Carnel D. Clyne fires back; Calls Rev Turnbull a ‘Liar’
Reverend Turnbull—speaking on a fight to have Gospel Fest included into VIF&FC line-up—had told Host Cromwell Smith aka 'Edju En Ka', that the Heritage committee was fighting for recognition for the Christian festival, “if some folks had it their way, we would be out. There will probably be no religious celebration,” he said.
Unbothered – Mr Clyne
Mr Clyne; speaking exclusively to Virgin Islands News Online (VINO), has lashed back, telling this news website, “I ain't going back and forth with Pastor Mel lying @$$."
While Reverend Turnbull, the Chairman of the Virgin Islands Heritage Committee, did not single out the VIF&FC Chairman, Mr Clyne, as one who was fighting down his committee, Mr Clyne noted that “My heart [is] clean and pure,” and said he was unbothered by any comments made regarding the role of the VIF&FC in Mr Turnbull’s plight.
“We have centralised doing everything through one account… It’s not what he is accustom to so we meet a little resistance,” Mr Clyne told our newsroom.
Moving Forward
According to the Chairman, “We moving forward” regardless of everything and noted that Reverend Turnbull is “Now cooperating because there is nothing he can do to change it,” Mr Clyne charged.
When questioned on whether Gospel Fest 2019 was included in the VIF&FC line-up, the Chairman confirmed that it is; however, the full line-up is yet to be released.
“The line-up that we launched was just an entertainment line-up, we will launch a full line-up,” he said and promised to include more of the 2019 scheduled events.
Mr Turnbull had complained that while the territory has seen changes since new reforms, it is not coming as quickly and as much as he would like.

As the old people them would say: Boy, you smelling your pi$$.
He need to humble heself. Festival don't belong to you. It belongs to the people, the booth owners, the local entertainers, vendors etc. You should be in the background quiet. It isn't about you Carnel!
Yet another mistake Honourable Premier has made.
All of us are men and women of God. This title given to many wolves in sheep clothing. There’s been a few who act all mighty, full themselves as better than all else and in actuality doing worse than the atheist. We all pray and seek Gods blessings. If he is a liard then he should be called out as one. Those so called men of the cloth will use their position to destroy people no different from the ordinary people.
Okay, my jaw dropped at this part. You don’t have to agree in what was said but how about being a little more mature and respectful in your response.
UNPROFESSIONAL AND BOASTFUL!!!! Doesn’t care about no one but making himself look good!!!!! I hope the people remember his lying @$$ in the next 4 years!!!!!!
What is one of the many things God brought you out of that are not ashamed to make a joyful noise giving thanks.
Months of expenses and planning and outfits for:
Poker Run - PACKED
Lobster Fest - PACKED
Destra - PACKED
Horse Race - PACKED
BUJU - PACKED
Gospel Fest is Free Entry. Forget the church flow. It looks foolish posting attire and not sharing the message received with others. Is that what church has come to...for social media likes?
Let's get it together man....Bring a friend, let them bring a friend, and fill the place with wholesome dancing, singing, and worshipping.
If you could fly to Miami carnival, St. Kitts Music Fest, Labour Day Weekend, etc. let's celebrate being completely emancipated from the prisons we still live in today within our minds.
So the pastor did not lie. Carnel is who bending the truth.
People are resisting change in VIFFC because they are no longer handed out money in a lump sum to do what they want, it’s a problem. From this story it’s all about calling the pastor a liar and many of us haven’t noticed the part about centralizing festival spending for accountability and transparency and the resistance from members.
Mr. Cline’s choice of words are, no doubt, inappropriate, but the accountability factor is right on Target. The decision to take the money out of this “all mighty man’s hands to spend at will..., is the right decision for all the VI people. Keep in mind, another few votes, if a few more of Mitch’s family and friends had missed the plane, Mr. Cline would have likely had Hon. before his name at this time. You must agree, after he receiving almost half of the District’s votes, he has a lot to be proud of...and will continue to mature with time. Besides, not many persons know the related “inside family politics”.
Fellow Christians, let’s spend more time “pulling up”, rather than “kicking down”, those whom we deem “unsuitable”.
The Lord truly wishes to Bless our people; much more than we can imagine. Pastor Turnbull, as an acknowledged spiritual leader in our community, it’s important to humble yourself before the Lord. It’s really not always all about YOU and YOURS.. There is an crucial practicality, referred to as: “walking the talk.”
