155: Gluttony - Kenyan Starvation Cult Part 2

We took a much needed breather from the topic of this episode. We recorded part 1 several months ago and news has continued to pour in from Kenya regarding the Shakahola massacre. If you haven’t listened to that first episode, I highly recommend doing so before jumping in here (it is episode 145 from May 7). Now that we have a bit more insight … .it seemed high-time to record this second episode.  This episode will focus on the other pastor arrested for their alleged involvement in the case as well as first-hand accounts from survivors and their families … as well as the blind eye that authorities seemed to turn toward the entire situation when alarm bells were sounding. And major trigger warning while listening. Most of the interviews we will play in this episode are very graphic and difficult to listen to. Back to the case — perhaps the most shocking new statistic? The number of bodies that have been recovered from multiple shallow grave sites deep in the Shakahola forest. If you remember from our first episode, that number stood just over 100 lost souls. Now? It’s a staggering 300+ with hundreds still missing and exhumations continuing day after day. One of you commented on an instagram post that you were worried this could rival the Jonestown Massacre and I hate to say it, but I’m right there with you in that line of thinking.

Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way…well that’s just road kill.  On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil. Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort…but what happens when that world is shattered… Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs.  Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most.    What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom.  What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child. What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse. These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under …your…. nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck.  Rachael O’Brien is the host of Seven Deadly Sinners, and she guides you on this hellish journey of deception all under the guise of Faith.
