This week on The Non-Prophets, Cynthia, Jena and Malty welcome a new guest to the show, The Afro Humanist, on a series of topical news from the motherland where the state of Nigeria open delegations with Egypt to combat religious extremism. At the top of the show, we have an NP Update on Ex-Bishop Novell. He has found new employment.. as a “farmer” of sorts. Eyewitness accounts surface about the tragic slayings of cult parishioners following the death of a cultist leader from Jamaica. In the final segment, there is a “Step in the Right Direction” as a fraudulent church is forced to pay back FEMA money after making false claims following Hurricane Katrina.
