EAST END, Tortola, VI- The highly anticipated Rise and Shine in East End on Tortola this morning, August 9, 2023, drew hundreds of revellers who gyrated their way to Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and some even daringly took a plunge off the bridge before reaching Long Bay beach on Beef Island.

The colourful procession was kept hyped along the way by local Deejays, at least one artiste and a local band that provided some three hours of entertainment through East End.

The Rise and Shine Tramp, an official event of the Virgin Islands Emancipation Festival, took off from Long Swamp, in the vicinity of the East End Police Station, at 4:50 AM and ended at Long Bay beach on Beef Island, where the party continued.

      Since when is it legal to be half naked and nude as well as perform lewd acts in public including gyrating in sexual positions??!!???!!!

      Does the law pause during festival??????

      If you can’t go in a store, walk through town, etc. with your breasts, vagina, and bottom hanging out WHERE ARE THE POLICE TO STOP THIS NASTY BEHAVIOUR!!!!!!

      Who vex with this viewpoint and see nothing wrong with the prostitute-like behaviour; who vex with others speaking out against it are VEX WITH THE WORD OF GOD!!!!!!!

      Romans 13:13
      Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

      Ezekiel 16:43
      Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me by all these things, behold, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head,” declares the Lord God, “so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations.

        We should collectively file a complaint about this lawless conduct. The Festivals and Fairs Committee should know better and where is the voice of the Christian Counsel?

      Mark 7:13 “Thus invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”

      Deuteronomy 18:9
      “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those nations.”

      Romans 12:2
      “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

    What does all this lawlessness and disgusting display of flesh have to do with emancipation? They are a disgrace to their ancestors who suffered and died for freedom!

    The women of this generation are whores and they teach the kids the same thing. Look at young girls half naked and nearly having sex jouvet in the streets. The village have women walking around just about naked. Poor kids because what kind of example are you all setting. The school kids whoring for money and their parents are glad because less money out their pockets. Carnival is about porn that's why I don't participate in it. My kids and grandkids will never be a part of that. Parade is nothing but sluts shaking their ass. Most of them people in parade be selling their body and their kids. The costumes are thongs not clothes. Total disrespect. Like I always say this world is run by the devil and they have their puppets pushing nudity, prostitution,drugs,trans humans,drags, and plenty more agendas on you All. Stay dumb and blind

      It is supposed to be an 'Emancipation Festival' not a lawless Carnival of Flesh. They have gone too far....they are out in the streets with their evil ways now!

    Where did all these bible pages of holy people come from if there were no sins then there would be no need for a savior. some of all on here bashing sinners like you all was born a saint if you are all so holy what did Christ save you all from? Then you all want come tell me to comes amongst all you so you all can tell me bout my pass. remember a saint is only a sinner saved by grace. lead by example if you want to see the difference be the change you want. Set of hypocrites
    pray for the sinner man owe no one nothing but love. Christ did not come for the righteous but he came for the sinner.

      We will never change we will always have to push back when the bible comes out to play because people rather darkness rather than light. These days no one wants to hear the truth. God did come for the sinner he also said go into the world and teach of me. We are all sinners and God knows that, but we still bear a responsibility to correct each other.

    That route is too short. I want them to start from YEP next year. You see many persons are complaining that they revellers were only walking and not dancing but if the start from YEP by time they reach police station the alcohol will start to kick in and we might see more dancing instead of a walkathon.
