A Memphis pastor made a startling confession

A Memphis pastor made a startling confession that he had engaged in a “sexual incident” with a high school student 20 years ago – then received a standing ovation from his congregation, according to reports.

“As a college student on staff at a church in Texas more than 20 years ago, I regretfully had a sexual incident with a female high school senior in the church,” Andy Savage said Sunday at Highpoint Church, CBS News reported.

His admission came a few days after Jules Woodson accused Savage of sexually assaulting her during a ride home in 1998 when she was 17 and he was the 22-year-old youth minister at a Houston church.


Woodson described her ordeal on a remote dirt road in a blog post.

“Suddenly, Andy unzipped his jeans and pulled out his ****. He asked me to **** it. I was scared and embarrassed, but I did it. I remember feeling that this must mean that Andy loved me. He then asked me to unbutton my shirt. I did. He started touching me over my *** and then *** my *** up and began ***** my breasts,” she wrote on Watch Keep."

“I remember him pleading, while he was on his knees with his hands up on his head, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. What have I done? Oh my god, I’m so sorry. You can’t tell anyone Jules, please. You have to take this to the grave with you,’” she wrote.


Woodson said she felt compelled to finally speak out in light of the “Me Too” movement sweeping across the country and NBC’s firing of the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer because of sexual misconduct.

She said she emailed Savage last month and he responded Monday — again apologizing.

“Until now, I did not know there was unfinished business with Jules,” Savage, 42, said during the service. “Jules, I am deeply sorry for my actions 20 years ago. I remain committed to cooperate with you toward forgiveness and healing.”

Church members then stood and applauded him for about 20 seconds.

Highpoint’s lead pastor, Chris Conlee, told the congregation that he supported Savage, who he said was one of the people “hurt by the ripple effect of the consequences of that sin.”

“It’s disgusting,” she said tearfully, adding that she reported the incident on Monday to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, which is just north of Houston.

“I just hope that by me coming forward that I would give courage to one other person,” Woodson said. “It doesn’t matter if I was his only victim. What matters is that this was a big problem and continues to go on.”

certainly not behavior that should be applauded.

 

Why was this phony excuse for a Christian youth "minister" given a standing ovation by a bunch of despicable phony bastards? A Fornicating standing ovation for a POS who molested a girl. Yes she was legal I agree but this from people who call themselves Christians giving a bag of human crap standing ovation because he finally admitted that he molested a girl while he was a " youth minister".

What is wrong with with our country that Turds in a so called church meeting stand and give another Turd a standing ovation just because he was pressured to admit that he molested a girl 20 years ago.

 

I see this as related to the Roy Moore case where there were almost enough voters to send a child molester to the senate.

I have been so disgusted with "religious " people being phony and itvstarted with Catholic priest screwing little boys and young teens and the Church for the most part covering it up.

As a Catholic I was so disgusted that only go to church for family events.

 

Didn't Bill Clinton do the same things, and worse, about the same time-frame? After all oral sex isn't really sex now is it?

Just saying because if you stood behind Bill Clinton you have no room to throw stones... And you Hillary backers are hypocrites on this issue...

 

Was Monika's Boyfriend Bill a minister or a priest or a rabbi or a televangelist? NO NO NO he was not so don't try to render what this so called youth " minister" did as a nothing burger just because Billy Bod got hus willie wanked by Monika.

 

Not comparable crimes moral crimes that is.

 

when did Bill Clinton have sex with underage children???

The pathetic excuses of the Republican Right Wing "Christians" never end!

Could it be a brain damage syndrome that makes these people undestand that adults are NOT supposed to have sex with children?

 

Nothing to applaud here at all, but it doesn't seem that he did anything illegal if the story is true.

I don't like it personally, but doesn't seem like the law would have been broken.

 

Bill was the PRESIDENT of the United States much much much further up the food chain of sexual abusers...

Making excuses for the rich and/or powerful is how the rich and/or powerful get away with this stuff...

 

It does not matter where in the stratus Clinton was his sins are no excuse for anyone else to commit a crime or ax moral FUBAR.

 

He was President of the United States and it was in the Oval Office of the United States and with a subordinate employee on the job.

 

What are the excuse to allow him to do so? Let's not forget Jones and the crime he committed against her and then the crimes he committed in court when she sued him. What are those excuses?

 

"“Suddenly, Andy unzipped his jeans and pulled out his ****. He asked me to **** it. I was scared and embarrassed, but I did it. I remember feeling that this must mean that Andy loved me. He then asked me to unbutton my shirt. I did. He started touching me over my *** and then *** my *** up and began ***** my breasts,” she wrote on Watch Keep."

“I remember him pleading, while he was on his knees with his hands up on his head, ‘Oh my god, oh my god. What have I done? Oh my god, I’m so sorry. You can’t tell anyone Jules, please. You have to take this to the grave with you,’” she wrote."

She was a high school senior, why didn't she tell him to stop and take her home? He had no power over her.

 

That still does not give others the right or excuse to behave the same way or commit the same crime.

 

Even if you are correct and even if Clinton was guilty how does that give the right to others to commit rape. Again Inam not saying that Clinton is guilty but even if he was itvstill js no excuse for someone else to commit the same crime.

 

I agree. Aholes run the gamut of the food chain. One should NOT be selective on going after a sh!thead due to party, race or sex when dealing with this issue. Same rules and same time frame for digging up the past for all...

 

There is no IF I am correct, how come one such behavior is OK and only wrong when it it's two?

 

Well did it give Bill Clinton the right or excuse?

 

Mindless god slaves applauding a deplorable for sexual assault. Sounds about right for that crowd.

 

Christianity has been given so many black eyes it can no longer even see what it has become, it's followers are afraid to look in the mirror at this point and it's champion leaders provide ample ammunition for its detractors. Muslims get to deal with terrorists and Christians get Perverts.

 

Ask a Trump supporter since Trump had bragged that he had the right and orvan open invitation to grab women because of his star status.


That is not my responsibility to answer since someone else brought up Clinton's actions in response to the perversion or sexual molestation of others. Ask the person who brought up Clinton.

 

Why not if they let him?

But you countered withthr two wrongs ddo t make a right thingy. Does one wrong? And why were Clinton's behaviors excused and defended and even so to this day?

 

I did not excuse Monika's Boyfriend nor did Inexcuse him.

Ok move on to the next unfounded accusation.
