A CHURCH, opposite an Urban Renewal Centre, and its members were held up and robbed in broad daylight yesterday.
According to authorities, the incident happened around 2:30pm at Nassau Village as Yahweh House of Prayer members were cleaning up after a community soup kitchen.
Police said two men, armed and masked, approached two of the women at the church and demanded cash. The culprits fled the scene with jewellery and handbags in a dark grey coloured Honda, which belonged to one of the women.

Persons don't have respect for the church no matter what. Just yesterday (21/11/2013) at around 8pm a jitney stopped in the middle of the road to let a passenger off on Rocky Pine Road. After a male passenger got of and the bus began moving again, a group of males whom where still on the bus began shouting curse words from the window at three boys who were walking along side the road, (boy we would fu-k you'll up). I figured that was the norm for a jitney, however on reaching the corner an the jitney turned broad-side, visible on the side was 'Mission Baptist Church' (plate #2245). At this point I was like wtf

Very Disturbing, but the Church no longer has its sacred stature in the minds of many so we should not expect criminals to have any care for what is suppose to be the house of God. They see many religious leaders living large when many of the members live in poverty. There is even a reality show about Pastors where they show the glamorous life some of these guys live with the tailor made suits, expensive houses and cars. These criminals figure well the Church robbs the people guess we can robb the Church.

Educational system is the prime culprit. Countries with the least amount of crime have the highest standards of education.

Comrades you'd have to bring back from the grave a trial lawyer of the likes of an Eugene Dupuch to whip up sympathy for the two thugs who robbed a church's soup kitchen. Maybe their defense lawyers at trial could plead that their clients shouldn't receive the maximum jail time, being they didn't after all steal the pots, pans and utensils from a soup kitchen. That's gotta go in their favor, right?

These are the times in which we live. This is spiritual warfare going on here. The foundation of society is badly eroded. The quality of family life is no longer what it use to be. Everything else crumbles as a result.

Well, my advice for the robbers who are probably asking someone to read this story for them, is to keep looking over your shoulders and watch your back. "Vengeance is mine," says the Lord. I will repay." Watch it now... You can't believe that will go down just like that. It's cheaper they just turn themselves into the police to save God the trouble of dealing with them Himself.

Sadistic personality disorder allows countless persons to laugh at the pain and suffering they cause others without caring at all what they are doing to a country that would soon comprehend without GOD it would have been more than hell on earth for everyone.
