Tit. 1:15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

Any male who is disturbed by a woman breastfeeding her child in the church needs sanctification.
Lol,my broda dats a wrong application of dat bible quote esp in these times.do u read d papers?? Haven't we heard enuf cases of rape n whatnots even perpetrated by men who av been called to serve God?...ok ffg ur lead would u allow ur teenage daughter/sister/friend(wcheva) sleep unclad say in ur sitting room wen uve got pastors visiting cos in ur mind u feel 'all things are pure to those who are pure' n therefore dey shuld merely see her as a sleeping child I think we all knw times av changed greatly!

Thank you jare,
I can bet the speakers are loud enough for her to hear from outside.
Some women just want to always prove a point with their stubbornness.
My pastor frowns at baby crying in the congregation.
Why? Because you won't hear and you won't allow others to hear the preaching (the primary purpose of coming is to worship not breastfeed).
Hiaaan! Some women sef cheesy

I was in church and the lady sitting next to me asked me if I can open my car for her to breastfeed her baby... That's how you know women who respect their body... You shouldn't carelessly open your breast everywhere because you're feeding a baby

From what I've in the first and second page, I will have to say that many women do not know how to air their views without being rude.

Goes to show how their brains work.

Conclusion:

A nursing mother is free to brea.st feed her baby inside a church, board meeting and mosques....Cossy Orjiakor is not included in the above.

I called you a pervert because you were in church, yet you still had the time to notice the "well ovalized breasts" instead of seeing a cute hungry baby that needs to be fed. Sometimes what we see in a situation differs from what another person sees and it's an outcome of the contents of our minds.
You said you corrected the young mother but you don't know if she took your advice. Well, my advice to you is to purify your heart and thoughts. It will help you to appreciate the little joys of life.

You just wanted to crucify this guy simply because he has a degree in descriptionology cheesy cheesy cheesy

mutter:
Abeg remove you eye and concentrate on your mass.

Why should she go outside to breastfeed. Do you know that breast feeding can go on for ages and you want the woman to miss the service because she is feeding the child God gave her.

No better place to breast feed a child than in God`s presence.
God smiles and is gladdened to see her do so.

It is God`s house and not yours!

The important thing is that it is pleasing in his eye.
He is probably more disturbed about people entering his house in tolerant and unclean.

Next time you see such a thing smile at the lady and appreciate her service to mankind and then mind your biz.
Funny you cheesy cheesy

You won't know how far her home is, dear. It could be 10bus stops away. A hungry or irritated baby should be fed, no delay.

The wisdom of our seniors -in my church (in my village), there are sections for men, women, and the choir.

See the prob of modernity.

Op and others plus church ushers, pls know the different genders and age groups have different needs. Even squeezing yourself in the midst of girls (as a boy) or pack of boys(if you are a girl have potential to distract.
She should just go outside then. Doing it in church is very wrong.

Behind the pew I sat this morning during morning mass, some noise filtered into my ears. Taking a look backwards, I saw a young nursing mother with a big "well-ovallized" bosom breastfeeding her baby.

I must admit, I lost concentration on the mass proceedings for a few minutes.

After a while, I turned back again and told her that it isn't proper for her to breastfeed her baby inside the church.

Her response was, "my baby is hungry, why won't I feed him?"

And my rejoinder was, "you ought to have done that outside the church building"

Whether she took the correction in good faith or not I wouldn't know because I never looked back again.

In your candid opinion, who was right, myself or the lady?

You lost concentration! Very funny, it seems to me you were also interested in the breastmilk. U should have told her your mind instead of pretending to be a saint.

On the 1st bold, I didn't stare at the booobs deliberately, I only turned towards the noise I heard as the Op clearly stated.

On the 2nd bold, because she is bound to disturb and distract the people around her and that will not be proper.

On the 3rd bold, where did you learn that from? Bible, Koran??

On the 4th bold, I should not be my sister's keeper again?

Firstly, It's not about balls but common sense.

You can't compare a man chastising a woman / a man chastising a man, to a woman chastising a man. Do you know what's happened to the few women who tried to tell your fellow men off for being so anti-social?

Secondly kindly explain how you owe society and God that? Who / what is society?

How and what do you owe God with regards to a woman doing what God naturally endowed her with, for her baby? You went to church to hear the word of God, and not to oogle at the poor mother feeding her child. Rather than concentrate on your primary purpose for being there in the first place, you spent a fraction of your time lusting after the shape of her b.reas.ts and hating on her for feeding her baby.

If you were so uncomfortable, why didn't you do the decent thing by changing seats or better still, going to sit outside, away from "temptation"?

Women have been br.eas.tfee.ding their young since time immemorial and that isn't about to change because some man finds it difficult to keep his JT in check.
Take a chill pill, stop being unnecessarily antagonistic. The guy did something and asked if he was right or wrong. Give your reasons for being wrong and leave it at that, what's the need for name calling? Because men whip out their junk in public to take a piss which is wrong BTW doesn't make it right for a woman to whip out her boobs in public too. The woman prolly had a scarf or shawl that she could have used which is not a bad idea

C'mon give him a break, he didn't say he was uncomfortable he was distracted by noise he looked back and his eyes met the boobs (dat makes him human) he then gave it a thought and looked a second time to correct the woman. I don't think there is anythin wrong in that. If u are seated and den u saw a very sane man coming to ur direction na.ked(maybe someone u know) u will look @ him a second and even third time and will definetly look @ his JT. Its involuntary. That's wot makes us human

There's nothing wrong with it. Most churches try to make provisions for children church or nursery even where there's none, nursing mothers are encouraged to sit in places where they can attend to their babies without making anyone feel uncomfortable.

God bless our mothers for breastfeeding us without shame anyday, anytime and anywhere

There is a way that some people I've seen outside the Church cover it that you won't be able to see anything, even at vantage point. You can't expose it and at the same time be insulted by someone staring at it, they are mutually exclusive. If you don't know how to cover it well, seek for advice from those that have been in the business earlier. I hate people asking for 'special provision'.

I couldn't believe she called me a pervert after reading the Op.

Was I ever rude to her?

Maybe because you deliberately turned back twisting your neck to see a mother feeding her child and you actually got carried away and continued looking while claiming to be exchanging words with the woman. You could simply have passed a note to her in the service without distracting others and even drawing the attention of others ( with your verbal exchange) who didnt even know anything was going on.

However, she also should have had her shawl or apron specifically made for breastfeeeding with her at any time t, to cover herself whenever she neeeeds to breastfeed.

Again sir, you can buy a shawl for her and give it to her in the next service. thats actually being your neighbors keeper. grin grin grin

My wife is usually in possession of the car key in church and i make sure we park close to the church premises. So, whenever the baby needs 'suckie- suckie', my wife would quietly go into the car and feed her.

Most organized churches like Daystar where I attend,we have a section specifically for nursing mothers. I don't blame the woman much,the church should reorganise the sitting positions.

Was at a store to buy something sometime back and there was this lady, who happens to be the only one attending at that moment, breastfeeding her kid. Allowed my eyes to settle on that good-looking boob for a millisecond and then shyly took them away and looked elsewhere till she was done with the task. All in all, it was only a boob!
Re: Curious!! Breastfeeding Inside The Church, Right Or Wrong? by AmaechiLinus(m): 8:09am On Feb 08, 2015
Biblically it is not wrong to breastfeed a baby during mass/ service. But i think should be done in an orderly manner, meanwhile is advisable for a nursing mother to sit at d bck.

I also hate the sight of a breast right in everybody's face,it is distracting to onlookers and very crude
There is a discreet way to do these things,this is 2015

When people who were trained well come on board, you need no prophet to point at them.
