We do not believe any of these allegations made against the Bishop Long. Bishop remember, there are more who are standing with you than against you. The News Media is designed to make a person look guilty especially where African Americans are concerned. We are praying for you and your family Bishop Long even for the three young men who have made these allegations. Grace and Peace be unto you!
Ms. Eddie,
You can come out of the closet now, you cover has been blow……….ATL is known for the down low brother…..
I am a person that is of the Spirit, and I do not know Bishop Long, But I do know greed, and that is the source of ALL of this. The maner in which the AJC hounds Long,
they may well have put them up to it , they did a five page spread on him 2 years ago, no allegations were even about. Seems like they may have asked him, How is that workout comming?? Being proud of his success, he took these pictures, there is nothing lude about them just someone PROUD of their work out results. I have been loosing 3 pounds a week and teling everybody I know. imagine……………………………………………..This is a Ploy for money Trust me, He allowed them into his circle and they deceived him, Jesus did the same thing only Judas got his life…………………………..for a bag of silver…………………….
while i believe in innocent until proven guilty, there are obviously several troubling aspects of this situation. not only the alleged coercion of minors, but also, i am concerned about why Black folk put so much faith and financial support in a MAN…so that he, a Bishop–minister, person of the clergy OWNS a private jet; a 10,000 sq ft mansion; drives expensive automobiles (alledgedly: a Bentley, a Benz, and possibly a Range Rover); requires ‘bodyguards’; keeps $100,000 in jewelry in his church office; and (allegedly) vacations all over the world on a ‘salary’ (?) or ‘gifts’ provided by the church (New Birth Missionary Baptist) congregation. Isn’t there something more than a little bit ODD or unsavory about this?
We will have to wait and see.
@renee do you realize that Joel Osten has 2 churches in Houston ,Texas and takes a plan to leave 1 service to get to the other service.Please be reminded that both churches are in Houston, Texas but he doesn’t want to deal with the traffic so he uses his helicopter to travel….Whites have larger churches and the media dares not to criticize them or their lifestyles. Let’s not how whites(majority) believed in the Bush Family. just saying let’s think and stop judging.
As a victim of sexual abuse I can honestly say the hardest part is admitting that the situation occurred because you feel so much guilt. So, I can’t imagine for any amount of money in the world that these young men would put themselves in the predicament of being ridiculed and persecuted if these accusations weren’t true. So, before you rush to judgement and condemn think about how you would feel if this was your son coming to you – would you tell him ‘ I know the Bishop and I know he could never do anything like this’. Walk a mile in their shoes before you throw them out as con artists. Give the truth time to prevail – for everything that happens in the dark will surely one day come to light.
he been suspect with that false gospel he preach feel me real talk!!!
This is not news, nor is it new. I am now 70 years old and since I was a 14 year old boy without a father figure, black clergy have done this time and time again, speaking from experience here. Then they get into the pulpit and preach that you are going to hell because you are gay and that all sorts of terrible things ought to happen and will happen to you because of it. The black church is rife with this sort of behavior and denial. But, don’t lay it all at the black clergy’s feet, there are men from every walk of life and from different races who are just as guilty. Was the Bishop wrong? Since it in the process of being proven, no opinion should be made without facts. To quote the bible: Judge Not That Ye Should be Judged. Start worrying about the blacks who kill each other, just because……………
WHY ARE YALL FOOLIO NINJAZ….ACTIN LIKE DOOD IS NOT A BUTT JUGLAR!!! THERE WILL BE “MANY” CLAIMS AGAINST HIM!! LIKE 30 …”THAT’ IS WHAT HE GET’S FOR TAKING HIS “WIFE” (PRAYING FOR YOU SWEETIE) ….WHAT A FRUIT CUP!! LOL I THINK THIS IS THE FUNNIEST I EVER HEARD…..BUTT LICKING IS NEVER COOL…”ORAL SODOMY” C’MON…
This is a HOT mess. I think he’s as gay as the day is long. All these cats coming forward is not coincidental. I’m just sad that his congregation is going to have their faith disrupted because of a man of God who wants to BE God. DREADFUL.
the point is EDDIE sent these pictures to kids,boys,young men what ever you may wont to call them.no REAL MAN of charcter will be sending these pictures to a person of the same sex.This not OK.AND for people in denial,remember the phone records will be able to tell if these pictures were sent from eddie phone to one of the victims phone.HE is BUSTED. Fags are like women,they dont get what they wont they are having a fit,So he should have keep giving.
To all YOU Women WHO KEEP PIMPING THESE SO CALL bishop, pastor, rev, etc. Wake the hell up. Make their asses work hard like you do..40 hours plus a week.
Innocent until proven guilty but I believe this guy is absolutely GUILTY. The African American culture tends to be homophobic and then they come out, it’s like a major shock. I believe this pastor is gay and that’s fine with me but don’t condemn homosexuality when your hiding in the closet. I don’t believe in religion and anybody that follows these pastors, priests or ministers are CRAZY. The proverbial slapstick: “You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig”.
WHO in 2010 wears spandex??!! Bishop . . . go back IN the closet and change your wardrobe please. Four accusers with similar stories?? Yeah, this predator used them all and then spit them out (probably swallowed it). Black Americans, Black Americans (tsk, tsk, sigh) Post traumatic slave syndrome (for real)
To: Tygres, and anyone who waste a valueable prays on this. SAVE YOUR PRAYER FOR SOMETHING THAT GOD WILL WAKE UP AND ANSWER TO. TO those young men: unless he threaten your life and that is not good enough. You were old enough to make a choice. You knew he was WRONG. I didn’t know WHO EDDIE LONG was until I GOOGLED him. NOW THAT IS SAD. When I opened up a page I looked at him and BELIEVED HE DID IT.
To me, it’s a shame that we as a people will continue to allow ourselves to victums in thinking that Bishops,pastors, and alike are greater than the creator…or are equal. He’s a man with faults and if this story is true or not, he will have to take account to the Creator. I was always taught that God will shower talents to all but we all have different directions that we must take, but no one man should be looked at greater than the other. I believe that the true test comes when the bishops has be sit before his family to explain, deny, or confess this story. And I would say that we all need to be in pray for those that have been associated with this story. For the family that may have been caught off guard, our family will continue to pray to give strength. I’m somewhat confused that we are turned our energy with this man, which the world calls a idol pastor, and we are not focused on poverty, homelessness, children and their lack of education…remember people, the devil will continue to distract us. I am comfortable knowing that God knows all and sees all and at some point in time, every knee shall bow…and every tongue must confess………God bless Bishop Eddie Long and I do believe that God will continue to convict you with the truth, because the truth shall set you free….God Bless!
Only God can Judge.
I have heard of Bishop Long and I have probably seen his television ministry maybe 3-4 times at best. My opinion is that it is amazing how it is so much easier to believe the worst in someone that you dont even know than to believe the best in someone. There has been nothing brought forward to say that these allegations are even true. The photos are alleged photos that came from where? They arent provocative in any way.I would think that if he was doing any of the thing these young men are claiming that the photos would of been a little more provactive than that. The photos that have come out are just photos of Bishop Long. Nothing compromised or anything. The sad thing is that where the photos actually came from havent been investigated. I don’t know if it is true or not but I do know that we all should think about if you were in your work place, at home, at church or just walking through the mall and the you were stoped by the police for something that someone said you did, wouldn’t you want to be innocent until proven guilty? Or would you rather be sentenced to 10 years and while you are serving your time you have to prove you ar innocent? Let the chips fall as they may and if it is true then there you go but lets not say its true because some says it is. Wait and see what the end brings. Dont be so easy to judge and you dont know anything about the accusers or the accused. Especially when right now all it is is accusations.
If we put as much energy into saving our children, protecting our elderly, cleaning up our streets from drugs, kingpins, and gangs, our communities would be a safer and happier place to live. BUT, we are so consume with the potential fall and sins of a preacher (who he himself stated “that I never said that I was a perfect man”), that we have forgotten what is most important and that is to pray for him, his wife, his children and the young men involved. This is the season that judgment is beginning at the household of faith……HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE (I see all of us laying aside our stones and casting the mote out of our own eye.) NOW, shall we pray….Our Father which art in heaven………………….
I’ve been reading different comments on diff pages an all I have to say is GREED is one of the enemies works.These boys for one wouldn’t of allowed him to anything like that to them for one they weren’t 12 or younger they were 17 an 18 legal age to do anything an two cause they got caught for stealing they want to turn around an accuse him of something that happened a long time ago an for that one to try an commit suicide now dumb trying to get attention cause if someone did that earlier then he would try it then not now…an for yall to say for him to get a job his church is his job an he use to work wit finance an al that don’t b JEALOUS cause he’s makin more money then u I kno other bishops that work as doctors an fire fighters as well ur just jealous cause he’s a successful black man..
The easiest thing for Eddie Long to say is: I didn’t touch those 4 boys. Period.
WOW! I think it’s great that people are so forgiving………Unfortunately, this man’s vitriolic tongue got him in trouble because of carma……..He’s a GAY man and nobody cares…….why can’t he just admit it and not hide behind his ministry…….smells like the Catholic church and all the pedophiles hiding behind their power and the cloth…..I don’t believe in religion as stated earlier and anybody who follows a person that claims he is Christ’s voice is full of bull____……Why can’t people just pray to GOD and not give their money away to somebody as GREEDY as this duplicitous person…….somebody that’s as narcissistic and a complete sociopath who now tries to assuage his actions by praying (PLEASE)…………..His pernicious behavior and lack of veracity make me want to puke………………But please please please, give him his due and continue writing those big fat checks so his debauchery can continue while he equivocates all the way to the bank…….I thought people were smart but now I’m not so sure…….sometimes your knight in shining armor is just a retard in tin foil………..
The pictures are from the stolen iPhone when the boys broke in the office before lawsuit claims. Eddie Long takes pictures on his iPhone & does it in style like everyone does. Please pray for the Lord to have mercy on both parties.
Whether or not Long is a pedophile is yet to be proven. I take no position, yah or nay in his regard, or in behalf or against his accusers. A man is innocent until proven guilty. As far as his presentation as a minister I had no preference. Being a matured learned Christian he has had nothing to say that’s increased my knowledge or interest in scripture. If that were a matter of indictment I would not give favor to his ministry, there are a number of statements he’s made that have no biblical foundation, although he’s made them under that guise. Push comes to shove the most this matter can be given at this point is a neutral stance. Although I have no care or need for his religiosity I still hold a position he should not be condemned until the truth can be ferreted. It may never be, so one has to determine what they’ll think about this fella next time he calls himself profiling his muscles and presenting smartly before a non-discrimminating crowd.
This is so sad! God help us all! ALL MIGHT GOD!! knows the truth and people leave it in Gods hand because God will take care of this and we people of God just pray that we live and and conduct ourselves the way God want us too.
To all the people who are concerned with the money Bishop Long may have, let’s remember, that’s not what he is being persecuted for. I believe money is the motive for all this madness though. Preacher’s have one of the hardest jobs there is, the more members you have, the bigger the problems. They deserve every dime they get (as long as they are not taking from the church). If your not going to like him just don’t like him. Don’t hate him because of what he has when you haven’t had 2 thoughts about him before all this mess started. Most of you probably have not even heard him speak before now. I’m not a member of his church but he does come speak at ours. New Birth congregation stay strong, all of you are in my prayers.
God the all seeing eye. Lets give the situation time to prevail. Bishop has much to say, but he can tell God all about his burdens, cast them Bishop. I awnt judge you, because I have been in your shoes, and the truth set my son free.
I AM A CHILD OF GOD. AND GOD SITS HIGH AND LOOK LOW AND KNOWS WHAT EACH AND EVERYONE OF US IS DOING,, YOU CAN NEVER FOOL HIM. IF IT PROVES TO BE TRUE.. MR LONG HIS NEED TO TELL THOSES BOYS HE IS SORRY FOR WHAT HE DID. AND ASK GOD TO PLEASE TO FORGIVE HIM. GOD WLL. AND KEEP IT REAL.. IF HE IS GAY SO HE IS GAY. HE SHOULD COME CLEAN WITH HIS WIFE AND KIDS AND THE CHURCH. BECAUSE ALWAYS WHAT YOU DO IN THE DARK WILL ALWAYS COME TO THE LIGHT. IF YOU ARE NOT RIGHT IN LIFE. AND IN OTHER PEOPLE LIFE.. HE LOOKS GAY.. I AM NOT HERE TO JUDGE MR LONG. BUT I DONT BELIVE FOUR MEN WOULD BE LYN.. THEY DONT EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER. WE WILL SEE. HAVE A BLESS DAY OR NIGHT
People:
This is a situation between God and the individuals involved. There isn’t one person on this earth in a position to judge either person involved in this scandal. Sin is sin, and there are no little or big sins. The mere fact you are giving opinions, attacking, judging, gossiping,etc. you are committing a sin. The word of God says to judge not that ye be judge, and those of you without sin, cast the first stone. If you will use the energy you are giving to this scandal, to prayer, you will realize that this really isn’t your problem. If we acknowledge our sins and ask God to forgive us, He does it immediately, and cast them into the sea of forgetfulness.
to everyone that is reading we are in the last days satan has come to steal kill and destroy.it is a sexual spirit in the air sometimes people get caught up. the lord is merciful. i don’t know if it is true but i pray it is not .if it is repentance is always good. the bishop has to stand before jesus onr day like all of us. but my bible says what profits a man to gain the whole world and turn around and loose his soul. moses killed a man jesus forgave him. it is time to pray and repent.
BISHOP THIS THING IS BETWEEN YOU AND JESUS IT IS THE AFTER LIFE I AM WORRIED ABOUT. IF SIN HAS BEEN COMITTED MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THE MEN
THEN JESUS. IF IT IS NOT TRUE KEEP PREACHING AND STAND ON THE PREACHING WALL WE ALL WILL HAVE TO SUFFER GOING THIS WAY JESUS WILL FIGHT YOUR BATTLES BUT OUR LIFE HAS TO BE CLEAN NO-SIN THE LORD KNOWS ABOUT ALL OF US. I PRAY FOR YOU THE YOUNG MEN THE CHURCH AND EVERYONE THAT IS READING. WE ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD-LET US ALL APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE AND ASK JESUS FOR MERCY AS LONG AS WE HAVE BREATHE IN OUR BODIES WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET RIGHT-BUT WHEN OUR EYES ARE CLOSED AND OUR TONGUE IS ROOTED TO THE TOP OF OUR MOUTH IT IS TOO LATE. REPENT AMERICA AND LET’S PREPARE TO GO HOME TO JESUS. WE CAN MAKE IT. WE NEED TO LOVE EVEN WHEN WRONG IS DONE. LOVE COVERS A MULTITUDE OF SIN. LET US ALL PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER AND LOVE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
