Why Are We Failing Our Daughters?

0:02 Welcome, cousins and King folks, to your newest episode of your favorite podcast. Stand my currently under construction. I am your host, oldest. Thank you so much for joining us today. It is Wednesday, March twenty three, two thousand and twenty two. I want to thank everybody for joining us today. It's a beautiful day outside. Hope everybody's enjoying it, having a great day to day, enjoying your work day, and if you're off to day, just hoping you're doing something to enjoy, then do something for yourself to day. Cousins and King Folk, I got a problem. I gotta see his problem. I do I know some of Y'all want it right now and now. I know a lot of you know that the way I start this podcast. I'm normally calm, I'm normally cool, I'm normally upbeating everything, but truth be told, right now, cousin King Folk, I'm pissed off and I know some of you want to like, oh my goodness, what the heck's going on with Oh well, I'm pretty sure most of you have seen or have read hurt something about story that was posted on social media this week about sixty three year old later in a hurch hold the title of Bishop, marrying an eighteen year old girl. Now, let Y'all bear with

1:48 me because again, just even the thought of it just really just wants to send me over the edge. But who in the hell was okay with this? How can anybody be okay with this? Okay, so let me, let me, let me go back for a second here, because of again, yeah, just been with let me go back for a second. So the article is sixty three Ye old bishop of Christ Apostolic Temple has married his former student, alleged counseling client and Church member, eighteen and nineteen year old.

2:29 I'm not going to mention her name, but if you read story, you know I'm talking about since, in the beginning of two thousand and seventeen, re returned to take over as pastor of Christ Apostolic Pen or Temple and as dean of its school. The girl would have been anywhere from fifteen to sixteen years old at that time. Possibly, upon information, and believe is though his role as pastor, School Dean and counselor that he gained an in road. MM, excuse me, I'm sorry, you can't evert to her and begin grooming her to later be brought into his service and control. He was allegedly accused of similar unethical relationships with young girls from not I'm gonna stop right them and come back to that. I'M gonna come back to that, but again now. Who the hell is okay with this? Who It's okay with it? So, as I understand from furthermore, further reading, more, until the whole situation and self, it wasn't an article, but her father walked her down the aisle. You heard me, I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna say that again. Her father walked her down the aisle and gave her away. Now again I asked, who hell is okay with this?

4:00 How can you eat it, as a father, be okay with a sixty three year old man marrying your eighteen year old child? How you can you as a father, be okay with that? How how can you as a church community or congregation be Okay with that? There's nothing okay with that on any level at all. There's nothing okay with it. From the what I read in this article and what was information that was provided, it seems as though that he had his eye on her the moment he went back.

4:50 He went back to this church or whatever and whatever the capacity, in the roll that he was in, and started grooming this little girl. So if you grooming at to get up under your control, that means that you not only was talking to it and you getting in her head and everything like that, you know, telling her whatever he was telling her, but at the same time, and some of it, you had to be fooling with this child. You had to have been. And again I asked who the hell is okay with it? I'm a father, I have daughters, have four daughters that God bless me, with one of those daughters that age range right now. There is no way walking God's Green Earth that anybody could come talk to me and tell me at six or three years old he want to marry my seventeen, about to be eighteen year old daughter. Ain't no way that that's happening on no level on God's that it ain't happening. And if you hit it, and I'm sorry, I know y'all used to be being mom man of being up, be being happy, but again right now I'm pissed off. This whole situation pisses me up. I'm going to tell you what pisses me off even more about it. As I read, even read in the comments when I saw this on social media. You actually had people in the comments trying to make it make sense that they okay with it. I saw a comment from a woman, a black woman at that, that Hey, well, she's eighteen seas an adult. You know, I wish them

6:23 all the best in that marriage and which them are happy and long marriage. Are you serious, really, really, you okay with that? Wishing them on what? And she said further, said that she didn't see the problem. How can you not see the problem? You should have even bigger problem than I do right now. You are a woman, you should be if your mother. You should understand that more than anything and bit not be okay with somebody of that age rate. I'm going to ask out some cousins and King folks again. I know I'm kind of bouncing around, but again, this whole situation just have thrown me off and it's been on my mind. It's been stuck in my spirit since I read about it. I just couldn't let it go until I came and talk to Y'all about it. But I might ask Y'all question. So what the hell can I sixty three year old man and an eighteen year old girl. Heven. Come tell me what.

7:19 Don't worry, I'll wait. What could they possibly have in common? Not the same music. You can't sit there and talk by stuff that used to do. He that he can talk to about stuff that he used to do when he was a kid and they sit there and laugh. But because she had the same experience, because, guess what, he was a kid back in the fifties. How can you be okay with that? Can't be. I'm not. I'm down right again. I'm down right pissed off as a father. How can you be okay with this? But let me go further into what this article stated. said that he was allegedly accused of similar and ethical relationships with young girls in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he previously pastored and has been married and divorced three times, with Jordan being his fourth, although the marriage is legal, but the breach of ethics and breach a fordiary responsibility are not. So those of you who know street port is my second home, treatus my second home. I live most of, if not half of my life in shreeport. So evidently he has been doing this miss. This ain't just the first time. He even doing this miss off and own while he was in streport and I guess evidently something happened to where he was able

8:56 to circle responsibility or wherever, case me being a random out of street port. Now he's gone up north to Iowa and with the same thing. Come on now, people, if he's been accused of that, now I don't know what happened with if he's been accused of that and he's going to that lever and he was happening in streport, then this is an ongoing thing with him. So that means clearly of one thing and one thing only, this man. It's a pedophile. This man is a predatory pedophile. He specifically has been targeting young girls as an ongoing thing for years. That's sick.

9:43 That's sick and with makes me Piss me off. Even worse is that his church, of this church that he is the Bishop, had a passes it of. Whatever the case, maybe they're okay with that. They are okay with it. No, Ain't nothing about this is okay on no level. Where is the protection for these babies? Why is it anybody standing up for this child? Why? What as again as a father, as a father, you are your everything that showed daughter see, especially your first feel first of if they did she see, is reflection of you. Everything did she see? A father is a daughter's first love. So you mean to sitting tell me that you okay this? You basically failed your child. You fail this this Glot, this this baby. You failed her as a father, because there is no way, nobody. Again, I said it before them, say it again. There's no way. Nobody can sit and come and talk to me at that age rings telling me you want to marry my seventeen or eighteen year old daughter and you old enough to be my daddy. That ain't happening, partner, that ain't happening. It ain't. I'm no,

11:13 I'm not being grammatically correct right now, but guess what, it doesn't matter. It ain't happening on no level in any shape form of fashion, real talk, nobody stating enough for this baby. You failed this baby. You failed her and and and it just baffles me that the peak that a lot of people, to so many people, are justifying this and they are okay with this and you're just going along with this. I saw in a video not long ago it's on youtube that a young lady called that Church and she asked about the sitch a wation. I got answer the phone. He said hold on, hold on, let me transfer you. So another lady picked up the phone, don't know who she was or anything like this, and she asked her the same thing about the situation. Asks you know why?

12:15 Why doesn't her church have a problem with it? This lady hung up the phone. Hung up the phone. So if you hunger the phone, that meant you are okay with the situation. That means that you're condoned in that. No, and, as I also understand, for the mother wasn't there. So I'm assuming, and again I have no further information on I haven't been fine ever being able to find any further thing on. I'm assuming the mother wasn't okay with this and that's why she wasn't there. But the father walked down the aisle and gave her away. Really, really, really crazy.

13:09 No, Ain't happening, not on my watch. Why are we not protecting these babies? Where is their protection? Where is their protection? Where is it? Somebody should have been able to stand up and say something, to say this ain't right, this ain't happening. But the first person that should have done so, when it came to the light or anything, should have been her father. He should have been the first one the flash move out about it. He should have been the first one, but he didn't, and this congregation did in they're Rokay with it. So he married her as soon as he turned eighteen. But don't know how fallen she is.

14:05 But I accorded to article, also she's pregnant. So again, there's no way that I that it's common sense. There's no way that you can't sit and say that you had been you sit and had been grooming her all this time, that she hadn't fooled with this girl in the process. And it's sick. That's completely sick. This is not of God, on no level. But it's stuff like this that make people leave the churches. It's stuff like this that make people don't trust the demand of God. It's stuff like this to make people say, well, well, all pastors are liked it.

14:52 You know, I've even seen some people sitt and say that, well, it stuff like this been going on for a long time. You know, this ain't nothing new. Okay, well, when it's it going to stop? When is this? Somebody going to stand up and stop? When is somebody gonna stand up for these babies that's being groomed, US being abuseds being manipulated, there's being basically turned into slaves, because this child is not going to be treated as no equal to this man. She's not gonna be treated as equal in any shape form of fashion. It's gonna be treated as an object, not as an equal, as an object. Because when you marry somebody, and as a man, if you marry, your wife is your help me, your wife is your life, partny, your wife is your equal. True enough, God made man the head, but doesn't does mean that I'm that I'm your master or anything of that particular nature. I'm yours as a husband, your your wife's covering, you're her spiritual covering.

15:54 It's God, you, your wife and everybody else. But she won't be treated as that. She's gonna be treated as a slave. Because again, what kind of sixty three or man and an eighteen your girl have in come? Nothing, nothing at all. Nothing period. She may be of age of legal consent. I'm not quite sure the age of consent and in Iowa, but that's wild. Don't head. You fully consented because technically, really, that's let's be real about it. She's not twenty one. She can go into storm by now, alcohol, she can go to the casino.

16:45 She's not at all. She's not twenty one. Spend enough fing like I'm just be her grandfather, and, let this be real, about his three times her age, so not to be her great grandfather more likely. Come on, people, when the hell we going to stop this miss and hold these people accountable, these and that that use the church and use God of their positions to do stuff like this, to manipulate to their narcissistic tendencies, to take our daughters and turn them into slaves and ruin their lives. Let's be real about it. This baby's life is ruined. This baby's life is ruined because, again, she's not going to be no equal. She's not going to be an equal to this man on no level at all, and he's going to use his money, his Manipulus, what he's already and whatever he's already done the manipulate her and going to use the word to have his way. He is in a sick you supposed to be principal guidance counsel.

18:04 Whatever the case may be, to help these babies dot do better, to help them have a productive life, not in sit usual position to prey on them. It's crazy, the sick and I don't want hit people to my way. That's the world we live in. Oh, you don't have to be okay with it, because again, I'm not okay with this at all. Why aren't we protecting these babies? Why aren't we protecting our daughters? Our daughters deserve that protection, not to be left out here for predators like him to pray on. And then you just accept it as a father and be okay because, again, your father, you supposed to be the first person to have a problem with it. There's no way that should have gone down like that on no level, period, period shouldn't have. So there's a petition going around. I see on change out or if you all want to take a look at it, you know, you can just pull it up and everything and you can, you know, read it and if you sign, decide to sign it, that's okay, but I just again, I just had to get that out of my system because ever since I read it has just bothered me. It's just been in my spirit and just tubed on me because again, I'm a father, I have daughters. They no,

19:37 wait, ain't the way, y'all, ain't no way, it's not. I'm sorry, cousin Kevil, like I said, that that just had been in my mind, has been on my spirit, but I appreciate Y'all from letting me get that out and just bearing with me and joining me on that emotional roller coats because, again, it's just had my emotions just up and down ever since I read about it. We need to protect our babies, we need to protect our daughters. We need to protect our daughters. People, we need to protect our daughters, people like this. Protect your daughters, protect your daughters. So we in the first week of spring, you know. Well, it's been good. We had a few storms came through hit the other night, a few touch tornadoes touchdown. So I want to check on my cousin the King folks out there in Dallas Fort Worth area, some in Louisiana on it, in Mississippi and Alabama. There were all affected by this storm system that came through and just want to make sure that y're all okay. So just been praying that. You know, you weren't affective by too harshly, that you didn't experience to have any damage or anything to your property or your surroundings of whatnot, and that you're all okay.

21:11 That's that's that's I mean, it's a natural thing that comes to it, that happens. There's nothing we can do about that. But, you know, again, just praying that everybody is okay, that nobody, none of you cousins and kin folks, were affected by it in anyway, because I saw some of the damage it is done and man it was wow. So I can say. But like going on and everything like going on in the world right now, Western world, Russia, even though they're saying that's not a roy it's still going on. And I just this one more thing.

21:52 I want to touch on your soul. We just sent this, the president just signed it, this big, this picts stimulus package to send over to Ukraine and x about a billions of dollars for aid. But what about the people that need a right here in the US? Make it makes sense. Somebody, please, somebody helped me. I mean, I know politics is not my thing. I'm not really big on it. This why I don't talk about it a lot. That's why I don't touch base based on it in any shafe form fashion because that's not my thing. But somebody helped. It makes sense to me. please. How? Why? You know, she had people right here in this country that need a that need help, set for homeless people that need help. While we taking care of people at home, we taking some care of somebody way in a whole another country.

22:44 I'm just nothing wrong with, you know, being a human it's in a humanitarian aid or anything like that. I'm not against it. I'm I promise you, I'm not. Is some understand it. Why are you not taking care of people right he at home first? Get somebody to me. Why, please. I don't know. I don't know. I just I just thought I throw that out there, you know, trying to lighten the mood up a little bit. But I don't get it. I don't understand it. But Hey, that's above my pay grade. I that's way above my pay grade right now, so I'm not going to speaking it further on that.

23:26 But that's my time today.
