No longer good role model!

Got "fired" as a youth group counselor at my church because I am pregnant and not married and they don't want the kids to think that this is appropriate behavior! I am so mad! I couldn't believe that! I put my time and energy every week into something I don't even get paid for and I love these kids! Really upset right now!

This is why I find organized religion to be the biggest absurdity to ever be created. They are just groups of people who believe in the same "magical" nonsense and use it as an excuse to judge everyone else.

I'm sorry to say this, but the truth is that God does not approve of sex outside of marriage. Given that you were working 'for God' you have not represented Him well. So it is understandable that your church got quite upset with you. But having said that, God is also a loving and forgiving Father, who would not shun you for getting pregnant. However you do owe God an apology for having sex out of marriage. After that, forgive your church members - though you shouldn't blame them for a mistake you did. You should be willing to see, and respect, their point of view,  as well. Then you need to also forgive yourself. God bless!

If none of you can see where this church is coming from than I think the problem is your own. Getting pregnant out of wedlock is a sin. That doesn't just apply to biblical times, that means that God has said that we (all of us) are to be married before we have sex and when someone in a leadership role sets an example contradicting the law that God put in place, you should no longer be in that role. None of us are perfect and the only one who can judge us is God and one day we will all me judged on our works but This matter has NOTHING to do with judging her and everything to do with teaching the word of God. I think she can see that they were just in firing her even if she's mad about it.

When I got pregnant with my first child, I was embarrassed and didnt want to go to church due to I wasnt married. My first lady embraced me and told me that the act I had done was a sin,but babies are a blessing because we are here to be fruitful and multiply. Everyone sins but mines was just more obvious because I had a belly compared to those who were doing things behind closed doors. Dont lose your faith and thats probably not the ministry you need to be in, God is awesome and will continue to be with you. New things are in store for you.

This is crazy!! Sometimes the church can have the meanest ppl. It's crazy how a place of worship and joy can be turned into something so negative because of the ppl. I've heard a story similar to one of the other moms that posted, a women wanted her son to be baptized but they wouldn't do it because she wasn't married. He would only do it in private and not with the other children smh! Good luck with your pregnancy and dnt lose your faith because of this there are plenty of churches with good ppl who dnt act that way!

That is crazy! We are to love and accept no matter what not to judge and abandon. My church and youth pastor did the same to a boy in my youth group. He supposedly did something with another girl that was a minor and was supposedly in trouble for, even though nothing happened, and he already came from a bad olace and really needed people there for him to just love him and talk to him you know, like just to be there. But what did the church do? They told him to leave and never come back. A few months later we learned he killed himself and everyine couldnt understand why??? Because no kne was there for him in his time of need instead they just turned their backs in him, which is what your church is doing to you, its rediculous. If God didn't want to bless you with a lil baby then he wouldnt have but he did and even that you(i did as well) went against His word he still gave you this little blessing
