South africa funeral firm to sue pastor for resurrection stunt
That's quite a story!
According to reports, a funeral firm in South Africa is planning to sue a pastor for allegedly staging a fake resurrection stunt at a funeral service. The incident occurred in the town of Limpopo, where the pastor, identified as Paseka "Mboro" Motsoeneng, claimed to have brought a deceased person back to life.
The funeral firm, called Ditshego Funeral Services, is reportedly seeking damages for the emotional distress and reputational harm caused by the stunt. The firm's owner, Thembi Mthethwa, stated that the incident has caused significant damage to the company's reputation and has led to a loss of business.
The incident allegedly occurred during a funeral service for a 35-year-old man who had passed away. The pastor, who is the leader of the Incredible Happenings Church, claimed that he had received a vision from God to bring the deceased person back to life. He then proceeded to perform a ritual, which included praying and laying his hands on the body.
However, witnesses claim that the deceased person was actually a mannequin or a fake body, and that the pastor had planned the stunt in advance. The incident has sparked outrage and disbelief among many in the community, with some accusing the pastor of exploiting the grieving families and using the incident for publicity.
The incident has also raised questions about the pastor's motives and the potential consequences of such a stunt. While some may see it as a publicity stunt, others may view it as a form of emotional manipulation or even a form of fraud.
It will be interesting to see how this case unfolds and what consequences the pastor may face.
