The societies are groups that practice occult rituals, including bodily mutilation and allegedly even the ritualistic killing of humans to appease spirits. The groups have been known to surround churches with hundreds of people to harass and intimidate Christians and stop their worship services. \"They shouted while we were singing,\" Joshua said. \"But I said, \u2018No, let's continue singing.'"}
