“It’s true that you can never really know
someone by watching them from afar; you need to get close. This was the case of
one of the very active guys in my church.
Since I joined the congregation of my parish,
I’ve admired this man as he’s passionate about working for the lord which is
not too common with men. He’s on every committee, serves in different
capacities in the church and is everywhere, doing everything. Anytime he stands
up to lead us in prayers, you cannot help but be moved by his deep knowledge of
the bible and how powerful his prayers always are. But recently, I heard
something about him that shocked me to the core.
The man I admired so much as a spirit filled
child of God is a terrorist in his home. He beats up his wife often, terrorizes
her emotionally and is simply the man in every woman’s nightmare. He’s also that ‘nightmarish’ landlord we all
hear about and his tenants despise him. I didn’t want to believe this story but
the source was authentic – their close family friend and neighbor. She said
even with her knowledge of the truth about him, it remained difficult to reconcile
the man we all see him to be in church and the man she knows him to be at
home.
Now, anytime I see him hurrying around the church
premises on some committee assignment or the other, I find it hard not to stare.”

the world is full of people fooling themselves. sad thing is they think they're fooling others.
judge not, lest you be judged. (hope i got that quote right). my point is how sure r u abt the source of ur gist? it culd prolly be some rumour monger out to smear the good man's name.
Church gossipers, at least he is a terror in what belongs to him. Not after peoples propoerties and wives like some people I know.
Maybe the demons making him commit such bad acts is what motivates his spiritual journey. If that's the case, hope he conquers by God's grace
The wife has not complained. As a christian she will know that she can complain to the elders of the church, instead what we have are people who are no better complaining. As for the tenants, please look for accommodation elsewhere. Try another landlord.
The wife should report him to God through the church if the man is actually doing evil as being speculated or is demon possessed as somebody insinuated. The tenants can find alternative accommodation. This man should be left alone to serve God in hus way.
it takes courage to take your family problems outside especially when you're well known. that can be why the woman has not told anyone in their church yet. this is a case of 'e get as e be' cos even those so called elders have spouses and once someone knows, somehow, the story will reach some other ears. and people will start looking at you funny. am not saying this is the case but a lot of times, thats what happens cos people start thinking of their public image. She needs to do something though if she's suffering like this.
I put it to all of you that this woman loves the beating/molestation. That's why she married him in the first place. The tenants don't figure here at all for me.

Anon 23.42. What is name and public image when one is genuinely in danger? The church is there to solve these problems. Meanwhile if the idea of keeping quiet is to avoid side talks, the 'gossip' is already travelling arounnd.
The woman loves the beating and molestation????? Hah! U av a warped sense of humor. She should report this man to churcjh and let others shame him into changing. Which yeye prayer warrior is he? Mscheeeewww!!
In fact, he's lucky am not the wife cos I will use otapiapia to bring him to order. This type of man, am sure he can't fight his mates outside.
Anon 3.33. If you are this woman you will not use otapiapia because the man would have killed you since. I know your type.Luck gives you innocent and good men. Anyway this woman has not complained, busy people are just nosing around affairs that doesn't concern them.
What God has joined together let no violence or gossip put asunder.
