Source: Raw Story
A bishop in Des Moines, Iowa is coming under fire after a video of him making detailed death threats to an unknown person started circulating online, WHO-TV reports.
In the video, Bishop Jeremiah Reed of the Des Moines Apostolic Temple claims that someone has been calling him in an attempt to mess with him but that it would be in this persons best interest to stop.
Weve got telephone calls, he said in the video, and I am holding folk back. Aint nobody that big in the world that cannot be hunted down. I got folk that will hunt you, put you in the cornfield, or drop you in the river with a weight on you, or cut your tongue out and leave it on your chest.
Thats the kind of connections I have, Reed continued. I want people to know that Im not a playboy.
