This is what happens when people reach levels of illusion where they believe they can drink Rogor or Doom and pray to god to live. Or just pray and they are rich without working. Oh Mother Zambia
Very sad development.
SO, we now have two Pastors on the run in Zambia!! One for defiling girls during Christian conselling, and another for administering poison to deliver a man from witchcraft!!
Meanwhile, churches are telling HIV and terminally ill people not to take medication, but to heal by prayer(for which they pay lots of money to the Pastors).
Gov’t needs to look into the new criminal problems introduced by the rogue Churches.
Just close down all these new sects mushrooming in Zambia. Leave the old faithfuls like UCZ, SDA, JWitness, etc.
I’m afraid everyone is delusional in thinking any religion or politician is good. They are all illusions. The whole population of Earth is deluded. Religion and politics are the same, worshipping Gods that have never been proven to exist. Try just having good virtues and morals, those alone are what is needed on this planet – and they are not the sole domain of religion.
These pagan Conmen masquerading as Pastors need to be nailed hard by the law. Simplistic minds.
Poor guy died believing he had drunk “Holy water” this is what is killing.many blind followers of con-men preachers like tb joshua & Co.
