  1. if an elder can have sex with his biological daughter, he can surely jump bail and even run away. i can not be a surety for this young boy.

  2. Any church that makes a person an elder @ only 24 is surely a sick joke too!
    Beware of hyenas in goat’s skins, poised to prey on the poor, desperate & vulnerable.
    Only Jah knows what lies in store for him in the near future…
