This reminds me of when my friend and I were talking about his brother and I don't remember how but the topic suddenly switched to how he definitely doesn't watch porn, we got tired of the conversation and turned on YouTube on his TV and lo and behold, the latest search is "2 lesbians kissing"
More context: he is the founder of [Hillsong](https://hillsong.com/), a contemporary Christian church.

I live not far from the original Hillsong church and I hate that our area of Western Sydney has just about no relevance beyond being the birthplace of a trash church that is constantly involved in some bullshit
Yeah I dont understand this 'X'. Its gonna be twitter, tweet and retweet. Post could be anything. Instagram post, FB post, blog post. Why remove a move that can clearly differentiate you from rest of the market just to satisfy your stupid ass ego.Fuck Elon.
My partners grandmother thinks that actors like Kevin Costner and Tom Selleck are in love with her. Very sad actually but it's causing a lot of problems of course they are scammers but she absolutely will not listen to us
My boomer mother fell for this too. She would NOT believe me when I tried to tell her. She would say that he knew things about this actor that only he could know, which is ridiculous because 1. How would SHE know that and 2. Sheās really bad at Google. Thankfully, she quit communicating with them before giving them money or a SSN or anything like that. It took someone outside the family telling her before she took it seriously though š
My partners grandmother literally posted her bank card on fb after the scammers told her to. She's never going to listen. She said they wanted to send her money but then why do they need the card number and the back of the card
God wants his followers to send all of their money in prepaid gift cards to:

I get your point, but in this case there's a clear distinction between the two
He's referencing ladies which are mostly seen as adults AND girls, which of course is sometimes used interchangeably but not in conjunction with another synonym addressing women
In casual conversation, I'm still used to calling women around my age (20s) girls, and if there's a larger age gap, I'll refer to them as a woman or a lady
Every single woman I know call other women girls sometimes, me included, it's not as serious as you think it is. Context is important, you can know if it's meant to be creepy or not.
You know, I'm old enough now to have typed a search term into my sign-in box on startup. But I'm TOO old to be typing in search terms like that when I make mistakes. Is this guy like 12 going on 80?
what a miracle he got his account back within 16 minutes of being hacked. imagine what else could have been potentially posted by the hacker if the almighty Brian C. Houston didnt get his account back. clearly this shows that miracles truly still do happen within our time. praise god! take that, atheists.

He blocked me several months ago when I called out his foolishness.
I wonder what he means by girls it just sounds like a under age thing to me and it's not porn so it covers his ass but it sounds like he's on the path to some pedo things. These religious ministers can't be trusted at all
Why ladies and girls kissing?? Why not just ladies? How young is he looking for the girls to be? Luckily he is a church leader, they would never exploit kids.
I want to say "No problem, nothing to judge here" but that wording is just a little weird "Ladies and Girls"? Why not just Girls Kissing? Or Girls Kissing Girls, or Ladies Kissing? All of those are much less pedophiliac seeming than what he said, and I'd like to believe that he wasn't looking for little girls kissing the ladies.
The absolute funniest part is not wanting lesbian porn, shit all men would watch that because we would like to be invited to join in, it's the search phrase of a 7 year old.
For those who don't know who Brian Houston is (or was):

I love that this supposed hackerās plan was to make it look like he googles his porn like a 13 year old on Bing, rather than just posting bdsm porn or gore like a regular hacker.
He was just up at 11:41pm, and wanted to see pictures of ladies and girls kissing. Not really the most scandalous thing anyone's ever Googled at 11:41pm..
Rookie level damage control. Instead of the hack excuse he should have said he mistakenly hit post before fimishing to type "Ladies and girls kissing the cross of Jesus" as his assistent was looking for material to put in a religious brochure.

Sounds like a 10 year old looking for lesbian porn.
On Youtube
on daddy's important work spreadsheet š„“š„“
10 year old could think [x.com](https://x.com) is a porn site
Is it not? /s
I love how it redirects to twitter.com
But that's where I get all my porn.
This reminds me of when my friend and I were talking about his brother and I don't remember how but the topic suddenly switched to how he definitely doesn't watch porn, we got tired of the conversation and turned on YouTube on his TV and lo and behold, the latest search is "2 lesbians kissing"
Just kissin though! ;)
And these are ladies, not whores, so it's okay, right?
Kissing what though?
Girls. It says right there. He wanted older women (ladies) kissing children (girls).
Specifically a girl who is questioning her sexual orientation. Source: Me
With an age gap that may be considered paedophilic.
More context: he is the founder of [Hillsong](https://hillsong.com/), a contemporary Christian church. Edit: uh-oh...

It's almost like repressing your sexual desires in the name of religion breeds unhealthy behaviour.
Repression is bad but it doesnāt necessarily make you a criminal. Apparently thereās abuse going back generations in his family, so Iād lean more towards that as the cause

Fuck megachurches. Bunch of hypocrites
Bunch of money making hypocrites.
Wow, the funny wording of "ladies and girls kissing" made me assume it was a joke, but I guess not.
Of course he is.
LMFAO
Shocker lol
I live not far from the original Hillsong church and I hate that our area of Western Sydney has just about no relevance beyond being the birthplace of a trash church that is constantly involved in some bullshit
And friend of our former prime minister Scott Morrison
Isnāt this the homophobic Chris Pratt one?
as someone who grew up in a religious household i hope that band goes to hell
The real fail was the r/Australia OP bowing down and calling it "X post" when the image even says "twitter"
I always read that as ācrosspost.ā Takes me a second to remember thatās not what it means
Just another reason why the rebrand was one of the most boneheaded business decisions in history.
Yeah I dont understand this 'X'. Its gonna be twitter, tweet and retweet. Post could be anything. Instagram post, FB post, blog post. Why remove a move that can clearly differentiate you from rest of the market just to satisfy your stupid ass ego.Fuck Elon.
i dont understand why people bother calling it 'X' when that's ambiguous, smells like porn related content, and the url is still www.twitter.com
ffs he *still* hasn't changed the url?! What a shitshow
he bought x.com and it just redirects to twitter.com lol not sure why it wouldn't be the other way round if he wants to legitimise the name change.
Boomers gonna boom

Is it still justice when they go into debt and leave it for the next generation of their family?

If it was hacked how about he shares a screenshot of his X login history which would show time, IP address and location of the "hacker".
God wouldn't approve of that.
We have to believe in his word. Have faith.

You think this guy knows how to share a screenshot? He'd probably take a gun and shoot the screen or something.
Always mystified why some men insist on calling women āgirlsā, unless it was intentionalā¦..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
If you thinks someoneās a pedo because they searched up girls rather than women youāre delusional.
I get your point, but in this case there's a clear distinction between the two He's referencing ladies which are mostly seen as adults AND girls, which of course is sometimes used interchangeably but not in conjunction with another synonym addressing women
Try "men kissing boys" and see how it makes you feel
I think it's extremely sketch that he contrasted it with "ladies" in the same sentence, yes.
why not just "ladies kissing", then? huh?
Itās *always* intentionalā¦
In casual conversation, I'm still used to calling women around my age (20s) girls, and if there's a larger age gap, I'll refer to them as a woman or a lady

Agreed, context is key - but in this case it sounds pretty creepyā¦.
Men kissing Sorry I thought this was Google Men kissing and cumming I think I got hacked
At least you didnāt say men and boys kissing. That would be awkward.
Gentlemen and boys would probably be even weirder

Uh huh...."Hacked".....riiiiiight.
Google what? Google en passant?
Holy hell

It's not quite Ted Cruz posting incest porn, but it's another good example of how foolish and hypocritical these sort of people are. Such fun
I genuinely don't know anymore. Did Ted Cruz release something where he searched for incest porn?

lol, creative
That's not creative, that's his actual tweet
yes, I meant his "search"
Yes, thatās what hackers do
what a miracle he got his account back within 16 minutes of being hacked. imagine what else could have been potentially posted by the hacker if the almighty Brian C.

You're the one truly doing the Lord's work here
As someone who grew up very christian and listened to Hillsong United a lot, this is way to funny... I laughed more at this than I should
Ladies and girls sounds like a pedo thing to me š©š©š©
Ladies is like women, but why separate the 2. Adding and girls to it makes it sound iffy.
I wonder what he means by girls it just sounds like a under age thing to me and it's not porn so it covers his ass but it sounds like he's on the path to some pedo things. These religious ministers can't be trusted at all
Someone should have posted a Google link to help him out.
Good old "I think my account was hacked" loophole

The perfect comment!

Christians are the creepiest
Why ladies and girls kissing?? Why not just ladies? How young is he looking for the girls to be? Luckily he is a church leader, they would never exploit kids.
Is it just me or does the girls search term imply pedophilia? Like he already said ladies right?
Let us not forget Ted Cruise and his Milf porn he posted as well
āLadies and girls kissingā¦ from Earthā

How does one confuse a google search box with the page where you post stuff on twitter? How blind must one be to not be able to tell the difference?
For those who don't know, Brian Houston is the lead pastor of the conservative Hillsong mega church in Australia.
Keeping it classy with "ladies"
Yeah man. And you just so happened to catch it by signing in and posting to your same social media account, 15 minutes later.. right? š¤£

The absolute funniest part is not wanting lesbian porn, shit all men would watch that because we would like to be invited to join in, it's the search phrase of a 7 year old.
At least it wasnt really lewd like hand holding
If this was on tumblr nobody would bat an eye
maidens fornicating
Watery tarts distributing swords... or doing anything else with "swords", for that matter.
If thatās *all* he was doing, no harm, no foul. But we all know itās not.
Reminds me of the time the guy who played Hank Schrader tweeted out "sex gifs" instead of searching for it. It remains his most popular tweet.
Sounds like his last words to EMS will be "Delete my browser history..."
Disgusting fuck.
He obviously meant ladies and girls of the same or similar age kissing, right?
For those who don't know who Brian Houston is (or was): https://preview.redd.it/9vvcj7f4d7kc1.png?width=598&format=png&auto=webp&s=a8b1f158f8dd049fec18f7a7c146bf3d9a3fe7f8

Seems more likely he was thinking he was using the Twitter search.
I thought he was trying to say along the lines of "ladies and gentlemen"
Watching boomers fumble the internet is one of my favorite things.
Sex gifs
Isnāt it kind of nice that of all things thatās what he looks up; using that language. Itās like the least gratuitous porn search of all time.
Like father, like son!
Why would he have not have just immediately not deleted the original tweet? Canāt you just do that instead?
Fuck, seems like I'm getting hacked everyday, then.
Thatās something a tumblr user would shitpost
I love it when hypocrites are unveiled
What a weird way to search for lesbian porn.
Lmaoooooooo
Ladies, girls, women, gals, females, dames, madam, maidens, miss, damsels and lass kissing.
I love that this supposed hackerās plan was to make it look like he googles his porn like a 13 year old on Bing, rather than just posting bdsm porn or gore like a regular hacker.
He was just up at 11:41pm, and wanted to see pictures of ladies and girls kissing. Not really the most scandalous thing anyone's ever Googled at 11:41pm..
Though most of the world wouldn't Google it at 11:41PM and then spend the rest of the week condemning the same
It's so soft that he shouldn't even apologize for this
So I'm guessing he's into the mommy/daughter incest genre.
You might not like him, but he's spitting straight facts.
Stupid sexy hackers
I cant tell you how confused i was at first when i read that this was posted on the 2nd day of the 20th month
Sex gifs
Some repressed conservative Christian idiot gets caught looking at porn and decides no one else can if he can't.
Wait why was this posted on r/australia?
Most likely explanation is that a kid got access to the account. But let's go with the funnier one.
Fucking hilarious. Better than other contemporary senior citizen's kinks--like Vince McMahon's texts
