This is taken from an article from today’s ‘Belfast Newsletter’.
It is headed: DUP MP GAVIN ROBINSON’S WIFE HITS BACK AT INTERNAL PARTY CRITICS OF HER ANTI-GAY CONVERSION THERAPY CAMPAIGNING
The wife of a DUP MP has hit back at those within the party said to have questioned some of her recent comments urging a ban on gay conversion therapy.
The article contains a quote from Mrs Robinson, mounted on her ‘Twitter’ account, in which she was responding to a statement with which she did not agree from DUP MLA, Mr Thomas Buchanan.
She uttered what must be considered a blasphemous expletive to express her disagreement.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey. I’m all out of words and almost everything else at this point.”
This is an outburst from one who has little regard for God and even less understanding of the sanctity of His truth.
Has she no knowledge of the third commandment which teaches: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain,” Exodus 20:7?
She has either no knowledge of what it is the Lord requires of us regarding the use of His name or she wickedly cares little for what the Lord says!
This expletive is a familiar outburst from the lips of the Roman Catholic. Her adopting of such an evil expression betrays a worldly mindset in utter opposition to that which is of the grace of God!
This is the sad and reprehensible depths to which the DUP has sunk in recent times.
I have sent off the following letter to the “Belfast Newsletter”.
Dear Editor,
I saw in one of your articles in today’s edition, that which I never thought I would read as a quote from the wife of one deemed to be a leading MP in the DUP!
The article I refer to is headed: DUP MP GAVIN ROBINSON’S WIFE HITS BACK AT INTERNAL PARTY CRITICS OF HER ANTI-GAY CONVERSION THERAPY CAMPAIGNING
The wife of a DUP MP has hit back at those within the party said to have questioned some of her recent comments urging a ban on gay conversion therapy.
There is a quote in the article from Mrs Lindsay Robinson which she mounted on her ‘Twitter’ account, and which was a response to a statement with which she did not agree from DUP MLA, Mr Thomas Buchanan.
She uttered what must be considered a blasphemous expletive to express her disagreement with the MLA.
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey. I’m all out of words and almost everything else at this point.”
This is an outburst from one who has little regard for God and even less understanding of the sanctity of His truth.
Has she no knowledge of the third commandment which teaches: “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain,” Exodus 20:7?

This expletive is a familiar outburst from the lips of the Roman Catholic. Her adopting of such an evil expression betrays a worldly mindset in utter opposition to that which is of the grace of God!
Her husband responded via Twitter to her comment in a manner which clearly indicates that he finds no fault with his wife’s statement. Either that or he is too intimidated to rebuke her as she deserves!
This is the sad and reprehensible depths to which the DUP has sunk in recent times.
