Turns out the "affair" was with a 16 year old girl in his church, and the women, now 43 and married, had a few things to say about it

quote:

A 65-year-old Indiana church pastor told his congregation that he sinned by committing adultery about two decades ago, in a shocking confession that prompted a woman to step forward and reveal she was his victim at the age of just 16.

“I committed adultery. It was nearly 20 years ago,” Pastor John Lowe II said at the end of services at New Life Christian Church and World Outreach in Warsaw, Fox News reported.

quote:

He then announced that he was stepping down from the ministry — and received a round of applause from the congregation.

But things turned much more awkward moments later, when a woman stepped forward to the microphone along with a man who identified himself as her husband.

“For 27 years I lived in a prison. It was not 20 years … I was just 16 when you took my virginity on your office floor. Do you remember that? I know you do,” the woman, now in her 40s, told Lowe.

“I lived in a prison of lies and pain. Lying to protect the Lowe family. I thought I was a horrible person having suicidal thoughts, not realizing what had truly been done to me,” she said.

“The church deserves to know the truth. This church has been built on lies, but no more. The lies need to stop,” she said.

Frank, there is a search function for a reason. Chicken pays good money for that feature. Use it.

If protestants allowed their pastors to marry this kind of stuff wouldn't happen..

I'm waiting for the plot twist that this wasn't the affair he was originally referring to.

She clearly wasn't that broke up about it because she's still a member of the congregation.

(1) He's a scumbag.

(2) Appears that she wasn't very concerned about any other potential victims for the last 27 years.

She had a consensual sexual relationship with him for years...

quote:

adding that the relationship between Lowe and the woman continued until she was in her 20s.


and stayed in the church for a couple of decades, but she was somehow in "prison"?

bullshite.

Had he raped her or they had been a little drunk, I could see such a claim, but not this. This comes across far more as she held some sort of grudge against him for never leaving his wife for her.

Also coming out, apparently his son molested a young girl years back and the Lowe family covered it up and made the young girl and her family pariahs.

They said on the news this morning that the Po-leece were getting involved. Apparently, it is considered rape to stick your dick in children.

Wasn't he taught this in seminary?
