Bishop Eddie Long - Address Sex Abuse Charges Pt. (1 of 2)

[uk88chic]

he is not making sense right now... she really shouldnt be preaching to these people from the Bible. It's okay to bring up this topic, but please no preaching from him.

[hagblay]

GUILTY--CASE CLOSED--GUILTY AS CHARGED--QUIT AND GO GET A JOB--AND ALL THOSE CLAPPING-YOU ALL ARE IN SELF DENIAL--ALL YOU ARE FOLLOWERS OF MEN---YOU LOVE TO BE LED BY CON ARTISTS--WHY ARE PEOPLE SO DAM STUPID?

[Fayme20]

And I would like to remind you, Eddie Long, that along with Jesus' faithful servants, the Devil attends church every Sunday Morning as well.

[coleb23]

@Fayme20 Now your preaching! amen

[plainwain]

What a pompous arrogant Mocker of Christianity!

[FreeMason34]

Blah, Blah, Blah... he´s gay and a hypocrite. Big deal.

[thomjz]

@FreeMason34 Don't forget to add white people.President Bush visited his church on several occiasion my friend. Also, TBN Jan and Paul crouch love this man..So get your facts straight before you start bashing black people

[fillmebreath]

I SAY THIS,UNLESS YOU WAS THERE HAVING SEX WITH THIS MAN,THEN U DNT KNOW WHAT TOOK PLACE,U CAN ONLY SPECULATE, HATERS GET ON YA JOB!!!!

[nappyg1]

Its hard to believe that he just got over on a WHOLE bunch of dumb ass black ignorant ppl

[Lovepeacesoul23]

3,000,000 dollar salary last year! This dude is as Corrupt as they come! Give that money back and leave those lil boys alone!....I dont know this guy but private planes and being able to buy houses for people...He's doing too much with his congregations money! What did God/Jesus say about the Rich Man? What would Jesus say to Eddie Long? Exactly...Did one of Jesus disciples live like this? Did Jesus live like this? Enough said!

[MRSBANKS2]

@Lovepeacesoul23 damn right all he cares about is there tithe money

[QuincyMcClure]

Was this Nigga Preaching with an iPad!!!LOL

[AGRANT716]

This is how a Jonestown is possible. Religious folks are such sheep. They are betting the house on his innocence.

[PlanetTruthpaste]

Hey, dude settled out of court. What izzup wit dat?

[777trax777]

Does these guys understand the meaning of the word DECEIVER? this is the foundation of which the devil operates. He deceives people, kinda what oprah winfrey is doing to alot of people today. A DECEIVER comes across as something or someone that they're truly NOT. They often have some type of power or status or lots of money and is always ready to reach out and help, especially to those who are in need of some type of help. This way they can gain the trust of others, which is there sole purpose.

[MsPLJ5190]

ALL I GOT TO SAY IS JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON....AND SOONER THEN WHAT PEOPLE THINK......GOD IS CLEANING HOUSE ITS YOU'RE EITHER WITH HIM OR YOUR'ER NOT....AND GUESS WHAT GOD HAVE WAYS OF SHOWING UP AND SHOWING OUT....TRUST....WHATS DONE IN THE DARK (WILL) COME TO THE LIGHT!!!!! ALL WE NEED TO BE PRAYING FOR IS MERCY AND GRACE...

[singlesexiephree]

OMG!! Any chance of them SHUTTING UP long enough to HEAR what he is saying?!?!? Ugh..

[luminorguy]

The truth shall set you free.

[sweetlove1171]

God is the Righteous Judge, He knows the truth!

If Bishop is wrong woo unto him!

If those young men are lying woo unto them!

It will come out! Any thing hidden shall be revealed!

Only God knows!

[UOMMTV]

Got a question...... Would repentence be enough if it were your child? Just a question, wanted to hear some feed back. we talking about it live now on live365.com/stations/wuomradio

[Oroshalo26]

This guy was on a show called Tiny an Toya on BET . He gave advise to one of the gurls an how sad i am to here this

[Mjpawmi]

Christ is coming!

[Mjpawmi]

Jesus is coming soon and when I stand before Him, I pray my slate isn't stained with sitting in the seat of the scornful. This is no time to stand in the way of sinners but to execute serious love through prayer. Just goes to show how we react to the news or rumor of ones fall.

[Mjpawmi]

I understand that we have rights to speak out train of thought and express our views but what concerns me more than any of this is how "the church" responds in devistation/shock and at a time when CNN/FOX has their eye on us we show the world just how court-like our churches are. If a man falls there's One God that will deal with them.

[Mjpawmi]

Something more serious than the harsh, raking over the coals comments made here and whenever a man falls is the danger of touching those God chose before they ever messed up or their wrong went public. I really think that the "church" handles these situations no different than the world/media. We react out of devistation/shock and look terrible to the eye of the world at a time when we have their attention.

[djclydesimpson]

God is still on the throne if the allegations are true or not....Bishop Eddie Long is a MAN and any man/woman can fall short at anytime. As a Christian I do not put my trust in man. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. If in fact it is true Biship Long will answer in the day of judgement just like we ALL will for what we have done. Grace and mercy is a GIFT! Neither can be earned and we are all in need of it at some point in our lives.

[dawsml1]

@djclydesimpson well stated

[missneka1125]

they love that nigga more than JESUS

[wilisbatman]

Question is, what does any of this profit anyone outside of the Long family, the accusers and the Bishop? I know everyone (like myself) would like to know if he's innocent, but the bottomline is its not our business to know. Lets look at this, if he did do it why would the guys decide now to oust Long? What is it that their seeking? Even if he did do it, A just man falls 7times but riseth up again (Proverbs 24:16) we should be praying rather than condeming those related to the ALLEGATIONS.

[dlahug]

@wilisbatman I understand, where you are comming from, however,Why Is everyone, that speaks on this issue, quote scripture, and say it's not anybody's business.I think anybody that is working under the true spirit as sisters and brothers in Christ, it is very important to work as a body,If I have a pain in the body I know where the pain is( of a weaker vessel) and help with the problem.Is it right to ignore pain in the body ? Do anybody know what working in the spirit is

[mommoak47]

Bishop Eddie Long is a Man of God and we can't talk about him we have to pray for him

[Lastdon56]

i like how he never actually DENYS doing it. he just keeps saying in the continued clip, "i'm not a perfect man" over and over. i may be wrong, but i think he did it. until he can prove that hes innocent, i will officially refer to him as:

Bishop Eddie Longstroke

[MrRingmaster]

Let us hope your zeal to crucify this man is matched by a zeal to defend him, IF these ALLEGATIONS are found to be untrue.

[CorpThug69Show]

@MrRingmaster - That's the problem w/ wasted energy in the zeal you speak of, (CRUCIFY OR DEFEND). The bottom line is about RAW TRUTH, STANDING UPRIGHT & then HEALING for all parties involved. GUILTY OR NOT - acting like a victim, vagueness, wasted energy, rhetoric & propaganda serves no purpose. SUNDAY proved that. One great thing a person learns when elevating is C.Y.A. (Cover Your Ass & POCKETS). In this case the question is did he or didn't he? The entire circumstance is tragic. Time tells

[MrRingmaster]

@CorpThug69Show personally there is nothing vague here. What I observe is people are going to want to hear and believe as they wish. What I got out of the full message (thank you for posting) was him addressing the situation as a "man of God." He first addressed his family, now his church. He's avoiding the theater most lust for at the behest of his legal council. Any honest person can clearly see he is a dead man in the court of public opinion. That being said, the truth shall come out.

[dlahug]

@CorpThug69Show What happen to "this thing I will fight".His lawyer ask the Judge Friday to go to settlement court. NO MAN will want to settle if he was innocent.He knows his members are blind and they will pay.He doesn't want to go under oath, b/c he know caught in a lie it would be a felony.He knows what happened to his Pastor Bishop Paulk.He also changed his story, that he did sleep in the same room and bed as these young men on these trips.Young men's attorney say they told the truth.

[mrpapafunky7879]

@MrRingmaster they are true no man comes out with some sick shit like this unless its true.People stay poor and hungry all over the world not once thinking up some shit so emarassingly wicked for finacial gain.Shit like this would NEVER pop up in someones mind to benefit off it unless its true.

[btinsley1]

Lemmings to the sea i tell you...

[jpurify08]

That's about the worse hairpiece I have ever seen him wear...

[deepdarkcocoa]

Eddie Long done made 1 or maybe 2 of the boys mad. they plotted together against him. Maybe Eddie told them he didn't want to bend them over anymore. Who knows? I know my mama always told me: if you want to make a man angry, you mess with his money. They got upset cuz Eddie cut em off, so now they want to lash out after how many years? lol I see the place as a cult in a way, cuz the people seem so in denial, it's too many boys claiming the same thing not for it to be true.

[wilisbatman]

@deepdarkcocoa just because a bunch of people come together and say you're someone you're not doesn't mean its true. Jesus was called a warlock, a theif, and everything else, and then was nailed to a cross. The idea is none of it was true. You can't go by how many people are accusing you of something whether or not if its true. And it's not that the people are in denial, if he did do it, Church teaches its members to forgive and see the flaws in an individual.

[krwny06]

IS THAT AN IPAD?

[CorpThug69Show]

@krwny06 Wow, YES IT IS, LOL!

[ThailandKyle]

Damn, I have not seen so much unconditional support since the O.J. jury!

[CorpThug69Show]

@ThailandKyle Personally I despise the fact that it is so public do to CNN's purpose for drawing more people of color during their program restructuring & other media on the coat-tails. It's all very unfortunate. INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY! He has support & others that draw off his duality that clearly do not support him. He has done GREAT things, BUT is an imperfect human like all of us.

[CorpThug69Show]

When the circus ends pertaining to this unfortunate situation, it will be a WARNING to ALL CLERGY that has desires, act upon those desires, the end result is personal & professional crucification. Those of us in the south ATLANTA region, who are familiar with New Birth Members/Bishop Long, know the suspicions that are not YET exploited from within its walls. Of course many support & deny. No none of us are the judges & NO we are not perfect. Still if anyone is innocent, no harm to say it!

[cologneo12]

This is very dangerous and so wrong. The audience didnt even have a clue as to what he was going to say and as soon as he steps out he gets a standing ovation?!

what if after all the yelling, applauding, and raising hands to the sky, Mr. Eddie Long comes and follows that up with.. "Church, i did it and I'm guilty off all allegations filed against me. I'm a homosexual and i used church funds to woo these young men for my personal gratification." Oh, I know.........YAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!­­!!!!!!!!

[CorpThug69Show]

@cologneo12 - This is exactly where I stand in FREE OPEN THOUGHT at all times. I do hope that the members & those concerned (especially the youth), rise in FREE THOUGHT, the possibility of both sides. What bothers me above all else is the lack of energy being placed where it should be, which is those who claim the allegations. It is said there are more coming out soon!

[afrikanbuttafly]

he is trying to make sure he has their support in the begining before he addresses it. he is smart with his approach but why would these boys lie?? hmmm its some truth to every story why he sending young men pictures

[CorpThug69Show]

@afrikanbuttafly - YOU JUST STATED THAT CORRECTLY & right to the point. That's a part of my feeling. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what's ahead. Even when the civil settles, he has to deal with the FEDS because the fiduciary side of things are still in question. Thanks for your post!

[afrikanbuttafly]

@CorpThug69Show yes!! you see he kept saying im not a perfect man, but i am not the man in the media. In other words he is saying some of it is true but not all. Maybe he didnt pay for all the gifts just half. Maybe he didnt sleep with the young men just touch and fondle them. SMH he thinks he is so clever with his wording. He also kept stressing the point of what ppl go thru in their lives as to say maybe he went through something in the past but that is no longer him. Im not buying it

[CorpThug69Show]

While respecting the views of those driven by emotion and some not, THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts. However - I know for a FACT if I did not do something, there is NO ONE ON THIS PLANET (LAWYERS INCLUDED) that can stop me from saying I'm INNOCENT! Then we can move on to mount a defense. He is very vague, strategic, shrouded by the blind & created A CULT in the name of FAITH & RELIGION! If any NEW BIRTH member read this, know to THINK FOR YOURSELF OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. Thank you for sharing!

[blacksmithdj]

@CorpThug69Show - Proverbs 14:11 - “Where no counsel is the people fall: but in the multitude of wise counselors there is safety.” Nothing he has said has been shrouded or secretive and he has stated clearly last week his innocence. He is following the instruction given him by those trained to do so. There is a problem when you can not be obedient to wise counsel and go against those who know better than you.

[CorpThug69Show]

@blacksmithdj - Thank you. You just said it best (BY THOSE TRAINED TO DO SO), just like those who so eloquently put forth the Proverb quote you used. In understanding what I stated below surface, (LONG) FREEMASON, knows what he is doing & many do as well in relation to time lapse & "the show". For the naked mindset, with respect to your viewpoint, obedience is enslavement, not freedom. I'm not programmed but enlightened continuously beyond 1 book inspired only. ~HOTEP

[CorpThug69Show]

@CorpThug69Show - I stand corrected.THANKS blacksmithdj.  "Innocence" proclaimed through HIS own lips! His innocence should NOT be for the satisfaction of others but because HE IS INNOCENT. Even a few former "employees" question still delays after this past Sunday view! Yes responsibility is to family & church, but GOD first per practiced religion. Responsibility also is based on position/status as well. Guilt or Innocence - TIME WILL TELL ALL! Life moves forward in hopes of healing.

[suebaby81]

@CorpThug69Show The thing that gets me too is that he is using the King David as an example. By going to the psalms. The difference between him and David is, David CONFESSED his sins. That's why God delivered David. This man has yet to confess. But he made settlements?? I would never settle anything with someone that falsely accused me of something so abominable!! In so many ways other than straight out saying it, he says he did it.

[burn253]

batty boy fi get gun shott..

[prettybrownCHICK]

Why are they cheeringg I can't even watch the video good for all the cheering!

[SightseerLounge]

@prettybrownCHICK Yes, too much screaming! He is avoiding the issue! Pastor so and so, Bishop so and so! Yes, or no! Did you do it, or did you not do it! Simple!

[CorpThug69Show]

@SightseerLounge Well stated POINT BLANK!

[william629]

How hard is it to say you didn't do something if you didn't do it, really? All this about I have to address my family and New Birth and these are difficult times blah blah blah. Man, if you're being acussed of something you didn't do, and it's being broadcasted throughout the nation, SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF! The more he tip toes around this, the more it makes him look like he's trying to hide something.

[blacksmithdj]

@william629 - He as already denied the charges each time a new one was leveled against him. From the video he is following the instructions of his attorney's and not trying his case in the media. Although many of YOU would like answers, he first has to a responsibility to his family and church and he should not behave in a way to appease those not involved because at the end of the day neither of us is judge nor jury.

[hazcamp]

Why? Why? Why? Eddie! Why Eddie?!!! I am shocked! I sensed this man was more emotion than spirit when I saw him in B'ham, but this breaks my heart. God is doing some purging, so I better get my act together!

[upabittoolate]

Why is this cat wearing that Star Trek: The Next Generation ass suit? This dude is done for.

[SightseerLounge]

@upabittoolate Hahahahahahahahahahaha! Exactly! This dude is done for and the brainwashed people cheering will be done as well! Chop off the head and the body will follow!

[Godsblack]

a toupee?

[mrbrandon71]

These people are acting like this because negroes are more interested in entertainment in church then the actual act of attending. Pure and total COONERY....and I'm so sorry to be black sometimes......shame!

[The283877]

I have been praying that if this man is innocent that the Lord will come swiftly to his rescue. However, if he is innocent, I would think that he would be screaming from the rooftops his defending himself saying he is absolutely innocent this never ever happened. Ever! He had this platform to do it and he was so vague and I think his being so vague is possibly an indication that he may very well be guilty. But I certainly hope not.

[prettybrownCHICK]

@The283877 I agree with you. Because DESPITE what the LAWYERS advise, I would be the 1st one to defend myself. Especially if I have the resources to do it, his platform/"pulpit" is the perfect place to do it. And I kinda get this feeling like he's making a mockery/joke out of the situation. This is not to be handle lightly nor as joke!

[msbetterme]

OK-He is not JESUS why are these ppl acting like this.He is actually tring to be funny when he first began his speech.It is reallysad how ppl are worshiping this man .I would like to say more but i can't even finish watching this.It is really sad .

[CorpThug69Show]

@msbetterme - I Totally agree, and honestly very VERRRRRRY Disturbed at the whole CONCERT PERFORMANCE prior to him stepping in the pulpit! I reserve my thoughts only for now for up & coming shows. AGAIN - HE IS NOT GOD!!!!!!!! SO TRUE, thanks 4 coming through!!!

[blacksmithdj]

@msbetterme - It is clear from this video they are not worshipping the man, they are only supporting someone they love the same way we want support from those around us when we go through troubling situations. Whether guilty or innocent as Christians we are to pray for ALL involved and be prepared to restore all of those affected.
