The Pastor’s Wife - Netflix

[MagnumTA]

Has anyone watched this? Can’t believe the events happened in SC & NC and it didn’t get more publicity.

I thought it got a decent amount of publicity. I followed it pretty closely when it was happening, but it was kind of anti-climatic when the most obvious outcome was confirmed, so it quickly fell out of the news cycle.

My wife has been wanting to watch it so I'm sure we will, but I can't imagine the outcome being anything other than he psychologically killed her without actually pulling the trigger, which unfortunately isn't a crime.

I do hate all religions and churches, though, so maybe it will at least be entertaining to watch his followers make fools of themselves.

I followed it pretty closely when it all happened. It's painful to watch, and you can see light in her eyes dim as the documentary progressed. To say JP Miller is a scumbag is being too polite.

Yeah, JP Miller is a complete piece of ****. My grandfather was an old country preacher and a true man of God. The JP’s of the world give religion a bad name but thankfully, in general, there’s way more pastors like my grandfather was than how JP is

We got around to watching it this weekend. Glad I watched even though there weren't a lot of surprises or plot twists based on my assumptions in the earlier posts.

I could be wrong here, but was it not unusual how normal she was acting right up until she killed herself? I feel like the Director either didn't do a good job of conveying that, or maybe that's not abnormal behavior for someone about to kill themselves and I just don't know enough about the psychology of suicide. She went for a drive and then told the elderly lady she was staying with (Diane) she was feeling better?

If you wanted to kill someone and make it look like a suicide, doing it in the jurisdiction of Robeson County law enforcement is about the smartest decision you could make. IYKYK.

JP Miller is scum, and a giant pu$$y to boot. The theatrical crying and wailing was beyond ridiculous for a grown man. If Mica had been my sister, he'd have been beaten so badly before it ever reached the point it did that he'd have never been physically capable of giving a sermon again. The men in Mica's life failed her pretty badly by allowing a weasel like JP to continue abusing her.

I was raised in a good church and had a great experience growing up in it, but after I became an adult I drifted away to become the agnostic/atheist I am today. The farther removed you get from a church, the more you have a hard time understanding how people let themselves get so brainwashed. The whole time my wife and I were just aghast at how stupid all of these people were. Even the lady who was his substitute pastor and Charlotte, the friend, were completely blinded even though they seemed like otherwise competent individuals. Everyone knows that religions prey on stupid people, but it's more surprising to me when they make smart people believe stupid things.

How could you listen to someone like JP talk for more than thirty minutes and not know immediately that he was a theatrical con man? I just don't get it.

I believe the term the journalist at the end used was "murder by suicide," and that's a perfect encapsulation of what happened here. A shame that justice will likely never be served to JP.

We have a tremendous sheriff now in Robeson County. I think there has not been an unsolved murder in about two years or so and they are also making arrests in some cold cases, including a very high profile one recently. I understand point but don't think that still applies.
As for her death, not much about it made sense. He definitely tortured her endlessly.

POSs like Miller prey on women with no strong male figures, especially fathers, in their lives.
