i'm convinced that the past couple months have been lee powers that can destroy the what he said to me was that, you know, i was, i was 14. so if, if i told anyone, you know, the man of god could be facing jail time, which is something that cannot happen. he, he told me that this was to be covenants between himself, myself and god. and that if, if i were to tell anyone i would be breaking the covenant and the punishment for breaking a covenant was death. so it was a sunday finishing on the recordings from the time we see each other is only putting off a smile for the cameras. in reality, thought she was caught in a web of fear and intimidation. we'd have to ment, underwood ever more, goes into his scheme zone. do finally must a distant to speak to her mother will help heart to flee,

story isn't as much as you supported. yes. to also someone punished for telling a story by society. now, all of a sudden you come through so certainly now that we've sent you can't, you can't be a sexual person because how, how else can you be a sexual person? if you assist with the assaulted a group testimony in cottage, many victims to speak out an almost all sort is cut and refreshing $63.00 times as a fripp human trafficking on record tearing. but soon these troubles of, for, from over police intelligence from a higher security, please on informed to that keep them in what offered a bone to you on how head you know, this is a very sad story that evokes a lot of anger. now, while the case is still pending, the glimmer of hope is that passed on more to so has been behind boss for almost 6

years. he's being charged with rape, record sharing, and human trafficking. we'll get back to that story soon. but 1st, we have to say such a big past is not only in south africa, the most perfect and prophecies fucking points and gun. yeah. better privilege during elections, where preachers claim to know outcomes gullible for the west. also, consequently, get groups with some preachers location, all they prosecute say, when the victims reports to the please with freedom of worship and train and guidance goes through the same. these are remain a sensitive one. list is same as clamping down our religious right. the 1st preference no does not use people's respect for religion. about 20 yards. it go is called to the convinced as follows that he was taking them to heaven. and one evening he reported to get them in a church, a bunch of him. about 700 people died. did they come to my 2nd today

was to have this sort court meant of god's claiming supernatural power from predicting footboard on the election results to claiming to cure diseases. like cons. there's tell evangelists allegedly paying people to pretend that they've been healed. this past was asking people to send the money at every opportunity and or recent tragedy sparks and outcry as follows. of the past drug can use coast stock themselves to this in the hope of redemption. kenya has in the past taking steps to regulate some of the churches, but nobody really wants to meddle with were that just freedom. but when tragedy strikes, it's a wake up call. and most churches don't want this happening and the bad ones. clearly it's really happening all across the continent. or have you heard about such fig, past the incidents in your area. so started with us and we're not going to talk. the name about channel is dw underscore the 77 percent. so hey,

feel free and connect with us on that thoughtful fall. let's get back to the issue of fate past this committed crimes. a case in kenya, i sent chills down the spines of many. let's find out more. on the flip side, when you are at the low points in your life, any form of head can be very enticed. kenya wayne stands a gospel for each of your thoughts in it too. it is full of us to 5 on to meet jesus is victim stuff to death. and that starts to quote for $32.00 preachers coming across africa. and then lucky claims i live in catastrophic consequences behind. so is it time to stop dep? welcome to the flip side. because in game, yeah, it's not an isolated one. this preacher truth is going to be gods around us, cause people to eat grass racks. and this one gives fully show us the liquid we met,

at least is just endless. but what's all for just having come on is that the place have an was in the preaching sunday, but capitalize one text or screenshot it. they use each to money too late, people and they used to explain to people's emotions into exploits people's needs. some of these creatures remote shy away from this claim, the extreme was why the condition of language in abject poverty. in some cases, they would use the elite ism and extremism, so that the need of a seem to have direct contact god. and therefore, whatever the safeguards and therefore whatever they say courthouses and then people just do whatever these say toner funded, 60 units and all of the differences between the gospel according to jesus christ and this new so called from there, it goes to see how people say because of all of your needs, come to jesus,

give me all your money and then you'll get health and work ethic stream as it gets a 2nd hold on because of all the because all the partners that kind of be sold well, best of ourselves to death so it's clear that preferred to pigeon is quoted, but the main question is a soul plus birds pretend we stopped. and the original gospel of christ being for the best implementation of the judge party that understands. don't treat another way to prevent this from happening is not clear to speak. so if i could possibly independently just what is quotes the quotes is him in range of from the last government. i'm really just buddies. oh, it's the worship us to protect them from this prospect to purchase. that has been the website. thanks blue out for that. one thing is for sure. that should be a way to protect vulnerable people. for sports and preachers are quite coming

across the continent. back in south africa, we'll look at how some passed as a findings sneaky ways of an origin themselves. on the sunday morning in the old coast of pretoria members of jesus nation together to prepare for their weekly sockets, many of them praying to one prophet shifflett. we should be weeds affectionately referred to as major one. what's your name? so you can to a hitch a v and even make people wealthy. however, such miracles come with a cost concrete guns bring them kosh, cellphones and other valuables, hoping for the profit to provincial into their lives. the,

the remote from industry. because the books, the properties know we have to be phone except smiling from a post. a machine is on the run, wanted full fraud and money laundering. the people give the cause, patients and education funds and lost everything. it went to 19, the profit was arrested out one day, however, he money to feed the country. meanwhile, he's touched, remains active in south africa, written by trusted left nuns. as here in pretoria, the the congregation moved inside. well bond is warming up,

the believe us. there are also allegations that will she to use, discharge to groom young women, full sexual relationships, and fretting those who dare to speak, count to day pasta, my boot, and one of which is beautiful. sounds mix up prophecy for a young woman desperately trying to find a job the after the prophets to be charged members to come to envelopes with money which they

handled but to the pasta. we are not allowed to feeling that despite the allegations of food on sexual assault against their touch, lita, many congregants to fiercely defend him. the people at craig middle court and nobody here the front of my life. just listening to my life, my real human right. i appreciate it. i have the all my life. so whatever the dog, you know, if the word doesn't forgive him, hey, good. the good so little and options believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the jobs,

but best journalist who regularly exposed it's really just comments. like, what's your, your on tv on these blog. uncle solomon has become one of the most vocal i'll put in so friendly, just tell of tons in south africa. this is about the church. this is about our trusted these that are happening by the church for me to advise a few people called preference to. but then nonprofits the full prophets because they keep taking a bunch of people that use women. we take money from people that smart, intelligent, and very good sales people. they can sell anything to you. you just need to package yourself very well, put on time a suit and have a way that you can speak with a target team. get to place the social media long some, some cost, and all that speak the right deceitful language. but the problem is beek on the problem is not limited to south africa. washrooms or receive calls for help from across the continent. recently received a message from a young woman in levels. what last thousands of euros to

a prophet test named. you must see, you must see thanks to options encouragement. the young woman went to the police and opened the case against the massey was no wanted by the authorities. today, i shall just following up on the case a b c. because i see, since he's been arrested, what are the police say, you know, because she has a court case and hopefully some sort of just gonna come to the new place i moved to i was to disclose my address. there might be some of those people watching me or something like that. yeah. so even though you must see is now in police. custody of victims

may still be a true false prophets like cough, often operate as a part of a criminal syndicates with henchmen whose job is to intimidate on spread fia washrooms knows that from a personal experience. some of these people came to my house in the night 3 times and attracting my wife. course, nothing to do with it for coming to kill you. what children and the sad part of it is. no one is doing much body. we have say we kind of nice way to live site state time to play nice. it's time for us to set this up is that's right. we all have a road to play in stopping feet past us from using and abusing people. people like to comb, financing from move. well we had at the end of the report have been trying to draw

attention to the problem. but there is constant of position. so low in 2017 for quite us each of the former comfortable rights and language commission . i investigated l. criminal organizations or operating food touches. she interviewed hundreds of touch leaders and victims under commended ways to establish proper office site. report was ignored by political leaders and ultimately, course didn't quite nicely show of a huge jump. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes. a, it's a, it's a so static problem is this a sad problem, but it's unfair putting it to kind of problem because you find that when those 10 free elections, for instance, sets in political prices go to this churches looking for, for you kind of step that's a system,

it's a nice the closest to forgetting folks said. so which is where i do this at some point today i realized okay, leave them being, they put it. this is getting the find. oh it is votes for what? a bucket preferred shift. i wish it is, jesus nation. charging pretoria, putnam a boon. the works through the wrongs to pray for each member individually up to 6 hours of service hungry guns instead of tons. the

when confronted with crimes of his prophet customer who has a simple explanation, i always refer people to the bible because the same. the same challenges that we encounter today is 7, some of the exact same challenges we find in the bible. and because the bible says, track the shipment in the ship with scott to, for the any orders, tries to strike the ship with which he did with the profit is put so much fun on profit ship would appreciate it so that the people who are not strong in faith, they will fall away from the system. that was some touch leaders like plus talked

to young and the mobile and continued to justify the actions of the prophets. others find the strength to move on up to spending. yeah. as you know, so if i was to escape the hickman chevy is on the has phone, had a lot for music once again the, even though the child for her to me into almost also has been ongoing for 6 years. zonati has no fever and has started a successful singing 3 a as a solo used. she's currently working on our 2nd album and has been able to move on with the help of months of counseling to do with her past. and that's all that, and that is, you know, telling this kind of story shouldn't change or alter the course of your life and all the dreams that you had before. so in the story or before any of this kind of this kind of stuff has happened to you shouldn't change just because, you know,

this is happened. he's still you, your genes are still valid. and i think, and i think that's really important, let us just not using your identity to something that's which from zoned in of us. we know how difficult it is to break freeform uninvited women. that changed people. we don't, my fiance, co logical tara, an exec social pressure on its members to fully 9, but we also know how important it is to do so for yourself and others. or you may find yourself in a similar situation. speak out, but seek assistance is going to be a lot of backlash. even from people that you know, within the judge, your friends, you're not going to fight the system, but expect the system to fight make so say in spite

fights we have to speak as difficult as they may have the no matter how difficult it may be. we must be encouraged to speak out against any form of injustice. that's the only way to fight it and help make the well, the better place for you. and for me, you know, don't forget to follow us on youtube, facebook and instagram. and of course, check out a new tape. talk channel with a name, dw underscore, that's 77 percent. it's always a pleasure to hear from you. that's where we draw the captain's. thanks for sharing your time with us until next time. bye for now.
