[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
We thought our impression of this man couldn’t get any worse.
To refresh everybody, a South Carolina pastor named John-Paul Miller, or J.P., broke the information to his flock that his spouse had died by suicide. It was weird and sus how he shared particulars even the cops weren’t but able to disclose. The entire thing was sketchy — nevertheless it seems to have been true, close to as authorities can inform. Mica Miller did appear to die by self-inflicted gunshot wound, with nobody else round.
Nonetheless, J.P.’s odd sermon had inadvertently introduced nationwide consideration to the accusations towards him. It seems Mica — who had not too long ago left J.P. — had been vocal on social media about escaping an abusive relationship. She was even advising different girls who wanted to get out of poisonous relationships with so-called Christian males who didn’t deal with them effectively. She additionally filed reviews with police about his habits after she left.
Since her demise, Mica’s household and associates have spoken out about J.P.’s allegedly abusive habits. We realized the pastor had a felony file which included a number of counts of aggravated assault and battery. We additionally quickly realized he met Mica when he was already married with children, and she or he was only a little one going to his church. ICK. The entire thing is terrible.
Associated: Mica Informed Sister If She Ended Up Shot In The Head, It Was Her Ex
Effectively, J.P. determined to interrupt his silence on the matter in an interview with NewsNation on Friday. And it is without doubt one of the most unhinged issues we’ve ever seen.
“I Tried Elevating Her From The Lifeless”
First off? J.P. instructed interviewer Wealthy McHugh he went to the morgue to see his ex’s physique — and tried to make use of his godly powers to RESURRECT HER! Sure, he’s severe. He defended the disturbed motion by saying:
“Yeah, I attempted elevating her from the useless as a result of you realize what? If it had labored, we’d have a complete completely different story. God forbid me not attempt it and I all the time questioned the remainder of my life ‘would it not have labored?’”
You wouldn’t must surprise! It was by no means going to work! The one means it will is in the event you really have been imbued with some form of divine tremendous powers. Is that what this man is telling us he believes? He continued:
“Jesus did it. Elisha did it. I needed to attempt. There’s a number of different individuals within the Bible. So sure, if someone I really like greater than something on the planet has handed away, what I imagine to be an early demise, you higher imagine I’m going to attempt to… In Jesus’ identify, increase her from the useless.”
This man is evaluating himself to Jesus. He actually thought there was an opportunity he may increase the useless.
Far be it from us to attempt to diagnose anybody, however the phrase “narcissism” actually involves thoughts right here. Additionally, the phrase “nuts.” However that’s not all. Notice that wording he used to explain his spouse — “someone I really like greater than something on the planet.” OK, now let’s discuss his response to questions on her mysterious demise…
He Does Not Need Us To Neglect His Alibi
The pastor is fast within the interview to voice his alibi, saying:
“I used to be in Charleston with about 100 individuals from my children’ faculty. We have been all collectively on the soccer fields that day. Afterwards, after the soccer sport, someone was with me the complete time… someone that I really like greater than the rest on planet Earth… was with me. And we went purchasing in Charleston. And we bought meals in Charleston. And there’s all of the receipts from that all through the time.”
Yeah, keep in mind how he talked about his not too long ago deceased ex? After which he talks about his new girlfriend nearly word-for-word the very same means. Gross.
“Extremely Euphoric Angle”
In one other unusual declare — seemingly attempting to bolster the suicide story — J.P. claimed Mica tried to commit suicide a number of occasions prior to now, and that she was glad when she did it — like she was within the pictures police launched of her closing hours.
Miller defined she would have been “euphoric” attempting to kill herself:
“Somebody despatched me screenshots of the Dick’s pawn store footage, the place she’s smiling, which out of the six or seven occasions that she tried to commit suicide prior to now, solely a kind of occasions was she depressed. The opposite occasions, she was very euphoric. And he or she would get up and say, ‘I feel I’m presupposed to die as we speak.’”
The Letter
J.P. additionally confirmed he wrote Mica a letter apologizing for grooming and abusing her, in addition to for posting a topless picture of her on the web. However he now denies doing these issues, saying he simply wrote that letter to get her to take her treatment:
“I did it as a result of the evening that she was with me, the final evening we have been collectively for 4 hours, at one level, as a result of the entire 4 hours I’m attempting to get her to take her medication. And he or she’s saying, ‘I’ll take my medication and I’ll come dwelling in the event you’ll give me $10,000 and in the event you’ll write me an apology letter.’ That’s why I did it.”
Why within the hell ought to we imagine something he says now? JFC, this man…
