The only thing he missed was how Smith used the Covid vaccine as mark of the beast to kill these people when it was really an insurance scam.

1. Oh my goodness!

That last line made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up - "stand by for the next Kevin Smith". And that is the scary part, there is always a next one.

2. does anyone have a good recipe for dumplin' an' mack'rel gravy?

or maybe i should substitute loaves and fishes at my next ark party?

[malaise]

3. You really don't want it

Disgusting boiled dumplings made of mostly flour and water and even more disgusting canned mackerel in tomato sauce. Looks like his excellency was only serving the sauce - he'd have to chop my neck before I'd eat that

6. i wonder how long until trump demands human sacrifice

i'm sure his cult member would gladly allow him to screw their wives and daughters, but i wonder if human sacrifice would be too far?

4. Died in a car wreck on the way to Kingston?

That adds another element of conspiracy. Too bad cops didn't take the toll road, do even cops
have to pay? Of course, his death means no trial necessary. What a very bizarre story about a very
bizarre cult. Yet here in the US, the trump cult members number in the millions. The world is a
dangerous place.

8. Ding ding re the toll road

5. Blecch . . . .

The Jamaica Council of Churches now says: “We denounce and condemn all forms of religious practices which exploit and endanger persons and expose them to harm or distress.” Before the bloodshed, they said nothing about the obvious danger signals.

Uh, OK . . . .

11. I want to know when all this talk about demons started

Locally, I first heard students who were in evangelical churches chatting this crap back in the 1980s.

7. Death was too easy for this scoundrel

I hope there are some resources to de-cult some of these folks saying he’s not dead. The evangelical response highlights the problem. Assigning responsibility to demonic forces instead of personal accountability to the criminal.

[malaise]

12. Don't hold your breath

and I agree with you 100% re personal responsibility - nothing is ever his/her or their fault.

9. Thank you for a more local report . Yes those people who chose to watch the sacrifices WTH

But those people who chose to watch the sacrifices and participate that day and live on the floor eating mackerel gravy for a month didn’t get there from nowhere

He did a lot to test them and knew he had a hold on them by that day (and their $)
I agree with the editorial watch for the next one like Smith to pop up since so many have been primed
From link
“One Jamaican who describes himself as a “recovering Pentecostal” sees churches like Smith’s as a natural product of the “hysterical preaching” he was raised with, of the constant talk of demons, of the blind loyalty and outright ban on critical thinking.”

10. The most important thing these scoundrels start out with is

that foreign accent and perfect English - he lived in Canada for a long time - was sent to prison there and deported to Jamaica after serving time.

13. Just imagine what witnessing this madness did to the children in that

so called congregation

[Maru Kitteh]

14. "Rwanda's government has closed around 8,000 churches. . . . "

" . . . . Pastors must have an accredited theological decree and declare their source of funds. Buildings must comply with noise and hygiene standards."

Probably the most sensible thing I'll read all day.

15. +1,000

The minute that was raised, I heard one of them on radio bawling about separation of church and state.

16. The next cult mass murder is the Rod of Iron church in Pennsylvania.

17. Thanks for this link

Is this the Moonie one with the AR15s?

[sarcasmo]

18. Yes, creepy A/F.

[malaise]

19. That will be a bloodbath

Damn
