Once again, doesn’t look like Bishop Eddie Long was doing what Jesus would do. A new lawsuit says the megachurch pastor was using his position at the pulpit to talk men out of their pants.

Two Georgia men have filed suit claiming that prominent Atlanta pastor Eddie Long coerced them into sex.

The suits, filed Tuesday in DeKalb County, Georgia, allege that Long used his position as a spiritual authority and bishop to coerce young male members and employees of his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church into sex.

“Defendant Long has a pattern and practice of singling out a select group of young male church members and using his authority as Bishop over them to ultimately bring them to a point of engaging in a sexual relationship,” the suits allege.

The pastor took one plaintiff, Anthony Flagg, 21, on overnight trips to a half-dozen American cities in recent years, Flagg’s suit alleges.

“Long shared a bedroom and engaged in intimate sexual contact with plaintiff Flagg including kissing, massaging, masturbating of plaintiff Flagg by defendant Long and oral sexual contact,” the suit says.

Long took the other plaintiff, Maurice Murray Robinson, 20, to Auckland, New Zealand, in October 2008 for his 19th birthday and engaged in oral sex with him, Robinson’s suit alleges.

“Following the New Zealand Trip, Defendant Long regularly engaged in sexual touching, and other sexual acts with Plaintiff Robinson,” Robinson’s suit alleges.

Wow. How you doin’, Bishop?

Fuck him.

My bad, I guess they prolly did.

I never even heard of him until today

And who came up with the term Chopping Down and what does that mean?

@ his messy ass allegedly using the alias "Dick Tracy" when he checked into the hotel suit.

Anyway, I don't put this shit past nobody. The main ones folks think are here to preach the word are the main ones living life in the opposing way,,,and still have the nerve to condemn everything & everybody on sight.

Sounds like the name of a porn star.

And what's this 'coercing' shit? Why couldn't those young dudes just say no?

This shit doesn't surprise me either.

Same shit, different pastor

Who is this dude? Is he really famous in the church world in the U.S.? This dude sounds like he needs to go have lunch with that anti-gay Republican congressman who picks up boys in bathrooms

Don't you remember the first season of RHOA when Deshaun went to church? She wrote him a check for $15k and proudly said she does it weekly. Then she went to his office to talk to him privately. Come to think of it, I thought it was odd he was wearing a robe that REALLY looked like a dress. Now we know why.

I know, unfortunately. Shucks, when I was a teenager, our congregation found out that our pastor of 7 years had multiple DUI's on his driving record and also had been cross dressing and selling himself as a prostitute. He refused counseling and said that "God would heal him".

How any self-respecting grown-ass dude gonna say he was coerced into gettin his dick to stand up for another dude?? Please. I will tell you this, let some woman take me to New Zealand and try to go for a ride I don't wanna partake in...she will be sorely disappointed.

Controversy

{{cite news}} On August 28, 2005 the Atlanta Journal-Constitution printed a front page spread accusing Long of mishandling funds that were funneled through a charity started by Long. The article reports that from 1997–2000, the non-profit charity, Bishop Eddie Long Ministries Inc., provided him with at least $3.07 million in salary, benefits and the use of property. Long contended that the charity did not solicit donations from members but instead gained its income from royalties, speaking fees and several large donations.^[6]

In 2006, Long's appearance at Atlanta's Interdenominational Theological Center's graduation stirred up controversy, and led to some students discussing a boycott. Long's invitation prompted Black liberation theologian James Cone -- who was scheduled to receive an honorary degree—to boycott the ceremony. Thirty-three graduating seniors sent a letter to the seminary's president "questioning Long's theological and ethical integrity to be their commencement speaker." Many students did not agree with Long's beliefs that God can "deliver" homosexuals and his teachings on prosperity.^[7]

On September 21, 2010 two men filed lawsuits alleging that Long coerced them into sex with him.^[8] His attorneys have denied the allegations.^[9]
