Dear Pastor,
I have something to let you and all of Jamaica know about a certain pastor from Kingston, Jamaica. He has a church and is always running crusade all over the island. Last February to be exact after briefly courting my mother and asking her to marry him, he came here for the nuptials in February and was also in a rush to get married when my mother asked him to wait until the summer as it was freezing here in New York in February. He couldn't wait.
This man is a creep, a horrible person who only lives to sell the gospel and is not concerned about saving souls. He is mean spirited in every way and verbally abusive. I don't even know why my mother married him in the first place because he was a huge down grade from her previous husband who has been dead for 10 years.
This man got married for several reasons and none of these reasons included love, respect or an ounce of honesty. He wanted a show piece for a big anniversary that took place in March-April and demanded my mother to come. She went and he did not finance the trip in any way. When my mother arrived at his home in St. Andrew, his previous wife's clothes were still packed away in the dresser draw. Here's the clincher, she never even lived in that house. How sick is that. He was verbally rude, abusive, cold and downright nasty. He had no grocery in his house and before my mother married him, he declared he was financially stable and could take care of a wife.
Spews profanity
For a marriage counsellor, preacher, teacher and whatever else he claims to be, he does not know the word love. He spews profanity from his lips and I am letting you know he also indulges in pornography. After my mother wasted her time to come to Jamaica and stand by his side, he advised my mother that she embarrassed him. In what way did she embarrass him? I cannot tell you as my mother is a well mannered woman who carries herself well. She dresses impeccably and tastefully. She also has been a christian for almost 30 years and does not indulge in any of these things he does and was greatly disturbed by his behavior to the point where she has been sick for the past three weeks since returning and this is because of the stress of this ungodly union.
I gather that he entered this marriage looking for a widow from the States dowry, not realising that she has five grown kids and we are very protective of our mother. She did not need him before the marriage, but we all told her that if he makes her happy (whatever!) we will still love her. All he can tell her is that he has a $40,000 mortgage to pay and school fee to pay for his son in UWI and he doesn't have any money as if my mother doesn't have her own mortgage and bills also. Who in God's green land he thinks he is, and how he has to run crusades to pay his bills. He is selling the Gospel and treating my mother like she is a common whore by telling her he's done with her because she embarrassed him.
Nasty little man
I am just writing this to put a whole lot of other women on their guard as he is a nasty little man who is abusing the word of God for gain and should not be preaching not even to a wild animal. He will be served shortly with annulment papers and will be reported to the American and the Jamaican Embassies. This little creep will not even answer his phone and he better not let my three brothers who are all over six feet tall, my sister and myself come to Jamaica because it will not be very nice.
At first I told my mother just get out quietly as God says vengeance is mine, however, this little man has no manners or decency and he already messed up his first wife as rumour has it. This time he will not mess up my mother as she doesn't need him. As a matter of fact, he needed her to finance his life and thank God she found out everything. Yes, she married him, but it was under false pretences and nothing lost.
God bless you and keep you, pastor.

Dear T. B.,
I wonder what is the other side to this story. You are alleging that this preacher who married your mother is a liar and cannot be trusted. The man is a well known evangelist. She did not know him for long. Why were they in such a hurry to get married? According to you, he was the one pushing the marriage. Anything is likely to happen when two people who do not know each other for long, get married.
May I suggest that your mother seek the help of an attorney-at-law. I am sure you understand why I deleted the name of the preacher.
Pastor
