It’s sad all the way around… No winners here.

He touched me as well, and I still feel the shame. But I’m stronger now!

Praise the lord!

He is a perv and I’m sure there are many more heads of churches who are doing the same thing. Eddie Long Stroke just happened to get caught. See you later you turd burglar.

Bwaaahaahahahahahah!!!!!

I was undecided until now. Not because of the # of potential but because there will be no fight which means some credible evidence somewhere. I hope him and that church pay out of the wazoo. The people or person looking away is just as guilty.
“Turd burglar” lmao

If he did this, my question is did he start off as a wolf in sheep’s clothing or if all the power he gained through the church turned him into one?! I know he had to have already been gay, but to take advantage of young boys in his congregation? Just sad! This goes to show that no matter what position you are in life, you’ve got to guard your soul!

No way. You dont say. Get outta here. lol.

Lmao that turd burgler that was funny as hell.

He know he is the cause for so many homo’s in ATL

he BOINKED them lil boys in they booty

I thought I read that those were grown men he was sleeping with.

Hide ya kids, where r those cops who like shoving plungers in butts?

Hooooooooooooooney! these kids! Its a wrap for that sissified bishop!

He is nothing more than a homosexual criminal..Leading people to hell

Like seriously to many “men of GOD” walk around preaching against homosexuality yet they the main 1s BOINKING dudes in they booty

these punks are really getting carried away, all these lies on the bishop makes no sense, i could never lie on a man of god all for money, now all of sudden everybody got a lawsuit, they are going to hell for doing the bishop like this!

He aint nuttin but a crook

When you find out they’re NOT LYING..then what? Check yourself

Black churches are an abomination to the Church. These “preachers” are wearing 5grand suits and driving bentleys….THEN to top it all off they preach blk power and white hatred…….I NEVER ONCE HEARD MY PRIEST EVER SAY ISH ABOUT BLKS OR ANY OTHER RACE!!!! Now my priest is an African, A REAL AFRICAN!!! NOT you so-called African-Americans when ish isn’t African about you guys!!!!

Close that church down like what’s the point of it now its just one huge disappointment N u can bet he wasn’t the only 1 also I love the ppl who say these young men are lying but when it was on catholic priests everybody immediately believed

FYI…when the number of boys goes to 30 and counting the likely hood that all are lying is slim to none………your taking your anger out on the wrong people..how about you look at the “great” bishop for what he really is

So if it’s true, then where so you suppose Bishop will be going?? Like above said, check yourself!

He was a fraud from the start. Black folks are to busy looking for someone to put on a pedestal they ignore the obvious. This was out in the gay community for a while but many to naive and stubborn to see it

you could never lie, so I guess you would hold them cheeks open for the Bishop HUH, OH! in the name of the lord only of course.

This is the reason I don’t go to anyone’s church

Yes. There is more to come. Anytime there is silence like this it means more trouble is about the surface.

OMG!!! I’m just speechless. Well…that’s a sign of guilt since he’s stepping down. He’s not even putting up a fight. The Booty Bandit is stepping down.

UGH! Gotdamn! 33 and counting! What is this fascination with dude’s booties??? I don’t even wanna deal with my own booty. Pastor must have a strong stomach.

Dude was addicted to crack. Halleluyerrrr!

Why would he step down if these allegations were not true? If they are not true tell the congregation that and if they want to leave, let them leave. Deshawn probably still goes there and pays her $15,000 “tithes” to long anyway.

I also question his lawyer after the Tom Joyner Morning show yesterday. Even Tom and the crew said the lawyer didn’t make it better. Allow the man to SPEAK!

@Mekamac- Believe in the word, not man. God will never fail you but man will. Real talk

30people this is a scam n people r falling rite into it this is a case of revenge i hope n pray he doesnt settle this has gotten out of control bishop long if youre listening fast and pray and continue doing gods will he does not give us the spirit of fear do not allow this situation to weaken your faith in god

I see so many people talking so much hate toward this man if he did this he will pay , but the truth be told this man helped a lot of people through his preaching now his time has came to a shamful end . Even god use the wicked to do his works sometime think about.

He was cold with his sick practices. He would wine and dine these young boys and then toot it and boot it. He would prey on them both literally and figuretively and then leave them emotional abandoned both physically and sexually. What a douche nozzle!

Hope its not true..Long was a prominent leader in the black community, but we all know there a a ton of undercover, on top of the cover and outrageously gay men in ATL though. I’d hate to see him go down like that though..Pun intended..

I was more convinced that this Bishop was on the DL after seeing those super gay pictures he posed for, snapped himself and after hearing gossip about him a few years ago chasing boys and being seen in public with too many young boys in the late night while in ATL, LOL.

That white boy behind him looks GAY.I bet he’s cleaning out his toilet to.

I bet at least 2-3 of these young men that are coming forward are opportunist it seems very easy at this point. I hope this man was not that stupid to mess with all of there young boys at his church but when you think that you are getting away with something you tend to go over board. All it takes is one lie and a person life can be ruin I guess that why Jesus said be of no reputation because reputation fall apart very easily and we have seen a lot of that this year with Ak, fanny, Tiger and probably many more.

I was sinking deep in Sin, far from the peaceful shore, very deep and stained within, sinking to rise no more; then the Master of the Sea heard my dispairing cry, from the waters LIFTED me, now Save am I…

Love lifted me, Love lifted me; when Nothing else could help – LOVE lifted Me!

@ thunderkitty

Good comment! This fag was a fraud not only to the church, all his victims but to his wife as well! I do hope the wife is at her lawyers office right about not too because her marriage was a fraud for years too! Too bad she could not see this man for what he really was!

@Luvher501 9/24/10, 12:40:PM

Good comment! This man was a fraud from Day 1 as you suggested! What a disgrace!

this is sad all the way around. people have to realize, you don’t put your faith in man and this is where people make the mistake by getting caught up in the “men and women of God”. yes, i believe there are people who have a gift for teaching and preaching but they are human, not perfect and some are just not right, period. you can’t keep doing wrong without it being exposed. god will be the judge of him.

Not even your own booty! LOL

I agree and that is probably the reason why more have been coming forward to suit this FRAUDULENT criminal!

AWWW SH*T NOW EDDIE!!!! “sumin’ ain’t RIIIIIGGHHHHT EDDIE….SUMIN’ AIN’T RIGHT!!”

@Smittyboy

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMAO I CONCUR!!!

Ugh… let’s not be so silly!!!!! Those young boys were innocent and needed guidance so they probably thought if they went to him a (so-called ordained Bishop) they would be in safe hands. They trusted him and so forth and he did nothing more but took advantage of all of those young boys only to satisfy his own sexual cravings!

The truth will either set him free or cost him a hell of a lot of money!

Huhh????

Typical. Judging the victim. Had it been one of your kin, would u be saying the same thing? Eddie Long is only a man. He is NOT God!

[...] Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long Will Take A Break From The [...]

That dude behind him look zestier than a bowl of nachos…

I’m willing to be that all of these supposed victims weren’t dire.ctly affected, but more so indire.ctly, if at all…I agree with everyone who says this isn’t looking good for the Bishop, especially if he steps down, however sometimes people will jump on a money train if they see even a small possibility of financial gain, even if they have to lie or sell their souls to do so. I want the truth to be revealed, so hopefully this man is not guilty, but I read the court docs yesterday and the details seem pretty definite…I just can’t see him openly being that wreckless to mess with that many boys/men in the church. But, then again, he could have been blinded by his own delusions of grandeur and got sloppy with his mess…he’s already vain as all get-out…

Source Please. What Prophet are you speaking of?

I hope he doesnt fall (literally) flat on his face while steppin down from the pul-pit!!!

So I guess the anti gay rallies was just a front for what he done. Shout out to all the idiots that gave their last dollar to him and his lifestyle.

It is impossible to have that much abuse going on and the adult women and men of that church were not aware of what was going on. If this is true, the entire church needs to be closed down and dissolved. With 25k members this church is probably the incubator, main source, or epicenter of homosexuality in Atlanta. Close it down.

OMG, really?? At least 30 more people are coming forward? This sh!t is crazy as hell.

Do any of you people KNOW how to read. It never actually says that he has 30 accusers. It SPECULATES that it can rise to as many as 30 because Eddie Long mentored 30 men.

selective reading i suggest you reread the article

Dude has been wearing see through muscle shirts to church for some time now. His church’s symbol is something that looks nothing like a cross it looks demonic IMO. How do you have a praise break that doesn’t feature the words Jesus, God, or Jehovah and the like? They should have shut him down years ago.

Shoot some of the ‘daddies’ might have been involved with Ol’ Eddie too…it sounds like a chapter out of J.L. King’s ‘On The Downlow’

I wish him the best; we will only know the truth when/ if it goes to trial. If he molested those young men, he owes his congregation an apology and more importantly those young men he took an advantage of and their family. I mean how can one person do something like this and no one says anything. If people knew about this situation, (if this is true) they spent too much time worshipping him and not GOD

These young men are victims!!!!! They will go through the rest of their lives with this pain. Just because some people look the other way when people are rich, famous, and powerful. Why is that Frank Ski? Eddie long is a man first, he is no closer to god than any other person….. He will address his church on sunday, cause its safe and he will have all his followers there. ” a big pep rally.” Shame on you!!!!1

EDDIE Long turn youself in . Its the right thing to do. No means no

If you haven’t figured it out yet, all religion is bullsh*t. “Bishop” Eddie said he saw angels flying around in his room, but it was all in his mind. So, how many times do you think he asked Jesus to “set him free” from being gay? And Jesus did NOTHING, because Jesus is imaginary…just like the angels in Eddie Long’s room.

Shut the hell up!!!! If you’re in America I hope your damn green card gets revoked, and you’re sent back to Africa. Our culture may not be like that of an African, but African is encoded in our DNA. Don’t get mad at us because you missed the boat. Don’t come on here disrespecting my people, you devil.

I love white people….to die

Eddie Long Stroke…….that ish is priceless!

(I’m wiping the tears from laughter as I type…..good material man)

lol, this was my laugh for today

no can u read….the article states “AT LEAST 30 young men have contacted BJ Bernstein, the lawyer” Face it your boy Bishop Long Stroke a freak…

Well well well every dog has it’s day. You know what a hasa is Frank? It’s a pig that don’t fly straight.

Prophet masculinity sounds like a gay prophet trying to impart his gay ways on unsuspecting little boys…*clearing throat*

Nooo. The church is an abomination to the church. If the bishop is guilty, he’s only doing what your church leaders have been doing for centuries. Black churches are merely copycats. As far as your African comment…..his ancestors sold the strongest and smartest of the continent. Maybe that’s the reason why Africa is in such disarray now and they are dying(literally) to get over here.

he needs to stop being a lying hypocrite and come out of the pulpit he has no right preying on the fatherless boys in his church. this man is sick sick sick!

It depends. If he had spiritual sons for over 30 years since he’s been ministering, then all 30 boys could be telling the truth.

Eddie Long’s church wasn’t as big 30 years ago as it is now. So he’s had members come and go, and probably spiritual sons come and go too.

30 boys/young men over 30 years is not a lot at all.

Hey Caramel Cat. You maybe right. Eddie long could be doing to these boys what was done to him.That’s probably how he learned it.

The LIE is set “free” the Truth is Bond.

Impartation, what was that about?…….what? And who is this prophet spewing this bullsh..? Anyway, all of you run!!!!!Flee!!!!for your own sanity…
Black People, stop looking for a messiah and start instilling wisdom unto yourselves…WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPENED TO MY PEOPLE?

Now im getting pissed this wolf in sheeps clothing was standing up in the pulpit preaching to people every Sunday but low in behold look at what he was doing in secret? I hope other con men in the pulpit take notice that being put on blast can happen to you too so if you are engaging in any sick behavior step down step out of the pulpit.

People who hate gays are gay themselves.
People who are racist against blacks are themselves blacks
People who hate foreigners are themselves foreigners

This guy is a closeted gay and a destroyer of young BM lives, plus they are foreigners. I think Long do not like Black foreigners that’s why he did this to them. He is a phony and probably foreign dissent.
Black foreigners are too trusting. You better be on guard and put the trust down. I am a foreigner female and had a similar situation with my mother’s boyfriend(AA) who would hug and kiss me. He would come in my room while my mother slept and fondled me at nights when I told her SHE NEVER BELIEVED ME. She finally dump the garbage. He ended up arrested for a same acts against his step daughter. Know the signs, they seek out single female parents, pays lots of attention to your kids, gifts, trips and speaks out for them.
He wanted to mess them up! I bet that he would not do the same to his sons. I believe these boys and I bet that more is coming forward.
More

The Bible says that in the last days, people would “worship the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever and ever. Amen.” You are a perfect example of this. Long is NOT to be worshiped. Jesus says that “if I be lifted up, I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME.” Jesus will come back and some of these churches won’t lose a single member and they’ll be shouting if he comes on a Sunday and never know he showed up.

Bottom line he’s a FREAK, I just wonder how many times he has been in the pulpit wearing his wrobe with no DRAWS ON. And what were forgetting, if he was doing this to young boys how many sisters in the congergation did he bone LAWD HAVE MERCY!!

Damn what the hell was he running at him program,raping kids with all that wealth.

Go home Soddomy

WTF is really going on with this man?

…and you know they checkin the tax returns. Hide your man-child and wallets.

Hey Mike!

Yes, I concur…

You’ve heard the complaints. You’ve seen those zesty pictures of him. You’ve heard the list of evidence. As an attorney, I can tell you that those boys’ attorney released the “mildest” pictures of him that they had. Long KNOWS that there are other pictures much worse.

You keep on worshipping this man who is made of flesh like all of us and d@mn your soul to hell. Take your focus off of him and place your focus, love, adoration, and trust in the LORD.

He’s not the only one. The denomination he is a part of, Full Gospel Baptist, was founded by Paul Morton, a man who I know from living in south Louisiana is zesty as a mutha. Anyone who wants to be a part of his clique has to engage in the same types of behavior. TD Jakes, Noel Jones, Kenneth Ulmer, you name it, they are all GAY.

When white folks have someone do this, they have no pity for them. Look at Swaggart, Ted Haggert, the Bakers. They don’t go easy on their own. Why should we?

We can read the problem is can you comprehend. I say this SLOWLY AT LEAST 30 young men have contacted BJ Bernstein IN OTHER WORDS THERE COULD BE MORE NO LESS. I hope I did not go to fast.

Umm, honey once the potential numbers of the payout start gettin tossed around, you best believe you gonna see 30+…

@deesac … thank you!!

@ selective reading … STHU, trying to get smart

AMEN, AMEN

I bet he was making young little Eddie Long suk his dyck, this is what I was saying on the other blog about homo parents HELL NO kids do not need no bad menitor to follow.

He’s praying on young boys who come from single parent homes. He knew the mothers wanted positive male figuers in their sons lives, and he knew these boys and the mothers respected him because of he he is and they probably thought he was a good man.

What’s really bad is that all of the men and women around Eddie Long probably knew about this shyt and didn’t do a damn thing about it.

Eddie long has a lot of men around him that act as as*istants. Someone needs to check them out.

This is NOT FUNNY! This is heart breaking!

You go to church to please God not man. Bishops job is to break down the Word and teach. What he does outside of Church is between him and God, but just like a mother or a CEO of a company when you have this title there are this u just don’t do. He thought his money could cover his sin.Don’t let this stop u from finding a church home there are still some great ones out there….as 4 Bishop this is a crying shame.

well i am deeply religous and in this day and time i truly think that more of us should be! nevertheless, i think that a bishop so prominant across this country should have spoken up by now if these accusations are not true. he has a responsibility to many for an explanation. whether it be so or not allegations of this magnitude needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY!!!

A freak is a freak and he was on the DL I’m pretty sure he was SUPER SIZING THE CONGREGATION. I BET HE GOT KIDS IN THERE AND THE MOTHERS WAS TOLD TO KEEP QUITE. Guess what when the hush money runs out ppl will turn into a SNITCH. click clock click clock.

Black folks are so gullible.This man is so vain and full of himself so it was quite obvious he had hidden agenda.smh
If you choose to represent Christ ,your life SHOULD BE A REFLECTION OF HIS TEACHINGS AND LIFE OTHERWISE FALL BACK!

^^Forreal. Source please?

Do u REALLY think Eddie Long is gona step down from a MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR job?!

He has NO degree, he has NO special skill, & he probably hasnt worked a 9-5 in over 25yrs!

He would be like a fish outta water.

He is used to living lavishly. He is NOT gona step down without a fight.

Believe Dat Homeboy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He would be like a fish outta water. A bird with no wings

He is used to living lavishly. He is NOT gona step down without a fight.

*In my Antoine Dodson voice*
Believe Dat Homeboy!!!!!!!!!!

Good point, but here’s the thing…if he’s guilty of these crimes, I wouldn’t put it past him to have a dirty habit of embezzling money for years and stashing it somewhere…I think Eddie would do just fine retiring and living off his little nest egg he put away for a ‘rainy day’…something about this reeks to high heaven…

Not to mention the pentagram he wears as a necklace, that’s kinda creepy.

^^ Don’t try to use this opprotunity to bash religion. If you are not a believer, keep it to yourself. Bye now

FAT MOFO CHANCE HE’LL STEP DOWN!!!!

STOP U KILLING ME…LMAOOOOOO

Lol. Hide yo kids. Hide yo wife

Stop condemning bishop long until you find out for sure he have done what those men accuse him of…we so quick to chime in…joke at our own people expense …stop giving whitr people that satisfaction …of knowing we turn on each other at the drop of a hat…

I’m very convinced that many of these people defending him go to Newbirth…many of them have outright stated that they attend his church…so they will stand by their pastor until the truth comes out…

If he haven’t done anything,why the hell he’s steppin down,guilt is a mother*ucker,shut your mouth.

yep I said this a long time ago all these gays in the church and nobody is saying anything. I PRAY to my god anytime I want I don’t need no false Temple to pray in.

Eddie Long has a degree from a university in North Carolina. Maybe he should look for a job in New Zealand.

STOP IT, I SWEAR I’MA PEE ON MYSELF LAUGHING AT YA’LL UP ON HERE!!! RAOTHLMAO!!!!!!

Did it ever occur to you that God has exposed him for the person he really is? God will not be made a fool of!

If this story was about a black woman, all “the usuals” would be talking shyt about black women. Notice how most women have not said bad things about black men, just Eddie Long.

On the real though its sad because other ethic groups use this against us. They like to point the figure at everything bad blk folks do.

Won’t believe it, until CNN say it.

Anytime you have to make a certain amount of money to join a church than you know something must be wrong. Doesn’t God welcome all

If one more d@mn fool compare this incident with Tiger’s incident. I am going to scream… How are you going to compare someone who is messin’ with boys with someone who is messin’ with Beckys. Stop the madness…

Well the truth is that they really can’t say ish about ‘us’ as a whole, especially with the whole Catholic Priest scandals still brewing this very moment. And, think about it ALL Christian religions began with ‘them’…Southern Baptist is one of their most prominent

Black people aren’t the only gullible ones when it comes to believing your spiritual leaders. Look at the catholic church dummy…their priets have been molesting and raping choir boys for years and their parishners turn the other cheek or fail to believe, as well. So STFU…

There is a black radio host, can’t remember his name. He’s not very popular outside of Atlanta but he is still defending Eddie Long.

I think he did it. I heard from a friend in Atlanta that he used his community outreach programs to prey on little boys and mothers. These are mothers that want their sons to stay out of street activity and they look at Eddie as being a well-respected man and possibly a great role model and they hoped his programs would do some good for their children. They need to investigate his other outreach programs and see what they are all about too.

Some single mothers catch a lot of flack for not getting a positive male figure in their sons lives, then when they do, the sons get molested??? Put Eddie Long under the jail. ASAP!!

IMHO, the comparison comes from the situation starting off very small and then growing like wildfire. We all know Tiger’s scandal started off with like 1 or 2 chicks…then came a 3rd, and then the rest is history…I think that’s where people may be drawing the similarities, especially with this particular thread…and, let’s not forget how long it took for Tiger to speak out…If I were Eddie I would not have canceled those interviews Thursday…

Are these young men coming from THE LONGFELLOW ACADEMY? If so seem like its his grooming ground and it should be investigated by the authorities.What about the teachers there?

This is not a white black issue. This is about pedophilia. See Catholic church, see megachurch leader Ted Haggard. Black people quickly loose perspective and their thinking becomes clouded when race is introduced.

why would people say this couldnt be possible at the church when most dont even know what goes on at their home at night when the lights are off and doors closed?

All the other satellite New Birth churches should be looked at closely too. Check them out and check the preachers out too. Maybe something is going in the other satellite churches too.

Eddie long….lol,long indeed!

Tina (just call me ‘T’) is that you? Or is this another Tina?

You won’t need a plate because the time will SOON COME when you will have all the EGG ON YOUR FACE. Face the truth no matter how ugly. Stop following blindly.
This man is INAPPROPRIATE at best and CRIMINAL at worst. Stop covering for him. Take the word that touched your heart and release the MAN who delivered it. Stop being NAIVE.

I read his bio and he is a well educated man he has a phd.

prominent leader? to which black community? please, dont give him that much credit. i live on the east coast and we know nothing about an Eddie Long. kick rocks.

I hate to tell you but that how it is down in these big churches in ATL. Example; you and your wife makes $150,000 together 10% of that = $15,000 divide that into 52wks= 288.46 of ties a wk you will be SEATED in your W2 form catorgory. YOUR MAY ENTER NOW BROTHER & SISTER.

This is not a white black issue. This is about pedophilia. See Catholic church and megachurch leader Ted Haggard. Black people quickly loose perspective and their thinking becomes clouded when race is introduced.

People should just be who they are, PERIOD, if this was who he is. The musicians in my mom’s church when I was a child was of that orientation. Everyone know it, was never discussed, but it is disconcerting, this bashing the very thing you are. Heal yourself, come to terms with it, be real.

IF this is true, I would love to see a study of the correlation of the rise in homosexuals and any link to the church. Lately, there are so many young blacks coming out gay… Could it be they are getting turned out by ppl they trust and that’s why they are strongly committed to the ‘lifestyle?’ Just sayin. God Bless and Happy Friday everyone.

This prohet sounds like one sick bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s sad! This man made it a mission to talk agaisnt homosexuality and he has these type of skeletons in his closet. No one is perfect and I will never judge anyone but the hypocritical nature of this “minister” is what drive people away from church. I am so against organized religion at this point because its becoming a profit and a front. I am with spirituality all day and some of us “heathens” have more morals than the “saints”.

@CaramelCat

That isn’t me but I know who you talking about. I don’t usually post here but since I have a friend who used to go to that church, I thought I would leave a few comments. She ain’t one of the gullible ones. She left that church years ago cause she felt something was not quite right with that church. She didn’t know about this gay stuff then but she felt that Eddie Long was taking money from the church. I think he is too.

His poor wife must be so humiliated. Does he have children?
All those children he christened, marriages he presided over with his filthy hands. Anybody who was baptized, christened, or married by this ‘minister’ should go get a spiritual cleansing to wash his filth off them.

Google Reverend Ken Hutchinson of Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, WA 98052 near Seattle. He is very harsh toward the gay people, I have always suspect he is a closet gay. He called for a protest against Bill Gates and Microsoft for supporting gay marriage. Look him up on Google a nut case.

I wonder if he ripped the booty?

If he did, did he heal it afterwards?

And if so, did the power come from the Devil or God?

Ok, gotcha! Yeah, many people have said they didn’t have a good feeling about him from the beginning…it’s amazing how many parishioners he has…regardless of his guilt in this scandal, I think he stinks of vanity and greed…

na na na na…..na, na, na, na…..hey, hey , hey…..good bye!!!!

He is very vain and very greedy Caramel Cat. I can tell by how he lives. It don’t look good for a pastor to be filthy stinking rich, flaunt his wealth in the members faces while some members struggle to make ends meet.

People are such opportunists.. As a gay dude Im sure those gay boys had consented to it and were not forced..trust me

LOOOOOOOOONGFELLOWS>> WOW

Nothing new right here. African American culture is really messed up. From homosexuality to gang shootings. The sad thing about this even their Jesus is white man with blue eyes. Then their churches sing and dance about it. Religion is a man made faith who made millions out of obese African American women and men. It’s sad but I visited this church and saw this bishop holding a kid who wasn’t his. I knew he probably touched that kid but I couldn’t help him. “Hide your kids, hide your wife and hide your husband too…. cuz these bishops are molesting everybody right here”. *____*

Even if these young men consented that still does’nt make right. The bishop is married with children. Plus, he preaches against homosexuality. I’m glad he’s being exposed of his after hours work. God will be the judge.

WTH,wow.

@ manhattan,
How much u wana bet he BOUGHT that degree.

Local news just announced a 4th lawsuit!!!

no winners at all…the bible tells us about the saints will be first to be judged and how we should not lead people to sin and not correct those in error..bishop long’s lawyer said that bishop is a bodybuilder..by why send pictures of yourself to these men? God will judge!!

I just got an update that a boy from New Birth Charlotte was touched inappropriately too. This is the 4th boy and he said he was taken out the country too. Like I said check all the New Birth satellite churches.

This is VERY sad. Eddie Long is taken advantage of people who he knows respects him. Shut all the New Birth churches down. Every last one of them.

I really want to joke about this dude. But real talk it`s nothing funny about this . Just sad yo .

Cat, you hit the nail right on the head

@ Impartation…..

Now you know you don’t need to ADD to this tragic sich-ee-ation.

The Atl use to be the place to be for black folk on the comeup…but now its a place for black folk to comeout..SMH

There’s a Newbirth church in my hometown and I think it is a satellite church of Eddie Long’s…anyway, the pastor of that church was arrested about 5 years ago for supposedly molesting young boys…I don’t know what became of it, but I also don’t believe in coincidences…

@ STACEY

…until something comes out about the other people that you specifically named …..please keep in mind “touch not mine anointed”. The bible tells us that there is no greater sin and if that is true and it is….everybody on this site and in the whole world has some kind of skeleton of sin in the closet. So be careful that you can prove who is a witch in this witch hunt. I’m just sayin…

Bishop Eddie Long Stroke loves spreading his Jesus juice! Homolujah! Let the Church says, “GAYMEN!”

He took that booty for the lord!

He blessed that booty 4REAL!!!

Dem boy gave up their @$$ to the LAWD! They GAWD’s booty now.

SMH.

wow thats a shame, too many coincidences indeed! ugh they need to close down all those churches wow

@ Caramel Cat

(cute avatar by the way) Anyhow, the bible tells us that the oil flows from the head…..so……you figured correct.

Ooooh snap!

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100924/ap_on_re_us/us_pastor_abuse_allegations_lawsuit

yes you are so right they need to be checked out

@ aqueenwaits

Thank you! And, I concur with your post…

@ Tina

Don’t get me wrong…if he’s guilty (smile), he’ll get his. But we need to stop thinking that as believers we got to be a broke joke to be considered a christian. In the bible do a search and you will find 2 things: 1- money is the most talked about subject in the bible. and 2 – there is a scripture that reads “money answereth all things”. Beleive me, GOD and Jesus ain’t sittin in a trailer in Heaven and loungin in no Lazy Boy Recliner….it just ain’t so! And you can take that ….. to the bank!

Not necessarily. I used to attend New Birth Baptist Church in Miami and the pastor does not seem like that type at all. He’s a straight up guy, not flashy, and I believe he still lives in the hood. I dont know all the details but it seems like he spends the church money well. Who knows but God? LOL

Not only are you unfunny I mean these are the kinds of jokes that would get your azz booed at a open mic Yo !

But real talk you might want to hurry home tonight because I`m pretty sure a lightning bolt is waiting right outside for you as soon as you step out of your card board box behind kfc`s.

@ AfricanKing Kong

You just need to shut up and go back to Africa with that crap! You’re here in America now Jack, so…….

Brandon T Jackson is that you? LOL.

why was the academy called LONGFELLOWS?, do you have to have a long dik to get in?

Well well well a 4th one Huh. And we was wondering were all these gay men were coming from in ATL, no we know there being breeded in the NEW BIRTH CHURCH. LAWD HAVE MERCY!!

From the BET Blogs:

We also learned today that Bishop Long held a conference call with select members of his church, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, to speak to them about the allegations. According to CBS Atlanta who was on the phone for the call, Bishop Long said he had to be careful what he said because he wasn’t sure who was on the phone. Some quotes from the call:

“We will arise through this situation, and go forward, and we are moving forward,”

“I have never dealt with anything like this before. I have been under attack before, but everything else has been different levels and different challenges,”

“Know that I am also praying for the families and the young men who are accusing. I always operate in the spirit of love, and we are going to move through this,”

I also understand that on the call Bishop Long didn’t actually deny the allegations.

smh…

WE AT 4 VICTIMS SO FAR! I WONDER HOW MANY OTHERS ARE GOING TO GET TO THE COURTHOUSE BEFORE IT CLOSES FOR THE WEEKEND!!!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!

i have a friend who went there while he was a student at clark…apparently there were rumors back then

I just wan’t to know did he tear the booty?

It a damn shame a so called man of god going around ripping up little boy tenderbacks.

SMH.

u goin hard aintcha lol thanks for the updte

I guess we will know a lot come Sunday. But if this is true, I will say this….shame, shame and double shame to all members of that church. God have mercy on all of you because you will all answer to him one day. For goodness sake, what about Matthew 7: 15 – 20 do you not understand? A guy rides a bentley and wears thousand dollar suits and you still think he speaks for Jesus Christ.

Anyway, I now realize the problem with church folks (black or white) is that these preachers represent what we want. So we justify anything they do even though we know that Jesus Christ would never do it. These false prophets soon believe their own lies and let their guard down then the devil completes the job. So the cycle will continue. Anyone taking bets on who is next….

Uhmmm, no. Sorry.

The dude has been called out for ripping out little boy booty holes. There is no defense for that. Now if he was hittting chicks, I might be able to get behind dude (because I sure ain’t gonna let him get behind me) but he was waxing little boy booty, I can’t condone that.

Jesus, I hope it’s not true that there are many more where he came from. Please tell me this is an isolated incident and that most megachurches are not this way. If so, please divide them up into quarters if it will help.

@STAR

Total Picture?? are you freakin kiddin me..that wolf in sheeps clothing was suspect from the start. Thousands of black and white folk gave him the side eye all along, hey if anything black folks gotta make sure we try to keep half dressed MALE DEVILS outta the spotlight and into the dark where they belong. This here media circus was long overdue IMO regarding this money grubber who used the church as a rouse for his nefarious behavior. Nah, fk that…this mu fker gotta fry like the rest of the shameful devils.

@peenutgallery

lol, I’m just in shock really…this is almost surreal… lol, sorry I just have a really hard time with hypocrites

This ain’t lookin’ too good for Ol’ Eddie…

@NewestObserver

“I do hope the wife is at her lawyers office right about”

Forget the lawyers office!! She needs to be at the doctors office!! I sure hope she doesn’t have an STD. Poor thing. And if she knew all along that he was (is) gay then shame on her.

she “wasn’t”

well another article stated that a fourth man has came foward…..ummmm Eddie Long Stroke you gots some splaing to do (in my ricky ricardo voice)

Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Speak the truth..This man should have divorced his wife and left the church when he realized who he truly is. Instead the coward used his influence and power to exploit young men.

He was high when he saw his imaginary friends flying around the room.lol

Biker outfits???? Really??? Dawg…I am down here and it’s on the news and the pics are like Dave Chapelle on with Mike Epps and Kevin Hart. The ish is fierce. I say I say fiiiiiiieeeeerce!!!!! Oh and not a conspiracy…a cock-spiracy. Good lawd!

that’s the devil working overtime in false religion. Praise JAH!

What will really make everyone sh1t their pants is if a couple of his spiritual sons has HIV or AIDS. That will be pastor longs chickens coming home to roost. Lmao.

Da man whose judged us finally gets judged n Eddie caughtin those stones aren’t ez when u use 2 throw dem so hard !

@ Real Comment, exactly. Everyone is always overprotective of females but what about the males? There are men who prey on young men too. Shame on the parents for not knowing why their child has, money but no job. New clothes, sneakers, fitteds but no job. Going on exotic trips, umm.

@ keep it real you’re blaming churches and jails for homosexuality really.

“Eddie Long Stroke” LOLOLOL

LOL @ stupid sheep in New Birth Doggie Style church who tithe 10% and more of their income so their pulpit pimp can make it rain on young black boy p.u.s.s.y! Y’all need to get another church!

At three victims I was still giving him the benefit of the doubt @ 4 victims, dude is looking real guilty.

Come on sheeple! There is no god!

LMAO…haha ha ha

Selective reading has selective comprehension. lol lol ha ha

holy back door, Batman!

Hell yeah!

True

YEA THAT WAS HELLA FUNNY

The first time I saw that man on “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, he struck me as a VERY SHADY CHARACTER!!! with all that jewerly and shiny hair. He didn’t strike me as very Pastor like?????

You are crazy and do not see reality!

he is disgusting on more on more than one level

shameful, and have the nerve to call gods name!

No one can anyman from the love of god Jesus saved, there is power in the blood of the lamb, the church is blessed thank god for blessin and no weapons can form satan went to hell in the name of Jesus god has blessed the Bishop. God bless all. And loved trinity won in jesus name amen church family is blessed

whatcha tryna say? Oil sheen is evil?

uh…never mind. too easy. :roll”

By the looks of that jewlery booty wasn’t the only thing he was addicted to!!! Why does a spiritual man need wealth? I guess he found a way to store his treasures in heaven.

I just want to know one thing, where is his wife at? She’s too quiet as well.

AINT THAT THE TRUTH

@KeepitReal

He’s been dressing in an inappropriate manner for a while now and his church members haven’t said anything. I don’t think see- through muscle shirts are ok for a minister to wear to church. I’ think that church members have been desensitized by the way he dresses and carries himself already which is why they continue to make excuses for him.

That’s too funny

i THOUGHT THE SAME THING

TD Fakes(Jakes) has been officially put on notice. What grown burley mans plans his daughters wedding all the way down to picking her wedding dress? I’m sorry but that’s G.A.Y.

I think sexual preditors are drawn to the power of the church. You hear about the allegations in the Catholic church but if you read the news and history it’s not just them. COGIC has a bad reputation for it along with other denominations and groups.

15 years old might be the age of consent in Georgia, but you have not reached adulthood at 15.

If I am not mistaken, weren’t the victims receiving monetary gifts, travel, jewelery, tuition, and shelter? IJS. However, it’s an awful situation for all involved.

god will be the judge,and his rath is far worse.

This man has been divorce like 2 or 3 times. From what I’ve researched Vanessa is like his 3rd or 4th wife. I guess pretty women with ugly, fat bi-sexual men will look the other way as long as they can have the status of “First lady of the church” with material goods to boot! What a heavy price to pay sharing a dirty sti*c*k.

hE SUPPOSED TO SAY HE DIDN’T DO EVEN IF HE DID. THAT’S THE AMERICAN WAY.

I wonder what he’s gonna say at his church this sunday,I take young men BOOTY.

How many of you “perfect” people commenting and bashing have never done anything bad in your lives? A sin is a sin no matter how big or small, it weighs the same so before you start bashing this man for mistakes he’s made in his life, think about some of the things you’ve done in yours. The only difference is he’s a public figure and you’re not so you got off lucky. Don’t judge, uplift one another.

How do you know they are lying. God is taking his name back from all of these prosperity preachers. He is getting ready to bust the door open on all of their foollishness done in his name.

Umm nitestick….it’s ‘tithes’, not ‘ties’.

the white guy behind him looks like he cant wait to get him home

I feel sorry for his wife & children. I wonder if the wife knew anything….there is always small things women notice that make them suspect.

Yall some church heathens. I don’t go to church. All that gossiping and showing out. Young boy azz blowin out. I am ecoming rasta, the white girls love it!! LOL

Alicia….grow up. Mindlessly repeating church rhetoric that’s used to blind the sheep to the abuses of those in power is not an intelligent look. If you’ve ever cracked open the Bible you’ll see VERY strong warnings about God judging those who teach the word to an even higher standard than the rest of the body of Christ.

And, it also warns that anyone who stumbles one of the “little ones” (which means both children and those young in the faith) will be better off having a mill stone thrown around their necks and drowned in the sea.

God is not mocked, and not to be messed with. He means what He says. This stuff with Eddie Long is being exposed for what it is…sin. Blasphemous sin.

And we are called to judge the church. So don’t check your critical thinking skills at the door the next time you attend church.

Your survival depends on your ability to rightly see and discern the wiles of the devil.

And sister…he goes to church and preaches expensive suits.

This is the issue.. if you’re paying any dues, even a penny, to belong to a church chances are.. you’re being rip off. Religion does not cost a thing and Jesus does not ask for a dime.

COME ON PEOPLE.

lmfao I was seriously thinking the same..

Parents teach your children not to sell their bodies for material things. And be aware that a grown man is not giving your child cars, money and expensive trips for nothing. I am not blaming the victims I am just saying this could have been prevented if these boys were made aware of predators.

Go head Christian, preach!!! Sounds like some would rather see this swept under a rug for the perp to live another day in glory and reck more lives!!! We must DENOUNCE his horrible sins like we should be denouncing the sins of others.

*plane

@pablo…Jesus is very real my brotha. He is the first name we call out in life…and he shall be the last name we call out when he returns. John 3:16

@yeah yeah—CO SIGN!!

I think its a sad state of affairs in all church’s… People put their hope and trust in humans who are not perfect and they do not put their hope and trust in God…seriously there are a lot of stories like this and yet people will not learn.

@Africanking…lets check you for a moment. Africa has the higest rate of HIV leaving the women affected and the children left without BOTH parents. Check your history book and go back to Egypt to the very start of the garden where GOD spoke to Adam. We are all connected as a people weather we be in the US or not. Don’t forget WE were brought over here not by choice. Jesus hair is like wool and feet of bronze so where are you gettin your facts from? Can you at least read the bible a little before making such silly comments? Im not hatin, just askin.

LMAO; but think about it; with more than 25K supplicants, it probably wasn’t hard to turn one informant.

Dude, Really, your kids should be ashamed, their friends (Girlz) gone be like hey gurl, what’s Pastor. LongStroke Number, i want him to pray for me all night long.

Kill ur self Long!

Hog-wash, I don’t believe NONE OF THIS.They Just want money. And you can believe if you have money ,people will lay awake at night dreaming up schemes to GET IT!

If those members in his church still trust him and beleive in those lie will also be delt with,find another church and please do a back ground check.

@rene..seems to me that money is all eddie long shark cares about

Bishop Eddie Long is not GAY! He is one of those ‘DOWN LOW BROTHER’S” and those young men as well…so do not get them confuse with gay men people…he is a married man and he like those TREES in the forest…lol!

this is why its me and god what we have cant be soiled by man.

@Darksavior…that’s the way it should be with everyone individual

Wow! Are all of this boys lying? No they are not. This man is guilty of something and he needs to step down because this is a MESS!!

Um no, he’s GAY.

This guy had the power of God. He molested many men becuz These people were blind by his power. Ever been to a church and noticed how they are always asking for donation. I was kicked out of my girlfriend’s church becuz I questioned their religion and why they wanted money. I basically told them I’ll never donate money to a church nor I believe in Jesus. So they told my girlfriend’s parent that I was not a good man. My girlfriend will laugh about it but these churches are nothing but scam artist. People are buying their heavens with money and which is why Christianity is dead.

If your going to be a church leader and against
Homosexuality then don’t be involved in homosexual behavior your damn self
This no different than all those family values politicians all loud about adultry
Until they get busted with their bustdown jumpoffs
Look at Gingrich,Sanford,Edwards they often talked about Clinton affairs and each got
Caught too,my thing is if your against anything do be doing it on the sly
Reminds me of that Chris Rock joke about his militant uncle who hated white people
But had a white wife bwhahaha

Just one question… What if it’s not true? What if he hasn’t said anything yet because he’s in shock? Have u ever been lied on and before anyone seeks the truth they already think your guilty? I wasn’t there so I don’t know what really happen! But times are hard and getting harder and the devil is so busy! Not to say that they are lying but why now? Why not years ago? As a parent why is it that none of the parents seen a change in their children? There are signs with all abuse! It is a sad thing for all affected by this! I pray the truth comes out soon! And if this a get rich quick and not repayment for the abuse! Then that’s a true sign of the times!!

One of the plaintiffs said that members of the church who traveled with him new what was going on and said nothing. The whole thing is a mess.

There are some lessons here
1) the black church needs to confront the issue of homosexuality in the church. That conversation needs to happen
2) parents need to protect their children. This bishop (bs title ) manipulated the parents into thinking that he could give them more than they could. Things are not a replacement for safety and love — that’s the role of parents. To be clear, I don’t blame the parents
3) finally, all of you folks that are tithing, pls save your pennies. Prosperity gospel is bs. God is nor going to help you win the lotto just bc you helped the preacher buy a mansion and a bentley

God bless us all. This whole incident is just way over the top. Too much even for adults to handle

PERV!! Ugh!

but ummmmm tiger woods WAS guilty. so whats your point? are people really this warped about reality?

Well i bet there’s gonna be over 25 men claiming this pastor molested them by next weekend you know they have to do it early so they can get his money . these victims are not after Justice thier after his money ! there’s something wrong here

A so-called man of God on his knees for the wrong reasons

If he leaves the pulpuit for ANY length of time…HE is stepping down. He has been shamed…PERIOD!

If 25 more men come out, he will be destroyed. I could care less if they receive money or are suing for financial gain. If it protects just one young man this yr then they have done God’s work. If this is proven to be true a wolf in sheep’s clothing must be uncovered. God is uncovering him. You foolish ones may wish to believe that the devil is doing this to him, but if he is indeed guilty, no it was the devil that knew his weakness and tempted him, but God is the one doing the uncovering. If he is being punished for his hypocrisy, he better kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

This is sad but the devil decieves and its working on many people who won’t believe that so all we can do is pray for him and hopes he ask for forgiveness..but in the mean time…”Hide your wife, hide kids,even hide your husbands because they raping everybody out here!”..”Run and tell dat,run and tell dat..homeboy!”

Obviously you didn’t read the article, your an idiot

Maybe he did molested one or two but over 30 men hmm i dont know .. in this day and age this is not shocking anymore im not saying that its right what he did IF HE DID IT .. its plain disgusting nd you cant trust anyone now a days but these victims should be more worried about putting him in jail then getting his money.. & even if these 100 victims that will be coming forward that get his money will be doing us a favor anyways LETS BE SERIOUS WE ALL KNOW PASTORS STEAL MONEY FROM THIER CHURCHES ANYWAYS .. look at the cars they drive and where they live i have yet to see a broke pastor ! lol

You are innocent until proven guilty. With that being said, there is no way I will believe this Bishop didn’t have inappropriate contact with these young people. It’s sad to see people still blinded by their loyalty to a snake oil salesman who pushes a mentally debilitating fairytale. Wake up black people, abuse is real and will not be undone simply b/c you choose ignore and deny it.

Come to me nigg r bych. You have no choice. But you get no money.

America! Look at what happening, when we Needed we are Accepted and Praised. Take the 9-11 event. I was living in ATL, and all networks was in New Birth then. Everyone I Mean Everyone including the Most Scandalous President Of All Times – George Bush. So American People its Time to UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT. WE ALL FALL SHORT. I DON’T LIKE THAT GAY WORLD OUT THERE BUT I’M NOT THE JUDGE. WE ALL KNOW THERE IS JUDGEMENT DAY, THAT’S WHEN IT ALL MATTERS. LET’S ALL LOOK IN THE MIRROR. PLEASE. THIS THE REASON OUTSIDERS TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF US, WE DO OURSELF BAD. Bishop Long is who he is. These Guys that’s coming Forth, with this NEEDS TO BE CHECKED, WHY NOW. THINK ABOUT THAT. REMEMBER THIS IS HARD TIMES FOR EVERYONE. NO DOUBT THEY MAYBE GAY. I’M PERSONALLY FEEL THIS IS A BIG HATERS SCANDAL. WHATEVER BISHOP LONG ACHIEVED IN LIFE, WAS A BLESSING FROM GOD, BELIEVE IT. IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT BLACK PROSPEROUS MEN, THEY ARE ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT HATES. I WILL SAY THIS TO BISHOP/Mrs EDDIE LONG and New Life, FIGHT THIS FIGHT, BEING LEGAL ADVISE, BUT DO THE WORK THAT GOD HAS ANOINTED YOU TO DO. DON’T LET THE LAWYER FIGHT, GO TO GOD, AND STOP ALL THIS. FOR ALL OF YOU WITH THE NEGATIVITY, MAY YOUR HEART BE CONTENT. GOD BLESS BISHOP EDDIE LONG. YOU WILL BE EXONERATED. PEACE

@ Keep it Real

I’m with you on this one. It has long been a puzzle to me how and why homosexuality became such a raging trend in Atlanta.

This man is “SICK”!

Lmao!

You reap what you sow (sp?)… These mega churches have always been suspect to me.

he was just touched by the spirit and he used his ‘vessel’ to spread the holy juice lmao. I’m not necessarily for gay marriage but why does it always seem that the biggest opponents are the ones with something to hide? The senator from florida, tim haggart, bishop long, etc, etc. If your pastor wears see thru shirts in service, cmon now. Maybe he was doing missionary work in the gay clubs lmao

@ Lyter turd burgular lmao true tho!

Didn’t you see the pictures of Bishop Long in the muscle shirts. That was proof enough of his homosexuality to me. I wouldn’t care if he was sleeping with men over 18 years of age, but he targeted kids and that is unforgivable.

Hello

[...] They want to urge him to step down… [...]

Now if he has a sex-tape come out I’m done..I’m never getting bak on the internet for anything not even to check my email!

The fourth said him and the pimp Long took pics on their cellphone.

Haven’t you heard this: If you play with a PUPPY, eventually, the PUPPY will bite you. Bishop where were your witnesses when these things were suppose to be going on? At all times, people whenever you are meeting with someone, there should be someone with you as a witness to vouch for all things going on. Why would a group of WARPED MINDED PERSONS get together and tell lies on a Wealthy Bishop, mainly, to see how much of the Bishop’s MONEY that they can get. In this case, NONE! These persons are LYING!

Stepping down would be the loudest nonverbal admission of guilt! If he is innocent then he needs to stand firm in his faith…if he is guilty he should have sat down a LONG time ago.

Well, Bishop “BOOTY WARRIOR” Long must have bought into that ish.

PLEASE READ ARTICLE…PLEASE READ ARTICLE…PLEASE READ ARTICLE….http://rodonline.typepad.com/rodonline/2009/01/al-sharpton-again-denounces-antigay-black-megachurchpastors

People are killing me blaming these young men…..why do blacks hate each other so much, that they would blame the young men in this. That’s why they never came out til now, and probably will regret telling anyone after this is over.

I never had the courage to name my abuser, I applaud their courage, b/c as a man..this is even more difficult to admit and come to terms with…

My issue is with the church members and his entourage, why is no one speaking? Jesse J? Al Sharpton? Anyone????

He knew that if he picked on troubled young black men, that no one would beleive it, why??/ b/c they are troubled black men/boys. The weakest and most underrepresented part of our community.

I have been hearing about this church and rumblings of this scandal since 2008. It’s about time the light is shined here.

I feel so bad for his kids right now.

Pimping God is what I call it. So many people are hurting from past life experiences and pastors, Bishops, and what ever else they call themselves are using Gods people. We have to become more aware of what’s going on. We need to stop giving our hard earned money to these so called men of the cloth. They are living better than the people working a 9-5. It’s so sad but in the end God will get the Glory!

THIS DUDE ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE A GREAT BIG SUGA COOKIE TO ME…IT’S ABOUT TIME THEY CAUGHT HIM!!!

EDDIE LONG DOING WRONG Y’ALL

YOUR WRONG MR. LONG

@Selective reading, why are you getting all offended and sh–, are you apart of the rise, i mean congregation

Protest are going to be at that church. LIKE A UNION ON str…

Another voice of reason amongst the idiots. I get soooo tired of the whole blame the victim bullshyt.

They were the perfect victims. Troublemakers whom no one would’ve believed had they earlier come forward against “Bishop”. I mean after all, why would they say such things after “Bishop” reached out to them and tried to show them the path of righteousness?

Yeah, Reverend Daddy “Long” Stroke needs to step down and he needs to take the LONG WALK right on down into the fiery pits of hell!

what channel does his sermon air on.. I dont want to miss this one.

Fake TD Jakes, that fits him he is as gay as they come. And, Bishop Long I do believe the alegations. When will people see through these people. Don’t put so much into these preachers; don’t take everything they say for truth. Read your Bible and understand what God is saying so you’re not blind sided by those that want everyone to believe that they are the link between God and spreading his word. Remember the Jim Jones masacre? I had friends that died in that because they followed a crazy man that brain washed others to believe he was spreading the word. All I’m saying is be careful who you follow and who you believe.

What kills me is how folks following up under him with their money, etc…please these guys are jokes married and single either they fool around with other men or with women…

He used his authority and you can coerce another adult. I can hear it now oh God wants us to do this. You want to help your family right? God this and that. If you are weak AND poor you may fall for it. He went after weak dudes cause the strong ones would kick his a**

amen

What’s in the dark surely comes to light.

I WAS HOLDING MY PEACE. Until the 4th victim came forward. Cosign turn yourself in.

..ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyy,,frist this storie started out as some good old nbs cbs tnt ABC HBO CINNAMAX DISCOVERYCHANNEL CARTOON HETWORK BBC WORLD ESPN 1AND ESPN 2”NOW THIS STORIE HAS TAKEN US DRIECT ..T.V!..THANKS FORREADIN!!!!!!

Wow

OF COURSE.Your’e waaay too naive.Check the pattern.R/G/ES

[...] ready to file suit about Bishop Eddie Long was rising, and sure enough, before the day was over a fourth plaintiff stepped forward in the case. The details were already sordid enough but some of the things alleged by Spencer [...]

IF U R NOT GUILTY STAND YOUR GROUND!!!!!!!!

OK,Let’s start,From what I’ve heard being homosexual is wrong because it is against God’s WILL which makes it an abomination.Since HOMOSEXUALITY IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR,a lot of factors from childhood could be responsible.Gays are just lost,still God loves them not their behavior.Whether they love God back is their choice/will

All parties involved need to be tested for HIV/AIDS, especially with the possibility of at least 30 partners… smh

Are you saying Satan is going after prosperous,successful BLACK MEN?ENVIOUS HATERS.

All them clowns need a POLYGRAPH.

LOL i just called it.. sure enough.

This is why you should put your faith in God and not man. All these mega churches with pasters driving Caddys and Bentleys. You give all your money and step over the homeless on your way out. Jesus was a carpenter and he did not build himself a mansion, but you would build your minister one.

You put that guy on blast!!! lol

got the kid number from another post. Spencer, 704-780-0172

This is a dang shame!!!!

Maybe I should go file a suit to and say he been with me too so I can get some money out this deal. He been with me too! Maybe the lawyer call me and ask me to join on in because we know he will offer some money to get out of this Mess. It is so sad to see so many people have become the jury, judge, these young men and Bishop Long.with there own opnions. We was not there and how can we form a opinion. All of us have spotless lives. Hmmmm. He will never get a fair trail.and that really sad. People are so hung up on materail things. It is so sad to live in America. we look to put peolpe down so fast that I am praying we it all said and done he will be found nNOT GUILTY.

My dear, all con artists do good works. That’s how they fool people and have the people run around singing their praises while they do their dirt.

The boys were definitely in the Longfellow group. If you read the lawsuits, some of the people who ran the program are named as defendants but their names are blacked out in the online copy.

get it right:

He holds a PhD in Pastoral Ministry from the International College of Excellence, a Bible college accredited by an organization not recognized by either the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or United States Department of Education, the two institutions responsible for recognizing educational accrediting institutions in the United States.

I pray that all of you that are writing these ugly things about Bishop Long say a pray for him and shut up!!!

I do feel for all the people who do believe and OBEY the gospel of J-sus, but before we all be ready to forgive the bishop, let’s get one thing straight, he has brought tremendous shame to the house of G-d. J-sus did say this about his followers “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor it good for nothing but to be trampled under the foot of men.” If the bishop is guilty he should apologize to the men he harmed , to the church, his wife and have that demon of lust cast out of him.AND suspend his ministry, he is no longer credible. Just like the L-ord said.

praise the lord!

This is disgusting. Stepping down from the pulpit is the least of his problems. If this all turns out to be true he is going to do some serious time. He’ll have 20 or so years to think about all the lives he’s ruined. In the meantime, Bubba and Pookie and nem gona be wearing that azz out.

This is no suprise if true. First of all you Christians are killing me. You put your faith in God not a human with a title. Your pastor, bishop, minister or whoever isn’t special or above anyone. If you say your pastors name more than your husband, kids, or God then you are a failure. There are plenty of homosexuals, rapist, hypocrites, thugs, and criminals that you brainwashed followers call a man of God. Just because he’s a “bishop” these young homos are suppose to keep quiet, NO bring his azz out on frontstreet

Yes indeed…church was good today!!! Thank U BET for letting me see the inside of a black church because it’s been awhile!!! And I especially love how Bishop put all those allegations to rest. Whew, I almost that I would have to take back all those things I said about urban blacks being sheeps and love to be lead astray. Thank U Bishop for proving me wrong and showing me how truly bad homosexuality is.

*meant to say “thought”, but when U’re typing a bunch of bullsh*t U tend to make mistakes

This rapist said he’s under attack,he wasn’t under attack when he was going in those young men BOTTY.

I think he did exactly what them boys said he did. What really makes me mad is that other adults in that congregation HAD to know what was going on. Somebody knows something. Somebody was writing the checks to them. When they went on these trips who was suppose to be responsible for them? If this was legit somebody would have been around them boys at all times to make sure they couldn’t go back and make up stuff that didn’t happen. I am so frustrated at the people who choose to just say they are out for the money. He took advantage of them because they were poor and needed guidance. He being a man of god should have a higher moral standing than some pimp. He would never get a dime of my money to help seduce boys with. I do not give a dam how much he has done to help people or how many he has helped. He has corrupted young men and for that he should go to hell on a rocket. And this is the same man hollering kill gays? When he is one.

I don’t think they are lying..they are bringing out a truth that is long overdue.

I have always been somewhat intrigued by his manner of dress and all that jewelry But when I saw him in the pulpit on Sunday with that jeri-curled wig, I had an epithany– the brother has serious sugar in his tea. He be Gay!

I DON’T KNOW IF HE IS INNOCENT OR GUILTY..BUT I DO KNOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ATTACK ON BLACK LEADERSHIP LIKE NEVER BEFORE…THIS COULD VERY WELL BE ABOUT POWER.
