Trapped In Europe 4

The practice of the Witch doctors soon became outdated by so called modernisation and civilization. But they were able to reform into churches. Capitalising on the the limitations of the society, they were able to manipulate the people to believe that they have solutions to their practical problems.

They were prophets, Pastors, Bishops. All over the airwaves, they were there with an array of bogus claims. They were so influential that they had control over almost every facet of life. The business was so lucrative that every political office contender must have one by his side during campaign periods.

The continued presence of the witch doctors was evident in the stench oozing out of the ugly recipes placed at various junctions as food sacrifices for the gods. Rotten animals, coins, cowries, Native chalks were all a compulsion associated with them. But their demise should have also meant the end of their practice. And compounding the scenario was that almost every body in the society claimed to be a christian.

A typical Witch pastor Church was a private enterprise that enjoys tax exemption. The structure and service were comparable to conventional Churches except that during week days, customers (this extends to non members of the church) come in to take special preparations as solutions for specific problems. It was during this time the bulk of the money was made. And it did not matter whether the charm requested for was intended to rob a bank.

And It will surprise you what the pastor has to offer during working days: Red/white piece of cloth, candles, olive oil, and other products that may be unidentifiable. These were used at night to carry out special ceremonies. And such practice tallied with the original operation of the traditional witch doctor.

But the pastors also saw that there was more profit to be made in the trade of Human trafficking. As such, they fassioned their messages towards claiming the ability to send someone oversea. And in this city, such claim could cause the entire population to queue at your doorstep. In some cases, special officials were recruited to control the crowd.

The proceeds from Female Trafficking could transform a small church into a Giant edifice within a short period of time. No church was successful until they had a Branch in Europe. Those pastors who decided to preach repentance and good morals had poverty to show for it. Some of them eventually changed their messages and their fortunes changed with them.

Although the pastor types adopted giving assistance, another groups took direct involvement. They became the traffickers themselves. they were able to establish organisations that cannot be detached from a cult. Members were lured with a promise of taking their children to the west. It was this form of organisation that was more effective in controlling the victims. The Children were turned into commercial sex workers. And the Oath did not allow anybody to challenge the system.

Another interesting Episode. You remind me of the Celestial Church of Christ who claim to be a Church but carry out so many dark rituals.

I hope you will turn this into maybe an Ebook. The episodes are growing and are very interesting. Regards.
