Speaking in one of his usual TikTok episodes, @judgementupdate shared his disappointment with the Assemblies of God leadership.

He admitted to having impregnated a lady he was dating at the time, but was not married to. Following the pregnancy, he planned to marry her after the child was born.

He explained how he came clean to the church about the pregnancy. The church, upon learning of the pregnancy and plans for marriage, put the couple through marriage counselling.

"They took me through marriage counselling. They took my wife through counselling. They even took the parents from both sides," he said.

He complained that the church did not inform him that they would not attend the ceremony.

Weeks before the wedding, he noticed the church was not announcing the event.

A week before, he approached a key church leader, who disclosed that the church could not attend because of the couple’s unchaste life.

According to him, that decision left him deeply disappointed as the church did not communicate its stance.

He stressed he would have been less hurt if they had told him he was not worthy of their presence.

"Several youth are leaving the church because of such practices. Do you mean churches that bless marriages of already parenting couples don’t come from God? Change some of these old doctrines, and the youth are leaving the church."
