Local pastor Randy Rodney is concerned that men who really need guidance and counseling for violent behavior do not feel the need for it.
At a panel discussion on violence held earlier this week , Rodney said that such sessions are not attended by the intended target group.
“I know I’m gonna get some flack for that but I’m gonna say it anyway. Our society is sick in the core to the point that the people who really need the training don’t get it. And they don’t get it not because it is not made available to them, they don’t get it because they think it’s not for them. So that when you have sections where you train men for example, you look for the men and they’re aren’t there,” he stated.
“Where you have sessions where you train parent, you look for the parents and they are not there. So the target group that you would like to address on issues like this you are never able to get around to them,” he stated.
THEM ARE HYPOCRITE….
Look who’s talking. Practice wat u preach and try to help yourself first before u help ppl. Be the example for others. Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuups.
Why should young men come take counsel from pastor ROD when you he himself is no example. Such people like him need counsel first followed by others like him. MORDARAR…..
well hear who is speaking……….
I beg to defer. There are many “real men” in Dominica….So don’t believe the HYPE
pastor rodney is exactly the right person to talk. chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupes.
They wont go to any of these meetings, because they dont think that they have a problem.
It is to easy for them to blame society/back ground/financial situation on the way they behave.
Again the relevant groups are not doing their jobs. Anyone can organise a meeting, and talk nonstop (it gives them an air of authority). They should be out in the various communities
meeting with the very people they claim to want to help. Targeting the more problematic areas, listerning to what is being said. These meetings should be held in village halls, churches etc.
They should also remember that a percentage of these persons are what is termed as middle income/respectable persons and these are likely to be the most difficult group to admit to any faults.
All it takes is one group to change tactics, and the others will follow.
make no dame sence for real what is he saying
I am not sure either!
No wonder is a parrot that is on our flag. All we do is talk, talk, and talk some more.
Lol, dats funny n make sense (figurative).But still its our national bird.
All talk no action again and again. Blah blah blah, blah blab blab blah.
i totally agree
we all think that the ones who need it the most are the drughaddicts and criminals on the street. how did they become that way in the first place. what was their home like
we also tend to think tht the homes thAt are in need of it are only the homes where the single mother is a prostitute or the father is a drunk.
it is a fact tat violence and abuse happen at an equal rate in christain homes and middle income homes, the ones in which both parents are aroUnd.THE SO CALLED GOOD HOMES.
newsflash, the columbine SHOOTERS and most of the school shooters came from so call GOOD HOMES.
stop waiting for people to come to u all,,,,be pro-active,,,ya’ll know which places that violence is prevalent go out n reach them,,,,have open air meetings in communities which are drug ridden n filled with violence,,,,when one has negative ideals u expect them to come to u just like that,,,,,cmon go n seek the lost sheeps,,,,now mr pastor how come u all haven’t come out n speak on behalf of the people regarding recent happenings within our gov’t,,,,,all ministers seem to have gone sycho with mad cow disease and u all sitting by the wayside watching all these things unravel shame shame shame,,,,,’how long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside n look”
