So A Bishop Dropped Dead During Service

“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” - Proverbs 28:13

Bishop Bobby Davis dropped dead in church! I should just leave it at that. Preaching out of Bridgeport, Connecticut since the late 1960's. Davis who has a master's degree in theological studies, a doctorate degree in ministry, and is a certified marriage and family therapist was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead. Now, he didn't die because he was jumping around and screaming and people are want to do. He died after making a confession about infidelity.

Now, before any of you say anything regarding the word “karma” look it up. Hopefully then you'll stop using it improperly. Bishop Davis' wife Christine Davis, who he had been married to for 50 years, was told about his stepping out ways and told him that he needed to tell the church about it. I would have been like “Uh, yeah. But no.” Davis asked his congregation to stay around after service because he had something to say. He admitted to an affair to his people and then all hell broke loose. Not literally.

Someone who was there said “He wanted to come clean with all of us. He wanted to ask our forgiveness.” Now, it is not being said when the affair happened. Just that it had. Then the rage party began. It is being reported that it wasn't the church that went off on him, but his own kids. “It got physical. One of the sons attacked him. I was told one of the daughters poured water on him. It was like something out of not even like the Old Testament but a bad reality TV show. My heart is so devastated because it could have been handled in a private manner” this unnamed source said.

Another witness said “We were shouting 'We forgive you; we love you', but the stress of all of it...he had a heart attack. I held his head as he lay on the floor...Our congregation is hurting now.” Police came to check things out and started interviewing people. There is even video of this that the police took away that will eventually show up online somehow. Wow. Someone must feel bad. Maybe the kids who went off on him. Maybe the wife who told him to give this a try. Maybe the woman he messed around with who you just know was sitting there at the service just waiting for someone to notice how bad she was sweating.

If I was there when this was happening I like to think that I would've just gotten up and left. I trust the animal side of myself and I would be able to feel some shit about to go down. Then I would've gotten pissed later when someone said “Oh, you should've stayed!” But seriously, this should have been handled at home. No need to bring that out in church.
