ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI - At least one outspoken local photographer and visual artist has admitted that she would be pleased to ‘enjoy’ life in the Virgin Islands, in a same-sex union.

Kishma V.S. Penn, who appeared as a guest on December 2, 2020, of the ‘Real Talk’ show with Karia J. Christopher was at the time responding to whether she felt that it was “time” for same-sex marriage in the BVI.

While admitting that it would drive the tourism industry up, she said, “In my opinion, it would be lovely if I could enjoy that type of life here, but I don’t think the BVIslanders for the most part, ready for it.”

Life has not been easy - Penn

Penn also said that there are many gay persons in the territory, “There are a lot of us, even if you don’t see people like me,” she stated.

She said, however, living as an openly gay individual in the territory has not been easy.

 “I get my flank from certain people, I get the bible thrown at me from certain people, I am called a sodomite by certain people.”

“I just get the looks from certain people, and I have been surprised by certain people, because a much older lady who’s almost like a Godmother, said to me one day... I know who you is, I don’t want you to pretend when you come around me, and I love you exactly as you are.”

She said she was forced to ‘dumb down’ herself before she went to college abroad.

'I ain’t going back in that box' - Penn on return to VI 

“When I was at college, I was like oh freedom! I can be whomever I want to be and then when I came back home I was like I ain’t going back in that box.”

She was adamant about living life as is, on her return to the VI, “I don’t care who don’t like it; I am not going back in that box to make other people feel comfortable, and I have pretty much been this way since then,” she said.

Penn, who is also the mother of a young boy said, her son had questions about her lifestyle, and since then they had a discussion about the issue, and he has since been more accepting of it. 

“He is very comfortable with who I am, and he is not bothered the least with anything anybody says to him,” she said.

      Does Almighty God Jehovah approve of adulterous marriages? If he does, why does he not approve of homosexual marriages? Is he a liar when he says he is not partial? Is he a liar when he says death for all sexually immoral persons - adulterers, homosexuals, etc.?

          It is good that you mentioned sin on a whole since some like to pick and choose what they think don’t apply to them.

          Mark 7:13 thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”

          1 Samuel 15:23 “For rebellion is as the sin of divination, And insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.”

          Jeremiah 8:9 “The wise men are put to shame, They are dismayed and caught; Behold, they have rejected the word of the Lord, And what kind of wisdom do they have?

          It is a shame the number of people who claim to be Christians, who in church every week, that have been encouraging this blasphemy.

          Love the sinner hate the sin and do not promote the sin to side with the sinner instead of God.

          When Judgment Day comes the sinner won’t be there to defend us when we have to answer for ourselves.

        Please study your Bible. Adultery is no longer punishable by death. Fornication is sexual immorality as well and true repentance brings God’s forgiveness.

        When a woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus, the religious leaders of the day wanted Him to uphold their law that called for capital punishment by stoning her. Jesus dismissed them by asking for the person with no sin to cast the first stone. Of course, no one could because they understood that they were all sinners. Jesus, the only one there without sin, told the woman to leave and stop sinning (John 8:1–11).

        The Jewish leaders were referencing the Old Testament law provided to the nation of Israel that called for the death penalty for adultery (Leviticus 20:10) among other crimes. The law called for the death penalty for both the woman and the man convicted of adultery. There was no separate set of laws for women or men. The law was established to show God's people right and wrong, to define the requirement for righteousness, and to differentiate the Israelites from their neighbors. It should be noted that this law was meant specifically for Israel during that time period. Jesus brought a new covenant into effect. Christians do not live under a theocracy and are not called to injure those who sin.

        Though adultery is no longer punishable by death, it is identified as sin in the Bible and all sin leads to spiritual death (Romans 6:23). One of Jesus' central messages of the New Testament is the concept of grace from God and between men (John 1:14 and 3:17). Adultery is forgivable in Jesus. God can also make reconciliation possible.

        The Bible makes it clear that adultery carries with it serious, terrible consequences. First Corinthians 6:18–20 tells us that sexual sin offends God and should be avoided: "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."

        Our character is significantly damaged by adultery, as Proverbs tells us. The adulterer is simple and senseless (Proverbs 7:7), compared to an animal caught in a snare and then slaughtered (Proverbs 7:22–23), and has no sense, destroying himself (Proverbs 6:32). The writer of Proverbs says the adulterer is led to death (Proverbs 7:26–27).

        The Proverbs also tell us that the consequences of adultery carry with them a punishment in and of itself, including the loss of honor and strength (Proverbs 5:9–11), a ruined reputation (Proverbs 5:14), bondage and death (Proverbs 5:22–23), self-destruction (Proverbs 6:32), and the vengeance of a jealous husband (Proverbs 6:34).

        Proverbs 6 includes a whole section warning us against adultery, including this caution: "Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished" (Proverbs 6:27–29).

        In the Old Testament, adultery was punishable by death. Today, that punishment does not apply, though adultery still carries with it significant consequences. Despite these consequences, grace can be found in Jesus. He came "full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). John 3:17 tells us, "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Earthly consequences of adultery may remain, but the eternal punishment is taken away in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

      Why do you people like to use the word judging when we all know a sin when we see it even when we sin.

      In other words, pointing out what God says is sin is not judging.

      The man who loves creation more than the Creator is an idolater (1 John 2:15–17); and the man who loves to drink from his own broken cisterns invites the wrath of God. “My people have committed two sins:
      They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” (Jeremiah 2:13).

      Against a culture that says, “If you love me, you will accept me and never question me,” the Bible says “This is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). In the Bible, love does not gloss over sin.

      Admonish One Another

      ‘Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God” (Colossians 3:16)

God loves all of us regardless of our orientation but this sin is wrong kishma but when it comes to your soul this is between you and God... it’s behaviors such as this that bring sin against the land ..we all know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and also Lot- when those homosexuals were trying to break down lot’s door not knowing they were 2 angels when they blinded the men eyes - young and old .. God made a woman for Adam not a man but again coming from a Christian Society you already know all this.. you’re a sweet person Kish I just pray you come into the truth and seek God while He can be found for your soul’s sake..

      Young lady, without any disrespect I believe there's a good man out there for you, but first you have to embrace your femininity. Some females have to struggle do hard in life to feel wanted and accepted. Sometimes being abused as a female make you feel that if you were a man things would have been easier. I understand the struggle...been there. But never once wished for a same-sex relationship or marrage because I know that's not the natural order of things.
      Go through yout phase...live out your famtasy of pretending to be a man. But at the end of the day your femininity will click in because that's how God created you. You areba woman. A beautiful woman with a gentle soul. Don't let the world spoil you. Teach your son to respect women. Be the model of a good woman to him so that when time comes for him to find a wife he knows what to look for. Please don't train him up to be a homosexual.
      I recommend this book entitled " Hope for the Same-Sex attracted", subtitled "Biblical Directions for friends, family members, and those struggling with homosexuality."
      Quote from the book: "Marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman that God blesses. When two people with eyes wide open commit to one another for life, it creates a space in which they can fully disclose their whole selves."
      Whatever has led you to this point, only God knows. But you are definitely not an isolated case. There are many young men and women becoming gender confused everyday because of the breakdown of morality. Some are looking at the rich and famous, trying to be like them Transgender operation is like a fashion statement. But the Good Book says the body is a temple of the Lord God. He made it. All who not satisfy with how God made them need to take up the issue with God. Talk with Him about what you feeling. Read the Bible. Pray. There is hope. Don't give up on yourself. God loves you.

        @Witz End — I favor your comments because time and time here I’ve seen where these so called ‘open gayers’ have nose dived and left a sleuth of their commoners / flock high and dry for the real deal down to becoming wives and mothers — yes I said it wives and mothers by men as it should be. So all this drip about I’m open or out of the closet is a phase for many and all it does recycle persons minds for a stint until reality sets in. In my opinion people make decisions that bare down on them at their lowest and regardless of how long that hurt lingers, the truth always manifest.

          My dear, it the least we can do to open our mouths and try to add some commonsense thinking to the national debate about "rights" and priviledges. Everybody feels that they have a right to do what they want with themselves. Society is very permissive because the world promotes freedom of choice without regards to consequences. But when modesty goes out the door, morality follows.
          When you look at how young ladies (the regular ones) dress today you cannot tell the Christian from the "ho". Breast and thighs for the world to see all on facebook, even pastors wives and people who are supposed to be representing Christ in humility and modesty.
          Not saying that Christian women can't be fashionable but at least their private parts should be covered.
          Somehow their influencers not seem to be anle to give them any moral guidance.
          But the older generation will be punished for turning a blind eye and playing dumb because they prefer to stick their heads in the sand and say its a young people thing.
          Things have really gone far in the breakdown of morality, but I believe in hope, and that we should not give up on people. Pray for them and let God do what only God can do.

    Kishi,
    You are very bold and I commend you. This thing has been in the BVI since creation. People stop lying to yourself. What we need to do is to pray for her so that she can turn from this desire. BVI, we need to pray for her and other, they need us more than ever. Which one of us is without sin cast the first stone.

    Kish, Read the below for guidance.

    God created humans to engage in sex only within the arrangement of marriage between a male and a female. (Genesis 1:27, 28; Leviticus 18:22; Proverbs 5:18, 19) The Bible condemns sexual activity that is not between a husband and wife, whether it is homosexual or heterosexual conduct. (1 Corinthians 6:18) This includes intercourse, fondling another person’s genitals, and engaging in oral or anal sex. While the Bible disapproves of homosexual acts, it does not condone hatred of homosexuals or homophobia. Instead, Christians are directed to “respect everyone.”—1 Peter 2:17,

    If you are a woman and you are gay fine, the problem I have is when the woman walks around dress like a man. I know a female that is gay, but you will never know because she is very feminine. Hair on point, heels, dress nice, makeup and nails always on point.

Mind you, I didn't say ONE person, I said a FEW...of various denominations right here in this good ole BVI. If you all ONLY KNEW who are having sex with the same gender you all won't step a foot back into a church. It is because of this stigma against homosexuals that have the leaders within the church and those on the streets fearful to live their gotdamn truth. You people are sick and judgmental.

    I must say this young lady is very brave indeed to speak out on social media on this subject in the BVI. As a people we have strong opinions on so many things happening in our society and homosexuality is certainly one of them. We are a church-going community who in every pew in church you can find a dozen children born out of wedlock. We have to start reading the whole Bible. Fornication is wrong according to God's law. Free sex without the commitment of marriage has destroyed the moral fabric of communities all over the world and we are no exception. Some men date wonderful women for years and make several children with them while they continue to have sex with other women and in some cases move on to new relationships after leaving children in several households. If we sit and look at what is happening in our society, what has become the norm, it is actually mind boggling. Looking at it, morally, does it seem right or wrong, even outside of the Bible?

    Our children are taught as soon as you are old enough look for a relationship and it is okay to take your clothes off, right out the gate and have sex without consequences. You are weird and a punk if you a not indoctrinated into this group even as early as 14 and 15. Well the Bible tells us what is sin. So just like stealing, telling lies, idolatry, covetousness, being disobedient to parents et cetera, homosexuality is sinful. Sex outside of marriage is sinful. What we need to do is pray for each other, for what we are teaching our children and generations to come is that once you feel like doing something, it is your business. Go ahead. There is no one to answer to. But, alas, there is! Even without Biblical teachings, taking off your clothes and having sex with multiple men in my opinion is disgusting. But that is my opinion. You are free to have yours.

    One thing we can be sure of as God promises that after death there is the judgment. So we should all worry about where we will spend eternity for once we do, our moral compass would lead us towards living a Godly life. There is a Heaven and there is a Hell. Do you want to have all the fun you can on this earth and hear "Depart from me. I know you not." Well, as for me, I want to hear "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Let us teach our children that there is right and there is wrong in all things and that we do not make the rules as we go along. I say this not to judge, but knowing that the greatest of these is love.

      @ brave: I commend you for all you’ve said.. I couldn’t put it better myself..bottom line is is that as parents we have a responsibility to teach our children the Word of God; they may not always listen or may go away from it sadly but we “have to” plant that Seed of God’s Word in them as they grow.. outside influences etc have at times changed the way they think but I truly believe that once that seed is planted and we keep praying God Will intervene ..your post was so wonderful and on point that I read it to my child - a keeper .. Thank you so very much .. Blessings.. God’s Word says that we ought to teach our children the Word of God that they bind it around their necks like chain that it will not depart from them as they get older.. it is my prayer that many parents and young people alike read your Blog and give credence to it for we all have to stand before God’s Judgment seat one day.. I pray for children/ people everywhere that those that do not know God come to know Him.. and all of us that are here condoning lifestyles such as this we too have to answer to God for doing so and I hope you all know this. And kishma again I beg you for your soul’s sake turn away from this sin and seek God that one day you will see His face.. (an old adage says that the man that prepares for this life is wise but he that doesn’t prepare for the life after is but a fool)..

    Hi family, I am not going to throw the Bible at you as you raised some very valid points about other sins and injustices to others that should be called out. You also raised good points about being patriotic and community minded for a better BVI. I admire you for that Cuz. I will ask you thought to read Ephesians 6:10-20 as to who are really your enemies and how to fight them.

    However, I have to warn you that you have fell into a trap of which The Evil One has orchestrated the global elite to promote and make acceptable among humanity through downloading such thoughts into our minds, through music, through vaccinations, through the food and drinks, through the chemtrails, through frequencies, through tv and movie shows, through education curriculum and many other media.

    I grew up in the Church like you and know your mom and have now found that the Bible is the greatest science and history book and the The Evil One, the Catholic Church and the global elite fear and dread it.

    You need to read and study it with the assistance of other canonical and non-canonical books and videos of history, anthropology, news and others and ask for the gift of discernment and wisdom from the Almighty. You are not going to get all this understanding from just reading the Bible or going to Church. I started this journey in earnest May 2007 and I am in awe of how deceptive the Evil One and how he has infiltrated all denominations and every aspect of life. Only Jehovah can help us and that is why we have to pray everyday in sincerity to God to help us in our daily lives. You are a very vocal person and that is an excellent quality that you have. Please I urge you to do this research for the sake of yourself and the rest of us in humanity that are still human.

    My journey started with Genesis 6, 2nd Peter and Jude, and then I read the Book of Enoch that described the 200 angels called the Watchers (over humanity) that came down on Mount Hebron ions ago. They were responsible for teaching humanity the knowledge of and use of certain things on this planet. Then my mind went back to the history books that I was taught from in BVI High School by Isaac Dookhan on Slavery, European History, Caribbean History including the Aztec, Mayas, and the Incas (child sacrifices, bounding ritual off children's heads, etc), African History particularly Egypt (and the pyramids) and the Middle East, and try to make the connections to the Bible. Then I read more books of the secret societies and the Illuminati and the connection to the Vatican and today I am quite awoke now of the global elite's agenda, especially the UN Agenda 2030 or Agenda 21. Your choice of lifestyle my Cuz is a deliberate part of it. Think about Baphomet, a demon god - a goat head, two female breasts, male genitalia, and goat hands and legs. Actual statutes are now being erected throughout the world in public government places with little children statutes. My mind goes back also to all those fairy tales that spoke of creatures of giants, fairies, witches and believe it or not, these things existed during the time of Noah and God sent flood to destroy them and why so many disembodied spirits today.
    The global elite has gone even further into the transgender agenda where for the last 50 years have been using persons in secret societies to allow this diabolical agenda upon their children by hormones and later surgery. The Olympics now accept transgender persons to compete. It was done secretly I understand by the Russians. Most of their gymnists were male but looked female. You would be amazed as to how many celebrities, politicians, living Europeans royals and others who are not what they appear. Some are more noticeable than others and as some get old their features show their true identity.

    You need to study the agenda of the global elite and it is them who you should be concerned with. You have walked right into their trap. The gay agenda is being promoted heavily as a depopulating tool and most of all to steal and distance your spirit and soul from Source who we call Jehovah. Lucifer now called Satan, the Devil, the Adversary, the Evil One is pissed and angry at God for creating him only to be the Music Director in Heaven and nothing else. Lucifer wants God's power and all of the other authority and pleasures that were bestowed on humanity. First of all there are fallen angels and disembodied spirits walking among humanity and influencing us and even more so trying to get total possession of our physical vessels and control our souls and spirits. We must at all cost not allow that and it is constant prayer, fasting, worship, reading and meditating on the Word, singing old time hymns, sharing the message with others, and congregating with others of like mind are what going to get us through our life on earth (and which I finally and firmly accept and believe after all this research).

    Please, I beg you to read and study Genesis 6 and then the Book of Enoch that explains that chapter. The Book of Enoch tells the story of the great battle in Heaven between Jehovah and Lucifer and how he was able to deceive a third of the angels to side with him. Then the same book also spoke about the 200 angels that were Watchers over humanity that were also thrown out of heaven. Pay attention to the mainstream and non-mainstream media and pray sincerely for discernment and which I did and received. I searched, read and watched multiple sources before I fully understood what is happening right now. The world is not going to getting any better and we are definitely in the last days. There is the Georgia Guides Stones in USA that spells out the Agenda of the United Nations (UN) that is under the influence of the Evil One, there is the 13 ruling families of the world that can be traceable back to the Tower of Babel, there is the cover up of history of the first true Hebrews (us) and the curse upon them for disobeying God through worship of other Gods and we were warned. Why do you think Bill and Melinda Gates, the World Health Organisation and the global elite want to vaccinate Blacks first throughout the world? They have found out that we and other races have woken up to the Luciferian Agenda. Research is coming out that ingredients in some of COVID-19 vaccinations have Lucifer's name attached to them. See Wikipedia - "The name was first used by Raphaël Dubois who invented the words luciferin and luciferase, for the substrate and enzyme, respectively." This is not a coincidence. They are hoping that most of us not to believe or become aware of what is really going on and the few of us that are awoke would be labelled as conspiracy theorists, but being that the events now are happening so fast, the global elite is using force against governments including ours to fast forward their diabolical plans and are hoping for willing minds to rise up against their own government and cause chaos. Do not fall into the trap. We need God more than ever before. Right now in USA the music, sports and film industry are turning on the very people, mostly us (Blacks) that made them money by releasing information of all the devious things that were done for decades. Notice Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, mainstream media personalities who only did interviews on Blacks who did bad things in their careers: Bill Cosby, R.Kelly, Russell Simmonds, Michael Jackson and others and none about Epstein, Weinstein, QE II son Andrew, Clive Davis, Al Cohen, Hugh Hefner (who owned Playboy Mansion) - all non-Blacks.

    This message is for everyone and I encourage you to read and research as from 2021, life is going to get tougher. I pray for everyone including our leadership and the House of Assembly and the other influencers in BVI who are still human to not get caught up in secret societies and get AWOKE.....PLEASE....

    I hear arguments from both sides, questioning whether one sin is greater than the other. The answer is no. Blowing a rusting trombone is no different than a lustful thought. Here where the problem lies however. A man with a lustful thought, may one day come too and say “Lord, forgive me, for I have sinned” and as such may try to live a new life free of that sin. Can a homosexual do the same? Perhaps. But in reality, does a man who takes bud tonight, ask God for forgiveness only to take bud the next night? Is he truly sorry for his sin? Does he want to live a life free of sin? Its truly doubtful.

    What bothers me, is the fact that we are forced to accept and respect their pride in being who they are. I have yet to hear of a murders pride day, an adulterers pride day, a thieves pride day. So why must we hold pride in sin?

    Finally homsexuality is not natural in nature. Some may argue some vague or abstract cases of a few known species engaging in one off homosexual practices. This however is not mainstream. Nearly every creature in this world requires a female/male counterpart for procreation. Plain and simple. There are a few creatures that are “hermorphidites” and can self procreate such as the certain species of jellyfish, but nearly everyone else needs each other.

    Perhaps we should start an experiment where we start a colony of homosexuals, where they are free to love who they love and do as they please, and come back in 50 years to do a census on their offsprings. Unless they dibble dabbling over the fence, that colony would only be 1 generational and cease to exist afterwards.

    I once heard a guy describe being born gay as an imbalance. Imagine a scale from 1-10 he said. The alpha male is usually closer to 10. The female is closer to 1. So, sometimes women get too much and they are closer to 10. Thus, the woman you swear looks like a man. Men who get too little, are then closer to 1. Thus, the effeminate male.
    This truth struck me years ago when I read an article in an international paper where a 5 year old girl kept telling her parents she’s a boy. She hated her pink dresses and long hair. The mother at her wits end finally took the child to a psychologist who suggested that the parents indulge the child and make the transformation. Well, the before and after pics said it all. It was clear the child was more comfortable as a boy. The imbalance of hormones or (whatever it is) takes a toll on the psyche of the person affected.

      Interesting. I was wondering when a transgender supporter would enter the fray. It's strange that a treatment can be found for every ailment known to man, but none for the hormonal imbalance you mention. So the only solution is a sex change? Maybe the mother and the psychologist were atheist. People who don't believe in God think that botching up his creation is the only solution.

    The global elite and their puppet masters and puppeteers are putting chemicals in the childhood vaccinations and specific foods and drinks to masculine females and effeminate males and more so the melanin population (Blacks) where they create an hormonal unbalance in the body. There is also a very high incidences of autism and AHDH among Black males as well as fibroids among Black females, all to reduce the Black population. Why? Other races are suffering the same fate but the numbers are unreasonably high among the melinated group.

    Ephesians 6:12-13
    12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

    However, He shall gave us no more than we can bear and all our help cometh from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth.

    My personal view everyone should be free to love whomever they chose and have a union with whomever they chose, but when it comes to marriage that is a christian covenant before God that is specifically for the joining of a man and a woman. no one is forcing you to be a heterosexual it's your life to live as you see fit. Why should someone else go against their faith to unite a same sex couple under a christian covenant to satisfy someone's desire to be wed that doesn't fall in line with the principal of marriage? Or why should same sex marriage be entertained for revenue if it goes against someones faith. Just because something is socially acceptable that does not make it right.
