[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 reveal. The entire thing was sketchy — but it surely 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.
Nevertheless, J.P.’s odd sermon had inadvertently introduced nationwide consideration to the accusations in opposition to him. It seems Mica — who had lately left J.P. — had been vocal on social media about escaping an abusive relationship. She was even advising different ladies who wanted to get out of poisonous relationships with so-called Christian males who didn’t deal with them properly. She additionally filed reviews with police about his conduct after she left.
Since her loss of life, Mica’s household and buddies have spoken out about J.P.’s allegedly abusive conduct. We discovered the pastor had a felony report which included a number of counts of aggravated assault and battery. We additionally quickly discovered he met Mica when he was already married with children, and he or she was only a baby 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
Nicely, J.P. determined to interrupt his silence on the matter in an interview with NewsNation on Friday. And it is among the most unhinged issues we’ve ever seen.
“I Tried Elevating Her From The Lifeless”
First off? J.P. advised 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 lifeless as a result of you realize what? If it had labored, we’d have an entire totally different story. God forbid me not strive it and I all the time questioned the remainder of my life ‘wouldn’t it have labored?’”
You wouldn’t need to surprise! It was by no means going to work! The one approach it might is for those who truly have been imbued with some type 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 strive. There’s a couple of different folks within the Bible. So sure, if anyone I really like greater than something on the planet has handed away, what I consider to be an early loss of life, you higher consider I’m going to attempt to… In Jesus’ title, increase her from the lifeless.”
This man is evaluating himself to Jesus. He actually thought there was an opportunity he might increase the lifeless.
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. Word that wording he used to explain his spouse — “anyone I really like greater than something on the planet.” OK, now let’s speak about his response to questions on her mysterious loss of life…
He Does Not Need Us To Overlook His Alibi
The pastor is fast within the interview to voice his alibi, saying:
“I used to be in Charleston with about 100 folks from my children’ faculty. We have been all collectively on the soccer fields that day. Afterwards, after the soccer recreation, anyone was with me all the time… anyone that I really like greater than the rest on planet Earth… was with me. And we went procuring 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 lately deceased ex? After which he talks about his new girlfriend nearly word-for-word the very same approach. Gross.
“Extremely Euphoric Perspective”
In one other unusual declare — seemingly attempting to bolster the suicide story — J.P. claimed Mica tried to commit suicide a number of instances up to now, and that she was completely happy 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 instances that she tried to commit suicide up to now, solely a type of instances was she depressed. The opposite instances, she was very euphoric. And he or she would get up and say, ‘I believe I’m imagined to die at present.’”
The Letter
J.P. additionally confirmed he wrote Mica a letter apologizing for grooming and abusing her, in addition to for posting a topless photograph of her on the web. However he now denies doing these issues, saying he simply wrote that letter to get her to take her medicine:
“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 house for those who’ll give me $10,000 and for those who’ll write me an apology letter.’ That’s why I did it.”
Why within the hell ought to we consider something he says now? JFC, this man…
