Jessica: 作为TB Joshua的信徒，我在Prayer Mountain目睹了各种奇怪的仪式，包括使用剑、十字架和照片。这些仪式发生在远离公众视线的祈祷小屋里，营造了一种神秘和恐惧的氛围。TB Joshua声称这些仪式是为了寻求神的帮助和宽恕，但实际上却充满了操纵和控制。 Bisola: 我相信TB Joshua拥有某种精神力量，能够吸引并影响人们。他的魅力和神秘感让人们对他产生敬畏和依赖，从而更容易被操纵和控制。 Annika: 我在TB Joshua的住所里经历了长期的精神和身体虐待，包括性侵犯。他利用“爸爸”的称呼和频繁的召集，强化了他对信徒的控制，并利用信仰和圣经中的例子来合理化他的暴力行为。我最终逃离了他，但这段经历给我留下了深刻的心理创伤。 Charlie Northcott & Yemisi Adegoke: 通过对多位信徒的采访，我们揭露了TB Joshua的另一面，他利用信仰和精神控制，对信徒进行身体和精神虐待，甚至性侵犯。他的行为严重违背了道德和法律，对信徒造成了巨大的伤害。 匿名信徒: 我在Prayer Mountain目睹了TB Joshua进行的各种奇怪仪式，包括禁止冲洗经期用品、埋剑以及用剑刺穿照片。这些仪式充满了神秘和暴力，目的是为了控制和惩罚那些试图离开或反抗他的人。

Shownotes Transcript

Namibian teenager Jessica gives up everything to join prophet TB Joshua in Lagos. She is taken to a special place, where the church was born, now transformed from a swamp into a lake, with islands and a helipad. As one of a privileged few, she sees strange rituals with swords, crosses and photographs. Back in the church compound, disciples are encouraged to call TB Joshua “Daddy”. Then, Anneka tries to escape. Hosts Charlie Northcott and Yemisi Adegoke unravel a story of miracles, faith and manipulation, carried out by one of the most powerful religious figures of the century.
