you know, i was, i was 14. so um, if, if i told anyone, you know, the man of god, it 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 sudden 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 more, goes into his scheme zone defined the must have distant to speak to her mother, will help part to free the charge and go to the police. in 2017 special forces of police arrested but also at the airport before he could escape to his narrative

nigeria, witness gave a hearing testimony of her paws to timothy on the toaster. and they just b, 6 in the 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 god, or he is an abuse. he is a pretty tough. 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 isn't as much as you supported. yes. she also some are punished for telling

a story by society. now, all the 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 single person? if you assist with the assaulted a group testimony in cottage, many victims to speak out, an almost also is currently facing $6.00 to $3.00 times as a fripp human trafficking on truck a 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 on head you know, this is a very sad story that evokes a lot of anger. now, while the case is still pending, the game of 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 gotten very privileged during election, where preachers claim to know outcomes, color before the west, also comes promptly, get cubes with some preachers with kitchen 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 long list is same as clumping down our religious right. the 1st preference, no doubt, abuse people as respect for relate to about 20 yards. a girl called to the convinced as follow us about 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 the saw chord, men of gods,

claiming supernatural powers 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 hilde this past was asking people to send the money at every opportunity. and a recent tragedy sparks an outcry as follows. of the 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. clearly it's really happening all across the continent. have you heard about such a big 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 faith past this. comments and crimes a case and can you sense tells 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 enticing. okay, now for instance, a goes to a preacher reportedly to it is pull us to fast on to meet jesus is victim stuff today. and that starts to quote for $32.00 pretest, come on cost africa and then lucky claims i live in catastrophic consequences behind. so is it time to stump the welcome to the flip side, because in kenya, it's not an isolated one. this preacher truth is going to be god's around us cuz people to eat grass racks. and this one gives for the show us the liquid we met, at least is just endless. but what's all it is bridges having

come on is that the place has an was in the appreciate. some people capitalize or one text or screenshot it. they use each to manipulate people and they used to explain to people's emotions into exploits people's needs. some of these creatures 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 leaders, i seem to have direct contact god and therefore whatever the safeguards and the for whatever they say courthouses and then people just do whatever these toner funded 60 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, just of ourselves from that. so it's clear that from start to preaching is, quote, is what the main question is. a soul plus birds preaching be stopped. and the original gospel of christ being for the best initial that 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 other night in washington to protect them from this prospect 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 sports and features are quite come on across the continent. back inside africa, we look at how some past is a finding sneaky ways of an origin themselves.

the that. 2 when 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 of

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 in 2019. the profit was arrested out on pain. 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 use discharge to groom young women for sexual relationships and fretting those who dare to speak out to

day pasta, my boot, and one of which is the visual 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 liter, many congregants to sleep, defend him. the people a great mental what to get in my life. just listen to my life, my real human right. i appreciate they have the all my life. so whatever mucho and the dog you to know if the word doesn't forgive him, hey god, the so little nations believes that a comfortability must come before forgiveness the judgements but best journalist who regularly exploded certainly just comments like, what's your, your on tv on these blog uncle solomon has become one of the most vocal point and

so friendly. just tell our tons it's on the topic of this is about the church. this is about the atrocities that are happening by the church for me to advise a few people called preference to that nonprofit scaffold. perfect. because they keep taking a bunch of people, they abuse 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 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, 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 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 even though you must see is now in police. custody of victims may still be true. false prophets laycock

often operates as a part of a criminal syndicates with henchmen whose job is to intimidate and spread fear. 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 will come into kill you what the 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. it's time for us to set this up is that's right. we all have a road 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 reports have been trying to draw attention to the problem . but there is constant of position. and so those in 2017,

for quite us each of the former comfortable rights and language commission, i investigated out criminal organizations. what operating food touches she interviewed, hundreds of touch leaders and victims under commended ways to establish proper office site. her report was ignored by political leaders and ultimately hosted in quantization leuva her job. the deputy president said she is staring up too much trouble. yes, a, it's a, it's a so set of problems as a sad problem, but it's unfair putting it to kind of problem because you find that windows 10 for elections, for instance, sets in political patches go to this searches looking for, for you kind of step fix a system is a nice the closest to forgetting folks said. so

this is what it is. at some point today, i realized ok, leave them being they see if they will put it. this is getting a bend. oh, this 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 profit, customer wound has a simple explanation. always refer people to the bible because the same. the same challenges that we encounter today is 7th of board, or the exact same challenges we find in the bible. and because the bible says, track the ship, what's in the ship with got to. so the enemy always tries to select the ship on which you did with the profit. if you put so much, find out one perfect ship, 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 best talk to young and the mobile and continue 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 found a lot for music once again the, even though the child for her to mentor much also has been ongoing for 6 years. zonati has no fee and it started as 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 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 has happened to you, your dreams are still valid. and i think, and i think that's really important. let's just not using your identity to

something that switch from the phone didn't 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 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 fight the system, but expect this to fight make. so it's a in by 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. no good. that's why the patriot dummy
