This is a rather heartbreaking story about judgment and adult intimidation in church. A 19-year-old choir member was accosted in the ladies washroom at church by an older female member of the church and told not to show up in shorts again, as she was a "bigger girl". The girl, rightly, lost it on the woman. And, thankfully, she recorded the whole thing, while the older woman seemed unable to process how inappropriate she was being, nor able to predict the fallout from any such video posted online. It went only a tad viral, but viral enough.
The woman, Bonnie Sue Bihary, has "voluntarily" stepped down from all church leadership positions and offered an apology to the young woman, who has accepted. But the episode has brought out some comments online where it is posted about this type of behaviour being a common catalyst for leaving the church.
