Why the cynicism Brother Hoover? There's nothing to indicate that the man involved is an "Apostolic" of any kind.

Just playing the numbers, since he's openly a "father and grandfather" we can rule out one denomination; but the likelihood is still greatest that he's not "Apostolic." In fact, I've never known an Apostolic pastor to keep Monday office hours. Of course, some advocates of the WwPF will say that this kind of thing goes on "all the time" in Apostolic churches where a longer sleeve length isn't preached.

This is just a sad scenario that has been with us since the dawn of human memory.

in theory that sounds like good advice, Coop. But I wonder how her mother will actually react? I feel for this poor child.

I wonder if someone will direct her to something like a local Crisis Pregnancy Center (that's NOT like Planned Parenthood. At CPC they do not do abortions. They talk to the girls about either keeping the baby and raising it or else releasing the child for adoption) The CPC here is very good about giving support in situations like this. They would get someone involved to go with her to talk to her parents to let tell them about the pregnancy if she felt the need for it.

Are you insinuating that it never or rarely happens among "apostolics" or that people on this forum just like to pick on apostolics more than other denoms? Which is it?

Perps come in all denoms.

My husband (in fact, the whole staff) is here on Mondays; it's our very busiest day! Eddie was here this morning at 4:30 AM!!
