Don’t become political enemies! CSC ‘repents’ for role in divisiveness

Claude Skelton Cline

Controversial political commentator Pastor Claude Skelton Cline calls on the people of the territory to reject being political enemies and apologised for any role he might have played in the past in creating a culture of division. 

Speaking during the last airing of his show Honestly Speaking with Claude Skelton Cline, he framed his comments around the upcoming 2023 general elections where Virgin Islanders will go to the polls to select a new government. 

“I want us to make a covenant to make a commitment that we will not become political enemies of each other; that we will embrace diversity but we will reject division in any shape, form, or fashion. We as a people in this small community, we can no longer afford divisiveness, divisive spirit, [or] enemy behaviour towards each other,” Skelton Cline said. 

“We are too small a community. We are too close-knit, and most people are either family, friends, or close acquaintances and in this era, in this epoch where the world is just going crazy and there are so much division and so many groups with specific identities, so many people relegate themselves to their own corner of what is familiar and what is homogeneous—people who look like them, people who talk like them,” he added. 

Skelton Cline also encouraged everyone who has made the Virgin Islands their home, especially those who are deemed to belong here by birth or by tenure, to resist the temptations that might arise to become indifferent to each other because of the political season that will soon approach. 

“And I offer repentance for whatever contribution or role in the past because I may have contributed to that because I’m now also talking to myself, we must resist that. As a community of people, we must embrace diversity, but we must reject division in any shape, form or fashion because we’re going to need 13 well-abled, capable women and men… — [whether] they sit in the Opposition or in government — who are going to give their very best for the betterment for the advancement for the development of this country,” he said.

    Now you repent that you were a part of this wrecking of the BVI? Because the NDP did not renew your contract at the Ports you and your family destroyed it and caused Andrew Fahie to head the government. Look how that turned out for us. You don’t just get to say you repent and that is it. Sl**ande said he repented in church in Long Look and he is worse than before. You must be held accountable by the people for your BIG role in where we are.

    Skelton-Cline, why don’t you go and apologise to Miss Underhill.
    you allegedly scandalized her name during the election season by saying that she stole money from the Elmore Stoutt High School. If you want to repent go and apologise to her or make a public apology

    I am so happy that you have found that secret place and humble yourself to God and you have come to the public and repent. You have caused a great division amongst us. Both physically, spiritually and mentally. I have forgiven you because if anyone is without sin, faults cast the first stone. Leave politics alone and I knew this would have happen. As a man of the cloth all you were required to do is to pray for the leaders and our country.

    Go back to what you are good at. Start winning souls
    for God. Many on a weekly basic are dying without God. We cannot continue to let this happen. Let us get back to where God wants this beautiful island to be. People of the BVI , believe it or not we are in the last days. Perilous times are coming. Stop wasting your time on earthly things whether you are 6, 16, 25, 36, 46 , 55. One day you have to answer to Jehovah.

    Thank you, Jesus for answering prayers. May the blood of Jesus cover you and family and the BVI. Jesus continue to break the shackles from over the BVI.

    If CSK is truly repentant, then he should serve his penance in perpetual silence, preferably far away.
