Well I will leave you to His judgment. As long as you feel good about yourself keep on bashing Bristol. I mean, maybe if you criticize her long enough you can un-ring her bell, so to speak.
The POINT of righteous criticism is to help someone change. It is not to punish them. That is not our job. She already admits her wrong. Continuing to criticize is just cruel and probably also hypocritical.
But by all means, go ahead and bash her. And I will in turn bash you and you will in turn bash me. Ask yourself, which of these three (Bristol, you, me) have redemption in mind? Isn’t that what God’s ultimate goal in all things He does?
You don't get to do that. You can't 'leave me to His judgment'. You have no say in the matter.

Bullshit. This is her statement:
wanted you guys to be the first to know that I am pregnant. ... I know this has been, and will be, a huge disappointment to my family, to my close friends, and to many of you. But please respect Tripps and my privacy during this time. I do not want any lectures and I do not want any sympathy. My little family always has, and always will come first. Tripp, this new baby, and I will all be fine, because God is merciful.She does NOT acknowledge that she is wrong. She, instead, tells us she wants no lectures, and that she wants privacy. The closest she comes to even mentioning this MIGHT be wrong is when she says it will be a disappointment to some people.
She's unrepentant.
So we shall rightously criticize her until she *does* want to change.
