Iowa bishop issues oddly detailed death threat from pulpit — but he won’t reveal target

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 person’s best interest to stop.

“We’ve got telephone calls,” he said in the video, “and I am holding folk back. Ain’t 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.”

“That’s the kind of connections I have,” Reed continued. “I want people to know that I’m not a playboy.”
