Me thinks the Bishop doth protest too much!

me thinks the bishop actually thinks people care about what he says?????

Churches that own land, pay out salaries and have bank accounts are running a business not a ministry. Jesus owned nothing and never opened a bank account in his life and yet these people claim to follow his teachings. As I recall Jesus overturned the stalls of those in the temple who dealt with money. After webshop gambling houses, churches are the most profitable business in the Commonwealth. Tax them like every other business and remove their duty free status. We do have some genuine religious leaders professing the faith and living lives of service but they are in the minority.

Exactly which orifice do you speak this time? Are you referring to Jesus here while condemning his teachings on capital punishment in another story blog?

Churches' are 100% as guilty as **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder and former FNM administrations for the 50-year destruction of our country and decimation of our people!

These churches were totally, absolutely and suspiciously silent while successive administration raped the people and country.

Please carry on PM Dr. Hubert Minnis!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to agree with SP. Only time these Churches made noise was against women's rights, anything on homosexuality and that's about it. TAX them to pieces if they don't comply.

First we have the outrageously entitled PLP fools ........ now we have the outrageously entitled Pharisees and Saducees ................. We need to see what the 4,000 churches are hiding while begging for tithes and offerings every day

WHO is KNOWN as facilitators of illegal Haitian migration? A forensic investigation of churches involvement in illegal migration is absolutely warranted!

If they had nothing to hide, they would have nothing to fear.

**PLEASE** carry on PM Dr. Hubert Minnis!!!!!

Comrades! You think the red shirts cabinet will give a pass on a certain "NPO?"

Which one that is? And if ya being funny. . .Nil Per Os. . .is "not by mouth" . . .the last time the reporters keep asking the man the same question when he got pissed and asked them if they can't understand English aye? So now they asked him the same questions over and over again even though he said "no. . .he did not call me or talk to me". . .in English. . .the reporter asked again if DPM Davis talked to him. . .so the doc said "no. . .Nil Per Os". . no" . . .in Latin!! In other words. . ."no. . .not by mouth. . .no"!

Comrades! PM Minnis, been Bushed!

Rt. Honourable Prime Minister Minnis - read my "no. . .Nil Per Os". . no" lips.

#NEW Bahamas Christian Council President Delton Fernander said the government has crossed the line by demanding that churches produce their financial records in 14 days to comply with non-profit organisation (NPO) regulations.

Fernander.......you claim the government has crossed the line because they've asked for your financial records?? How so?? What makes you different than any other profit or non profit organization in most civilized countries that have to produce financial records. Why shouldn't you have to produce these records? Because you're a church and the house of the Lord. So what?? Newsflash......the jig is up.......if you have nothing to hide, then it shouldn't matter. It's a new day brother Fernander.......it's called accountability! Step up!

No more driving around in new Merc's or BMW's (or Bentleys) without being able to show where that Church money is going.

Time for some of these for profit churches to pay some tax and suffer like the rest of us. You gone learn today!

a BUNCH OF PASTORS MAKING A STAND WITH YOU??? A bunch of dumbasses that have it handed to them on a silver plate for so long they don't know any other way? A bunch of child molesters? Whichever you "ALL" are when you stand together please all leave together??

.....ML/TF Regulations.....??

The problem is these non-profits don't want to show their millions in profits each year. This council is so last century and needs to be disbanded!

Churches should publish all their financial records and pay VAT.

On the other hand I do agree with Fernandor when he suggests all pastors should go to jail.

Will the Lodges (that most MPs, Senators and their friends, families and lovers belong to) be financially audited by the RGD as well??????

SHUT UP AND BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE! It seems like The Bahamas is not short of the 'Gangsterism' mentality in every sector theses past few years. Many of you DESERVE to be permanently in a prison ministry unless your church is located in international waters, this is quite LEGAL! Churches have been meddling in politics, corruptly swaying sheep to vote for their masters who privately grease their pockets, if they steal money from the church bring them before the courts too! I'm really starting to love the refreshing breeze trickling through our Bahamaland. It's amazing how some of these so call religious leaders, spew rabid colonialist doctrine from the pulpit seven days a week, telling uneducated, poor and vulnerable Bahamian citizens who to do, who to vote for, how to live, binding individuals to a legally binding contract for a lifetime, when that contract fails, the walk away from it now it's in the hands of our courts, someone PAID by taxpayers, however, don't feel the need to comply with the financial governance of our country?? Sir, listen, when you see Mr(s) Paddy (ex BCC) later tonight during yall secret rendezvous, ask him about how 'Pastor' Eddie Loooog use to do it. NOW... IT'S TIME FOR YALL TO GET YALL HOUSE IN ORDER!!! OR ELSE PUCKER UP PADDY. (well, prison may be a blessing in disguise /from 'THE SKIES' after all)
