    What is the VI Christian Council doing to address and speak out against certain “pastors” who think writing a fancy sermon or getting a degree in theology automatically confirms them as a genuine pastor all while dabbling in and spearheading secular activities that involve alcohol, lewdness, secular music, etc.?

        It’s funny how you’re using other people in the church name to make it look like they wrote it. Why you didn’t use your real name Miss Lady? We all know who you are. All I’m gonna tell you is don’t come round pastor playing and you need to seek help and stop the lying and confusion.

    This is the best that they can do? Who does she have any love for? She fights against homosexuals and refuses to pass the same judgement on her family and inner circle. Some high minded people don’t even speak to a large part of the Christian Community! The Council can do better!

    Set of bigoted hypocrites. What they are doing to those 2 lovely ladies and putting them through is far from Christian.

      They aint doing a thing to the 2 ladies. Those ladies doing that to themselves and furthermore the Attorney General/the Government not them. Finally this case was never about those 2 young ladies...and that's the lie the devil trying to feed us all around the Caribbean. Look at UK and USA where choas and maddnes now reside and religious persons cannot practice their faith and them dont know what is a woman or what is a man and have thousands of genders. Stop your crap. Jesus is coming soon. REPENT and believe the Good News. The Good News is Jesus paid the price of your salvation as a free gift for all people of the world and all you have to do is believe in Him and accept that free gift before the expiration date so you will not perish. John 3:16. Yall going mock and mock until the flood really come.

    Waste of time PRESIDENT. No sign of leadership. One year of self-serving.

    In sharing his vision for the next term, President Rodney cited three areas of focus: Unity, Youths and Social Ills in the community. Last year's vision continues!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Would be interested to know the volume of regular church-goers these folks collectively represent. Some of these churches might have only 20 or 30 attendees. My point is that this group speaks for only a very small number of adults here in BVI and probably ought to have zero political influence. I noticed that the BVI Mountain-bike Facebook group has 600 members so it might be fair to give that group of enthusiasts a similar forum if we do so with those people who are enthusiastic about their preferred mythology.

    Everybody and their granny is an Apostle. Y’all need to stop! You know what is an Apostle? I would never him Apostle. I would call him by the name his mother gave him. Another famous church title is Bishop. How can you call yourself a Bishop when you have two or three living wives? The Bible says that a Bishop is the husband of ONE wife.

    Read that again…

    Was not one of these two behaving like sambos before the Brits on their visits advocating for the UK to take over and treat Virgin Islands residents like children, kissing the ring and behaving in an obsequious manner? Which one? Need to hear the tape of that meeting to determine who?

      To Disinterested, who was the one? The Christian Council as far I know didn’t tell us what transpired in the meeting with Amanda Milling and others prior to embracing the Unity Government ?Do the CC of the view they have no obligation to brief us? What is its purpose? Who are they responsible to?
