In a highly ‘disturbing’ live-streamed video, a pastor was seen asking his female church members to strip and get into bathing bowls for a crossover ritual.

According to the cleric, he got the directive from God.

He said that although it might cause a major controversy, he had no option but to obey the voice of God.

The church members stripped naked and were seen tying towels while being rubbed olive oil by another Pastor after the bath.

According to SalemReporters, the ritual aims at cleansing the members so they will be “holy and pure”‘.
