(ThyBlackMan.com) Recently in Clayton County Georgia, Atlanta Pastor Craig Lamar Davis failed to tell a woman that he was HIV positive as they began to indulge in unprotected sex.
Ms. Ronita McAfee, one of the most visible “so called victims” stated for her that “it has been an ongoing nightmare, ongoing, waking up out of my sleep with anxiety, uncontrollable shakes, thinking that I was HIV positive.”
Luckily thus far, Ms. McAfee has tested negative for the HIV virus.

Pastor Davis was convicted on two counts of “Reckless HIV” which is a felony, and refused to admit that he was HIV Positive or even had these affairs as a married man until I guess he was backed up into a corner.
While in court, Ronita McAfee expressed a desire for Pastor Craig Davis to receive the full 20 year sentence, but even though she didn’t her full wish ultimately, this is what she said in court before the final sentence was written in stone:
“My smiles are empty, my laugh’s are empty, my hello’s are empty, my hugs, kisses touches are empty”
Davis finally admitted his guilt in a weak attempt at receiving mercy from the court by stating:
“I take full responsibility for everything that has gone on, my heart truly goes out to her daughters, um, bad decision, very very bad decision. And I opened the door the door for a lot of people to be hurt.”
Good try Pastor.
Also, it was reported that Pastor Craig Davis “was already a convicted felon for cocaine possession”, so with such poor integrity and bad judgment, how is it that he could become a Pastor without this information being known?
Sure God forgives, and I would even look past the cocaine charge if the circumstances fit a particular profile – young dumb decision or committed many years ago – but at this point this incident should be a wake up call to everyone that everyone who claims holiness doesn’t always possess the holiest of intentions at all!
Now we all know of the pimp preachers who steal the money of the congregation for their own personal shopping sprees as well as their harem of women that are always on post just a phone call away 24/7 waiting to satisfy the every sexual fetish possessed by a man possessed by something else other than the spirit of the Lord!
We know of those types and surely this case of congregational deception won’t be the last, and while I feel for anyone who has to go through this as a victim, didn’t Ronita McAfee helped to open the door wide just as much as her Pastor did?
Does she bear the weight of SOME of the responsibility of this situation?
Let me ask the readers and I’m not inquiring from the standpoint of being insensitive because I do feel for everyone, but what if this HIV aspect of their affair didn’t come out in the light to make this situation highly visible?
Wouldn’t Ms. McAfee be considered the worst of the worst to sleep with a married Pastor knowing that he has a Wife?
No, I’m not relieving him of his contributions to this sad story, I’m merely focusing on her part of it.
If the HIV aspect didn’t arise then she – and whomever else he was sleeping with, because she wasn’t the only one – would have gotten no sympathy for giving up the goods right up under the nose of the Pastor’s Wife and would have been considered a well decorated official senior Certified Church Whore.
Am I wrong?
If you think so then that’s just my point of view because while Ms. McAfee took the stand seeking sympathy for her “midnight shakes” and uncontrollable anxiety”, she didn’t care for the Wife of Pastor Craig Lamar Davis when she sought to have her “midnight shakes” and “uncontrollable anxiety” relieved on a sexual level when she spread those thighs wide to have him “cum” on in.
I believe that all would have been cool in the neighborhood if they were still creeping together unbeknownst to the unsuspecting Wife who is THE REAL VICTIM here!
Sure, I consider the daughters of Ms. McAfee to be the true victims in this also because they have to bear the embarrassment of having to deal with such a high profile situation that was blasted all over the television and internet which exposed the carnal conundrums of their “hot to trot” mother.
The situation simply backfired on her and point her in an unfortunate position.
The bottom line: The BOTH are guilty of violating the very divine spiritual principles that they so falsely pretended to uphold.
It’s not as though Pastor Davis put a gun to her head to GET some head because she was down to do what they did.
Nor did they have sexual relations in broad daylight on Peachtree Street on the middle of the road on the double yellow line in 5 o’clock rush hour traffic while being recorded by the evening news cameras!
NO!
They did their dirt in secret because they KNEW IT WAS WRONG!
You want to play the game? Then pay the price and the penalty when the hand that was dealt to you comes up short!
Go did NOT have anything to do with this situation at all, your disobedience to what God’s law commanded is what did it!
Lesson learned! If Ms. McAfee and Pastor Davis kept their minds on what they went to church for then NONE OF THIS would have happened at all.
Temptation here is not the problem, it’s the acting OUT on that temptation that will bring disastrous results to the lives of those involved as well as mushrooming out in a constant wave of pain for years to come to the innocent Wife and mutual families.
I have spoken.
While many of us sit here and write about the women involved with this former pastor, I wonder how many of us have shoved skeletons in the closet as well. Are the women who have come forward supposed to be now convicted of being tattle-tails or have we just been trained to be hush mouth over preachers in the pulpit who sleep with their congregation? Is the w**** just a woman or the w**** also the man? What makes this unique is that this case has been played out yet again in a religious arena. It is not special, it is not new, it is not a phenomenon. What gives this story so much light is that it has to do with black people in the church. The reality is that HIV and AIDS is spread everyday to men and women heterosexual bisexual and other.the infidelity is a whole other subject.
O ye church people so judgemental. Always missing the point because you are too high on your pedestal! Hmmmm, what Jesus do and say in this situation? Well let me say, He without sin, etc etc etc!
As this article has served to enlighten everyone that reads it, my heart is truly troubled. We have had the luxury of reading about the transgressions of other Church organizations and now the spotlight is on us. If Satan has the power to transform himself as an angel of light, why do we find things such as this to be surprising? If Ms.McAfee had no shakes or nightmares, would she still be engaging in unprotective sex? Sex in the chuchhouse is nothing new as there are several acts of perversion going on everyday. The problem occurs in one getting caught. The issue of accountability is not examined in this case as both parties overlooked their individual responsibility in persuing personal satisfaction in sinning. As there were hypocrites in the time of Jesus, there will be some of the same in the last days. While people may find this type of behavior shocking, you can bet that if people were to be honest, acts such as this happen more often than you know. The challenge in being a Christian comes in the form of temptation and other opportunities to sin, such as being dishonest, selfish, and most of denying the power of God or His existence. All we can do is the best we can do on an individual basis as we all will answer for our actions in the end. It is the fact that we tolerate such actions without a full understanding of God’s expectations for us as His children. I can be of the opininon that where sin exists, God’s spirit is nowhere around. For if it were, no sin could occur. The true problem is not in the fact that we sin, but how we atone for it once it is revealed. Once you repent, you are forgiven, and should have the fortitude of not revisiting any situations that caused wrongdoing to occur. Although it sounds easy, it is the hardest thing to accomplish on a daily basis. Heaven help us all. Peace out, Papacool.
@Cliff Barker… why claim the pastor has HIV when he wasn’t diagonosed? All of the articles I’ve read state that he didn’t reveal he was HIV+ and not one expert has stated that he wasn’t diagonosed.
If you were paying attention to the trial, you’d know that the doctors who initially claimed that Davis and a victim were infected with HIV ALL admitted at trial that they never actually diagnosed Davis; and the lab “experts” from LabCorp and Quest ALL admitted that they never diagnosed Davis. That’s like the arresting officer of a drunk driver who admits that the driver didn’t actually look drunk. I understand why the jury convicted Davis – some allegations are too ugly to require evidence – but for the judge and prosecutor to let a factually-innocent man go to prison is unconscionable to this career police officer. You can hate Davis all you want, but that doesn’t make him guilty, just as your hatred of him does not make you human. Stay tuned.
It’s so sad that so many of our black churches have people like this running things.
Very good article and straight to the point. Black males like the reverend are the reason why the % of black women infected with HIV has risen sky high. But if these whores, like you said, didn’t let these guys crawl between their legs, it’s a good chance they wouldn’t be in this situation. It’s also a well-known fact that Craig was sexually active with males too. A whore loving, down-low dude who WAS a pastor. Wonder if anyone’s going to have any sympathy for yet another black male going to jail. I only wish he got more years behind bars. He’s exactly where he needs to be.
And this heffa was a whore before she walked in that church. She got what she deserved. Seems to me that whores NEVER think until they suffer the consequences.
