[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How exactly would this embarrass or punish them?  The current church members either were mostly not even born when your mother was a member of the church.  
If they have any emotion at all, it will be sadness that you're not a Christian, but happiness that your mother didn't choose abortion.  Bonus points if your mother went on to live a stable life.

You have so much anger about the past.  Please seek therapy.

Why on Earth would you assume I am not a Christian?

It would embarrass them because they Like to pretend no one in their little kingdom is having premarital sex.

They are all lying hypocrites.

THEY will think you're not a Christian, not me.  Sorry if that was poorly worded.  And they will think that because you're demonstrating such rage at their church and beliefs.

They will not be embarrassed that one of their church members--who wasn't attending their church at the time--got pregnant 50 years ago.  Again, if they have any feeling at all about what will be ancient history to them, it's maybe a vague feeling that she was led astray by a godless man when she left the protection of her father's home.   Trust me, it's 2022 and although they preach abstinence, a Baptist congregation isn't going to be shocked to realize that some people in their current congregation are having premarital sex.  Premarital sex is pretty far down the list of current moral issues for most current Southern Baptist churches.  Now, a pregnant teen likely would be given a baby shower by church members to help persuade her to keep the baby.  She would be treated in a condescending but not  hostile manner.

I hope that this stays just a fantasy--a place to channel your anger from not having the family you wanted.
