Yes, it does appear to indicate that the plaintiff was trending away from the usual Apostolic/Pentecostal lifestyle; though in no way does it suggest her involvement in "adultery, child molestation and bestiality" as the taped statement from the pulpit insinuated.
Hyping the alleged "falling away" of those who "go charismatic" and saying things like, "they're shacking up with young men" or "they had a hair cutting party on the platform while the 'backsliding pastor' toyed with his new pinkie ring" are similar charges that have even been made here.
This time, the guy who went too far was assessed with considerable legal fees and damages by a court. Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned?
