Dear Pastor,

I got the impression, from your response to A.M. from the USA, that you were placed on the defensive. However, I feel that I must say this to you. You recently advised a Jamaican man living in New York to give his wife lots of sex, rest, and then give her more, until she begged him to stop. I think that was a dangerous advice to give a man.

You have to be careful what you say because people will interpret it differently and their interpretation of what was said could possibly lead to violence against women. We don't want to take unnecessary chances. For that reason, I think you should consider retracting your statement, especially in view of the crime situation that now exists against women and children in Jamaica. That's just my opinion.

D.S.

Dear D.S.,

When a person disagrees with me, he/she should mention what was written to me that caused my response. Therefore, you should not just say that I said so and so. What caused me to respond that way? And anyone reading your letter today would feel that I said the most dangerous thing, and that my response would instigate violence. I did no such thing. Therefore, I make no apology for what I said. Never pick out a sentence or two from anything I have said to condemn me. That is not fair criticism. Always state the facts, otherwise you are being dishonest and troublesome.

Pastor
