Aint that the truth.

Darn shame. People get waaaay to caught up in "the four walls" of a church, rather than the Holy Spirit that should be moving through it.

This is when I get frustrated, because I often wonder, "do any of these people who attend these churches actually read the Bible? I mean really read to the point of having Bible literacy to make it clearly applicable to their lives and surroundings? " Long and his ilk are such blatant, in your face blasphemers who exhibit every single last trait that you're taught in The Word about false prophets and those who profane the House of God, and it's like people just turn a whole and complete blind eye to what these preachers say and do, spiritual like zombies. This is not what enlightement through God's Word looks like at all.

That's an excellent question.

I sincerely believe that many of them have never even actually read the Bible, and are just going by what they have heard is in the Bible (...from someone else that hasn't read it either, lol). I feel this way because about 25 years ago, I actually read the entire New Testament page by page, and found it to be very hard to read, it took me a couple of months to even get through it. Now while I'll admit I'm not the fastest reader, I found that it took time to actually make sense out of what each one of those words was actually saying (...it even took time to make sense of how they structured a sentence back then), yet nowhere in there did I find half the stuff that many "Christians" claim is in there, lol. And what I did learn from it seems to be utilized by very few people. Based on what I found to be such a challenging read, I don't feel that many people would even take that kind of time to actually go through it all. So no, I don't feel like many of those good church going folks have ever even read the Bible. And even of those that have, seem to overlook the fact that it was written by human beings, with bias' and opinions all of their very own. I found it to contain lots of good metaphors and philosophy, but I never found half the craziness that some people claim is there that they use to justify or validate their own personal agendas.

So while I'm a very spiritual person, believe in an intelligence that is superior to ours, and in an existence beyond this realm that we call LIFE; I'm no fan of any organized religion, and certainly not of these "Mega-Churches".

I hear ya loud and clear, the Bible IS a difficult read: I've been on nonstop structured course study of the Bible since 2008, studies that last generally about 3 months each, and I'm just taking my first break now in winter of 2011. The amount of Greek, Hebrew, history, and theology you need to break it all down is practically overwhelming, but can be accomplished in the correct setting, which is why I suspect a lot of people in these toxic church situations must not be reading nor receiving proper instruction, otherwise I imagine they all would have jumped the New Birth ship by now.

The idea of the Bible being opinion because it was written by humans, I changed my view after I went deeply into study. Primarily because (in the books I've studied) I had to learn the historical background of the people writing them and how the books came about. Outside of the poetical books of the Bible (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Eccliastes, and Song of Solomon), there are 22 books of history, and 18 books of prophecy. The poetical books are those where I can say, alright, this is open to interpretation (for example Song of Solomon's advice to stamp out your spousal arguments by simply having a roll in the hay ), but the others I truly believe are God breathed..

Getting to that point wasn't easy though, it really took a lot of scuba diving into the history of these authors, their lives, etc., to have me see it differently. However, I agree that initialy a lot of the stuff you read in there sounds bizarre and makes no sense, it really all only comes together if you're in an environment where you can really learn the nuts, bolts, nooks , and crannies of what you're reading (and do it surrounded by good people), otherwise it all comes of as a crazy fairytale. For this reason, I believe structured study with a literate Bible authority (who also provides tons of back-up info from scholars and commentaries) is the way to go. It makes it real easy to pick out the wolves in sheep's clothing- almost like those grade school tests where you look at a picture with the question "out of this group, which one of these doesn't fit?"

Church of Thyati'ra. Rev. 2:19-20

Ha! Good ole John, the fisherman's son (I did a 12 week study on him, and next to Jesus himself he's just my favorite Bible guy )

Also had the whole chapter 2 of Malachi in mind, when he was reading the priests up, down and sideways for all the wickedness they were commiting; man, how much clearer can one get when stating the standard for the pastor of a church?

You've clearly gone further than I have gone and studied much deeper than I have. I respect the conclusions you've come to and the opinions you have formed, many of which mirror my own..

Chile, I tell ya, it ain't been easy. But it's been rewarding. I guess finding the right church environment to grow spiritually is like trying on jeans, you gotta try on a whole bunch before you find the ones that fit right and don't look & feel whack.

I concur. It took me a while to find the church I'm currently a member of and I'm glad I took the time to do it. I've been a member for a year and a half now and I have no complaints. So glad I left my family's church which has nothing but a bunch of complaining, whining and controlling "seasoned" adults who want things to stay the same as they did in 1959 in the church, yet wonder why they aren't attracting younger members.

A spiritual path is a lifelong journey that only a few take seriously. Much easier to go through the motions and act the part and more and more people seem to be settling for the superficial.

I'm glad that you found a place that supports your growth...it's not easy but you ain't the type to settle for anything superficial anyway.

She was long overdue! It was pretty obvious she would take this action. It's a shame that the church is essentially lying on the behalf of this monster. It really breaks my heart...PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THIS INJUSTICE! It's so backwards it's UGLY!

She knows a when she sees one.

You know...Moses, Joshua and Jesus never charged anyone to listen to them preach.

I think mega churches are full of shit when it comes to delivering God's word but they are good for bringing people together and strenghthening communities.....somewhat.

But in Atlanta they weren't under the age limit, so technically he isn't a pedophile or sex criminal.

I did a tiny bit of searching just because I was curious what slanderous things were going to be said about his soon to be ex-wife and I was suprised, there's none and probably will be none, it looks like a large portion of his congregation bailed a little while ago. I guess with her leaving a few more will follow. I listened to a few seconds of what Creflo had to say, I missed the CNN interview of his and all I have to say is if I ever heard a minister say the things he was saying about people leaving, I'd of bounced on him too. But then again I don't think a minister like that would have ever appealed to me in the first place.

I get it but I don't subscribe to that method of thinking because I know age of consent laws were probably designed to mostly benefit men and keep them from going to jail for tapping teen booty. Makes no sense that you can fuck and murder but you can't drink.

I remember a few years ago there was some group trying to lower the age of consent to zero in Sweden I think it was. Thankfully that shit got shot down like two pigs and a turkey on xmas eve.

Don't even get me started on Prince. I love the little fucker but something is wrong with him. He is way too fascinated with virgins and that 17-19 age bracket. If he ever dates a woman over 50 it will surely be the last days and the 4 horseman will be riding down sunset blvd whilst purple rain falls from the sky.

As for Eddie fucktard, he's a pedo and sex criminal. It just so happens that he lives in a state where the law protects his greasy-slimy-sweaty palm-jheri curl wig wearing ass.

Bishop Eddie Long's wife decides AGAIN to seek divorce

Story posted 2011.12.02 at 08:23 PM EST

By Christian Boone , Fran Jeffries

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The reconciliation of Vanessa and Eddie Long didn't make it through the day, as the wife of the charismatic New Birth Missionary Baptist pastor has decided against withdrawing her petition for divorce filed late Thursday afternoon.

"Mrs. Long continues to hope that this matter may be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously and fairly; however, she has determined that dismissal of her divorce petition is not appropriate at this time," Kilpatrick Townsend partner Michael W. Tyler said in a prepared statement.

"To avoid any undue confusion, Mrs. Long's future statements, if any, will be issued through her attorneys," he said. A spokesman for Kilpatrick Townsend refused further comment.

Vanessa Long released three statements to the media Friday. First she announced she was seeking to end her 21-year-marriage following "a great deal of deliberation and prayer."

Then, around lunchtime, in a statement sent through New Birth's public relations firm, Vanessa Long said, upon further "prayerful reflection," she was withdrawing the divorce petition.

"I love my husband," she said in the second press release. "I believe in him and admire his strength and courage."

Long, a New Birth elder, said her decision to seek a divorce was driven by "years of attacks in the media that frustrated and overwhelmed me." She and her husband "mutually agreed to find healing," Vanessa Long said.

Six hours later, her attorneys announced she was proceeding with the divorce "consistent with her original [statement] made this morning."

In the divorce filing, Vanessa Long, 53, said her marriage to the New Birth pastor was "irretrievably broken" and there was "no hope of reconciliation." The couple has been in a "state of separation," according to the petition.

"Vanessa is, and has always been, a loving, dedicated and committed wife and mother," Bishop Long said in a statement Friday night. "My love for her is deep and unwavering. It remains our sincere desire to continue working together in seeking God's will in these circumstances."

Vanessa Long has kept a low profile since the September 2010 lawsuit filed against her husband by former New Birth members Anthony Flagg, Spencer LeGrande, Jamal Parris and Maurice Robinson alleging the bishop used his influence, trips, gifts and jobs to coerce them into sexual relationships.

Though she has never spoken publicly about the allegations, she provided her husband with a symbolic lift when she appeared by his side at New Birth the Sunday after the lawsuit was filed. The bishop, who told his congregation that day he planned to "vigorously" fight the allegations against him, reached a settlement with his accusers in late May after months of mediation.

A bio on New Birth's website describes Vanessa Long as "the quiet strength in the Long family ... an awesome woman of God in her own right. She is an inspiration to many of the women at New Birth as they watch her lovingly and quietly support her husband in every sense of the word."

This would be Bishop Long's second divorce. His first wife, Dabara S. Houston, alleged she was the victim of "cruel treatment" and claimed she was afraid of her husband's "violent and vicious temper," according to Fulton County Superior Court records. She and her son "had to flee [the couple's Fairburn home] in order to ensure their safety," the documents say.

The couple was married in 1981 and separated after a couple years, according to the documents. Long's first wife made the abuse allegation in a counterclaim after he petitioned for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Bishop Eddie Long’s Wif...or Divorce

Friday, December 2, 2011

According to CBS Atlanta 46, the long-suffering wife of embattled Atlanta prosperity preacher, Bishop Eddie Long, has filed for divorce.

Vanessa G. Long released a statement early Friday morning announcing her decision to terminate her marriage to Long, who is the leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia.

The statement reads as follows:

“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.

It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expeditiously, harmoniously, and fairly. I ask that you respect my privacy and that of my family, as my attorneys and I have agreed that we will not try this case in the media, and I do not intend to make any further statements concerning this matter.

I also ask that the public pray for my entire family during this difficult period of transition.

Thank you, and may God continue to bless and keep each of you.” Source

The divorce proceeding follows a tumultuous year for the Bishop, who, earlier this year, settled a sexual misconduct suit brought by 4 former Longfellow Youth Academy students, and a fifth man who was not included in the suit.

We all know that she was the real man of that family.

She should've kicked that ass ... em ... fool to the curb a long time ago.

I kinda feel sorry for that congregation, even if it is full of dumbfucks who blindly follow whoever makes them feel pretty. I don't condone his behavoir, but those boys are just as wrong as Eddie is. Sure enough he was having sex with these young men to fulfill desires he had publicly condemned, but when the gravy train stopped they got pissed and greedy. He was the pimp and the boys were his hoes. LOL. What a big mess this is.

You should read the civil case transcripts. This wasn't a "gravy train" situation where these boys had Eddie as their benefactor. He preyed upon their mothers first and then upon them. He is what one would call a groomer. Once he gained their trust, he got that ass and then made them feel ashamed and as if no one would believe them.

The only thing they can be faulted for is not coming forward sooner. This is not all that different from the Sandusky case. Adult man in a position of power and respect takes advantage of boys from broken and fatherless homes and impoverished communities and makes them feel like they can trust him and that he has their best interest at hot.

Its a big mess alright. Hopefully society will wise up and start cutting these mofos nuts clean off!
