Videos show confrontation of Tongan woman accused of leading a ‘satanic’ cult; young woman appeared ‘possessed’

A Tongan cult leader in Australia has been accused of telling followers that a young woman has been possessed by Jesus’s spirit.

It appeared that the leader was trying to convince her followers that their prayer through her had been accepted by God and that God had shown His approval by manifesting His spirit through the young woman.

Videos believed to have been taken at a gathering in a room in Melbourne showed the young woman appearing act as if she was possessed.

A group of men, women and children attended what appeared to be an exorcism during which the woman attempted to drive out a supposed evil spirit from the young woman or urging the woman to witness how the spirit of God entered her.

A Tongan woman arrived at the gathering and confronted the leader, telling her to read the Bible to understand that God’s spirit did not enter a human body in this way.

She called the leader’s action “Satanic.”

The leader warned the woman that she did not know what she was doing.

The young ’possessed’  woman screamed and shouted in what appeared to be non-existent language including calling out words like mono – mono- sono- poono. She appeared to be struggling physically. 

She began to attack the woman who confronted the leader before she fell down on the floor and continued yelling.   

The incident has been caught on camera by a man who was stopped by the leader, but who continued on taking the video.

The video man and the woman who confronted the leader were overheard urging the gatherers not to believe in the leader and what she was doing.

At one stage the man was overheard saying the young woman was sick.   

He asked one of the men in the room whether he believed in what the leader has done in which the man agreed.

One of the clips has been widely shared on social media last night and this evening it has been viewed more than 100,000 times.

The incident has drawn public condemnation with online users calling the act as “barbaric,” from the “dark ages” and “uncivilised.”

Last year Kaniva News reported on Australian-based Tongan preacher, ‘Esita Smith, who claims she is God and who allegedly urged her followers to injure themselves.
