was processed and prophesied fucking points and got now. yep, very privileged during elections, where protest claim to new outcomes gullible for the west. also, consequently, get you with some preachers occasionally prosecute, say, when the victims reports to the police with freedom of worship and train and guidance goes through the same. these are remains a sensitive one. list is same as clumping down our religious right. the 1st preference no does not use people's respect for religion. about 20 yards. it go called to the convinced is follow us, but to us taking them to heaven. 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 powers from predicting switchboard on 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 a recent tragedy sparks an outcry as follows. of the past drug tennis coast, stuff himself to death 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 they want a clearly, it's really happening all across the continent. have you heard about such feet past the incidents in your area? so started with us. and we're now in tate 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 point in your life, any form of head can be very interested. can you waste on a go for each of your thoughts into to it is pull us to fast on to meet jesus is victim stuff today and that starts to quote for $32.00 preachers come on cost africa and then lucky claims i live in catastrophic consequences. behind so is it time to stop that? welcome to the flip side, because in kenya, it's not an isolated one. this preacher truth is going to be gods around. don't ask his people to eat grass racks. and before you totally show us, the liquid we met, at least is just endless. but what's all it is for just having come on is that the place has an was in the appreciate. some people capitalize or

one text or teacher it, they use it to money related 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 language in abject poverty. in some cases they would use the elite is in an extreme, is in so that the need of a seem to have the right content. good. and therefore, whatever the safeguards and therefore whatever they say courthouses and then people just do whatever these toner funded fixed. you need to know the differences between the gospel according to jesus christ and this new so called from there it goes to help people say because of all of your needs, come to jesus, give me all your money and then you get health and work ethic street gets a 2nd hold on because of all the because all the appointments that kind of be sold

. well that's the most of that. so it's clear that from start to preaching is, quote, is what the main question is. a soul plus birds bridge and we stop and those, you know, gospel of custody and for the best initial, the judge party that understands, don't treat another way to prevent this from happening is not clear to speak so back to possibly independent religious bodies could spoke to them in range of from the less government i'm really just bodies. oh, it's the other night in washington to protect them from these posts berry, to purchase. that has been the flip side. thanks blue. out for that. one thing is for sure, that should be a way to protect vulnerable people. for sparts, he preaches a quite coming across the continent. back in south africa, we'll look at how some past is a finding sneaky ways of an origin themselves. on the

. 2 on a sunday morning in the old coast of pretoria members of jesus, nation, touch god, the to prepare for the a weekly songs. many of them praying to one prophet ship, but we should be ways of fiction. please refer to as mid to one. what's your claim? see come to a heads a v and even make people wealthy. however, such miracles come at a cost concrete guns, bring them cush, cellphones and other valuables, hoping for the profiting provincial deadlines. the end of the property is no. we have to be phone except smiling from a pasta machine is on the run,

wanted full fraud and money laundering. the people give the cause. patients and education funds and lost everything in 2019. the profit was arrested out one day, however, he money to feed the country. meanwhile, these 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 machine to use, discharge to groom young women, full sexual relationships, and fretting those who dare to speak out today plus the my boot and one of which is

beautiful sounds mix of prophecy for a young woman desperately trying to find a job the after the process 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 liter,

many congregants to sleep, defend him. the people a great middle court and nobody here the in my life. just listen to my life. my real human, right? i appreciate they have the own my life. so whatever mucho and the dog, you know, if the word doesn't forgive him, hey, good the so little nations believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the defense, but best journalist who regularly explodes, it's really just comments. like, what's your, your on tv, on these blog, uncle solomon has become one of the most vocal opponents of religious tele tons, insults africa. this is about the church. this is about the atrocities that are

happening by the church for me to advise a few people cold preference to that non profit scaffold perfect. because they keep taking a bunch of people that use women. we take money from people that smart, intelligent, and very good sales people because they have anything to you. you just need to package yourself very well, put on a tie in a suit and have a way that you can speak with a tal routine. get a place the social media long, some, some cost and all that. speak the right, the city for language. but the problem is big. 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 this named, you must see, you must see. thanks to adams encouragement, the young woman went to the police and opened the case against you must see was no

wanted by the authorities to day i shall just following up on the case because of the 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 going to come the new place i moved to i was to disclose my address wasn't there might be sold a dose of the people watching me or something like that yeah, so even though you must see is now in police custody. a victims may still be true, false prophets, like how often operates as a part of a criminal syndicates with henchmen whose job is to intimidate and 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 brought them 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, say stick time to play. nice old it's time for us. oh, just that 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 football equinox each helluva,

the former cultural rights and language commission. i investigated no criminal organizations, what operating full charges she interviewed, hundreds of touch leaders and victims under commended ways to establish profile of a site. report was ignored by political leaders and ultimately cost it and whatnot as it shall move a huge jump. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes. a, it's a, it's a seller's problem. is this a sad problem? but it's unfair putting it to kind of problem because you find that when it's time for elections, for instance, sets in political patches. go to this searches, looking for, for you kind of step that's a system. it's a nice because this to forget to folks say, so this is what it is. at some point i realized ok,

leave them being, they see it, they will put it. this is going to find oh, it says 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 are in this type of trends. the

when confronted with crimes of these prophets post them up with the as a simple explanation. 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 and the ship with scott to so the and then the orders tries to select the ship with which he did with the profit is put so much filed on perfect ship, appreciate it so that the people who are most strong in the face they will fall away from the system. the. 1 was some touch leaders like busta to young, the mobile, and continued to justify the actions of the prophets. others find the strength to move on up to spending years in

a safe house to escape the hitman. chevy is on the has phone a lot for music once again the, even though the child for her to mental, much also has been ongoing for 6 years, is on the has no fear. other started a successful thinking through you as a solo used she is 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 things that you had before. so in the story before any of this kind of this kind of stuff has happened to you shouldn't change just because, you know, this has happened is still you, eugene, is that 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 free from uninvited women. that changed people with the 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 if 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 be if you fight the system but expect just to fight, make so say in spite fights we have to speak as difficult as that may be 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. tell me. did you like hallmark?
