    Until Dcans come to the realization that God is unhappy with what is going on in that country we will continue to suffer “collective punishment” in various forms. When you have a population that is hell bent on ignoring the EVILS going on among us in HIGH places and men of the cloth turning a blind eye, even praising and worshipping those partaking in devilish practices then Ma Dominique will continue to suffer the consequences collectively. Sadly, its usually the innocent that are taken as human sacrifices when its payment time. Yes I said it…. :twisted:

    I remember Billy Sanderson writing a piece about evil practices in Dca and we laughed. Well, we must now admit he was right all long. Now its Billy’ turn to laugh because we can’t seem to shake off the bad omen from Dca. People dying like flies being sprayed with BAYGON. Yes I said it…. :twisted:

    Assertive like Hurricane Maria! :twisted:

      What idiotic chatter. Guess that is reason why earlier today an explosive device was detonated in the ‘holy’ city of New York in the ‘holy’ country of the USA that so many of the likes of you are craving to enter

      Shameless If that is what you want to believe then that is your decision. It is appointment that man must die so why Dominicans believe that every time someone dies then it is a curse or something that is wrong. We were not meant to live forever.
      There is nothing going on in Dominica except life is occurring. Is it OK that other cultures get to experience death and Dominicans do not.
      Maybe Dominicans need to focus on being kind to themselves, their neighbors and their community. Help those in need. Travel and look at life from a different lens, be open minded, love without boundaries, respect others even when you think they do not deserve your respect and smile more, because no matter what we were born to live and once to die

    Oh my God, Oh my God, oh My God! Another sad day and another sad story in Dominica. We just don’t seem to be able to enjoy a good week in Dominica. Like it or not but Da is a very scary place to live in these days. Back then Da was the place to be in if one wanted to leave long but since these guys came into power the country is under serious attack as if we are under the wrath instead of under the Blessing. Lord help us please! I don’t if they had to invoke the dead or evil spirits to get the protection they needed, but no doubt we are under the curse. The report did not say he is dead so I will not extend sympathy. All I will say is strength and courage to family and friends
