He tried very hard to be a good Christian. Even refusing to perform the raunchy songs later in his career. Clearly he had issues and struggled a lot. I hope God has him now.
Just keep saying non violent drug offender. Dealing drugs is a violent offense.
This is exactly the sort of person Jesus was especially talking about when he said, “Judge not.” People from broken homes, etc. I have a cousin into drugs, illiterate, etc. When he committed suicide a few months ago, I thought about his father, who beat him daily for years, from the time he was a toddler, for ten years or more.
I hate to say he was part of the non-Christian Jehovah’s Witness cult. They deny the trinity, the deity of Christ, and the resurrection, among other unbiblical beliefs.
