Former HIV/AIDS Ghanaian ambassador, Joyce Dzirdzor Mensah has stated that she would have sued the founder and savior of Christianity, Jesus Christ if it was possible because He’s caused her more harm.
The controversial woman in a long Facebook post claimed that Jesus Christ misled her in the past as she used Him as a source of inspiration during the time she was the HIV/AIDS ambassador but He wasn’t there for her when she needed Him the most. Dzidzor added that she and her family counted on Jesus Christ to heal one of her aunties when they took her to a prayer camp instead of a hospital and she ended up dying.
Her full post on Facebook read: “I have personal problems with Jesus who misled me in the past. One of the stories that inspired me to save lives through HIV education was the story of Jesus Christ. I wanted to do something extraordinary to draw more attention to save lives. I also wanted to be like Jesus Christ so I did everything within my power to save lives but when troubles came my way, I cried, prayed and Jesus was no where to be found. I have lost relatives in the past because we counted on the healing powers of Jesus hence taking my sick Auntie to a prayer camp in Ho when she fell ill instead of taking her to hospital.
“My uncle Mr Addo who was assistance head at swedru secondary school promised to further my education but died while we were counting on Jesus for healing….I prayed for a miracle but never got one so I started working in a com center while my friends were in school. I was baptised in the church of pentecost and highly religious, midnight prayers was my food. But I don’t remember any prayers Jesus has answered. I became depressed along the line and felt Jesus never loved me. As I write now, there are pastors who once invited me to educate their church members but most of them blocked me when I started having issues.
“We are all humans and not perfect, so if a pastor who says Jesus is saving sinners and cannot even speak again with a sinner like me then I don’t see my business in the church. Because it’s clear to me that the church is for the holy one. I have taken my destiny into my own hands and trying to study to make my life beautiful. No more praying and waiting for miracles that never happens. Yes! It is true that religion stops part of your brain from functioning. Jesus has caused more harm to my family and at this point , I say never again to powerless and wicked Jesus and if there’s any possibility to sue him , I will not hesitate to do so.”
