RAPPLER EXCLUSIVE. Former workers and members of the Davao-based Kingdom of Jesus Christ organization are out to make Pastor Apollo Quiboloy account for the years of abuse and exploitation they experienced.

Embattled Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy allegedly exploited minors and women, manipulating them into believing that salvation would be theirs only if they dedicated to him their lives or, in the case of some, their bodies.

The women who spoke to Rappler joined the KOJC at varying ages and for different reasons. One grew up in the organization since her mother was already a member. Another was recruited when she was a teenager and stayed as a full-time worker for about eight years before struggling to leave.

Earlier statements posted on Quiboloy’s Facebook wall said the accusations against him were malicious and “another vicious attempt” to bring him down. The three women were subjected to indoctrination, tricked into believing that they had the devil in them whenever they entertained doubts about the religious leader they idolized and failed to deliver what was expected of them as followers.

The department is composed of the creme de la creme of full-time female church workers or pastorals who take care of the needs of both Quiboloy and his spiritual wives. US federal prosecutors said the pastorals were typically between the ages of 12 and 25 who prepared Quiboloy’s meals, cleaned his residences, gave him massages using lotion, accompanied him in his foreign travels, and engaged in sex with the pastor in what was referred to as “night duty.”

Stone recalled there were at least 10 of them in the pastoral department, half of whom served as spiritual wives. She said she didn’t have intimate relations with Quiboloy, but that there was a time when his spiritual wives asked her if she was still a virgin. She was only 17. One was even sent out to buy erectile dysfunction medication for the preacher in 2014, according to the prosecutors. They said another was given lingerie and lotion as part of her “night duty” in 2007, and was told by Quiboloy to keep it a secret.

Unlike the privileged women, the newer and younger ones, according to US-based Killion, “barely have enough to eat – their clothes are tattered and torn and the only money they are given is just enough to buy for basic needs.” Other victims who left the KOJC were subjected to public humiliation. Another was yelled at and called a “whore” for allegedly not performing sexually to Quiboloy’s satisfaction in Calabasas, California, in 2013. An underaged KOJC member, according to the prosecutors, was made to fabricate allegations of sexual assault against one of those who left the church in 2015.
