Toxic Pastor Humiliates Wife In Sermon, She Leaves Him, Then Found Mysteriously Dead In River

[@Madam2034]

As a person who was moved around to different churches. I learned most pastors tell on themselves in sermons all the time. For example one pastor said they struggled with materialism and money. Then they were later fired for embezzlement of church funds 💀

[@1dvs_bstd]

My step father is a Pastor and it's crazy how many of these monster's traits he has including publicly airing out marital problems disguised as sermons. Every. Damn. Time. Whenever the opportunity arises, he delights in telling any one who will listen how he's done this and that and how she's unrepentant, not born again, a sinner, etc etc. This shit was coming from a man secretly giving money to women in the church without my Mother's knowledge. I just cut to the chase and straight up told him, if anything happens to my Mother, I won't stop my revenge with him (I really, really hate the guy). He knows me enough to know I'm not bluffing.

[@lawbnowercuj]

yeaa my best friend back in primary school's dad was a pastor and he was pretty abusive to her apparently, also when i went to a sleepover at her house i drew a smiley face on my friend's arm when she was sleeping and he started screaming at me that its bullying, like bro why are u yelling at a random 12 year old u never met

But from what it sounds like, they really couldn't legally do anything because she was married to the guy. I dated a guy once who's ex started harassing him once she found out that he'd moved on. They'd purchased a house together, but she moved out once they'd split up. She literally threw a rock through the window one night, so he went to the cops, thinking they'd do something about it, but they told him that since her name was on the deed, she was not doing anything illegal by damaging her own property and they couldn't do a thing about it. She'd also just show up at the house whenever she wanted. She even peed in his truck and told him what she'd done, but the truck was legally hers as well, so again, the cops couldn't do a thing.

[@purpleplatypus97]

Psych student here. I can tell he was researching the concept of 'human hacking' based on how he communicated around the DISC test in that one sermon. He did not use it as Christopher intended when he authored his books, so the clear lack of empathy is confirmed. His selfish actions were not impulsive, as he showed those traits in other areas of his life, not just in the affairs. On top of that, his misogynistic tendencies and growing levels of inner hatred both to the world around him, and his personal relationships are clear signs of decline. This is a very dangerous man, being that he is already in a position of power. He is showing multiple behaviors and signs of those who go on to become cult leaders. If you have a pastor who is making you feel less than or otherwise belittled, that is not a good sign. Religions should make you feel safe and at peace, not the opposite. Trust your gut insticts and intuition. An RUN at the first signs of anyone trying to thought police you, or try to speak as if your thoughts are caused by forces only they see. People like this mantake advantage of those who are highly spiritual, and it is better to be safe if you are ever unsure. If any boundaries are crossed with no regard on the impact on your emotions, well-being, or safety, they will often continue and escalate.

[@Bubblegum-bword]

Thank you for your comment, I’m personally a Muslim and went to one „church“ for Jehovas witnesses and it felt strange to me. In a mosque you only pray on the women’s side get to hear the call to prayer and on Fridays you get a little lecture over the speakers in the women’s room from the imaam and he answers questions as well as he can but most importantly never airs out anyone’s dirty laundry we donate to little boxes nobody really sees you do it if anyone is judgy in the mosque you can just leave and having men and women separated ALWAYS made me feel so at ease and protected as a child. There’s hardly any room for inappropriate things when you’re both separated and there is no such thing as a „youth imaam“ because that just sounds inappropriate especially from grown man to little girl. So church always confused me a lot and I’m glad I didn’t grow up like that because I was very naive as a child very insecure and someone like that could’ve easily taken advantage over me. It was a lot harder to grasp why so many Christian’s left the religion once they were grown up but I see now some churches play a big role and if the mosque were the same for me all my life I would’ve left too and I still did for a short period of time but nobody shamed me I came back on my own nobody keeps track of you nobody laughs at you it’s peaceful. I can’t imagine the pain these women or better said young girls must’ve felt all their life. It’s sickening

See I remember her sister saying she said if she gets shot or killed it’s him not her. So what I’m thinking maybe he did hire someone or did it himself and she was at the point where she just didn’t want to fight anymore with this monster. OR my other thought was maybe when she was on the phone talking calm it was because he or whoever was hired threatened to hurt someone close to her like her family and she might have felt defeated I noticed too when I listened to the 911 call she talks slow in some parts and also pauses like she might be with someone and she sounded as if she was trying to drop hints that someone was with her. I saw somewhere too that she bought the gun for her protection and HE KNEW IT! He knew she was gonna buy a gun and himself or again someone he hired followed her that day to the store. Again even if she did in the end take her own life…her blood is on his hands for the way he psychologically and physically abused her.

[@ErinMason-pl6om]

I had the thought about the security footage of her going into that store to purchase the gun,and having a large tattoo of a cross on her hand.Now when shown standing at the counter,both hands were placed on top of the counter. That shot of both her hands were pretty easy to see and there was absolutely no sign of a large,probably quite dark colored tattoo of a cross on either hand. What if it wasn't her entering the store to buy a gun but the woman he was alleged to have cheated with Sue. Just a thought but enquiring minds would be interested to know if anyone else had the same thought.

He was charged with sodomy with child, indecent liberties with child and indecent acts with another. The girl was 8 years old and the documents state it was a family member. It happened a long time ago but in my personal opinion, as well as people in the community i've talked to, it's absolutely disgusting that the church let him have a leadership position at that church where he's going to be working with children. that church is just sketchy and weird in a lot of ways.

I think it's high time the congregation begin to revolt. Because he/she is a pastor doesn't mean they can dabble into areas where they have no experience or authority. People need to start walking out during sermons. Misogyny and patriarchy is so embedded into religion, it's scary.

[@TheAwesomes2104]

I mean, when you think you have the correct answers to unknowable questions, like "Was the universe created?" "What happens to us when we die?" Then, it's really not surprising to think you have answers to everything else too.

[@Taewills]

Because they know updated facts are responsible for the decline of believers. So many pastors are trying to combat that by speaking on psychological issues. If they do it with authority (fake it till you make it), learn buzzwords, then many followers don’t even question what’s being preached from the pulpit.

[@mikchimin]

It's why I really love my church. They value historical context, and theology. There's always context, it's not just cherry picking verses and preaching your backwards beliefs. Many of my pastors have Masters and Doctorates about Biblical Theology from credited universities. They know what they're talking about. But not all pastors do. Pastors are humans too, and they mess up, and they have the ability to be evil, just like anyone else

[@Taewills]

@@mikchimin Theology and psychiatry/ psychology aren’t remotely the same. Theology isn’t evidence based, regardless of the accredited university in which the degree is received.

One of the many terrible things he said to me was “if women were in power, we would still be in the dark ages because women are less intelligent than men” he actually believes that men are better than women in every way. And we had been together for a long time at this point. How did I never know that he felt this way about women? He has a good relationship with his mom too. Another one of the terrible things he said was that all women were w***s and liars and that’s all they would ever be. The only thing they are good for having kids. That’s their only purpose.

However, I have worked with patients with schizophrenia who have become very unwell and psychotic, where they don’t recognise family etc, but they are never only on lithium if they have both BP and schizophrenia ; all of the symptoms when they become very unwell and need assistance are generally extremely noticeable but can be treated. I’m just not sure about his allegations, more people would notice when someone becomes so unwell, also, slurred speech can be an extrapyramidal side effect of atypical antipsychotics, but then he’s saying she wasn’t taking her medication so even that doesn’t make sense.

How did her body get so far away in a still body of water. Her father said there was bruising on her hands…so many discrepancies unanswered. There needs to be justice for Mica, and JP needs to answer for his actions.

[@KaileyB616]

That fisherman is suspect AF! First of all, who in the hell would pick up some random person's stuff that they spotted on the shore from their fishing boat, go through all of it, take it with them back to their vehicle, drive off with it, and come back later in a different vehicle with the stuff to give to the police?? he claims he left because he needed a lighter, but why did he come back in a different vehicle??

[@user-kx5en8dg7u]

@@KaileyB616 also, hearing a gunshot in a non hunting area and not calling the police? maybe its bc im a woman, but if im in an area that is not for hunting and i hear a gunshot, i wouldnt investigate but i would immediately call 911 and try to get to safety

[@karenhill4136]

How convenient that jps friend was in the vicinity when Micah "offs " herself.....

[@NikkiC777]

And it's not just the shell casings her body was suspiciously far away from either. Her father said in an interview that her body was over 100 feet away from the actual firearm and also not anywhere near her purse either. So I agree it's super sketchy and more of and investigation should have been done. They owed her that much, to at least give her death a decent investigation, before making their assumptions based off that call.

“She warned everyone that her ‘armed’ husband would shoot her, and then she was shot. Obviously suicide.” Sometimes police’s conclusions REALLY sound like Madlibs.

I think it's telling that in the /walk away/ vid their priorities show. She: "WALK. AWAY." He: " This will be on facebook in a few hours" She: "You'll be in jail in a few hours."

All the “shows” he put on was just him trying to create a storyline/paper trial. He wanted everyone to think she was crazy so when he kills her (allegedly) he can say well I already told y’all she was off her meds and crazy etc. The whole adding her bf to the group chat while accusing her of all kinds of things was his way of creating a witness.

Imagine staying with someone who literally won’t let you sleep. He is the definition of a narcissist

[@itsalwaysteatime3803]

My ex partner would do this and then would wait until I fell asleep and then jump on me and attack me . I'm 5ft2 and around 100 pounds . He was 6ft and he weighted 195 pounds and he boxed . This sometimes would go on for days with him attacking me until he was so out of breath he would collapse into the sofa. He would do this over days and days I was so exhausted and in such pain and so afraid of him I just did what he said . I tried to escape a few times I jumped out the bedroom window onto the porch roof and ran through my neighbour hood he ran after me tackled me in the street and dragged me back into the house and people where watching and took their kids inside.. Another time he punched me repeatedly while driving at like 70 mph he nearly crashed into the motorway barrier. He threw me out of a moving car and threw a massive suitcase on top of me and was kicking me back down into the ditch and ripping my clothes off the only reason he stopped is because a truck full of Irish Gypsy men stopped and threatened him . I had to plan my escape because his dad would help track me down when I ran away. Eventually I got away from him because he went to prison on drugs charges but he still tries to stalk my social media and my families social media.we split up 12 years ago . Police never helped me only asked why I didn't just leave..while I had broken ribs and clumps of hair missing my thighs were black from him pinching and punching my inner thighs while he was driving. I now have a nice partner who my ex is afraid of . And I have a big Pitbull who loves me and protects me so I'm not afraid anymore but I still think if he ever has a breakdown I'm Gona need to take extra measures to protect myself. I've told all my friends if I ever go missing or anything happens to me that's suspicious..it was my ex and his father helped him. To be honest I think I have PTSD from it all because he did so many things to over the years that I couldn't even remember everything until I was away from him for a few years . But my comment was more to demonstrate that the reasons why people don't leave is because it's dangerous for them . He would threaten my little sister all the time and that scared me so much and I wanted to keep his violence away from my family and I was ashamed. All his friends and family thought he was a really nice and cool guy . Some men (very few) did see through him but he always distanced from those men, he was a coward. He would never try bully another man like he did to me I'm not ashamed now and I talk about it because so many people go threw these things in silence and if I had of heard another women speaking about her violent partner and openly maybe I wouldn't of felt so ashamed and that I could of gotten more help to leave.

They do that to wear you down, drain you in all ways, your strength, your identity to where they try to make it impossible to leave. They always want to keep you off balance which makes it easier to control a person. You know something is wrong and should or are trying to leave but the person is still trying their best to keep you as broken down and isolated as possible in the process. Then theres the shame and other complex emotions involved. You have to move mountains or have family and loved ones that will move mountains for you so that you can escape alive. Or at the very least, get out hopefully before at least physical ab*se begins. I've had an experience to where I was so ashamed and blamed myself for years. Couldn't even talk about it for fear of being ridiculed and not understood. They also tend to have so many freaking "friends" that would never believe it or at least have a small sense of the 'maybe he/she could' in the back of their mind but will be a ride or d'e for that person. Makes their smear campaigns easier with their flying monkeys. The one time I was involved with an ab'sive narcissist and there was also an age gap...he would not let me sleep if he was in a bad mood whether it was perceived to be my fault or not and would not stop the scary hysterics until he got s*x I didn't want to have even if I was barely awake from sleep deprivation. It wasn't just s*x if you know what I mean, but at the time I was too ashamed to admit to myself or anyone else what it was bc how could I let that happen to myself when I've heard so many other stories about those types of ab'sers, studied it and should know the signs. Its alot more going on than the "why didn't she just leave" that some ppl say willy nilly. It affects every aspect of you, and you're not completely that super strong willed "you" for some time. I found out that he was also cheating and taking adderall that was not prescribed to him in order to be able to stay up all night like that. I feel so bad for Mica bc she seems like she was so full of light and even in her darkest times still trying to shine and be free and he was an evil anchor....that's all monsters like that are- evil anchors. Always trying to dull, ab*se and not let her have any peace. She really did try and to me, it seems like the entire system as well as that looney bin church failed her. She made reports to the police (showed them proof on top of it) and the church and "community" knew what he was doing to her. Even if she pulled the trigger, he still has blood on his hands. He played the main part starting when she was only 15 years old.

I don't think it makes any sense to even entertain the idea she killed herself when she had a fanny pack with $500, cards, car keys, Bible etc. I don't see any explanation other than she tried to escape, he caught her, chased her down and shot her. She probably dropped or threw the pack while running in the hopes it would be a loud hint but it wasn't enough. I mean, she had even said if she was shot in the head it was JP, not her. I don't know how investigators could be confident in her death being her own choice. The money? The location? No note?? Constant threats whenever she tried to escape him? It's ridiculous.
