      We will see what the fake pastor preaches at that funeral.

      Then again he and all in the world mocking God.

      Set of “feel good” sermons without telling people the truth of what God’s has spoken in his Word.

      Stop following these posers and follow God. Obey God.

      In John 8:44, Jesus identifies those who reject his message as being "of your father the devil". He claims that the devil, being a liar and the father of lies, was a murderer from the beginning, and his followers will do the lusts of the flesh.

    I need somewhere to air this concern.

    All vehicular traffic from East End is directed over Hope Hill road as Paraquita Bay is closed. There is a huge build-up of traffic on mornings, even if you leave home early. This is because the Hope Hill road is in such deplorable conditions, and the brilliant folks at PWD or wherever decided to dig several portions of the road (I know it was bad before but this made it worse) and leave it with cones in them. This seriously impedes the flow of traffic. It takes more than half an hour to get from East End into Road Town.

    There are at least four or five members from the HOA who has to use this road daily, can someone, anyone, please get the problem fixed?

    To all the people supporting the drug trade and those mourning him — what exactly do you miss? The man as a human, or his drug money? Anyone who believes someone responsible for causing so much pain can rest in peace is seriously delusional. The BVI is better off without him. And may every business built off blood money fail, just like the man behind it.

    SIP Mr. Erickson I'm reading the comments of fools and jealous ones who are the walking dead. Blogging insults and still can't pay their bills. Got big adults in their parents house blogging just waste of oxygen. That man Killa had a purpose and he lived it to the fullest...Remember PUCCEES where here for a GOOD time not a LONG TIME.

      Isaiah 57:21 states, “'There is no peace,' says my God, 'for the wicked. '” Perhaps the substitution of the word “rest” for “peace” comes from the preceding verse, Isaiah 57:20: “But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud.”

    To everyone who have negative things to say about him, i understand how you feel but do not defile yourselves by celebrating his death. Nyron was the product of a community that failed him. Not everyone supported the life he lived but enough of the community, family and friends supported him enough so that he could reach the level he did. That portion of the community celebrated him loudly and proudly while those that didn't had turned a blind eye or were not loud enough. The blood of those killed is on their hands just as much as they are on his. All who are too afraid to speak against this life style have their place in the lake of fire as Revelations 21:8 lists the COWARDLY as the first in line straight to hell.

    Farewell NY and condolences to the family.

    @@ The Usurper. It seems like fanatic people like you know how to quote the scripture conveniently to bring instant condemnation on others. But it appears as though you overlooked the part which clearly states that sin is sin and we will all be judged for our actions. Whilst many accusations have been surfacing about the victim (which I am in no way defending) we must also condemn and chastise those who consistently thief, tell lies, fornicate, suppress others, etc, etc. Not only him, but all of us will end up in hell fire if we do not repent of our sins. And guess what? It isn’t because you are a preacher, a politician or Sunday school teacher; you will face the judgement just like the criminal or drug dealer.

      We shouldn’t change the Bible so it can conform to us. We should let the Bible change us so we can be conformed to Christ.

      Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

    He is already dead, let his family bury him and let's forget about the negative things that someone has about him. Remember that if he continues to be alive, your future may be different. Don't get involved in something that I don't accuse him of. And if many people know why he died that way, let's take care of ourselves so that cancer or a heart attack is not the end for us.

    Speak of the living not of the dead, no one knows of his or her end that is to come. The man has lived now he’s gone respect and say goodbye to that chapter that is now closed because if you think it can’t get worse maybe it open the door for that worse to come, or it was for the better, that’s something that the future will tell, goodbye to the life lost. “Shouldn’t be rejoicing in one taking another’s life.”
