    It really amazes me in this time and age that One would talk about someone or people leaving the Catholic church. I was a naive Catholic church member, who was fed lies, and wasn’t taught anything about the word of God, never was I taught to live a Godly life. I could live my sinful life, pray to one who died 1000yrs ago who had no way of forgiving my sins., confess to a sinner as myself, who would pray for forgiveness for me. Are you kidding? People still think that way? Jesus Christ is the only one who forgives and leads one to a victorious life. Be careful people, not all who say Lord Lord, is a christian

    I hope prisma is brought to justice once and for all!!! I am a victim of his clever tricks…over 16,000.00 over time.I was too scared to report it to anyone because I was very young and he threatened to kill me in all sorts of ways if I reported it. He told me he was part of a cult who would sacrifice me and my family if I told anyone or if I did not come up with the money. I begged family,friends,stole from my parents to get him money every week. The misery I went through for months would scare readers. Dear God please let this guy be punished!!! I’m sure there are many more victims like me out there. He takes advantage of young,vulnerable,naive looking ladies and who knows maybe senior citizens too who are scared for their lives. He needs to be put away for good?

      He is a crook. He appears to be a man whom people should stay away from. For what he did, he is in trouble and will not escape justice in Dominica.
      Sorry to know what you went through this.
      Pray to God to help you ease that pain.
      God will take care of him in time. He will not escape.

    Doctor Birdie, the mighty Sparrow , the Calypso genius of all time puts it nicely in the song entitled: “The Good Citizen” it says in chorus: ” it is the same old bastards that make ,break and flaunt the law and turn around to have the law protect them at the same time.” He goes on to say ” these good citizens are the architects of modern slavery.” The lyrics of this song has more relevance to Dominica today than it has ever had anywhere else. The CABAL continues to enjoy and live the meaning of the song, flaunting the law even the constitution and when challenged they use the same law and same constitution to protect them.

      What? He owes all that money to your friend and other people? Who is that man? Does he have a business? Is he employed? It looks as if he has done this to many people.
      You know these sayings: “What goes around comes around in time” and “What people sow they will reap.” It is only a matter of time. He will get what he deserves. Patience!

      The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. He needs more than words.
      It is not only by reciting “The Sinners’ Prayer”, reading Holy Scripture and/or listening to it read and preached which will make one a true, honest Christian. Saying it is one, living/it is another. It also takes determination to cease bad habits. One has to be strong.
      Anyone can say they have given their life to Christ. These days, some of those who were practicing Catholics allowed themselves to be influenced and deceived. In so doing they renounced their Catholic faith.
      It takes genuine worship and a lot of prayers to keep one from sinning. and grievously. Whenever temptation of any nature is felt, the first thing to do is to call on God.
      Whenever it is also felt, tell Satan where to go and he will disappear. This enemy is deceptive and persistent. Therefore, people must be alert to his whims and wiles.
      Satan finds some mischief for idle hands to do.
      Pray for your friend.

    When can we start charging politicians for deception and defrauding the country. When i say politicians i mean everyone. Some getting pay every month and not calling regular parliamentary sessions, others not showing up, some frankly doing nothing and passport selling without account to the state.
