forced labor and money laundering conspiracy

Taylor and Brannon, according to the indictment, compelled their victims to work at their call centers and to work for Taylor as his “armor bearers.” Armor bearers were Taylors’s personal servants who fulfilled Taylor’s demands around the clock. Taylor and Brannon controlled every aspect of the daily living of their victims. Victims slept in the call center facility or in a “ministry” house, and Taylor and Brannon did not permit them to leave without permission. Taylor demanded that his Armor Bearers transport women from ministry houses, airports, and other locations to Taylor’s location and ensured the women transported to Taylor took Plan B emergency contraceptives.

If victims disobeyed an order or failed to reach his monetary goals, Taylor and Brannon punished the victims with public humiliation, additional work, food and shelter restrictions, psychological abuse, forced repentance, sleep deprivation, physical assaults, and threats of divine judgment in the form of sickness, accidents, and eternal damnation.

KOGGC/JMMI received millions of dollars in donations each year through its call centers. Taylor and Brannon used much of the money to purchase luxury properties, luxury vehicles, and sporting equipment such as a boat, jet skis, and ATVs. In total, Taylor received approximately $50 million in donations since 2014.

Recent court filings show Kingdom of God Global Church leader David E. Taylor suspected federal agents would raid his properties, and he believed he was a “general” leading the “end time army.” Taylor was accused of expecting his workers to wage war against anyone seeking to interfere with his mission.

​​“I am just telling you, you kill them on contact if they come in here with that foolishness, you understand? They need to die,” Taylor told his workers, according to court documents.

I mean, as long as that was what God wanted, I guess it all seems pretty reasonable.

Fuck religion.

It's a fucking cancer

Ah, see. That's where they fracked up. Global Church. Go with the times... It's America first. Heil Agent Orange, the piper that needs to get paid.

Modern slavery. Call it what it is.

Presidental pardon in 3...

Must be one of those transgender churches I keep hearing about.

Not to belittle their plight in OP, and their are degrees of it, but nearly half of Murcans are victims of systemic forced labour IMO
