Jesus would forgive and restore if the person genuinely repented. I'm sure you have heard the saying, "The gift and the calling of God are without repentance." I don't think God takes away our gifts and calling when we sin so in this case, I don't find it fair to judge. God is the one that he said called him into ministry and gave him the gift to preach his gospel. Further, noone knows if he has repented and what his relationship is with his master. If his congregants are prepared to accept him, again, who are we to judge?

I agree proudloud. Although I don't think the PLP's want HAI back its mostly the die-hard FNM's (you just need to check out the no spin zone on Facebook if you don't believe me) who can't face the music and accept that his time is up. Good leader but time for a change. And I also agree that if they run a bandit in the next election, that bandit will win if the present trend continues with this bunch!

I agree. Minnis is obviously a leader of a different kind and in my opinion the face of the new FNM and a welcome change. HAI did not pen these lines - some deluded fool did who cannot accept that HAi is OVER. This is a new era which Bahamians will likely welcome after this bunch is through screwing up our country - that is if we have a country in 4 years!

I agree. Although I believe internal forces (i.e the Min. of Foreign Affairs) has a strong hand in this as he is always quick to defend the PM and is the strongest advocate for this nonesense.!

You are right. Bold they are. They are not every trying to hide it. More's the pity that we have to endure this for another 4+ years. Think we will actually have a country left?

I very much enjoy reading your articles Ms. Turner. Continue the good work. You give your readers much food for thought and frankly, your thesis statement, "... the crime we hate will continue, because the crimes we love will continue" pretty much sums up the whole matter.

Fox Hill would know, aye? By all accounts, he spends his allowance (inter alia) to see other Parliaments. Nevertheless, the money can be used for other things: police force, supreme courts, etc. This Government is way off helping the people... it appears to be more about helping themselves.

The Government can amend the Gaming and Lotteries Act to put a final stop to ALL gambling so that there would be no question - no loopholes. That was the solution to our voting NO. In my mind they are without excuse. The court action is a co-op not to do anything and let the matter be swept under the carpet and drag on for a few more years (as most court actions do) despite the majority of Bahamian people who voted clearing voting NO! I

Oh what a tangled web we weave..... I trust that Mr. Cargill will just his due reward and the chips will fall where they may.

I fully agree with this article. Every MP on the PLP side seems to have gotten a job outside of their MP status including the MP for North Abaco whom the PM created a new position for. This Government has not exercised any fiscal restraint since day one and the saga continues with no end in sight. What makes it worse is no matter how much the Opposition and others complain, there is no sign of them letting up. I guess they know they are "in" and nobody can do anything about it. Moody's threatened downgrade obviously does not move them. I wonder if we will have a country at the end of their term.
