@I agree but disagree.
You have a valid point is some of what you said in your comments. However, should your church not be preaching love, peace and unity. Why is it this man Tweed is allowed to preach his hatred and divisiveness in the streets and in your church. Alter all, he is your church pastor and we as a community feel you should be the ones that put a leash on him. Blame yourselves not the community for feeling this man is getting away with his behavior. We are not living in the fifties and he should not be acting as we are. Move forward as a people and come together as Bermudians and not as he would have it as individual races.

Okay you are going wayy too far. You are stereotyping all of St. Paul A.M.E’s congregation as the people who mix “politics with religion”, but i bet you havent stepped foot in our church to see for yourself if this stereotype is true or valid. Yes there is times where he does make mention of politics, i will agree wholeheartedly.. but this does not mean that the whole congregation approves of it. Lord knows that when Rev. Tweed preaches- really preaches- he does what is expected.. he delivers the word of God. As someone who enjoys St. Paul, simply because I enjoy wordshipping my God, i take offense to ignorance such as this. If you want to hate, hate. But do not stereotype a whole congregation . We are people, and God has made us all different, each of us having a mind of our own- respect that.

WOW ISLANDER. YOU ARE “RIGHT ON POINT” It would really be interesting to hear from the Presiding Elder and some of the Congregation HOPEFULLY with an HONEST REPLY, and be mature enough not to say ONE THING to Tweed and THE OPPOSITE behind his back. Forget the honorable “Bishop” THAT’S HIS CLOSE BUDDY

Ignore all the dislikes, this is a ber news hijack. Clear history, dislike again….

So many have this spot on though. The arrogance of this man…of this church…to assume they are above the law, and don’t need to go through proper procedures.

Comeuppance Mr Tweed!

May God be with you

Mr. Tweed. How do you really feel now that you have divided this country of ours. do you feel any less of a man because you feel privileged in that you have a certain group of people wanting to shut this country down to support your agenda. Should you not be preaching Gods word from the pulpit instead of storing up a hornets nest and dividing us as a people. Would you as a man of God not better serve this community by preaching peace instead of hatred. Seriously, your a first class s— disturber that will one day board a plan, go back to where you came from and leave us to clean up the mess you have started. Thank you and good night..

I can believe that a church is acting like this. Far from godly then fly over the moon. Ralph C you need to be quite please. This man should not be allowed to be in any political situation. Stay in the church and guide the people in a godly way Rev Tweed. Anyone else you would not give dame about. All you are doing is distroying this country with all the radical BS. Stay off the hill. There are lots of children here with parents that were born here and all you people wanted them to go to a country were they know nothing about. Now all of a sudden it’s different. Amazing what a bunch of Hypocrites. Make up your mind.

If his contract is up just like anyone else and it got denied see you later. Simple this is not an issue people, this goes for anyone i hope these same people feel the same way when someone outside Bermuda takes a job they know that themselves or another Bermudian can fill. Wake Up Bermy.

I think they’re praying to the PLP, BIU and to a lesser degree the AME.

I thought when a renewal work permit was rejected the holder had to immediately leave his place of employment and stay at home so as not to be seen working without permission.
That’s what happened to a friend of mine just recently. So why is Tweed standing in front of the congregation preaching? Come on Immigration, clamp down on this type of flagrant disrespect of the law.

Yea, what was it that happened when a foreign waiter made and / served someone a drink (without a work permit for being a bartender) at a private club? Can anyone help me remember what happened to him and why he isn’t here any more?

But yea Tweedle, carry on preachin’ cuz rules apparently don’t apply to all Expats the same.

Interesting…

The dislikes on my comment have spiked by over 100 in a very short period.

It’s as if the same person is clearing their browser history to dislike it multiple times.

Clearly somebody doesn’t have something else better to do today.

Stop trying to mislead the mass with your rhetoric ‘Swinger’
From the beginning the church stated that applying for a permit that was not a norm, therefore the past and present Governments were aware of this and the present is making Cassava out of it and the starved masses are eating it like its healthy.

St Paul’s does not represent the entire AME Membership and it is time Bishop and Presiding Elder to tell the AME Members as a Congregation exactly what is going on and I hope they are not trying to get things in order to reapply for the work permit. They know what he is, supposedly placed here to become next Presiding Elder. Seems to me that Mr. Tweed is an issue in a collar and I know that if my Mother was still alive, she would have gone straight to Presiding Elder and spoke her mind, hoping that she would see things spiritually. St. Paul’s get rid of him and replace it with truth, transparency, Wisdom and Godliness. Always remembering to put Jesus first and not one who would and is leading you up the blind path. Trust no one but Father God!

The fact that the AME Church may not have followed certain procedures is irrelevant. All the posts on this thread are anti-Tweed but you all are missing the point and are in the vast minority. The community in Bermuda right now is divided along racial lines in a very bad way. The majority of blacks in Bermuda do not trust the white OBA Government and the majority of blacks in Bermuda love Rev. Tweed as they loved his father, for the same reasons. They both stood up for the people. When Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested and put in jail it was lawful, but it caused such a huge outcry and protest because of what he stood for. Once again the OBA has demonstrated it’s lack of political intelligence and once again they will suffer the consequences.

Religon in any case does not do the crap Tweed & AME are doing. Polotics does not come into play. Work permit put in day before expiry. Rules are rules,get a grip AME followers along with the silly PLP. PLP covering up their problems. Furbert from BIU silent. Alarm bells ringing..

Mr. Tweed needs to realize that the congregation of St. Paul is not made up of PLP members only! Politics does not belong in the church! Period!!! No one wants to come to church to listen to his political trash! The church should be focused on saving lives!!

Does this mean that if he doesn’t get a work permit now, then there clearly isn’t a god and we can rid the world of all this hate fuelled mumbo jumbo? After all the Europeans used Religion to try to justify slavery and then they brainwashed their slaves with it.
