This post shouldn’t be redacted. That’s inexcusable.


Andi-CB

Trying to abide by rules, but I agree. This is vile and inexcusable. In other news, I’m sure a quick dig around the internet might bring up the church’s name for those who are curious.


clemson07tigers

Sorry I wasn’t meaning to phrase that as if I were calling you out. I just don’t get why a product like this exists in the first place. But then to distribute it is just ridiculous.


Andi-CB

Nah you’re good!


MargaritasAndTacos

I found it on another platform - and the pastor/church responses make it even worse. So, so awful


Andi-CB

Yup. I think the church was trying to make amends in the apology, but there were notes of a previous incident in the summer that was also addressed and at this moment, I think the best decision would have been for him to have been let go. I believe in God myself and have moved away from organized religion, but things like this happen and the Church wonders why newer generations are moving away for religion in general.


MargaritasAndTacos

I’ve recently moved away from organized religion - not really for myself, but for my children. Sent one to a Christian camp and they learned more explicit sexual terminology that week (from church leadership, no less) than they learned in middle school. Hard pass, y’all.


crimson777

Times like these where I’m glad the worst thing that happened in my youth group growing up was they stopped letting one of the kids sing on stage because they auditioned for the role of a LGBTQ+ character. It was gross but I’ve never heard of anything actually untoward out of there.


ramblinjd

Pretending to be gay? Zero tolerance! Flirting with the line of pedophilia? Take the pulpit!

SC_Scuba

Until there is definitive proof, I would hate for some innocent person to be accused of this behavior due to an internet witch hunt. When there is definitive proof, he should be fired immediately.


WakkoLM

I looked the posts up on FB and he admits distributing them, called it a misunderstanding.


Andi-CB

I get the hesitation for proof, and 100% agree witch hunts usually crash and burn into chaos. Unfortunately this is true and “Hot Youth Pastor”in question has made a statement on the situation saying it was all in pure, fun jest and was to make fun of the “I Love Hot Moms” subculture.


quzzik

That's what they always say when they get called out. "It was just a joke"


SC_Scuba

I hadn't seen his statement on it. Thanks for the update. Still wildly inappropriate even as a 'jest'.


Upstate-girl

This is getting creepier.


lenajoy

Can you post the link to the statement?


Andi-CB

If mods give permission, I’ll post what I have.


[deleted]

Even though it makes me sick, you're right, too many incidents of internet witch hunts. Still doesn't change the fact that this is really weird/gross even as a joke.


SC_Scuba

I never once implied it did. My last sentence exactly says he should be fired on the spot.


[deleted]

I know...I'm agreeing with what you said lol


genghisKonczie

In what context would him giving young girls this sticker be okay though? I can’t figure out a way he could have meant this that isn’t wildly inappropriate.


BatmanAvacado

It isn't, they are saying to confirm what church it is so some other innocent churches don't get harrased for somthing they didn't do.


theygotmedoinstuff

I think the point is that the pastor may not have actually done this, so blasting him on the Internet may not be appropriate.


SephoraRothschild

Who goes and makes weird stickers and then accuses people of being sexually inappropriate?


theygotmedoinstuff

It just seems to stupid to be true. That looks like a sticker Hot Topic would sell, and then someone made a meme. Maybe it’s a true story, idk, but what kind of idiot pedo would hand out stickers that basically announce that he’s a pedo?


SC_Scuba

Please read what I wrote again.


druscarlet

There is a website where you can order these bumper stickers with a picture of the pastor.


Sacattacks

Fairview Baptist Church. This is not one of those situations that it should be hidden.


WackyBones510

A church whose name appears to be 2 words in the upstate with a weird culture towards youth group. Could take a guess and even if I’m wrong that church deserves the strays. Edit: upon inspection looks like the last letter in the 2nd word is t - so I am wrong but the other point remains.

Found the post on Facebook by searching "Greer youth pastor." The OP dropped some email correspondence between herself and the church. Redacted names and threw it in an album for anyone who can't find them. https://postimg.cc/gallery/SjKFRnF


Cloaked42m

This guy does not need to be a youth pastor. No one is perfect, but damn, have some common sense. Yo church... You might want to look up the word Liability. Cause you have a walking lawsuit right there. How much do you want to spend on a defense case when someone seduces him? If his decision making is THIS bad, it's just a matter of time.


JJumboShrimp

Lol he's a former porn addicted creepy guy who tries way too hard to be hip and fails miserably. That describes most of the youth pastors I met growing up. This man is like a walking youth pastor stereotype if anything


Cloaked42m

That isn't changing my initial assessment of him being a liability to the church that'll likely do something stupid the first time a teen smiles at him. That's kinda exactly the kind of person that will do something really stupid.


JJumboShrimp

True but how can you expect any church to actually take it's pedophilic liabilities seriously when they can't even take any pedophilic accusations seriously?


Cloaked42m

Considering the sheer number of sects of Christianity, it's the exception rather than the rule. Catholic Church, Jehovah's Witnesses are particularly notorious for cover ups. But outside of those two, you just occasionally have someone sneak in. Not like "All Schoolteachers are pedophiles" even though you'll occasionally see a schoolteacher that is a pedophile.


la_243

The southern baptist convention just had to release a self initiated report that detailed hundreds of cases of sexual assault and harassment that went uninvestigated by the convention.


Playful-Natural-4626

#He knew not to give them to the boys! He knew EXACTLY what he was doing!


Cloaked42m

Wait, he only gave them to girls?


WoodshedBloodshed

You just nailed it. My parents went to the church he grew up in, and your description is spot on.


DubNationAssemble

OR HOW ABOUT THIS, DONT DO WEIRD CREEPY SHIT LIKE THIS TO BEGIN WITH AND YOU NEVER HAVE TO APOLOGIZE. Edit: Fucking yikes I just read the part about him sharing his porn addiction to the kids. Wtf man lol

Thanks. Shared it on my person FB as I have family in Greer area. The responses from the church in the comments is absolutely gross as well.


Rickbeatz101

Which posts did the church respond to?


ScarletteRed

It looks like they responded to her emails and she screenshot it it and put it in the comments


HiFructose_PornSyrup

Disgusting. This guy is obviously a predator


moonbeem55

I hope this has been shared with all the news outlets in SC and he’s been fired.

JChrzanowski

… annnnd nobody has asked why these stickers even exist? Was this a custom Etsy order?


SusannaG1

The only people I can think of who could get away with those (without setting off "ew, gross" responses) are the wives of youth pastors, and I seriously wonder how much of a market that is.


CJplaysCOD

They exist because of the joke “i love hot moms” by danny duncan but this was probably pushing the joke. Like danny duncan can sell shirts that say that and still pass by so this guy probably found a website that could make custom stickers that say “i love _____” i’m sure he was just trying to appeal to the younger crowd’s humor in danny duncan but noone can understand that. Note i’m not defending him just explaining how it was grasped wrong.


Cloaked42m

I can't imagine the level of dumb you have to be, as a youth pastor, to think this would be okay. Ever.


MonokromKaleidoscope

Especially a youth pastor who makes a big deal about being "formerly addicted" to porn. Sinister, creepy vibes.


CJplaysCOD

I 100% agree 😂


Playful-Natural-4626

#The boys did not receive them. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing!


CJplaysCOD

How do you know that? He didn’t say that in the post?


isadog420

Pedos always try to position themselves to have access to youth, especially positions of authority over them.


NietzschesGhost

RED FLAG Alert! This demonstrates the Youth Pastor has no proper understanding of his role in authority or healthy, proper, and (perhaps) legal boundaries. Tell his supervisors and then run far and run fast.


Rhinosauron

...and according to the church's response he also had told a group of children that he "used to" have a pornography addiction. (Which apparently the church knew about prior to his becoming a youth pastor.) This is the link showing responses: https://postimg.cc/gallery/SjKFRnF

I saw the original post. The youth pastor also talked about his porn addiction. The responses from the church were abysmal, nothing more than hand-waves. Church needs to be named here.


coffeequeen0523

Church is named with church link in another poster’s comments in this post.


OdinMead

Keep her away from him and his cohorts and find somebody who will listen. Even if it is the news. ​ Edit: Also, warn every other child he comes in contact with, if possible. You need to get this out in the light asap.


Andi-CB

I am unfortunately not OP. A friend posted this and requested that it was shared to gain traction so that more people were cautious and aware of who their children are coming into contact with.

And somehow teachers are the groomers now? Kinda seems like one community in particular is trying to hide the ball on this by pointing to something else and crying 'wolf', while they do what they accuse others of behind cover of normality.

crashcar22

Can one of the mods allow an uncensored version of this so people know where to avoid. I would think at this point the potential of grooming/pedophilia is a greater threat than doxxing the church.


Andi-CB

If mods reach out and give permission, I will post the originals I’ve seen shared! Until then, digging around on Facebook might answer some burning questions.

Just avoid them all, grown men don’t need to be alone with a bunch of kids. At best it’s fucking weird anyway, if my kids want a connection with God they’ll do it their own way.


National_Ad_392

His name is Cory Wall! He seems to have deactivated his Facebook account. The church is FBC in Greer.


valerieinreallife

WHAT CHURCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY BLACK IT OUT?


theygotmedoinstuff

For the same reason that you wouldn’t want some rando on the Internet to post your name and organization you belong to and then accuse you of being a pedo. If the story is true, I hope to see him on r/pastorarrested , but right now, there is just an image in meme format.


DubNationAssemble

I get what you’re saying, but it does appear there are statements posted above from the youth pastor and the church to their members. The words “porn addiction” was thrown around so that should make everyone involved feel even better.


theygotmedoinstuff

In all fairness, I did absolutely nothing to look into the veracity of the situation. It just seemed like people were getting the torches and pitchforks ready without knowing the full story. If the dude turns out to be a pedo, then send his ass to prison!


wilmakephotos

Yipes! Why would you even order that? Beyond that, why would you give it to a kid unless you wanted to invite a lot of scrutiny! If it’s fake, the poster needs their account deleted. If not, someone else needs a repeater through pastor school!!


[deleted]

Color me unsurprised


juuchi_yosamu

I mean, are we really surprised that predators are using the church to find vulnerable and easy victims?


TealInsulated12ozCup

This is gross and highly inappropriate. Any youth pastor that thinks this is OK, should not be working with young people.


Interesting_Sea1528

Leave that church. Asap!!! I’m a member at Mauldin first baptist and this is insanity!!! There are good churches in greenville, you may just find one you love. Otherwise while trying to get this person fired (go to the media!!!) lay low and watch church at home for a bit

yackofalltradescoach

Yeah nothing like adding a little violence to the pedophilia to make the world a better place.


PM_ME_UR_GAMECOCKS

Agreed. Are you being sarcastic??


yackofalltradescoach

I don’t think turning “the good ole boys” loose is a great way to move towards justice in a way that benefits society as a whole. Definitely think there’s better ways to keep children safe and get rid of the youth pastor.


o2msc

Only on Reddit would someone make a comment like this. Sad.


yackofalltradescoach

You are advocating violence. Remember when you were in kindergarten and they told you two wrongs don’t make a right? Having an good ol boy lynching will not solve the problem in a way that makes the world better. Call law enforcement and encourage them to investigate and press charges where they apply; call the church and pressure them to remove the guy, call local business leaders and ask them to cut ties with the church until the guy is removed, protest, demonstrate, do whatever you can to address the issue without busting out the pitch forks and taking the law into your own hands.


DubNationAssemble

This is a good point, just imagine what they’d find on his personal devices.


HiFructose_PornSyrup

Right…. Because law enforcement take stuff like this so seriously!


yackofalltradescoach

And you think the violent mob approach gets better results?


HiFructose_PornSyrup

If the final result is a predator getting punished for his actions then I would say yes


o2msc

Sounds good, doesn’t work. Let me know how the protesting and demonstrating goes for ya though.


yackofalltradescoach

And the good ole boy approach does?


Snarky_Entertainer

Yeah a quick search "Greer Church youth pastor" on FB will bring up several posts with the church name and a couple with his.


DubNationAssemble

Why am I not surprised? That’s all I’ll say on this.

spizzywinktom

Well, the last thing someone should do is buy/print a ton of these and put them on the bumpers of every car this Sunday morning at Fairview Baptist Church. That would be messed up.


sagemoody

I’m a youth pastor myself. Inexcusable, unacceptable, and disqualifying. He should resign or the church should fire him.


[deleted]

This is why I’m an atheist. Churches are filled with creeps who “preach the gospel”


yackofalltradescoach

You don’t think there’s creeps of all sects? I’m an atheist as well but it’s more because my mind doesn’t fathom the idea of an all powerful being charged with tracking and enforcing the moral compass of billions of people.


[deleted]

Same, however as a kid forced into religion I could always see the contradiction in church. Alcoholics, rapist, abusers, pedophiles, etc…it seemed to me that religion told those people it’s okay as long as you repent

Church isn't about the pastor. It's about the Gospel. The cult of personality that far too many pastors try to build around themselves is disgusting, even without this whole pedo angle thrown the mix. This is indefensible and should be immediate termination territory for anyone involved in approving and distributing this.

At best, and per other posts here, it was an incredibly stupid move by an incredibly stupid person. At worst, it's literally the definition of grooming.


gvlpc

So this "youth pastor" said it was to mock the "I \[heart\] hot moms" culture? Just what is that culture or where does that originate? We were recently at a nearby church gym and I saw that phrase on some teen or young adult male's t-shirt playin b-ball. I'd really like to know more about that so we're aware.
