Evangelical churches oppose Tommy Lee Sparta concert

The organization said Sparta's lyrics promote violence
The organization said Sparta’s lyrics promote violence

The idea of controversial artiste, Tommy Lee Sparta, performing on  the island is coming under more fire, this time from the Dominica Association of Evangelical Churches (DAEC).

On Friday DAEC made its opinion known in a release which said the organization expresses “deep concerns with the decision by a local business entity/promoter to invite entertainer Tommy Lee Sparta to feature at a planned concert.”

It is calling on organizers to review the decision for hosting the concert and is calling on all Dominicans to boycott it to send a strong signal “that we will not support anything that promotes violence and lawlessness in our beautiful country.”

“The lyrics of the music by Sparta promotes violence, a phenomenon that we are currently grappling with in our nation,” DAEC said. “The current pattern of crime and violence in Dominica is of significant concern and provides us with an enormous challenge that further inspiration in crime and violence is unwanted.”

According to the organization the artiste’s pseudonym, “uncle demon”, “is instructive and clearly speaks to the general persona of the individual. Why would someone assume such a name? The Scriptures are very clear on demonism and its attendant effects on individuals and nations. Do we therefore desire that persona to be delivering a message of violence to our youth and over our nation?”

“The Church is concerned about the immediate and long-term impact that such exposure may have on the young impressionable minds of our nation and may fuel the level of violence in a town that has seen tremendous challenges in that area over the past year,” according to DAEC.

The organization went on to say a group of pastors from the North/North East of DOminica has initiated a Prayer March through the town of Portsmouth carded for Sunday, February 9, 2014, against the entry of the artiste to Dominica and against the planned concert and its intent.

“The DAEC, in solidarity with the Pastors, calls upon all Evangelicals in Dominica to move in support of this March, as we stand against the powers of darkness and declare that Dominica is in the Hands of the Great God Jehovah who has rule over the Universe!” DAEC said.

The concert is expected to take place on February 16 in Portsmouth and main organizer, Cabral Douglas, has defended the decision, saying Sparta, whose real name is Leroy Russel, will send a positive message of upliftment.

“Hopefully the youth in Dominica and Portsmouth will be inspired by him,” he said.

Sparta was arrested in Jamaica earlier this week for allegedly being involved in a scam on that island.

    Jamaican’s raw so the things they say comes out more inappropriate sometimes. Listen to Triple K and their lyrics. They rude just like Tommy Lee and Kartel! Their music don’t portray anything decent and allu accepting them to play in all action it have d/ca every weekend. Not one time allu come on radio and TV and tell triple K to improve on their lyrics. “I want to go down in your sous, and bend down for de wood etc.. All that making those kids turn up and ready “for the wood” Stop bashing on foreign artist and let’s take a look at OURS first!

    More nonsense from the churches. How about you prove that your religious beliefs are true before preventing popular artists from coming to the island? If you want to talk about other negatives in the songs, like promotion of violence, that is one thing; but to oppose the man just because of a nickname is ridiculous. Would you oppose a Muslim artist from performing because he is a Muslim? Should an atheist artist who gives money to charities and who does good for the world in general be banned from coming because he or she is not a believer?

    Educate all you-selves.

    I get the same and worse nastyness beamed into my home everyday.
    Not just Audio but Video as well. Via Radio, TV and Internet
    I suppose its easy to target Cabral and Tommy Lee Sparta.
    Within this free democratic country, everyone should be free to earn as long as they operate within our law.
    I don’t appreciate the cable TV showing Rape scenes, gruesome killings and homosexual ‘sex’ acts, so I simple don’t watch these.

    Like people of other nations, we Dominicans have our differences. It doesn’t take politics to remind us of that. Individually and collectively, we are very much a people and a work in progress. However, I must say my heart is glad to see the majority here is in agreement and united in common sense and common good against the agents of the “roaring lion” who cleverly reels in our vulnerable youths and adults alike through subtle, subliminal and sometimes overt messages. Remember, “Après Bondie, C’est La Ter”. Let us stand firm.

    The only thing I can say..the best way to protest is for no one to show up at the concert. Let him come but dont show up. Let the show flop. That was show a clear message.

    Question:
    Would we allow Rihanna to perform in Dominica?
    What about JayZ?
    What about Beyonce?
    The truth is the majority of these artist are under the influence of demonic activity, hence their rise to fame, many of them have confessed to such activity…
    Beyonce
    Eminem
    Elvis Presley
    John Lennon
    Snoop Dog…and the list goes on. My concern is, when we open up ourselves to the Demons and their activity then we are become under their control.
    I am not sure if DNO would print this last sentence, but for those of you who have Barbadian connections, ask them what happened on November 1st 2013 when the Rihanna concert was canceled. And form your own conclusions after.

    Tell “Tommy Lee” to come to a country where Islamic law is in full force. Why will he never be allowed because the flag of absolute monotheism is risen, “There is no god worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is His last messenger.” If we want to purge these satanic forces from our society, the people need to come back to the monotheistic teachings of the prophets. Our people in Dominica are filled with superstitious beliefs that has nothing to do with divine law.

    When our people give up illogical teachings like trinity, God having offspring or a son, praying through mediators, secular democracy, worshiping of saints, superstition, horoscopes and other dangerous satanic beliefs we will begin to see a healthier society.

    The very “Christians” have rejected the message of Jesus peace be upon him who taught the unity of God/Allah and prayed directly to Allah without a mediator. There are evidences in your bible that supports this as well as the bible is truth mixed with falsehood. The way to decipher truth from falsehood is the use of the Holy Qur’an, the final book revealed by Allah to mankind. Will you not then believe?

    Well people have to find ways to make bread. Arrogance and ill conceived decisions can never pay bread. They think that they control Dominica and want to interfere with the UWP politics but sorry we don’t want those conceited , know all and lazy labourites down there. Look at the state of the restaurant…la la la la la !After UWP dump them because they wanted to run elections of us then this got them so upset and they desperate but CHANGE MUST COME and we really don’t neeed such people in our midst.
    Trust me am not going near that show because I am not in any kind of acts that are said to push the agenda from THE OTHER SIDE / THE DARK SIDE. As a believing catholic Christian am not in dat and I think we should boycott this, some say its a means to raise campaign funds for a party that is in coma LOOOK BOWDEL !

    dats SATANISM and we shall impose a curse unto ourselves and our community and our country and our families if we encourage any aspect of the living that is evidentially known to encourage obedience to the occult, Satan or any evil no matter what form it taketh..We must research this artist productions etc and come to our conclusion.
    However the Evangelical society must not be biased ; so when the leader of a major political party said that, he will remove the anointing, of their fellow member Pastor Peter , they said nothing and when the leader of another party said, go to hell not of your damn business , they were also mute. When some pastors behave more like politicians than servants of God then we have to be concerned. When some pastors behave one way in public’s pulpit and speak the gospel and at home and in private life they behave as agents of Satan. Some show no respect for young girls some of whom they violate sexual and help destroy families and marriages and relationships.
    LORD HEAR OUR PRAYERS,LET US PROTECT OUR DOMINICA FROM ALL EVIL IF NOT WE WILL INVOKE GOD’S WRATH!

    Those christans only know one part of the bible,yes the bible speaks about demons it also speaks about revelling /parting i don’t see you all wanting to boycott carnival or activities of that kind, which can also send you to hell. Infact som priest or even the bishop prays before revelling activities. Is not worshipping the devil and revelling the same? Both send you to hell, if you are still doing them both and don’t repent before Jesus returns hell will be your new place of residence

    DAEC must shut their mouth; and if they have a conscience, they must not be selective of WHEN it kicks in.Pastors committing crime against their church; DAEC takes no damn position.the scripture condemns bad governance, we see day light robbery in government…we see polititions abusing young women, we see victimization; DAEC is yet to take a position.They have no morale authority to call on dominicans to stand up for anything at all. this association should be disbanded. And you all can jump high, jump low; you all are con-artiste and you all are not godly men.i am not one for reggae stars. if genuine dominicans call for a bouy cut, in my opinion, they dont even have to allow this guy to enter melville hall airport. but DAEC must first speak on the GON Emmanuel issue,the injustice handed down by the court re: the inspector corbette shooting and the failure of the DPP to re-instate the case or to recommend disciplinary charges. until they do that, they have no morale authority to speak.they must also speak on the number of pastors coniving with and covering the supremos track.you all are NOT godly men, go take a duc!

      Alas alas. This man has tattoos all over his body. I have no idea what they could represent but I can tell you the ones beneath his eyes (triangular organisation)is a symbol of the occult. It is a secretive sign of the Aquarian conspirators (new age occult). People normally wear what they believe in or feel at a given moment. If this is what he chooses to carry around. Who or what is he representing or believing in. This man seems to me to be deep down in the devils army. Openly calling on demons means openly inviting them to take hold of you and whomever is chanting your chants.

      It’s not art…don’t be fooled. Just like the God has his instruments (people) on earth so does the devil. Nobody in their own consciousness calls on demons. You have to be part of their operation, maybe a high ranking member too. Cause you have to be to call on demons and you bet they will answer. You either on the side of light or the side of darkness. Not like he’s alone but I say Tommy Lee is sold out to the devil.

      All religious people have a right to speak up and stand up against welcoming this man to Dominica and have him perform to D/cans. The type of person this so-called artiste is, he would be disallowed in Canada and no doubt the US and Great Britain. For one, he was recently arrested for illegal activities. It makes his situation even worst.
      So who is the fool? Obviously, it is the organizer(s) of this concert and you who condone and exalt this man. :twisted: :twisted: His name is not worth mentioning.

    The man is known for promoting violence in his lyrics what makes you think he will suddenly change that for Dominica. His money he want.
    And dont you think it might just be a gateway to somehow introduce that lotto scam thing here? Jamaica is in a mess because of that!

    We need to think. We seem to want to sacrifice our nice peaceful country for a few extra dollars and we dont care who we hurt. When we have lost what we have is only then we will realize what we had. It will be too late then.

    Mr. Russel you need to re-consider your decision to bring this man here.

    What’s with some of you guys just being hypocrites. This s an artist you got the choice to go see him or not,he has not been to Dominica and there’s violence any way. Your kids has not seen him and they listen to other artist which has much more violence in there lyrics and you allow them to listen any way so the same way you do that stop them from going to the show. But others who can control there self when he see or listen they know they do not have to do it. Let them make there choice its not up to you. Control your kids the way you chooses too.u

    Many may not see the danger ahead, but letting this artist in the country, is just like letting Satan loose to do as he please. The devil is a lier and the souls of our young people are way too precious to let Satan have his way. Another thing to be addressed too is the image that is placed on the newly constructed bridge leading into roseau. That toob is demons.

      May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
      and do thou,
      O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
      by the power of God,
      thrust into hell Satan,
      and all the evil spirits,
      who prowl about the world
      seeking the ruin of souls. Amen..

      His music should not even be sold in Dominica. The man has a bad reputation and is a bad example. Do not tell me you are so blind to this. I suppose that God has blinded your eye. For it is stated in Holy Scripture: “If our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled for those who are perishing” that the eyes of the non-believers will be blinded… :twisted: :twisted:

    Whether or not I think the Messenger has been reactive enough in other situations: I totally agree with thier views on this matter. We have evil and violence, yes, in Dominica so why bring in artistes who help to add fuel to the fire.

      congratulations, pastors. good that you all are speaking out.
      hope that is the beginning.
      you all need to also speak against the injustices happening in the land.
      the injustice,the exploitation and the ills of the govt. particularly the p.m.

    I agree. I think his message in the music is just too dark and nothing positive about it. I wish it gets a very low turn out. Whoever the organizers are need to listen to the people. Give the people what they want not what u feel like!

      That is just what the organizer is doing; giving us what we want. U have mixed people everywhere. If you listen to the people, we want Tommy Lee. A couple of his songs are not enticing i must say but he got a spectacular flow. Justice plz. See the gosple promoter(CJ). Look at the pastor that defraud his hometown church of more that 2 million.Bad people are involved everywhere.

        We do not have to be reminded that there are bad people everywhere. Stick to the issue. It is about allowing a man such as he and the type of name and lyrics to perform in Dominica.
        This man is making a mockery of God and of religious people who recognize God and worship Him. This man should be kept away from Dominica. Period!!!

      I totally agree there is so much division, hate, envy, jealousy, adultery and so much more taking place in these churches why don’t they deal with their issues before coming here and trying to destroy the man’s hustle listen to caressa song, explosion pasta rod, pasta wine and then come and condemn tommy lee. Some of their own children making violent rap songs and they don’t even know it. Bunch of hypocrites all these evangelicals they are always right and another person view is always wrong jus like a worker and a laborite. a worker want you to accept that the country going to hell in a hand basket but when we as loborats point out the development that taking place they want to get all vex and violent with you

      The churches are more demonic than some of the artist.They are hypocrites and they steal from the poor and build their big mansions and drive the most expensive rides. If they are people of god they would not judge him. Hope that all you that trying to keep him from coming has a clean heart. Please note that I am not a supporter of this man but is just entertainment.

    • Simply the Truth
      February 8, 2014

      Today I thought the same. We are nearing the last days. Deviating a bit, I heard today Scotland has legalized so-called same sex marriage. Granted as in other countries, not all are pleased. I thought of Sodom and Gomorrah and what Our Almighty Father did to them and those who practice this abomination. I am overwhelmed that some politicians would vote for this abomination in their land and others will applaud it that they do not fear God and what could happen to them when they die; bad enough while they are living. Today we have many more disasters than we ever had. This accounts for it.
      I said, God is patient that, when some other countries do likewise, this is when God will send down his fire and brimstones on the earth.
      These people think it is normal to sing such ungodly songs as this man is doing. The organizers of the concert know fully well the type of person he is and what type of songs he sings yet they invited him to sing in Dominica. Shame on them. There is too much godlessness in the world and it is ever increasing. God help us all.

    this event was advertise since last year october and the people of dominica made no issues about it. the problem is that we as dominican’s cant set our own trend and therfore we have to follow others trend. i am not a fan of his music and therfore i will not go to the event. but it is the people’s right to do as they please and thefore if they want or want not to go to the concert then it is up to them. there is evil existing among us everyday we worship, eat and laugh with them, so why dont we rally against them and their wicked act.

    I Fully agree to having this artist call Tommy Lee
    Banned from having a gig in Dominica..

    The music lacks any sort of guidance, it’s pretty Much a hustling layout…

    Promotes the want it “NOW” concept, which surely The Youngsters aren’t able to deal with..it’s a Energy Charged Hyped up sentimental.

    When combined with liquor orientated Substances You can imagine the rage of venom Entering these rather tender, naive and innocent Minds….

      It will follow them home too. This has happened to some people right here in Toronto. One was at her door with chains and shackles clanging. It followed her home. I heard her tell her story on a religious program on TV.
      People do not mess around with those who worship the evil one, are devoted to him, who bear his name, sing about him and spew violence in their lyrics. He is placing a curse on those who rub shoulders with him. Know that the evil one wants to conquer the world. He has promised everything to those who worship him.
      That man is a bad egg! Evil in itself! I reiterate, keep him out of Dominica!
      Let God arise! Let his enemies scatter. Let them that hate him flee from his face. As wax is melted so the wicked will perish in the eternal fire.
