[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.
Nonetheless, J.P.’s odd sermon had inadvertently introduced nationwide consideration to the accusations towards 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 girls who wanted to get out of poisonous relationships with so-called Christian males who didn’t deal with them nicely. She additionally filed reviews with police about his conduct after she left.
Since her dying, Mica’s household and associates have spoken out about J.P.’s allegedly abusive conduct. We realized the pastor had a prison document 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 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
Properly, 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 Useless”
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 critical. He defended the disturbed motion by saying:
“Yeah, I attempted elevating her from the useless as a result of what? If it had labored, we’d have an entire completely different story. God forbid me not strive it and I all the time puzzled 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 means it could is if you happen to really had 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 strive. There’s just a few different individuals within the Bible. So sure, if any individual I like greater than something on this planet has handed away, what I consider to be an early dying, you higher consider I’m going to attempt to… In Jesus’ identify, elevate her from the useless.”
This man is evaluating himself to Jesus. He actually thought there was an opportunity he may elevate the useless.
Far be it from us to attempt to diagnose anybody, however the phrase “narcissism” definitely involves thoughts right here. Additionally, the phrase “nuts.” However that’s not all. Observe that wording he used to explain his spouse — “any individual I like greater than something on this planet.” OK, now let’s speak about his response to questions on her mysterious dying…
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 individuals from my children’ faculty. We had been all collectively on the soccer fields that day. Afterwards, after the soccer sport, any individual was with me your complete time… any individual that I like greater than the rest on planet Earth… was with me. And we went purchasing in Charleston. And we received meals in Charleston. And there’s all of the receipts from that all through the time.”
Yeah, bear 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 means. 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 occasions up to now, and that she was pleased when she did it — like she was within the photographs police launched of her ultimate 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 up 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 imagined to die right now.’”
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 remedy:
“I did it as a result of the night time that she was with me, the final night time we had 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 drugs. And he or she’s saying, ‘I’ll take my drugs and I’ll come residence if you happen to’ll give me $10,000 and if you happen to’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…
