wants no mercy for child killers
By
Simone
Morgan-Lindo August 28, 2018
The rules of Exodus 21:24 is what should
be applied to the killer(s) of Yetanya 'Princess' Francis, according to one
Seventh-day Adventist evangelist.
A visibly upset John F Martin said that
the 'eye for an eye' scripture should apply, as he believes that unless the
ruthless killers get a dose of their own medicine, the crime rate will not
decline.
"Even Garnet Silk said in
one of his songs that no mercy should be given to the merciless. If me can't
live comfortable in my house, you can't live comfortable in your house
either," he
said.
Francis' partially burnt body was found
last Friday morning after she went missing last Thursday night. It is said that
she left home to purchase food at a nearby cookshop and did not return. Her
body was found behind a church in a section of the Arnett Gardens community in
Kingston. It is also believed that she may have been sexually assaulted.
The clergyman also blasted some of the
women from the south St Andrew community.
"I remember when another
child was killed in her home and another woman come out and speak against the
family, saying that they were telling lies on the man dem, and see this
incident just prove that it wasn't a lie. All of these women who sit down in
Arnett and do nothing will all be punished for what happen to this little girl.
These killers are some of them men or sons or just friends," he said.

DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY
Martin, who spent his earlier years in
Arnett Gardens, said that he didn't understand why his mother handed over the
keys to her home to another female resident and relocated to a one-bedroom
house in another Kingston community during the 1970s.
"When she got the keys to
her house from National Housing Trust, she gave it to a woman and tell her take
it. It was 11 of us, and we asked her why and she just tell us to bite our lips
and we will eventually find out. Now I understand why. She was actually
protecting her girl children from incidents like this," he said.
The 54-year-old evangelist, who worships
at a Seventh-day Adventist church in Portmore, St Catherine, re-emphasised that
he is all about the 'eye for an eye' scripture.
The father of seven said that he often
wonders what could motivate a human to harm women and children.
"I am really hurt about
this killing,"
he said, while blaming the Government for the spiralling crime rate.
Martin said that while many will lash
out at his opinions, he is not bothered, and hoping that there will be some
form of divine intervention in the very near future.

calls child abusers mongrels
By
January 20, 2017
John Martin, an evangelist from the Gregory Park
Seventh-day Adventist Church in Gregory Park, St Catherine, said that the
dog-like living of many Christians in Jamaica has led to children being
sexually abused by church leaders.
He said this was prophesied in Philippians 3,
verses two and three, in which the Apostle Paul wrote the words: "Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those
mutilators of the flesh."
"He is referring to Christians in
our Church. He is not talking about the animal," Martin said.
"There are different types of dogs
in the Church: poodles, Doberman, mongrels and German shepherd."
He continued: "The
poodles are the stush people that don't talk to anybody; mongrels are the
leaders in our church who are abusing vulnerable children, and the German
shepherds are like me. Those members who seek to spread God's word without
contempt."
Martin explained that behaviour of mongrels are
causing persons to turn away from the Church.
"When we have incidents like the one
we are seeing now a shepherd that is supposed to be leading his sheep how can
the people have trust in the Church?" Martin asked.
He said that in order to rid the Church of
'mongrels', Christians in Jamaica need to pray more.
"We don't need demonstration to
get rid of this problem. We need prayer," Martin affirmed.
He said that prayers have caused child abusers to
be exposed, "and I believe more will be exposed because there are a lot of
mongrels in the Church."
