You posted a letter last week that gave me the courage to write you about a situation I am in. The girl said her mother was involved with the pastor and I too am involved with my pastor but I do not want to be. My pastor has been a menace to me since I was 13 years old and now I am almost 25 years old. The problem is, my parents trusted him and so did all of the church members so when he asked that me and a few other girls stay for choir practice and other activities, nobody thought it was odd. I don't know if he is still involved with the other girls but he still sees me. He took my virginity and this might sound weird but I fell for him. Now, I want to escape him but I do not know how. He is so influential that I am sure nobody will believe that he has been involved with me for so many years. I am afraid and mostly ashamed of what I allowed to happen to me. He told me he will hurt me if I speak of anything that has happened between us. What should I do? There is a guy that I am beginning to have feelings for and I don't want him to know about the pastor. I would like to have a normal relationship with him. What should I do?
Signed,
Another Pastor Love

Dear Another Pastor Love,
It is very important that you expose this predator to the public. He should be in jail for what he did to you and the other girls. Try to get in touch with the girls and see if they would be willing to come forward with you. If not, still report the matter to the authorities and explain your concerns about the pastor threatening you and his probable denial of all allegations.
You will probably be asked to provide evidence. Suggest a secretly recorded meeting where you speak of all the activities with the pastor and make reference to the first incident when you were just a child. I would suggest you carry out the recording on your own but I don't know where you are and audio recording could be illegal without getting permission first.
You may also be faced with statute of limitations issues but you should still go forward with your information and at least expose the pastor for the criminal that he is. You never know, he may still be abusing children today and you have the power to stop that and ensure his prosecution.
Walk good,

ReplyDeleteWtf!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't bother with some foolish people. To much people give pastor everything down to there last savings. That's why pastor takes what he wants because he feels so powerful and these fools follow as if they don't know what the good book says. Pastor change bible verse to please himself and gain as much as he can. I hope you people wake up.
