he had no business speaking at all… if your lawyors told you not to try the case with the media then why make a statement at all.

I am a member of New Birth and Bishop Long is my pastor every word the holy spirit allowed to come from him has taken me and family to new levels and heights in Christ. I write because this situation is bigger than him and the Newbirth Congregtion-This is a WAKE UP CALL to all believers. Sometimes God takes his righteous, radical, and obedient people to clean up a big mess that has been spreaded throughout generations-and swept under the rug-Well I’m glad God chose my Pastor Bishop Eddie L Long and the Newbirth congregation to be set up to tear down the DEVILS scheme of collecting souls. Sexually immorality God Hates -To lie with another man w/a man is an abomination (detestable) to God. But our God is a forgiving God, people will tear you down but when you repeant God cleans you up for the better calling. I’m not saying any of the sexual allegations are true. But because of who my Bishop is he taught me-and now, I want to speak on what I was taught. This is bigger than him-At this time in the body of christ God is calling for REPEANTANCE from every part of the body of Christ one cannot work without the other REPEANTANCE whether wrong or right produces healing in all believers- This situation has reached outside the box-Victims are hurt-church-gooers that do not read the word for themsselves are lost and confused- and believers are devastated and quiet. Let’s look at the big picture and start healing first and GOD will do the rest. This is a TEST for the body of Christ. Ask yourself who will get the VICTORY? -WAKE UP – WE THE BODY OF CHRIST – AND SEEK GOD LIKE NEVER BEFORE

God has no prejudice in saving his children! But why would this act of scrutiny destroy young men lives. How many times have we said “Why are they acting that way, Get a Job, Stop drinking or What’s wrong with him or her?” The underline problem is tuck your tail and hide behind God- yeah you might be alright. Our bodies are made in remembrance of him and within bringing harm to your body, you are harming Gods body! So in other words did he teach you…. A man enters another man will be harming him…!!!!!

Marita,
I am perplexed by your comments. Are you saying that God allowed Eddie Long to commit sin in order for the church to be awaken. I don’t recall anywhere in the Bible that it indicates that Jesus ever committed a sin to spread the Gospel. Now I don’t know for sure whether he did it or not, God and time will reveal that. But I guess what confuses me is the denial of people of the POSSIBILITY of the allegations being true. You have other clergymen, other influential African American leaders , radio personalities and such saying the allegations are not true and lets pray for Eddie Long. Let’s say that the allegations are found to be not true. Then the most these young men would have done was to lie. But what if they are true. Then Eddie Long would have committed a monstrosity on our community’s most valuable resources, OUR CHILDREN.. Had the allegations been made and alleged victim was anyone else, a teacher, doctor, father, neighbor than the response would have been totally different.. And he should be held to the same standard as everyone else. Being Bisop Eddie Long does not place him on a higher plan than anyone else. He IS NOT God! He is mere mortal, mere man. So yes just as if he was the man sitting on the corner with a bottle of wine at 9am in the morning he is CAPABLE of sin. Again, I don’t know if he’s guility but I do know as a parent until the allegations are thoroughly invesitgated he could not be in the presence of my child. Our children are our future and at this moment the world is looking at us and saying this man is alleged to have corrupted numerous young men yet still Afrcian Amercian politicians, radio personalities , thousands of church members still support him and stand behind him and riducle the alleged victims.. Come on people. Do you know how the world is viewing us. If we can’t protect our youth and stand by them in the face of adversity who will. The majority of people are stuck on saying oh Bishop this or Bishop that.. Even before that I had reservations about the church. Any person that drives a 350.000 car and you have members on the bus system come on. Their has gotten to be a better division of wealth. AND you can’t convience me that God only Blesses those who call themselves Bishop. Again, I don’t want to come off too judgemental but while New Birth is holding prayer meetings for Eddie Long also pray for the alleged victims. After all New Birth is a church right and you did say that all one has to do is repent right?. A coin has two sides and both sides should not show Eddie Long’s face. And yes I am in agreement these are trying times for everyone. But also show compassion and love for these young men. It would be a true travisty if these allegations are true and all they can remember is how they wer ostracized for speaking out after having dealth with these secrets for as long as they have

This is what Jim Jones said and did to his flock of people to follow and beleived in him! They couldn’t see the real truth or the real light….they died at the hands of this man and also fail to speak or talk against him…same things you are doing. Man has no power over God…this is what Long wants you to think!

I Dont understand why Bishop Eddie Long because he has money and wooed people to become members of his church is thought to be completely innocent and NO one thinks of the victims. Thats why so many young ladies don’t come forward to speak up about the same incidents. No one wants to believe them and it hurts. TD Jakes produced a movie about a similar thing “Thou Art loosed” and no one wants to believe the hurt. They just automatically believe the possible guilty.
The right people dont ask the right questions.
1. Why would you take a photo of yourself in spandex with a perfect visual of a hot tub for face book and you are a respected Pastor of such a prominent church?
2. Why do you spend money on young men and programs for them but not the same on all troubled youths including young women?
3. Did you have relations with these young men? Simple question. Yes or No?
Set the members and the public at ease. If yes. Get it over with and we need to start a healing process. Or no. We need this to clear up and move forward.

You guys are so bias and so blind. How can you support that lace-front wig wearing fool? He did not deny that he did not do something. He let his ego walk around like Rodan’s shadow. And the circus performance at the “New Burf” was just too much. But honey, they made sure the money was collected before he came on stage!

It is not my place to judge you as a Cristian, but within my human rights I am fighting not to! I feel a person can’t rewrite wrong… but can stop short of the temptation. From a person that was abused as a kid, having to tell and feelings thrown out the window, “Shut UP that didn’t happen!” Well of course it did, but hey who could a kid trust? Listen to the young and trust in their words- after all why will they prosecute themselves? “They are only Black Boys and he is your Pastor…..”

wanda.. i want to say that your comment on BIshop Eddie long is the most intelligently written and eloquently expressed comment i have seen on the situation to date. If more people were as opened minded and even thinking as you this matter could be handled with the fairness, respect and dignity that it deserves. Thank you for the pleasure of sharing in your intelligent process.

I also agree with wanda. I must say that everybody in this need prayer. It is hard on everyone and if this is true more so on the the young men that this happened to. Reason is that they held it in for so long. Everybody of the church are more than likely hoping that it is not true but what if it is whats going to happen to Bishop Eddie Long? And if its not whats gonna happen to the young men who said that this happened? All I have to say is just pray for everyone and put it in the hands of GOD..

If Eddie Long denies the charges and those boys are lying how could it hurt him? The only way it could hurt him is if he denies it and those four young boys can prove otherwise in court. We don’t need a lawyer to tell us common sense stuff. The boys that broke into Eddie Long’s office did so because they were having a lover’s spat. Those boys may not be the most innocent of people but they must obviously pose a real threat to Eddie Long for him to have to hire a big time private investigator. As for the boys credibility? No one has the ability to break into Eddie Long’s office unless they were very close to him. Eddie Long is the most protected man in Georgia and you can’t even get a seat close enough to see him if you go to the church because the security is so deep. If I was on the jury of this case that break-in would have very little to do with the case. I would be more concerned with why a 57 year old pastor with the responsibility to over 50,000 members and millions of viewers would have a love affair with children in his congregation. I would also would be concerned that Eddie Long would make a statement about casting rocks at young members of his church. What did he mean by casting rocks? Frank I think you have allowed your membership at Eddie Long’s church to deem you as ineffective and unprofessional as the #1 source of big stories in Atlanta. People want an unbiased perspective in regards to the news and this has been unprofessional at best!

Its hard knowing a man who has several churches called New Birth and find himself caught up into a whole lot of mess. It keeps coming one thing right after another. Many people want to be seen and part of the well to do and go to the length to be right in there only to find out that money rules over all of the fine homes, clothing and cars. As long as you have it; you are consider one of us; and when you lose it, you no longer part of the mainstream. What has mislead so many is what they have seen and it look good to them….then they are superseded by not being a key player. Churches are nothing to be played with because it set itself aside from other businesses. Do churches operates like a normal business; yes, but they are not suppose to in accordance with the 5013C. Churches pay no taxes and they fall in a whole different arena. New Birth is a massive structure holding as many people as it can. You can do the math; 5000 members paying their tiding equal to what; well depending on the monthly income and it is 10% tidings. Here is the sad thing members never think about; you give so the church can continue to operate and when you need help; you have to ask for benevolence assistance; then, your whole life history has to be known all over again before you get that help after you have been paying tides for years. You all are helping a man to live richly off of your dollars while you might be starving and still trying to remain one of the guys or dolls. Now we all are reading about the bad investment NB Congregaion has made and are now left holding the empty bank accounts; none might not be recover. Frank Ski are part of the NB well to do; he has never been up front with Long’s ongoing problem; no, no preacher should be living above his flock no matter how well a church is doing. He should receive a decent salary to live and to operate his daily duties; but not be give monies to live so high over his flock who are merely making it. Long has been deceitful and negligence in his own rights. I heard many people say that people can’t touch him; he is protected with a lot of security; that is so stupid unless he has made enemies by other people. The young men deserve a day in court to tell what happen. Long knows that he is finished anyway you look at this situation…settle out court, pay the money he is guilty; go to court and see how much dirt comes out; he lose with so much going against him. Remember, he said he was going to fight this things…I don’t see him tryhing to fight nothing, he want it to go away and even if it do, he still has lost his bishopship to many. I found way to many discrepancies in his ongoing lies that he started off saying he was going to tell his congregation on that sunday; he never did and tryed to make something else happen on his behalf. The thousands of people who were there are dissatisfied then and even to date. Litigation in court is one thing; but Long don’t want the truth to be told; he has already receive the word from God that he was going to lose this fight and he also know that it is ridiculous to even try and fight the truth. Compelling was what the men said with almost tears in their eyes….I know it hurt them but success some times gives people the wrong impression that they can do whatever and not be challenge about it. Finally, if all of our Ministers, and other gospel pronostercators of the faith would have came forth and said something about this whole thing; Long would not be in the pulpit trying to bring the words to other when he don’t have it himself. No matter who you are; where you live, your status in life; poor, adverage, rich or semi-rich, you better know the truth before you step into deep water and find out you can’t swim and there is no help coming for you. That is where all of NB members stands.
