He needs to take a page out of former Minister Fitzgerald and former Director Sands' playbook. You can not entertain Belinda, she will take advantage of this situation. When you think she is working with you, she is working against you.
Just admit it. You all are afraid that the government will see how many churches mismanage and abuse funds. Thats not the purpose of this bill. This bill proposes to ensure that the funds you all mismanage are not as a result of ill gotten means!
I don't think the government cares what you do with your donations, it's concern is where you are getting it from! To all the pastors out there who love to abuse the gullible Bahamian flock, no need to worry, you will still be able to do so!
@joeblow, I agree with you and I am female. What is wrong with asking women and men to step into a place with no short shorts or hats or sleeveless tees etc? I am not sure how we got from that to a narrative on feminism.I would not want to stand in line behind someone who has half of him/herself exposed. It seems pretty simple to me, good ole decency. That's all it is!
Good point Doc! Growing up, we had so much respect for doctors, lawyers, bankers etc. Nowadays, that's a different story. People in those professions, especially doctors, always gave a little more because society gave them the respect and honor which came with their profession. I guess this is a new generation of professionals! We fund their education and they turn around and make demands of us. Time to cut the program Dr. Sands. If they want to ask for holiday pay and all of the other bonuses etc like everyone else, then it's time to make them pay for their own education.
@ Porcupine, I agree wholeheartedly with your statement: "The real challenge is how to change the majority of our populace into caring, considerate, well-read, motivated, hard-working, long-term thinking, voters. Send Jesus himself down to lead The Bahamas today, and he'd be right back up on the cross"......As a people, we are failing! Many of us are lazy, unmotivated, listen to hearsay and gossip and dislike change. How can we make progress as a nation with this mindset?
Not sure what the big fuss is about. If you leave your house to go to the Immigration Office, dress yourself properly. Why not present your best self if you are looking to live, work and reside in this country!
