'Policeman' took off with my passport

Dear Pastor,

I met a man last year and he told me that he is a policeman, and that he could help me to go overseas. He took my birth certificate, two passport size pictures and $2500 from me. He said he would get my passport and a visa for me because he has friends working at the passport office and also at the Embassy.

He took me to the passport office and I filled out the form and they said I can have the passport back in one week. He called and told my fiancé that he got the passport, and that he was taking it to the Embassy to put the visa in it. We were to leave on October 23, 2000. The time passed and I did not hear from him. He called again in November and said that he was in an accident and his arm is broken.

I have not heard from him, neither have I seen him again. My fiancé told me not to trust him, but I did not listen. So I am asking you to try and find out whether a passport or visa was issued to me in 2000.

My problem is that I cannot go anywhere because I have a young baby so I am begging you to help me. This guy had planned to take my girlfriend and me to Canada. I think that the reason why he was not interested anymore was because he wanted me to sleep with him and I refused. He also offered me $100,000, but I still refused.

Please, pastor, try and see if you can help me. I do not have a telephone, but there is a number that you can call and leave a message. The name of the police is ...... He works at .....

W.B., Kingston

Dear W.B.,

You do not have a telephone at your convenience, but you can write. You have written to me and I am now suggesting that you write to The Complaints Department, 34 Duke Street, Kingston. If you prefer, you may write directly to the Commissioner of Police, 101 Old Hope Road, Kingston 6. Do not be afraid to state in your letter what you have told me.

You have given me the policeman's name and where he is purported to work. I cannot investigate this matter, neither am I prepared to seek to find out whether you were issued a passport or a visa. You have alleged that this policeman took money from you. Well, you should do your best to find out where he is and what has happened to your passport.

I am sure that the Immigration Department would be able to tell you whether or not you were issued with a passport. They are now at a new location. The address is 25 Constant Spring Road, Kingston 10.

Take care of your baby. Be very careful in everything you do. Try to do everything above board. I am sure you know what I mean.

He is a dirty man - pastor

Dear Pastor,

I see where you have helped other people. I have a very serious problem. My heart is torn apart. I am 42-years-old and I have children for three different fathers. I am living with one of the fathers. He used to be a very nice man but now he is treating me badly. He does not take me out. He has a good trade but he does not support his children.

His relatives do not like me. They say I am too black for their son. That does not bother me. They say my children are "jackets". None of my children resemble me. They are the dead image of them. I am not ugly and my children are very cute. Everywhere I go, people beg me for one of them. I am not giving away any one of them. Sometimes we have to go to bed hungry, but the grace of God keeps us.

One night my man wanted to have sex with my eldest daughter. He promised to give her $2000. She told me about it. I asked him to leave my house but he does not want to leave. All my children hate him, not to mention me. I stopped having sex with him from my daughter told me he wanted to have sex with her. I feel like I would kill him but I know I will be sent to prison. I love them very much and they love me.

I am stressed out. I went to the doctor this week because he gave me some blows all over my body just because I went to my friend's wake and someone told him that they saw a man hugging me up and taking me to his house three o'clock in the morning. He went to the man's gate from that time and stayed there until midday watching for me to come out of the house. When he did not see me he came home. When he got home he saw me cooking. That is the time he beat me. I went to the police station, so we are going to go to court.

I am going to ask the judge to ask the police to move him out of my house. I don't want any man who is having sex with me to have sex with my daughter. He is a 'johncrow.' We have a five-year old daughter together and I will not leave her with him. I do not respect him anymore and I do not love him anymore.

I would love to meet you in person. Please pray for me. When this man leaves my house, the only man I want to live with is Jesus Christ. Take good care of yourself and keep up your good work.

Stressed out, St. Andrew

Dear Stressed Out,

I wouldn't tell you to continue the relationship with this man. He is a dirty man. You are a wise woman. You believed your daughter. Very often, mothers tell their daughters that they are lying on these men. So the girls suffer in silence.

When you go before the court, speak freely. Talk the truth and you will receive justice. If this man had any shame at all, he would have left the house already.

Mind your own business - pastor

Dear Pastor,

Greetings to you in the name of Jesus. I know a man from Portland. After he lost his job he bought a vehicle and he started a business.

The business grew, but his wife started to treat him badly and began to keep a lot of men with him. Even one of my brothers was along with her. She told my brother that the business place belongs to her. I told my brother that she was not speaking the truth.

This woman never used to work. It is her husband who bought this land and house. This woman left her husband and went out of the country with a man. And when she returned she tried to run her husband out of his own place.

If you were to see that man on the road, you would be sorry for him. The half has never been told. May God change her wicked ways.

N.W., Portland

Dear N.W.,

You must watch your mouth. It will get you into trouble. It seems to me that you do not like this woman. You do not know what is really happening between this man and his wife. So learn to keep out of people's business. You talk as a person who is in love with the man.

Why do you feel that the woman is having an intimate relationship with all the men who are her friends? Stop chatting the woman. Please mind your own business.

Pastor
