And if his wife hadn't died he would probably still be micromanaging parishioners lives as pastor.

He isn’t qualified to be a pastor. I wonder if anyone going to that church is able to comprehend what the Bible teaches. Do they read, study, and apply the teachings? Wonder if it is just a feel good social club?

Yes, he should have been permanently barred from ministry

What church actually condones that?!? Serious red flag right there 🛑❌🚩

​@@annmarie2964 Probably use the Bible to justify the actions like God is forgiving, noone is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, he's more human and understanding as a pastor BECAUSE he's likely a grooming cheating terrible husband. You know the kind of place

Yes, that big age difference was even more important than if they had been well adjusted people. Micah was not just young, she was inexperienced and I think unable to defend herself like an equal adult to him. I think you nailed this case, Dr. Grande.🌿

I was also surprised when I learned that she had previously been married given that she was fairly young when she married JP. This case is so sad & tragic. I can't even imagine what her family felt hearing that 911 call knowing they would have done & said anything to keep her here.😢

Wow, are you serious!!??

This and the fact he officiated her wedding and proceeds to have an affair with her? Not cheating isn't just subtext of the Bible or implied to be wrong, it is explicitly stated how wrong it is in the 10 commandments. She was clearly groomed and mentally unwell and he took full advantage of her.

He did mention that she said it had been happening since she was 10 but she had not met him when she was 10.

Amen.

He is the wolf in sheep's clothing. He should never be allowed to pastor any congregation ever again.

Listening to all the garbage he was saying about his poor wife who couldn’t defend herself against his claims just frustrated me so much. That guy is a class a freak for sure

Perfectly said

Have you not seen the texts he sent her family or the police reports that show he had a tracking device? Or even were he admitted to posting her private pic on fb for an hour for revenge. Being stalked by my unscrupulous husband would make me paranoid to

It's depressing how little DV and stalking is taken seriously. The stats are chilling. I hope she gets justice.

I do not think he "intentionally" drove her nuts, instead I think he is your typical very selfish, self-centered, narcissistic, gross, and creepy person. I don't think he had the brains to do this intentionally. He looks like he has a mental defect too!

I think he murdered her! He didn’t want her getting 50% of the divorce assets!

If any religion had 'all the answers' then we wouldn't need religious clergy telling us what to think.

The heart of man is exceedingly evil. Only Jesus can forgive your sin and grant eternal life with Him. Often very evil men use "religion" to execute on their schemes.

Sadly true. This creep does NOT represent Christ

I've listened to people like this, none of them are as intelligent or eloquent as Christpher Hitchens was. They just have a personal dislike for Christianity and Christians. And so they make blanket judgements about a people. They hold them all to an impossible standard.

Christians are just as flawed as anyone else.

Between "We'll never know" and "perfectly clear" how do you reconcile your judgment of him? Seems completely contradictory in assessing him.

Idk the text messages and police reports are pretty telling

​@@_Amanda_Lynn They're only telling of the last short period of time. I'm not arguing that he's not a scumbag. But we really don't know anything about his side of the story except that he's alleged that she had mental problems. And honestly, we don't know an actual diagnosis, the severity, or how those affected their home life. Once again, not defending him. But if she did have bipolar 1 or 2, or potentially Borderline Personality Disorder, she could potentially have behaved just as abusively as her husband has allegedly been. But the fact is, regardless of however she or her husband were together or apart, she was the one who made the choice and she's the one who took her own life.

I don’t believe she took her own life! I think he murdered her!! He didn’t want to share 50% in the divorce proceedings! He married her at 14.

All the while, I still cannot fathom why there are strict guidelines against child or Elder abuse ..based on age but NOTHING in place for a vunerable person @ any age. ? What about a mentally retarded adult? Do they also not count if over 18? Or under 65? You state she had " mental issues?" Was bipolar? These conditions put her at risk when cared for by the wrong ( abusive) people. Mica was a vunerable adult in a dangerous and highly stressful relationship.... 👉allegedly, right? What do you advocate for btw? You sound like you knew the case? . So why did she not get the legal and health considerations to at least be fully investigated about her and others' abuse and stalking claims? They too knew. They had all the reports. Documents. Etc. I am surprised you didn't just pass this off as a " the system is broken" cop out. It's been used as an excuse for far too long to do nothing and advocate for nothing. Imo People call themselves health of psych professionals. Some also call themselves pastor and husband. Smh May God forgive those who selfishly failed this beautiful vunerable young woman. Seek to find better intervention.. maybe we will also find the solutions.... Peace Not bondage. 💔

There are a lot of weird sects and offshoots of major religions in the southeast. They just pop up anywhere, seemingly overnight in shopping malls, at peoples’ houses and in “fly by night” places. They all have weird pastors like this one, in one way or another. Be careful of the myths and these “cult like” leaders that you may follow. These types of “churches/religions” are fertile ground for malignant narcissists and psychopaths. Know where your children are, and who they are with, at all times if you decide to frequent these types of “churches.” Don’t be naive.

Absolutely.

He groomed Mica from a very early age

He shouldn't have been in ministry after this.

The thousand fruits all stem from the single vine of the heart.

Bipolar is only diagnosed after a documented instance of mania. Its not typically diagnosed, so we can assume if she actually got diagnosed, she had been manic rather than just anxious or depressed

@@mellybean1718 as someone who used to work in patient psych, many people were diagnosed incorrectly. It was a provisional diagnosis. Her husband pushed the diagnosis, so that he could continue to abuse, gaslight, manipulate her while simultaneously lie to his congregation. He is the classic malignant narcissist that destroyed her in every aspect.

@@Nikalina777 100%. I was diagnosed as so many things after I left my abuser who tried to end my life. I don't believe she had bipolar. I think she was heavily groomed as a child and when she finally broke free, it was unfortunately too late. She was his perfect victim.

...but not Bipolar

@@fancynancycakes I am so sorry you endured that type of abuse. I did as well, but not until my 30's. I can't explain how badly JP triggers me, as he reminds me so much of my abuser. I got out. Not everyone does.

But we need to consider all aspects from both ends. And after we do that, gest who was the adult in the relationship? Gest, who was ahead of the game? Who was the Godly one? Who was the one with the mental problems? Mica was a victim, period!

If not in the pit of hell. Unbelievable.

He groomed her…

It was born in sin.

Society loves narcissists & stigmatises the mentally ill like Mica. There's people in both his inner & outer circle that will side with him even when they're aware of his malevolence.

​@@carpathianken I don't believe society love narcissists. Narcissists are just very good at hiding amongst the rest of us. It's easier to see a person having a bipolar episode and be afraid than it is to see someone who is extremely good at lying and manipulating their way through life and pretending to understand empathy. We assume most people have basic decency, and people like JP use it to their full advantage by pretending to be upstanding citizens while the people closest to them know their true personalities. (Also, no hate to people with NPD actively trying to better themselves and not harm the people around them.)

He appears to be the crazy one.. not Mica!! The video of him on the front lawn 🤯

@@carpathianken rightfully so. The mentally ill are nuts!

How many years in prison do you think he should get, Sandra??

Perhaps he’s projecting his own issues onto her, and she didn’t have any mental health issues at all…or if she did, her mental health issues were not that bad. Lots of these kinds of men like to claim that their wives are “crazy” so no one will believe them when they speak up about the abuse.

Drug addiction. He forced he to take drugs at times! He held an iron fist over her!

A lot is out there. He posted threatening text messages to her sister when Mica tried to leave him Too bad no one could reach her and she felt like that was her only way out. 😥

@@redesignedlife777 It's on facebook & tik tok. I wish I could remember the guy that posted it but it seems like he had some grieviences with him in the past as well.

Maybe so

Yes, that is exactly what his behavior seems like.

He kept reminding his congregation that she was mentally ill, said so at the end of a sermon after she died. And in other sermons. Why would anyone say that, repeatedly trashing her in public. Was he jealous?

Exactly, that's JP narrative to control her and abuse her mentally. I feel JP maybe bipolar?

@@kajalpatelrealtor JP admitted to being bipolar and on lithium in one of his sermons

As do I. Have you examined what lead you to become involved with these people? And how you can make changes to avoid them in the future?

Congratulations on getting out. I wish you the best for your future.

You are so right. I too have been through it. I also self-destructed and was almost driven to suicide to stop having to deal with the insanity and control.

100%. I almost ended my life after all the things my ex-narcissist did, including attempted unaliving. Every time I got close to figuring out his secret (that he is a ped0phile, he amped up the abuse).

You can't understand it if you've never been through it. It's as if you'd died and gone to hell. And they only do it to people they know will be vulnerable to it.

Yes it can. I was in a relationship with a narcissist for years and it literally drove me crazy. He convinced me I was "bipolar" like they claim Mica was. I question whether or not she was really bipolar. Or if he just drove her crazy.

_Real_ gaslighting. Not just the buzzword people use it as now.

Yes, fellow ADHD female here.🙋‍♀️ The stigma is real. I had an ADHD diagnosis from childhood and my mother never allowed treatment. Fast forward to adulthood and I go to get re-diagnosed and assessed. Tested within measures of Severe inattentive ADHD. Mind you, the diagnosis process includes measures to eliminate other possible mental health disorders and comorbidities. From the psychologist, I book an appointment with a male psychiatrist who wanted to “rule out” bipolar disorder before approving treatment because I was “always happy” and he didn’t know if it was “mania”. I advocated for myself though and told him I just spent 3 days in a testing room with a psychologist and if bipolar disorder was present, he would know. 🙄

Wow, this should be pinned at the top of responses. ❤

Glad you are doing well

Yeah, that is very unusual for a person to do right before suicide. Was it a cry out for help? Maybe police should have gone immediately, but maybe they did and it was too late. Another senseless waste of a human life. Is earth really too overpopulated with over 8 billion people on the planet? Yes, I guess so, we have already almost run out of resources. One way or the other the earth will bring balance to itself. Maybe humans will all be bi-polar and kill themselves or each other?

Imo, that was a forced call

AI

I think it was done by AI. They family said it don’t sound like the way she talks.

My exact thoughts, too!

They won’t. They allowed him to cremate her without doing an autopsy.

Local police have closed the case, calling it suicide. The FBI is not now, though, since it's interstate. I just saw a woman who used an AI program, it took 30 seconds for her to do a statement from her that she typed in, but never actually said herself. JP Miller has a lawyer friend who is an AI expert, apparently. This whole thing is creepy.

@@lizh1988 wow! Thank you for the update! Creepy is a good way to describe it.

You can always tell a politician or a prophet is telling lies. Their lips are moving.

It’s deeper than that. Mica was a literal child when they began dating while he was still married. Not to mention all the allegations of sexual abuse at home and abroad. It’s gross.

I don't even understand how women fall for these guys? I frankly think they are funny and a mockery of God. They actually believe God chose them to speak for Him! LOLOLOL. Those pastor, priests, bishops, rabbis, whatever gross me out!

His texts were extremely manipulative, vindictive, and so controlling. I also think she was vulnerable and felt she couldn’t escape him because it almost seemed like he was stalking her.

Yes, that poor woman suffered. Which lead to her making such poor choices in life. Leaving her vulnerable to a manipulative narcissist.

FACTUAL

Exactly

There's none so blind as he who WILL NOT see!

You would think but narcissists do this ALL the time. Sadly, thr ones they abuse are either cast as crazyor unhinged and thus, alienated from those they once considered “friends”.

There is no god

Actually she may have thought the marriage not working and his abuse was because of the sin of the affair (keep in mind also he was grooming her since she was 14). She may have had trouble leaving because in some way she felt she deserved it because of how it started....by her video though she, later on, realized she had been victimized and love bombed by a psycho.

Apparently they didn’t have enough evidence he had done it. 🙂‍↕️

I've only recently pulled out of a similar situation. It's exhausting.

Just FYI, Mica was moving on. She had filed a divorce petition and a request for a restraining order from JP. She had decided she wanted nothing to do with him, no guilt about the divorce. But yes, some people can't process through abuse. They get stuck and feel guilty and can't move. I think the Bible even says something about that.

It was HER sister he saw.

The whole family has the same tattoo on their arm. I think he told that story to run it in & be cruel to the sister he did that to. It was a way to further torture & hurt her family even after her death. He’s a piece of 💩

He stalks her sister. Pastors have nothing else to do in life, all they do is write a 20 minute talk, most of it about themselves them add a verse or 2 then they have the rest of the time off. All social meals are written off. It is a great business plan. Most pastors are legit but this guy is clearly on video all the time and using his time to harass folks, go to mall, , delete her computer items, talk to attorneys, meet with his new girlie, purchase tire deflaters, publish boob pics, stalk his wife in person, attach car trackers, etc. So that is what this working church man actions were all day.

Seems like there's a rise of cases like this a person dying by suicide at the hands of an abusive partner we saw it with Michelle Carter and there's been a couple of other cases out there like that too.

I've seen several in comments to videos on this subject. Handprint bruises on the neck but it was death by pills, and everyone in the neighborhood knew he was abusive to her. This JP is so sus, just from all his sermons and his police record, his own admissions. The company this bar owning pastor keeps, etc.

Tbf people grieve differently, but this dude has many many other red flags that adds to him not crying at a funeral.

​@@spOOkytimesI should have clarified, he cried without tears at her funeral. Of course people grieve differently, but he tried to fake his grief.

He's high on himself. A grandiose narcissist.

He pretended to wipe fake tears from his fingers as though they were icky. He's so unconvincing, I can't believe things he says in his confessional sermons. 😯🤪

Some people left the congregation. One of them put out evidence of the type of man he was. He was pursuing a woman he just met right after Mica died. The woman recognized him because her sister had gone to the church for a while but left because she saw people there being treated badly. There were others. There is more about the waitress on the Vision Unsealed channel. There are a lot of Christians who are calling him an abuser and not a man of God.

I read this in an Austrian voice and had to chuckle for some reason. I think it's the casual "Guten Tag" juxtaposed to the horrible crime referenced in this video that did it.

In the city ppl tend to date more and for longer so they aren't jumping into a marriage right away. Of course the ghetto area in the city is a whole different story but they aren't getting married to begin with lol.

This I hope it’s investigated who in the right mind in a wheelchair gets close to a swimming pool? Sounds like someone pushed him.

The wheelchair guy had told JP to stay away from his wife and children two weeks before he died. Residents near that pool said they were shown video of it happening, I guess from a security camera. But JP's church security director injected Mica with testosterone, he's a body builder. I don't think she was willing. She tried 8 times to tell police about his various activities and abuse but they were ignored. I'm thinking that JP's girlfriend could have accidentally given him a little something in his orange juice that morning. THIS QUADRIPLEGIC HUSBAND OF HERS IS THE DROWNED MAN WHO TWO WEEKS BEFORE HAD TOLD JP TO STAY AWAY FROM HIS WIFE AND KIDS. He obviously knew something was wrong. The wife is Susie Skinner who consoled JP at a restaurant after the funeral, because no one else from the church would sit with him. So that's two questionable deaths ending with the body in the water.

I don't believe the conspiracies that Mica was murdered, but you are drastically minimizing his guilt in saying he was a hypocrite and a bad husband. JP is a groomer, stalker, and an abuser. He should face charges for what he put Mica through, but the likelihood of that is pretty much nil now that she's dead. At least he's being exposed. He won't learn from this and will maintain his innocence, but at least those around him will be aware.

Susie Skinner is the name of the gal from church, whose husband died in 2021. He had told JP to stay away from his wife and kids, and two weeks later was dead. The security camera showed him slipping into the pool after getting too close. Susie seems to be very admiring of JP. She consoled him in a restaurant right after the funeral, because "no one else from the church would sit with him". I wonder why? Maybe they were afraid to come between Susie and JP.
