    FEARLESS LAWYER

  • Atugabiig 10 years ago

    He is not fearless but confused. He never gave one reason why pastors are to be blamed for divorces in marital homes.
    Pastors work hard to stop many divorces by using the Scriptures to discourage it. Divorce is on the increa ...

    He is absolutely right,you seem to be one of them.

    Delete all Religions from earth. Religion is the cause of all evil: Crusades and Jihads have soaked the earth with enough blood of innocent victims. Religion must be abolished. Hypocrites.

    Where is Ghana on your league table? Our country is infested with self-appointed so-called men of God who require a congregation to survive. Their main objective therefore is to control people's lives. When they enter into yo ...

    Stupid analysis

  • baba tunde 10 years ago

    Where did Duncan Williams go to save his marriage, and Pastor Chris too? Pastors cannot save any marriage, pure and simple. Try separation for 6months. It works like magic.

    Wow! It's hard to believe the legal system is actually speaking against all the fake religions implicated on the people of Ghana. And it is true t an extent, but he should also speak against the corrupt legal system's enforce ...

    You're right in your observation about religion in GH. That's why JDM and all sorts of politicians take to pulpit to exploit that gullibility of people.

    Patriot, this is no joke. These so-called men of God are setting our nation back. God does everything for you and grants your "break through". The devil incarnate is he who dares to criticize their belief, their ranting and r ...
