Yea know......I'm sorry but I'm really getting sick and tired of all this crap that's going on in the churches these days. It's not bad enough that a lot of them are ignoring their members who really need help, or the fact that they may be raising money for those who need food over seas and ignoring those who need food here but this sex abuse has really GOT TO GO!!! This is ridiculous. I knew that it was not the sole problem of the Catholic church and that other churches had the problem but this guy......Eddie Long who calls himself Bishop of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Mega Church in Decalb Co in Georgia really needs to not only get a clue but pay attention to the one his wife just gave him. First this guy gets accused of enticing four young men into sexual relations with him, and he goes to court and settles with these guys. Now that right there tells me that he's guilty but because the results of the court were not released and those involved were not allowed to talk about it no one is going to know. At least not until two of the young men's book comes out which they are suppose to be writing right now. Only time will tell.
Now if this wasn't enough Bishop Longs wife started divorce proceedings a while back and them stopped them. Now she is planning on started them again and now the Bishop is planning to take some time off from the church somewhere in the neighborhood of three or more weeks. If he wasn't guilty of these charges why has he not fought them????
The biggest thing that really surprises me with the whole thing is that the congregation of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church for the exception of maybe a handful of members is behind this man 100%!!!! Can you believe that???? Talk about faith being blind. I mean not only apparently is the man guilty according to the court system he is guilty according to public opinion and these people are still 100% behind him!!!
And there are people who still can't understand why I switched religions.....go figure.http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/bishop-eddie-longs-wife-files-divorce/nFry8/
