EXCLUSIVELY ON ANTIGUA NEWS: Young Woman Beaten by Assistant Pastor

You can now listen to Antigua News articles!

Young woman cries blood after beating from religous leader

YOU FIRST READ IT HERE

A young woman in her early twenties has filed a complaint with the local police station in Antigua and Barbuda after being subjected to a severe beating by the assistant pastor of an evangelical church here.

The assault was so brutal that it resulted in the woman being placed on a two-month medical leave. Her eye had to be stitched.

The name of the church involved has been kept confidential and specific details about the incident were intentionally omitted by our newsroom.

“I cried blood. Literally,” she tells Antigua.news.

The victim reported that she was repeatedly struck in the face following an altercation with the assistant pastor, who is known to have a history of violent behavior.

She expressed a hope that he would never be allowed to preach from the pulpit again.

The authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the matter.

The woman suffered visible bruises as a result of the assault, and she is seeking justice for the harm she endured.

    This is what defaces the name “religion”. When someone who stands up on the pulpit and not only once or twice, speak about violence but then you can hear them doing what they preach about!! And again maybe not only once or twice but it’s to an extent where the victim has no choice but speaking out!

        Regardless of what she did, there is no reason to beat this woman and to beat her this bad. You’re the one possessed because what the hell is so messed up in your life that made you want to justify this bullshit? Whoever woman hurt you, go to the Lord in prayer and don’t dare put your hand on her.

        Sorry but you are no better than him. He is the demon and you the demon acolyte. Evil.

    These acts need to be addressed asap and the name of the church needs to be exposed so the public can know who these fake Christians are because harming someone this way would never come from someone who takes God serious

      The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy and Pastors as leaders are attacked. That’s why they need to be prayed up and fortified to fight back. Nobody knows what his background was before Christ cleaned him up, and we don’t know what prompted this vicious attack.
      What we do know, is that a stint in jail is the solution here, because no one is above the law, and whilst he can repent of his actions, and God will forgive him if he is sincere,, he must face the consequences of the crime as his victim deserves justice.

        Name and shame the perpetrator this way he,and others like him, will thibk twice before doing anything like this again. I hope the young lady gets all the help she needs,including counseling, to heal from this trauma.

      You seems be bias here.

      He will preach and tell you avoid violence! You’ll get in a fight n beat someone like this and all he would say is “you should’ve walked away and turn to God” cause isn’t that what they all do?? Why couldn’t he have done the same?? Much less towards a woman?? Oh wow!

    THE BIBLE SAY CRY ALOUD AND SHOW THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL THEIR SIN … IF WE KEEP COVERING THE SIN HOW CAN WE EVER BE BETTER FOR THE KINGDOM….

    “1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. ”

    Y’all don’t see that this is a attention grabbing scheme?
    First of all, the young lady wrote this articule herself, she works for The Daily Observer and the owner of this newsroom WORKED for The Daily Observer.
    This article is missing everything except the fact that she never thought her actions through.
    Questions to this newsroom:
    1: Why was she “assaulted?”
    2. Have the police really been involved?
    3. Have you as journalists, try to investigate yourself to see if there is any truth to this story?
    To the follower aka “Social Media Law Enforcement Agent”:
    1. What if you found out a different side to the story?
    2. What if this was nothing near the truth?

    It is sick how we out here passing judgement on matters that we don’t even know is true.
    Waiting for Antigua News to publish the real story, if there is any.

      Huh? So the lady that was beaten is a journalist who wrote the story about herself. And antigua.news is owned by a former observer worker? Scratching my bald head…but isn’t this online newspaper owned by philanthropist and ambassador multi millionaire Dr Dario Item? So he sold it to a former worker of observer? Last time I checked the website is owned by him. Hey now this is juicy. Get your facts and tell us what you know. I was believing everything you said until you got it wrong with the ownership story. Anyway however the story go somebody was beaten. Eyes black. And pastor name calling.

      @inquiring minds…. the same girl with the black eye like talk so let her tell the whole story. She likes to give out info so I don’t know why this story is so piece up.
      @JahJah, Her full face has been circulating on whatsapp so everybody will soon have it.
      Realize that the Daily Observer didn’t carry this story, she teamed up with her friend and I assumed this was her friends platforms since it said the story was delivered here FIRST, if this is not her friends platforms it’s the other one. So forgive me if I ever mislead anyone to believing so. Because she talk about her friend who operates another Newsroom.
      She is misleading the whole digital world into believing she was assaulted for nothing.
      Interview her properly and tell her to tell the whole story then, find the pastor cuz she knows who he is and interview the pastor and then, you make a proper story to give to the public.
      Do it before Daily Observer does it the right way and get RIGHT story FIRST.

    @realist well antigua.news will have to find the pastor and do the story. This would be the bombshell of the century. Antigua.news broke the Anthony Smith and nobody believed they were correct. So I assume their sources are credible. There is no smoke without a fire. When antigua.news tell you something there is a little truth to it. This is according to their history. So Indeed we waiting to find out. Antigua.news do you’re homework. Who is the liar? The beaten up red neck or the pastor?
