HAFOD: Snapchat messages led police to a dealer’s ketamine stash — hidden in a Tesco bag in his spare bedroom

A Hafod drug dealer whose Snapchat messages gave him away has been jailed for four years — after police found 2.7kg of ketamine and hundreds of grams of cannabis stashed in a Tesco carrier bag in his spare bedroom.

Flynn Johnson-Andrews, 28, of Grandison Street, was identified during an unrelated phone download, when Snapchat messages showed him selling cannabis and ketamine, South Wales Police said.

Officers went to his home on 9 June and arrested him as he got out of his car and headed for his front door, Swansea Crown Court heard.

After his phone was seized, the 28-year-old told officers they would find ketamine and cannabis in a spare bedroom — where a Tesco carrier bag was found holding packages of ketamine totalling some 2.7kg, along with 623g of cannabis.

The search also turned up cannabis joints under the bed and on a bedside cabinet, small snap bags, and weighing scales in the kitchen covered in white powder.

Messages sent and received on his phone over the previous few days related to the supply of cannabis, the court heard.

Johnson-Andrews was on licence at the time, having been sentenced to 32 months in prison in 2024 for supplying cocaine and cannabis. He has five previous convictions for 11 offences, including possession of Class A, B and C drugs and three counts of drug-driving.

He pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis with intent to supply and possession of ketamine with intent to supply, and was jailed for four years — four years for the ketamine offence and six months for the cannabis, to run concurrently — after a one-third discount for his guilty pleas.

His barrister, Andrew Evans, told the court that both of his client’s parents had struggled with drug addiction, saying it was “perhaps not surprising that he is a young man with his own addiction issues”. He conceded an immediate custodial sentence was inevitable.

Judge Huw Rees told Johnson-Andrews it was not his fault that he did not have the best start in life, and said that as he approached his 30th birthday he was left wondering what direction his life would take. The judge told him he would make a “good teacher” telling people to give up drugs.

Acting Inspector Jonathan Shaddick said: “This was an excellent arrest, charge and sentence which demonstrates quick and efficient police work following a thorough investigation from start to finish.

“I recognise the work of PC Finch, who led the warrant, along with the fine work of other City NPT officers involved in this investigation.

“With our Clear Hold Build work currently ongoing in the area to build a better Dyfatty, this sends a strong message that those in the area who are involved in criminality can expect to be tracked down and brought to justice as we address the long-standing issues the people of Dyfatty have had to contend with for too long.”

The Clear Hold Build operation — which clears an area of organised crime, holds the ground, then works with the community to build longer-term resilience — has been credited with cutting crime in Dyfatty by more than a tenth in four months. Over the same period, a row of long-shuttered High Street units reopened as the Dyfatty Junction community hub.

Hafod itself sits within the wider turnaround area. The neighbourhood is one of six — alongside Dyfatty, North Hill, High Street, Brynmelyn and Waun Wen — covered by a £20m, decade-long UK Government investment programme, and applications are open until later this month for residents to join the board deciding how the money is spent.

South Wales Police said tackling organised crime was a priority for the force, and that it would “continue to be relentless” in pursuing criminals to protect communities from harm.

Anyone who suspects drug dealing is taking place — or is concerned that a young person or vulnerable adult may have been targeted by an organised crime group — can call South Wales Police on 101, or report anonymously to Crimestoppers online or on 0800 555 111. “You don’t have to be certain, just concerned,” the force said. In an emergency, always call 999.

FFORESTFACH: Drug dealer jailed over £1.5m operation run from ‘modest home’

A Swansea drug dealer has been jailed for five years after police uncovered an operation that saw almost £1.5m pass through his bank accounts.

Jason Partridge, 41, ran the enterprise from his home in Fforestfach — described by a senior detective as a “modest home” — despite having no legitimate source of income.

Partridge and his partner, 40-year-old Samantha Phillips, were the subject of a drugs warrant at the address in February 2024.

During the search, officers found a large quantity of Class C drugs in boxes addressed to Partridge, according to South Wales Police.

They also discovered chocolate tubs stuffed with postal receipts for recorded deliveries — one of them showing a value of £15,000.

A price list for the items Partridge was selling was found on Phillips’ phone, the force said.

Financial investigators established that between February 2018 and April 2024, more than £1.48m in unexplained credits had passed through six accounts linked to Partridge.

There was no evidence of any legitimate income to account for the money.

In October 2025, Partridge changed his plea to guilty on a charge of possessing criminal property.

He also admitted possessing the Class C drugs pregabalin, zopiclone, bromazolam, tramadol, anabolic steroids and diazepam.

He was sentenced to five years in prison.

Phillips admitted being concerned in the supply of anabolic steroids and diazepam, and was handed a four-month sentence, suspended for 12 months.

Detective Inspector Richard George said Partridge had been running “a million-pound drugs operation from his modest home” with no legitimate employment or other legal work.

He said Partridge had wanted to “cheat the system” and “get rich quick with the aid of illegal substances”, adding that it had “blown up in his face”.

The detective said Partridge had involved his partner in the enterprise and brought her “very close” to joining him in prison.

He said the sentence showed the force would continue to target those involved in the illegal drugs trade, who would “be brought to justice in the end”.

LLANELLI: Cocaine dealer jailed after claiming Albanian crime gang forced him to sell drugs

Brooklyn Thomas told police he was coerced into dealing after running up a £10,000 debt — but a judge said the account, if true, showed only the “dark world” he had entered.

A cocaine dealer from Llanelli has been jailed after telling police he was forced into selling drugs by an Albanian organised crime gang.

Brooklyn Thomas, 27, claimed the gang had provided him with sex workers, leaving him with a £10,000 debt he was then told to work off, Swansea Crown Court heard.

But the judge said that even if the account were true, it served only to illustrate the “dark world” of drug dealing and the people of “evil intent” within it.

The case was first reported by WalesOnline.

The court heard Thomas was arrested in April after a police officer in Llanelli spotted two men talking on their phones near the town’s railway station.

Both men separately walked into a nearby pathway before emerging shortly afterwards and going their own ways, prosecutor Sian Cutter said.

The officer, suspecting a drugs deal had taken place, followed Thomas to a BMW and arrested him.

Officers seized two phones and £210 in cash, and a search uncovered six underweight 1g deals of high-purity cocaine hidden in his underwear.

When police examined his phone, they found a recently received message reading: “I am walking down to grab some cash now. Are you able to do one?”

A search of his home turned up two sets of weighing scales with traces of cocaine, along with a small amount of cannabis.

The court heard messages on his Samsung phone relating to cocaine supply stretched back to January 2025, including references to “one of the boys” delivering deals for him.

Further messages about drug supply were recovered from Facebook, Snapchat and WhatsApp.

In his first police interview, Thomas said he had been selling drugs under coercion from the crime group.

He told officers he had met members of the gang after using a website to pay for a sex worker, and that after they provided him with several that day, he was left owing £10,000 and told he would have to work to clear the debt.

Claims of Albanian organised crime have surfaced in other Llanelli-area drugs cases. In May, a man trafficked from Albania was jailed over an £82,000 cannabis factory overlooking Llanelli’s North Dock after telling police he was working off a debt to the gang that smuggled him into Britain.

In January, another man was jailed over a cannabis factory in nearby Kidwelly, having claimed he turned to organised crime to repay debts linked to his journey to the UK.

Thomas, of Campbell Street, Llanelli, admitted possession of cocaine with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession of criminal property and possession of cannabis.

He had previously entered a basis of plea, which was later withdrawn. He has previous convictions for dishonesty but none for drugs.

Matt Murphy, for Thomas, said his client had a supportive mother but a father who had been a drug user and first gave him cannabis at 16.

He said Thomas had trained as a painter and decorator and later worked in a car parts factory, but had struggled to find permanent work with limited qualifications.

His time on remand had acted as a “reset”, the barrister said.

Judge Huw Rees said Thomas came from Pwll — an area he knew to have “lots of good people” — before moving to the Morfa area of Llanelli and falling “in with bad company”.

The judge said there was already “far too much” Class A drugs in Llanelli and Burry Port without Thomas adding to it.

He told the defendant to reflect on the worry he had caused his mother, who had given him “nothing but unconditional love and support”.

Thomas was sentenced to three years in prison, with credit for his guilty pleas. He will serve up to half in custody before being released on licence.

“Nobody in this court wants someone from Pwll to come before the courts again,” the judge told him.

Former council HGV driver used chapel opposite his home as cocaine pick-up point — jailed for three and a half years

A former council lorry driver has been jailed for three and a half years after running a cocaine dealing operation from his home in the Swansea Valley — using the chapel opposite his flat as a pick-up point for customers.

Sheridan Geen, 53, now of Howell Road, Neath, was convicted at trial of being concerned in the supply of cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property. He also admitted possession of morphine at Swansea Crown Court on April 21.

Dyfed-Powys Police executed a search warrant at Geen’s former home on Heol Twrch in Lower Cwmtwrch, near Ystradgynlais, on October 27, 2022. Officers found £1,560 in cash, weighing scales, a quantity of empty grip-seal bags inside a Gillette toiletries bag, and a small amount of morphine. Geen was also found attempting to conceal more than 40 wraps of cocaine — totalling 27.5 grams — on the bathroom window ledge.

An examination of Geen’s mobile phone revealed messages relating to the supply of cocaine. Prosecutor Regan Walters told the court that the chapel opposite his home had been used as a regular meeting point where customers would come to collect their orders.

Recorder Jonathan Rees KC said it was clear from the phone evidence that Geen had been running a commercial drug dealing business, using the chapel as a convenient location to meet customers.

During his police interview, Geen answered “no comment” to most questions. He denied any involvement in drug supply, claimed he had never heard of class A drugs, and said the cash found at his address had been given to him by his father, who had inherited it. When challenged about messages on his phone containing the words “bash” and “pure” — both well-known slang terms for cocaine — he insisted he had no idea what they referred to.

His barrister Christopher Evans told the court that Geen had worked as an HGV driver for his local council for 30 years before losing his job in 2020, following the breakdown of a relationship in 2017. “Things started to spiral out of control,” Mr Evans said, adding that Geen’s mental health had declined as a result.

The court heard Geen had turned to cocaine to self-medicate — claiming the stimulant paradoxically helped him sleep — and that a gambling problem had compounded his financial difficulties, pushing him deeper into debt and eventually into dealing to fund his habit. “He was dealing primarily to fund his own drug use rather than for profit,” his barrister said.

Mr Evans told the court that Geen had lost contact with his son during this period but had since reconnected with him, describing the relationship as a key motivating factor in his recovery. He said his client had now been drug-free for three years.

Although Geen denied dealing throughout his trial, his barrister said he now accepts full responsibility for his actions. Being arrested had served as a “wake-up call,” the court heard.

Geen has eight previous convictions for nine offences dating back to 1990, including drug possession, but none for dealing.

He was sentenced to three years and six months in prison and ordered to pay a £228 surcharge. He will serve up to half the sentence in custody before being released on licence. A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing into his finances has been scheduled for July 28.

DRUG DEALING: Ammanford pair used ‘Chinese’ as codeword for cocaine orders — jailed after being caught waiting for a delivery in Swansea

Two men from Ammanford have been jailed after being caught supplying cocaine on the streets of Swansea — with an examination of their phones revealing drug users were ordering their fix by asking for a “Chinese.”

Jac Cadman, 23, of Florence Road, Ammanford, and Jamie Cook, 31, of Tabernacle Road, Glanaman, were spotted by officers on patrol in the Blaenymaes area of Swansea on March 13 this year, sitting in a parked Renault on Pentregethin Road. The officers noted the pair appeared “overly nervous and fidgety” and that the vehicle was registered and insured to a provisional licence holder.

A search under the Misuse of Drugs Act uncovered 28g of cocaine and £470 in cash in Cadman’s pockets, and 5g of cocaine and £880 in cash on Cook. Three mobile phones were also seized.

Subsequent searches of the defendants’ home addresses revealed further cash — £1,620 and an additional $1,330 in US currency were found at Cadman’s property.

Swansea Crown Court heard that messages on Cadman’s phone showed “clear evidence of involvement in the supply of cocaine,” and that he had been waiting in Pentregethin Road to collect a delivery for onward supply at the time of his arrest.

Cook’s phone told a more colourful story. Caitlin Brazel, prosecuting, told the court that a large number of messages from known drug users referred to buying “Chinese” — which she said appeared to be a codeword for cocaine. The prosecution said police concluded Cook’s phone was being used as the drugs line.

Investigators were also able to link messages from a phone seized in a separate drugs investigation in 2025 to Cook, suggesting he had been involved in supplying cocaine since at least 2024. Cook had previously been convicted in 2022 of possession with intent to supply and being concerned in the supply of cocaine after being caught operating as a street dealer in the Penlan area of Swansea by a plain-clothed police officer.

Both men answered “no comment” to all questions in interview, save for Cadman telling officers he worked in tarmacking.

The court heard that Cadman, who has no previous convictions, had begun drinking and taking drugs as a teenager as an escape from the pressures of being a carer for his parents. His barrister said he had found himself in debt and turned to dealing as a result, and that he was “deeply ashamed” of the impact on his family — including an unborn child.

Cook’s barrister told the court his client had experienced adverse childhood experiences linked to his mother’s addiction issues, and that the breakdown of a relationship following his 2022 imprisonment had seen him turn back to drugs. While on remand, the court heard, Cook had reflected on his situation and hoped to undertake the 12 Steps addiction programme upon release.

Recorder Greg Bull KC, sentencing, said those who involve themselves in Class A drug supply are “dealing in human misery” and that the courts would always treat such offending seriously.

With one-third discounts for their guilty pleas, Cadman was sentenced to 28 months in prison and Cook to 40 months. Both will serve no more than half their sentences in custody before being released on licence.

Sergeant Luke Tucker, of South Wales Police, said: “Both Jac Cadman and Jamie Cook will have felt great when they thought that their Class A drug dealing was going to net them a quick windfall. However, unfortunately for them, that feeling was quickly shattered when officers caught them in the act.

“Both will now follow in the footsteps of other drug dealers who have plagued the streets of Swansea as they rightfully head to prison.”

CAUGHT DEALING: Townhill man who tried to outrun police found hiding behind parked car — and cocaine was on the ground beside him

A Swansea drug dealer who tried to flee from plain-clothed police officers has been jailed for three years and eight months after being caught hiding behind parked cars — with cocaine on the ground nearby.

Kian Meredith, 22, of Caradog Place, Townhill, was spotted by officers on patrol in Prince of Wales Road in Swansea, who observed what they believed was a drug deal taking place among a group of known drug users. When officers approached, the group scattered. Meredith ran towards the Dyfatty junction before being found a short time later crouching behind two parked vehicles on Greenhill Street.

On the ground near him were wraps of cocaine. When searched, officers found a mobile phone and £115 in cash.

A download of Meredith’s phone later revealed messages related to the supply of cocaine and crack cocaine over the previous three months, as well as a so-called “tick list” — a record of money owed to him by customers. He answered no comment to all questions in police interview.

Meredith had already pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and to simple possession of cocaine when he appeared at Swansea Crown Court for sentencing.

The case was made significantly more serious by Meredith’s history. He was out of prison on licence at the time of the offence, having previously been convicted of conspiracy to supply heroin and conspiracy to supply cocaine in 2023 — offences linked to the Jack line, a drugs network that was supplying significant quantities of both cocaine and heroin to users around Swansea. He received three years in a young offenders institution for those matters.

His barrister Emily Bennett told the court that Meredith had relapsed into cocaine and crack use in January this year “for no particular reason,” which had led to what she described as a “spiral” of addiction, debt and then dealing. She said his decision to run from officers when approached reflected his lack of maturity.

Ms Bennett said her client wanted to use his time in custody constructively, tackle his addiction issues, and train as a barber “so he is in a better position when he comes out of prison.”

Judge Catherine Richards said she accepted that Meredith’s life had been blighted by drugs, but said that by the age of just 22 he had been caught dealing on three separate occasions — and that the most recent offence was aggravated by the fact he had been on licence at the time. With a one-third reduction for his guilty pleas, she imposed a sentence of three years and eight months. He will serve 40% of that in custody before being released on licence.

The area where Meredith was caught has been the focus of a dedicated crackdown by South Wales Police, which has already seen crime fall 12% and anti-social behaviour drop 69% in the Dyfatty area following targeted enforcement activity.

South Wales Police Sergeant Luke Tucker said: “Kian Meredith was caught in the act while trying to peddle his poison onto the streets of Swansea. He is now going to prison for almost four years — a very costly price to pay which shows that dealing Class A drugs is just not worth it. Our officers will find you and you will go to prison.”

SWANSEA: Five jailed after street brawl saw family arm themselves with nail-studded plank in revenge attack

Swansea Crown Court heard that the background to the violence was a belief on the part of brothers Adam Miller and Kristian Thomas that Corey Jenkins was involved in drug dealing in the Ravenhill area of Swansea.

On 6 June, the pair acted on that belief by taking golf clubs to the Jenkins family home on Rhodfa’r Brain, where they smashed a number of downstairs windows before walking to the nearby home of a relative, David Dallimore.

In response, four members of the Jenkins family — Paul, Christopher, Corey and Lisa Jenkins — armed themselves with weapons and made their way to Mr Dallimore’s address, where the confrontation spilled into the street.

The disturbance was captured on CCTV and mobile phone footage. Corey Jenkins was seen wielding a plank of wood studded with nails and a metal pole, Paul Jenkins had a hammer, and Christopher and Lisa Jenkins were armed with sticks.

During the melee, Thomas struck neighbour Kirsty Choi on the head with a metal pole as she tried to help an injured member of the Jenkins family nearby.

Judge Catherine Richards said that while Miller and Thomas had sparked the incident by taking the law into their own hands and attacking the Jenkins home, the Jenkins family had then armed themselves and engaged in an act of “vigilantism” without regard for the impact on the wider community or the fear caused to fellow residents.

The judge’s remarks underlined the serious impact the disorder had on innocent people in the area. Residents who had no connection to either party were left to witness a large-scale armed confrontation on their street, with the judge making clear that the Jenkins family’s decision to arm themselves and pursue retribution had significantly aggravated the situation.

Paul Jenkins, 64, Christopher Paul Jenkins, 45, Corey Jenkins, 23, and Lisa Dawn Jenkins, 45, all of Rhodfa’r Brain, Ravenhill, had previously pleaded guilty to violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon. Paul and Christopher Jenkins have previous convictions; Corey and Lisa Jenkins had been of previously good character.

Kristian Dale Thomas, 39, of Tudno Place, Penlan, had pleaded guilty to criminal damage and was convicted at trial of the unlawful wounding of Miss Choi. He was described as having an extensive record including possession of offensive weapons, affray, inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent and handling stolen goods.

Adam Miller, 34, also of Tudno Place, Penlan, had pleaded guilty to criminal damage and possession of an offensive weapon. He too was described as having an extensive record including affray, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, arson and criminal damage. Both men were acquitted at trial of violent disorder in relation to the Rhodfa’r Brain incident. Mr Dallimore was also found not guilty.

With discounts for their guilty pleas, Paul Jenkins and Christopher Jenkins were both sentenced to 18 months in prison, and Corey Jenkins to 22 months. Lisa Jenkins received an 18-month sentence suspended for 18 months, and was ordered to complete 250 hours of unpaid work and abide by a nightly curfew for two months.

Miller was sentenced to nine months in prison. Thomas, whose conviction at trial for the wounding of Miss Choi added significantly to his sentence, received 26 months in prison.

Those given immediate custodial sentences will serve 40% of their terms behind bars before being released on licence to complete the remainder in the community. The case was prosecuted following a police investigation into the disorder, which had been captured in detail on CCTV and mobile phone footage recovered from the scene.

Swansea man jailed after police find massive cannabis haul in garden shed

South Wales Police officers raided Jason Lewis’s property on November 18 last year following intelligence that it was being used for the “large-scale supply” of cannabis.

Swansea Crown Court heard the search uncovered 20kg of cannabis worth around £95,000 hidden in bags and boxes in a garden shed. Police also seized cannabis resin valued at £10,000, diazepam tablets, an extendable baton, and £18,000 in cash – including £1,520 in £20 notes concealed in a shelving unit.

Prosecutor Emily Bennett told the court officers executed the search warrant just before 7am after receiving intelligence about large-scale drug supply at the address.

Lewis, of Pentregethin Road, answered “no comment” to all questions in his police interview. He later pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis with intent to supply, possession of cannabis resin with intent to supply, possession of diazepam with intent to supply, possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, and possession of criminal property.

The court heard Lewis has six previous convictions for 11 offences, including two cannabis supply offences from 2012 for which he received a 12-week suspended sentence.

Sentencing Lewis, Judge Huw Rees said:

“Whether he continues to involve himself with drugs was a matter only for him,” but warned that “if the defendant does continue offending, his sentences would only get longer and longer.”

Lewis will serve up to half his 32-month sentence in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community.

Swansea woman and ex‑husband jailed after cocaine bust

Dramatic footage released by South Wales Police shows the moment Lisa Regan, 53, from Portmead, Swansea, was arrested as she stepped off a plane — bringing down a drugs empire she ran with her ex‑husband.

Regan and Phillip Jones, 44, from Brynhyfryd, Swansea, oversaw a cocaine supply chain that flooded Swansea and Ammanford. Investigators found images on their phones showing Jones cutting up a kilo of cocaine, while the pair laundered their profits through a café in Blaenymaes.

At Swansea Magistrates Court in October, Jones admitted being concerned in the supply of cocaine, two counts of possession with intent to supply, concealing criminal property and driving while disqualified. He was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison. Regan admitted similar offences and was handed seven years and four months.

Police also uncovered a Carmarthenshire link. Tracy Lewis, 54, from Llandybie, was buying large amounts of cocaine from Regan and running his own operation in Ammanford.

He admitted multiple offences including supply of cocaine, crack cocaine and cannabis, possession with intent to supply, and possession of criminal property. He was jailed for six years.

Sergeant Luke Tucker said:

“Between them, Lisa Regan, Phillip Jones and Tracy Lewis were responsible for flooding our local communities with significant quantities of Class A and B drugs.

“They thought they were above the law – but they will have been devastated to discover their operations weren’t as impenetrable as they thought. Their removal from society has made our streets far safer and better off.”

Clase man jailed after police find him asleep in car with heroin

Jason Grove, 34, from Clase, was arrested in June last year after officers responded to reports of an intoxicated man in a vehicle on Honeysuckle Drive. When they arrived, they found Grove asleep in the driver’s seat with the door open. A search uncovered amphetamine in his pocket, while a lock knife and a small silver case containing heroin, weighing scales and foil were found inside the car.

South Wales Police said Grove later admitted possessing amphetamine for personal use but initially denied involvement in drug supply. He went on to plead guilty to possession of heroin and amphetamine, possession with intent to supply diamorphine, and possession of a bladed article in a public place.

Detective Constable Samuel Tobin said:

“It is clear that Jason Grove had a significant quantity of illegal drugs in his possession which he intended to sell to other drug users. Jason was yet another cog in the drug trade wheel which blights our towns and cities. The damage these drug dealers do to our communities is immeasurable, and they are solely motivated by their own financial greed, and care nothing for the welfare of those they sell the drugs to.”

At Swansea Crown Court, prosecutors told the judge that the heroin seized was enough to make more than 50 individual street deals. Recorder Victoria Hillier said Grove had “the means to measure and prepare deals” and stressed that trafficking Class A drugs was always treated as a serious offence because of the harm caused to users and communities.

The court heard Grove had no previous convictions and had turned to drugs following the death of his grandmother. His advocate, Andrew Evans, said Grove had been an “ad hoc street dealer” supplying to a small number of people to fund his own habit, and that he had supportive family ties to help him rebuild his life after release.

South Wales Police said Grove’s case also highlighted the dangers of knife crime. DC Tobin added:

“Grove was also found in possession of a lock knife. With this week being Operation Sceptre Intensification Week, our officers will again take the opportunity not only to carry out enforcement activity against those carrying knives in public; they will also be out educating the public and sharing wider awareness of knife crime.”

Grove was sentenced to 30 months in prison, with the court confirming he will serve up to half in custody before being released on licence.

Police have urged anyone with concerns about drug dealing or vulnerable people being targeted by organised crime groups to contact them on 101, or report anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. In emergencies, the public should dial 999.

Recently it was discovered that a Methodist pastor was dealing meth. Now we can’t all be in the glamourous business of drug dealing, but here are some other things the religious might be a front for.

If you guessed that a yogi might be a gateway religious icon for yoga, you would be very right. The words are very similar for a reason and lends credence(creedence?) to the rest of our examples.

Have you ever thought that Presbyterians were a bit too nosy for their own good? Well, they might be a front for the press of the world. Always searching for that big scoop that will make a big name for themselves.

Many protestant clergymen are known as ministers. This word is also a verb as to minister to the sick. These twisted people might rejoice in giving service. That’s sick, itself, needing more ministering.

Lutherans could be a front for luthiers, you know, those who make and fix stringed instruments. So if you hear a hoedown coming from behind a Lutheran church, you know what is what.

Monks could be a front for Monkees lovers. They do their awesome chanting until no one is within earshot, then break into, “Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees, and people say we monkey around, but we’re too busy singing to put anybody down.”

The priesthood could mean any criminal priest. Maybe he sells meth like his methodist friend. Or perhaps he’s known for other crimes.

Rabbis could be a front for selling rabbits. Do you have a petting zoo? Go see the rabbi for your rabbits and other small, yet cute, mammal needs.

No matter how much you give to nuns, they are giving none away. After all, they are too busy being married to Jesus.

Anglicans may think they are a front for angels. But they are too busy eyeing the angles for their best advantage.
