DEATH OF A PASTOR'S WIFE

Netflix just dropped a third-part documentary called Death Of A Pastor's Wife. Just when you think you have seen it all, Netflix presents a documentary on one of the most dispicable people I have seen. JP Miller, was a preacher, and he hid behind God and the church to just be a horrible human being, and he got away with it!

At age 13, Mica meets charismatic pastor John-Paul. Years later, their secret affair leads to marriage — but behind closed doors, he tightens control and in the end Mica turns up dead.

A few points on the documentary:

-Mica was groomed. Plain and simple. She joined Solid Rock when she was 13 and was placed in positions of increasing authority from a young age. JP was 28!

-Mica was clearly a replacement for the first wife. They looked shockingly similar, except Mica was the “younger, hotter” version of her. It would have been interesting if she had provided any commentary about whether she too was abused by JP and/or cheated on with anyone else besides Mica.

-JP is such a bad pastor. Why did no one in the congregation challenge him when he was seemingly going on and on about how it’s a “wifely duty” to ”submit“ to your husband and have sex with them multiple times a day to keep your husband from cheating on you??? Did everyone actually believe in that?

-JP is a liar. He’s moaning at the end about how he was “telling people for months” that Mica was off her lithium and no one was listening to him. Yet he somehow managed to get her committed to mental institutions multiple times over years before. If he really thought she was off on a bender, he could have made it happen this time.

-Mica was clearly coerced into ending her life. Anyone would struggle with their husband stalking them and making their lives miserable multiple times a day. Harassing them at every corner. Sending a huge bouquet of flowers with a note that says “send me a nude”. Who does that???

-They never showed us the tox report. It would have been interesting to know whether Mica had a therapeutic level of lithium in her system or not to corroborate JP’s claims that she had not been taking her medications for months.

-Susie Skinner. Enough said. Well. Not exactly. It’s pretty despicable to pick up/marry your own client and then hook up with your pastor. I thought they were going to imply that JP or Susie got poor Chris into that pool but they didn’t go there. Either way, extremely tacky to have an affair and then both of your spouses are effectively coerced into suicide so you can embark on your third marriage.

Poor Mica. She didn’t have a stable childhood, thought she found a church for a home, and then was groomed and horribly abused and mistook her faith as encouraging her to keep trying no matter what...
