Cult of John: The Secret Life of João de Deus, Spiritual Healer and Serial Rapist

Michael Bailot

4.9/5 (10584 ratings)

Description:This first-hand account dives deep into the shadowy life of João de Deus (John of God). Oprah Winfrey and dozens of New Age icons billed him as the world's greatest healer. He is now recognized as the worst serial rapist in Brazilian history.Known as a psychic healer, João de Deus claimed to be possessed by dead doctors and even a king—performing “surgeries” with actual incisions requiring stitches. But backstage at his spiritual hospital, a secret world was hidden from the public, where black magic masqueraded as healing and charity. Blood sacrifice posed as surgery.João’s history journeys through Brazilian trance cults and clandestine torture camps during the military dictatorship. It zigzags into Indian genocide and a lifetime of illegal gold mining. Murder for hire, incest, and human trafficking are strewn along its path. Unknown to most of his followers, he was a pistol-carrying bully with an enormous empire, including crooked cops, contract killers, and a never-ending obsession with pedophilia, serial rape, and blood sacrifice. His reputation as a healer eventually attracted tens of thousands of visitors a month to his center, including politicians, movie stars, and many celebrities. João tapped into the international New Age circuit, touring the world with healing events. He continued his life of crime even as his promotors hailed him as the world’s greatest healer and a selfless saint who did all his work for free—a poor, simple farmer. That man had tens of millions of dollars in assets. In 2018, at the pinnacle of his fame, his house of cards collapsed. Since then, nearly 800 women came forward, accusing him of rapes committed within his healing center during the past forty years—under the guise of spiritual healing. He assaulted the victims in his office, a few yards from where he would soon attend the crowds. This resulted in worldwide press coverage, seventeen sealed trials, and 489 years in prison sentences for his convictions. João’s center is still open, and the cult of John of God lives on. Many of his devotees claim he is innocent and was framed. He remains under house arrest in the comfort of his mansion with his new wife, thirty years his junior. He will never be imprisoned. Michael Bailot has lived in Brazil for twenty-five years. He was a guide and spirit medium at João’s center for three years. His research unveils a psychopath posing as a saint. This is the first exposé on John of God in English.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
