PASTOR ABUSES HIS WIFE

This morning when I checked my computer, the first thing I noticed was a message regarding the woman below, who happens to be the wife of a prominent pastor.  I was horrified at the abuse of course, but even worse, was the negative feedback and backlash she received for posting the information and pictures on Facebook.

As an advocate for Domestic Violence, we know this is a crime which continues to remain silent, and mostly hidden; yet when it is announced publicly, the person who was abused, gets victimized all over again by society.  I don't get it.  The issue here is not that it was posted on Facebook in my opinion, but that there has been a crime committed, however we found out about it.

This pastor has been removed from his position at the church, and we can only pray that he gets the help he needs to gain healing.  His wife, on the other hand, has to somehow manage to hold her head high in the midst of everything that has happened, and she'll need support and love.

If you, or someone you know is being emotionally or physically abused, please offer your kindness.

Please take a look at all of the messages posted below from the victim's Facebook page, and know that the comments keep on coming.

  • Yve Moore My heart and prayers goes out to both parties. No can honestly say what they would do until in this type of situation. I'm even more grieved that when the world looks at this, it will also be another "Turn Off", even more mockery and reproach brought on GOD'S CHURCH. A place that's supposed to be a safe haven.

  • George Moore Hurt people hurt people, but you are choosing to accept the abuse by staying in it. If you think you are going thru this to please God, then it's wrong. Like I said before Jesus went through all kinds of punishment so that we do not have too. This is NOT the way of the Kingdom of God which is righteousness (right standing with God our Father), peace (shalom) and joy (strength) in Holy Spirit. Inner Peace was a highly sought after gift in the Old Testament, not a title, state of prosperity, etc... I suspect a generational influence of abuse is in the midst and bondage to that situational abuse. You two being one flesh doesn't mean he had a right to hit you because he hates himself. Ephesians 5:29 (NIV) reads "After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church--"

  • Keir Coleman Ward WHEN YOU CRY FOR HELP AND YOU REALLY NEED HELP YOU CRY ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE TIL SOMEONE LISTENS AND ACKNOWLEDGES. YOU DONT CONCERN YOURSELF WITH APPROPRIATENESS WHEN YOUR FACE AND HEAD LOOK LIKE THAT!! Often times the police don't even take domestic violence seriously so the woman is right for reaching out to whomever will listen and help! Even social media! Some ppl don't know what it feels like to feel stuck or backed in a corner with seemingly no way out and so they lack compassion for ppl in that situation. Smh.
    Now maybe they can both get the help they need.

  • Henrika Benford Why Facebook? You are crying out for help, and I feel this is not the first time he has hit you, you both need help. You obviously are in a confuse mind state when a man goes for you in your face it really is to make you unattractive to anyone else as a minister you know this is a situation you need to leave domestic violence is serious, and ladies don't go hitting on a man , getting in his face challenging him and don't think he will charge you back I don't know the situation but to post this on Facebook and then say well he just has a bad temper you obviously need professional help.

  • George Moore No, I have too Martin. First, this not about Jesus, it's about a woman who believes in Him crying out for help through social media. As brothers and sisters in Christ we can either say 'it was wrong for her to put her business in the street' and ignore and say she is crying wolf or we can respond as Jesus would do. I'm responding like Jesus would do and no judge why she chose this outlet to do so.

  • Natalie Small Ok let me say this. If the allegations are indeed true and he is abusing her then she should professional help. As a member of the 5fold this is not the place to post such things. We all are and should be compassionate at the same time we have To be truthful. Fb is not the place for this bottom line but either which way both need help and counseling neither should be ministering until a full forgiveness has been reached
