legal systems in place for situations like this.
Good on that pastor for doing that because that’s what any rational human being should do
It’s not seperate religion from doing the right thing, it’s separating greed and power to do the right thing. God tells you to turn the other cheek to be patient and loving, to not act back in a hateful, not to flagellate and hurt you. If someone is continually abusing you, you have to leave. (Also usually priests and pastors don’t call the cops due to the person asking not to, which I think is fair to be honest.)
I agree with your point, but doing the right thing is not inherently separating it from religion at all.
My pastor is liked that he is a very respectable and inspiring man.
It was kind of smart on the part of the lady who said “you didn’t tell them she was 14 years old.” In doing that she had him admit verbally that she was 16

I stood up in church when I was much younger and "came forward" about being sexually abused, when my abuser was in the congregation. Didn't mention him by name but it was a terrifying experience. I can't even imagine directly confronting them. The absolute strength of this woman.
And also a room of people that were cheering him seconds ago ! Thank god they saw the distress and stood up for the victim because it could have went a complete other way, and the poor woman would have to reconsider her own life because people minimized the trauma even more.
But let's not talk about it I'm just glad it went the way it did !
Stupid go to the cops and name drop him. But you didn't that a you issue now.
Sorry that happened to you flaming corgis

So much respect and compassion for this victim.
“She was 14!”
“No actually she was 16.”
Like that makes it any better. I understand that we should forgive but he admits to “adultery” and they just cheered him on because he admitted it. Also it wasn’t even adultery it was literally child rape. As a Christian it’s bizarre to me that they cheered him on for admitting he had cheated on his wife. Like seriously what is happening to our world.
“Pastors are worshipped more than Jesus.”
100% agree. I went to this youth conference called Generation Unleashed when I was in high school, and I swear, every pastor there had the typical hipster look (Jean jacket, brown shoes, skinny jeans, derpy beard etc.) and they were all treated like one would treat a celebrity. It’s crazy man

"Lovers of men, and not lovers of God."
stuff like that is the reason I don't go to church, or even really believe in going.
You're relationship with God is your own, and you shouldn't need to gather like that, especially when there are so many false believers that are head pastors or priests.
I also notice that a lot of people at church are super judgemental, and like to call out others on bullshit to make you feel like shit, and make themselves seem "holier than thou"

My church's Pastor commited adultery, and he was kicked out of the church. Seeing them give him a standing ovation for this is uncomfortable.
this wasn't adultery, it was child r*pe. he should be in jail.
but kicking someone out for adultery is actually going against the bible. cheating is not a reason to kick someone out of a church, the place of forgiveness and "come as you are". that makes zero sense.
What on earth prompted this? The victim said , “ I’m a prisoner no more”. I’m interested in the catalyst or motivation here. ?
@@icu3869 I'm speculating here, but maybe he has been trying to keep her quiet about it, and she reached a breaking point. I think she probably gave him an ultimatum and told him that he either confesses to everyone or she will just out him. Most would choose to do it themselves so that they can frame to not be as bad as it actually was. That's exactly what he did, and although for a brief moment he seemed to be in hot water...it basically worked...
In Italy this shit wouldn't fly, Americans are very picky about the rules they want to follow, despite screeching "god bless America" every twelve secondd
Is God not all about forgiveness? You forget that in God's eyes all sin is equal except for one. Would you forgive someone for lying? Would you kick him out for lying? If the church doesn't want him as pastor anymore that's definitely reasonable, but to kick him out of the church is not right in my opinion.
I’m so happy to see Charlie point out these things that are wrong about churches, it tends to be people who used to be in the church/faith, like myself
I could not imagine what this was like for her to do. She is so strong, brave and courageous for standing up there and speaking her story immediately after the congregation applauded for her attacker admitting his crimes against her. I could not imagine how that must have felt to hear him talk about it and receive applause. Could not imagine how that felt speaking up in front of everyone. I hope she is doing good and hope he is non-existent anymore.
It’s not hard to do. Y’all just live a soft life.
I agree, she's strong for it, and the act would be hard for many people.
Some people are capable of dealing with extremely stressful near death situations in some places of their life, and can still have a fear of presenting information in front of crowds. Some people don't have the ability to deal with those near death situations, but have no fear of presenting information in front of crowds.
It's all too complex and interwoven. To put down one persons weakness is to insult another person they would potentially have considered strong. By that I mean, if I were to mock someone for fear of public speaking because I don't have it, I would be unintentionally mocking other people I respect who share that fear. There are so many soldiers out there who could easily physically smack me around like a fish, who incidentally happen to have that fear, just because of how life played out for them. So many people with various respectable qualities. So many in fact, that it would be statistically impossible for me not to end up throwing the insult towards one of those soldiers, if i were to call someone weak for that flaw alone.
Humans are extremely complicated and multi-layered creatures, and it's a good thing we're largely past the time of reductive, simplistic points of view such as "people are all cruel". Or "people just live a soft life", right?

Well, saying "I r***d a child" wouldn't have got him nearly as many hugs or near as spectacular a standing ovation.
...but yes, if he was willing to do it once and accepted everyone's undying love for him after he handcrafted the narrative to get off the hook he most certainly has done it and/or is willing to do it again. But after that you won't see many others come forward to tell their story, sadly.
Literally the least holy thing I can imagine. If there is a god, dude will burn.
In the Bible, it talks about how you forgive to be forgiven by God in turn. That letting go of the bitterness in you frees YOU, let's you move on and practice what you preach. What you desire, you also give.
It never says to not lock up a POS
He was mainly hoping to avoid the details getting out that he had abused a child. He was hoping to take a smaller L and hoping to leave with his dignity and reputation mostly intact. Had she not spoken up about his bullshit, everyone would've still mostly respected that piece of sub-human refuse.
in Australia 16 years is legal age. ii dont know what you on about.. how ever if he raped her thats a different story and ofc he cheated on his family which is wrong
Calling what he did "adultery" is like being upset about a scratch on my car that's completely totaled.
But what he did was adultery
@Jesus's name was Joshua you have to ask yourself what's worse, SA of a child or adultery.
TO BE FAIR, the word "adultery" in the Bible covers many things. Even premarital sex is considered adultery. So, if you wanna be technical about it, assaulting a woman is adultery, by biblical definition. However, he deliberately uses very broad vocabulary in order for people to not understand the true gravity of his sins.

I am somewhat comforted by the fact that 4.1 million people here know now what he is, and none of us will forgive or hug him. We'll just share the story of what a horrible subhuman child rapist he is.
I checked up on Pastor John Lowe II of New Life Christian Church and World Outreach in Warsaw, Indiana and found out he has resigned and the authorities were looking at prosecution. The church actually said something fairly decent: "In the wake of what has now been revealed, we are hurting and broken for a woman who has lovingly attended and served in the church for many years, as well as for her husband and family."
Several more victims came forward, as did victims of his son, also a pastor. The son's wife also came forward to talk about being abused by him before she escaped.
As a Catholic, this makes me enraged. We do not boast our sins, especially in this manner. When we seek forgiveness, we are told to do what is right. If this man actually felt sorry for what he did, he would admit to his crime and turn himself over to the police. A simple "sorry" is not enough; one must repent and reap what he sews.

As a Christian, this is gross to watch. Pastors are supposed to be servants, like Jesus not worshipped like Kings.
My husband grew up in that church and was best friends with the victims brother and her. So after my husband and I got married we were trying to find a church and he took me there and I told him that something wasn’t right there. I was not comfortable around the pastor so we went to my church. So glad I followed my instincts.
As a Christian myself, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that not only does this pastor admit to committing a horrible crime and he doesn’t seem guilty about it at all, but the fact that the people in pews applaud him and give him hugs. If the priest at MY church did that, it would completely change the way I view him for the worst.
Totally agree. I was expecting a tearful apology at the very least, but it definitely came off as him doing his best to downplay it.
Based the first part of his story I do understand the congregation forgiving him. From their perspective he made a big mistake one time 20 years ago.
Biblically there is a separation between forgiving a sin and lack of consequences. He can be forgiven by God/Man, yet still deserve prison. In the same way, his congregation can forgive him, while still not wanting anything to do with him ever again.
Man deserves a restraining order, imprisonment, firing, put on a register for predatory and sex offense conducts, fired again and exiled from the church, as frankly if he is capable of committing harm on people on its premises, he should not be allow near said premises
This is only the professional response to such a crime and confession, victims, survivors and witnesses will probably do other unprofessional shit, but the professional and legal response is the bare minimum
The monster doesn't deserve rest, enough said

@@DoflamingoDonxiquoteyeah but not everyone is a supporter of child rapists?

As a rape victim myself I say fucking fair play to that woman for smacking down the truth to the public about what he did to her.
Well done mate. I'm glad it's over and you're free from him. Lets hope he stays in jail for what he did.

@@Brcyx193 wtf do u mean. rape is rape
7:25 this woman in the crowd is actually so smart for overstating the age difference as to make the pastor confess to the actual age of the girl..whether she meant to or not she got the confession out of him that "no, ackschully she was 16" not only does this open up the fact that she was underage it also tells that the pastor was very well aware that he was sexually involved with a minor.
He's holding that point because the age of consent in their state is 16, so he's not facing criminal charges for statutory.
@@Mr12Relic I hate that so much, people will hold onto State ages of consent as if the federal age of consent isn't 18 for a very good reason, and as if that somehow makes it any less creepy. A 16 year old in California is still the same age in Indiana, still a minor no matter what some sleazy laws say.
@@PistenDeer It's not. The vast majority of countries and US states choose 14, 15 or 16. The US federal government didn't magically get the right age over everyone else, nor did california. Your cultural norms are YOUR cultural norms. What's sleazy is that this relatively old man manipulated and abused this young girl from a position of power into having sex with him.
Just because the age of consent is 16 doesn't mean "relationships" like this shouldn't be heavily scrutinised, Age of Consent doesn't actually matter that much in itself because even when it's lower you don't get a big rush of teenagers wanting to have sex with middle aged men and women. I think quite clearly age of consent or not, there wasn't consent here. As the replier states, the guy wants to make sure it's 16 because 16 is not underage where he's at and he won't face statutory charges. This would force her to prove rape rather than just sex (the latter of which he's admitted to).
@@Person01234 A lot of countries with age of consent below 18 specify that if someone under 18 has sex with someone that's over 18 it could still be classified as a crime even if the underage person consented.
@@Mr12Relic statutory works anyway, age of consent (if it's under 18) usually means with *other people who are under 18*. 16 yr old with a 30yr old is still (statutory) rape
Raised going to church and still go. I personally have seen 3 situations like this happen in a church and its sexual immorality that is rampant.
''she was 14 years old!''
''no, 16''
''understandable, have a good day''
The guy should serve time in prison for that. Why does he get a free pass for child molestation just because he's a pastor? That's fucked up.
She would have to file charges or testify in court at the very least and most victims like to distance themselves as far away from the incident as possible
@@noahgillihan7251 it seems she's brave enough to tell an entire congregation about it, and confront him. She doesn't seem like the one to not press charges or do something. Also, if you openly admit in public, and on video, to a serious crime can nothing really be done? The guy admits to child rape but it just doesn't matter because she didn't press charges? That's fucked up. People would just target those they know wouldn't press charges and take advantage of them.
@@Metallic484 if you do not testify in court you cannot really press charges. For example, a cop can have a video recording of you speeding, but if he doesn't go to court that day, you will not get charged with speeding.
Rape culture.
@@Metallic484 police dont do shit, as we know
As a Christian, this disgusts me. This is not what Christianity is about. I grew up in an Indian Christian church, this kinda shit would get you banished from the church
@Savetion Xi 😈 cringe bot
same, hope the pastor gets fired
or promoted
@@notthisone2653 No, no it wouldn't
Christianity is really fucking weird
