azanian Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 So news just in Die Burger, that cricket legend and all-round, squeaky-clean Christian former family man, Jonty Rhodes is to leave his wife and two children (aged 9 and 4) and move to Cape Town to be with a “new woman.†Sigh. And boo bloody hiss. Here’s what I don’t understand: JR is a vocal and high-profile Christian, who only last year was quoted as saying that his born-again experience all stems back to his meeting Kate (his wife): “Now I know why the Lord put us together, because she was the one that set me on the right track.†What does he think, then, God would think, about him hightailing it down to Bloubergstrand? He was only 24 when he married his wife, but surely, (especially for a Christian, and one so clearly instructed by his Lord, to be with his wife,) that is no excuse? I know it is none of my business, but hypocrisy and using religion when it suits, makes my blood boil, nonetheless. How does he face his maker, after he’s pulled this stunt? And, never mind God, how does he face his small children? Of course, all of us are weak, and vulnerable to our human frailties etc. Not one of us should be compelled to stay in a truly miserable marriage, but a man who is in such close and grandiose contact with …God, is not all of us. And a man who, just last year was telling Christian magazines how happy he was in his marriage, is not a man who is dying inside. That is a man who has just met someone else he likes better. A man who, in pursuit of that new someone, doesn’t care that much about God, his wife, or his children. In an interview with Joy Magazine, only last year, he said, when asked what the future holds for him: “I have never been a long term planner, so this is a funny question for me! I take each day as it comes and tend to only plan a few things at a time, as God leads me. What I can say though, is that Kate and I love South Africa and we have no intention of leaving. Throughout my travels to many different countries, I have come to realise that there is no place like home. We still have so many places to explore and Kate and I are excited to raise our kids here and to see what the future holds.†Oh pooh. This time, God didn’t lead you to Bloubergstrand, Jonty, something else ( a little more …base? A little more …human? A little less holy?) http://hurricanevanessa.com/?p=7916
satishg Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 ok first of all this is not a religious forum and second this should not be in cricket talk rather in the chit chat section. I think your God has much bigger problems to worry about than Jonty leaving his wife, if he can help the Haiti victims that would be a good start!
Sooda Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Ok then ILL be the first to say it- Nice catch Jonty
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Well, OP is right in bringing religion into this topic. If Jonty was Muslim, he could have married both girls.

THX_1138 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 I think this noob who made the thread is an immigrant from the west... not very far, just far enough to be our collective spittoon. he seems to derive some peculiar happiness from flinging upon others what is flung upon him and his countrymen all day and night.

ViruRulez Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 :yawn2: enjoy Jonty but take care of the kids too :icflove:
punjabi_khota Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Some of the most religious people have done the most darndest things. Cheating on wife and abandoning kids is quite a trivial thing when compared to jehadi shyte.
Ram Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Some of the characters here really need to grow up.. how you guys manage to bring in religion and faith in a clear case of adultery is unbelievably puzzling..
CricketGirl Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 so what? i think you will find that lots of people use the name of "god" to make themselves look squeeky clean! he isnt the first to leave his wife and i'm sure he wont be the last!
Guest Gunner Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Some of the characters here really need to grow up.. how you guys manage to bring in religion and faith in a clear case of adultery is unbelievably puzzling.. That is as much an exercise in contradiction as I have ever seen. Where does the concept of adultery arise from surely it is not a legal creation.
