that's what gripped me into the church. i always loved music. god wanted to be a singer for as long as i, you know, could read and, and just hearing them and how the saying they sounded like angel timothy almost also the touch found setup a single gospel plaid called buttons of the he met sunday on the left in this for quoting a lead singer, she moved to the touch of drones together. we talked to the young women. they believed these to be this type of this thing. 3 is just to realize i'm a tough of really intention, fungible and away from the friends and from the costa, started to sexually abuse them. when he rips only for the 1st time, she can use a mind, i'm convinced that the past couple months have been to the 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 i 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 dis. 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 because she was caught in a web of fear and intimidation. we'd have to ment, underwood, ever mol goes into his scheme zone. do finally must a distant, to speak to her mother, will help part, to flee, to touch and go to the police in 2017 special forces of police. arrested. don't want to also at the airport before he could escape to his narrative nigeria,

witness gave a herring testimony of her paws to timothy on the toaster. and they just the 6 we violated her. at the age of 14, he is elia. the biggest lie that he's ever told was that he's a man of good, or he is an abuse. he is a predictor. he does not care about other people's feelings. he is not sophistic and the world revolves around him. it's not talked about and how like a survivor has to do so much work to literally close himself out of this image, this survive oh, this victim image and all the expectations that come with it off the telling your story. who isn't as much as you supported? yes. you're also someone punished for telling a story by society. now all of a sudden you countries, so certainly now that we've sent you can't, you can't be

a sexual person cause how, how else can you be a single person? if you assist with the assaulted a group testimony in cottage, many victims to speak out. an almost also is cutting to the 1st thing $63.00 times as a fripp human trafficking on truck a tearing. but soon these troubles for from over police intelligence from a higher security, please on informed to that keep them in what offered a bone to on head you know, this is a very sad story that evokes a lot of anger. now, while the case is still pending, the gabriel hope is that past i don't want 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. now,

you have very privileged during elections, web protest claim to know outcomes, valuable for the west. also, consequently, good cubes with some preachers location. all they prosecute say, when you have victims reports to the police with freedom of worship and train and guidance goes through the same. these are remain a sensitive, long list if same as clamping down or religious, right. the 1st preference no does not use people's respect for religion about 20 yards. it go called to the convinced as follows that he was 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 foot to build 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 spots. an outcry as follows. of a pastor at 10 years, 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 very want sadie, it's really happening all across the continent. have you heard about such fake passed the incidents in your area? so i started with us and we're now in tay 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 faith passed as committed crimes occasion. can you sense 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 it ties it. okay, now for instance, it goes to the featured reports in the to it is pull us to fast onto the meat. jesus is victim stuff today and that starts to quote, preferred to preach us 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 us because people to eat grass racks and before you totally 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 appreciate some people capitalize or

one text or screenshot it. they use the money to late people and they used to explain to people that motions into exploits people's needs. some of these creatures remote shy away from this claim, the extreme was wide difficult 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 say 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 partners that kind of be sold. well that's the most of that. so it's clear that 1st started to pigeon 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 still quote to them in range of from the less government i'm really just buddies. oh, it's the washington to protect them from these posts berry, to purchase. that has been the website. things blew out for that. one thing is for sure, that should be a way to protect vulnerable people. for sparts and preachers quite come on across the continent. back in south africa, we look at how some past is a finding sneaky ways of an origin themselves. the name of

that that'd be on a sunday morning in the old coast of pretoria members of jesus mission judge got the to prepare for their weekly songs. many of them praying to one prophet ship that we should be waves of fiction. please refer to as mid to one. what's your claim? see? can q 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 that'd be the remote from industry because the book, the properties. no, we have to be phone except smiling from

a pulse to 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 for sexual relationships and fretting those who dare to speak count to day pasta, my boot, and one of which is beautiful. sounds mix of prophecy for

a young woman desperately trying to find a job. the of the prophets to the church members to cult envelopes with money, which they hand over 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 to the people at craig, middle, and nearby. here the for the for getting my life. just as soon as my life, my real human rights, i presume they have the own my life. so whatever the dog is, you know, if the word doesn't forgive him, hey, good. the sold on options believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the jobs, but best during the list to regularly expose. it's really just comments like will show you on tv on these blog. uncle solomon has become one of the most vocal up with and so for me, just tell have tons in so tough because this is about the church. this is about

atrocities that are happening by the church for me to advise a few people called preference dividend, nonprofit stuff for perfect because they keep taking advantage of people. they abuse women, we take money from people that smart intelligence, very good sales people. they can sell anything to you. you just need to package yourself very well put in on time a suit to 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 deceitful language, but the problem is beek on the problem is not limited to south africa. options 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, must see. thanks to options, encouragement. the young woman went to the police and opened the case against you must see was not wanted by the authorities. today i shall see just following

up on the case the 3 d. 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 going to come the new place i moved to, i was to disclose my address. there might be some people watching me or something like that. yeah. so i made the screen even though you must see, is now in police. custody of victims may still be true. false prophets like ha, often operates as a part of a criminal syndicates with henchmen whose job is to intimidate on spread fia

options. knows that from a personal experience, some of these people came to my house in the night 3 times and attracting my wife, who was not going 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 to live say state time to play nice is it's time for us. oh, just that this if it is that's right. we all have a role to play in stopping feet past this for me using and abusing people. people like to comb financing from move. well, we had at the end of the report having trying to draw attention to the problem. but there is constant of position. so low in 2017 football equinox each of the former comfortable rights and language commission. i

investigated all 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 should prove a huge jump. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes, a, it's a, it's a so static problems. it's a sad problem, but it's unfair putting it to kind of problem because to find that when the sped for elections, for instance, sets in political prices go to this searches looking for, for you kind of step that's a system. it's a nice the closest to forgetting folks said. so this is what it is. at some point today i realized, okay, leave them being,

they put it, this is getting the band. oh, this votes for what? a bucket preferred shift. i wish you these jesus mission charging pretoria past time, a boon the works through the wrongs to pray for each member individually up to 6 hours of service hungry guns are in a set of trends. the

when confronted with crimes of these prophets bust him up, wound as a simple explanation. always refer people to the bible because the same. the same challenges that we encounter today is 7 to one of the exact same challenges we find in the bible. and because the bible says, track the shipment and the ship will scott to so the enemy orders tries to strike the ship with which he did with the profits he put so much fun on profit ship, appreciate it so that the people who are not strong in faith, they will fall away from the system. it was some touch leaders like busta to young and the mobile and continue 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 hickman. chevy is on the has found
