Bishop Eddie Long Says He Doesn't Want His Case Tried By the Court of Public Opinion

Great point, Jen!

In this case, it was four separate ascusers. It will always be their word against his.

If any more come out of the woodwork, then his credibility will be shot.

Brother Richard, His credibility is already shot. His record is stained no matter what. Like michael Jackson, there are always going to be those who say what if he did do it.
You're right sister Jen, people put to much faith in the pastor instead of the word being brought forward through the pastor supposedly from God and alot of the times its fake. The bible already tells tells us so we should retain our judgement til the ends results, but we should be open to the possibilities that this could be true. I think we already know in our hearts the answer. I don't see how 4 people who don't even know each other can say the same things happened and even if they didn't he has to prove beyond a shadow of the doubt his innocense and its beyond me how he will accomplish this.

I heard this on the Doug Banks Show yesterday..... 4 young men.... 4 young men... and their pictures were on line... and the photos Bishop Long was sending on his phone....
Point One.... Men/Males are not going to just come out and accuse another man just for the sake of it....

But... let Lady Justice (who's blind.... crazy...racist) preside over this case.... But I tell you... sumn' just ain't rite!!!

When the parishioner said she felt something go through her body to hear the Bishop speak. Do you think that because he is the one who blesses the communion, he has an influence over his members reactions or behavior?

this is getting ugly everyday ,,,
the more i hear about it i
see why he dont want the public to judge him
he is in the fight of his life ,,,if the devil can get the head
he can scatter the whole body ! it dont look good !

Thanks for all your comments to this blog.

@ Brother Rich and Sister Anita~~ I couldn't agree with you guys more. The Bishops reputation is tarnished and whether some of his parishioners will admit it or not, they aren't going to be so free to hand over there young boys to him. I know the truth and so does Eddie Long as well as those boys, and the God he says he serves

@ Sister Irma,
You and both know that public opinion can be something else, but in light of the scandals of other Prostestant pastors and Catholic priests the public has every right to be judgemental or fickle.

@ Sister Helen
I think the woman who had chills run thru her body was probably having a menopausal moment or the very least she might have needed a shawl to throw over her shoulder because some churches are cold early in the morning~ Ha!

@ David
You are right about the Bishop being in the fight of his life; the fight to hold on to his Dynasty that he's built for himself using the parishioners' money and hard earned sweat.

Sister Jen you are too funny LOL . I just had a good gut busting laugh resulting in tears. You have sayings like my grandmother used to have and it just tickles me.
But seriously You are so right, if Bishop in the past had admitted to something in his past occurring, he wouldn’t have such a uphill chance of proving his innocence. Instead he denounced homos*xuality vehemitely and now its coming back to bite him in the butt. Me thinks the brother does protest too much!
Yes brother Kirkland also had been molested when he was younger and admitted to having issues with it, but it should be told, there are a lot more in the ministry who haven’t admitted to it yet and I feel its just a timebomb waiting to happen, but when it explodes, these righteous parishioners better hold onto their dress hat, because a change is coming!

I know, right!

Me, public opinion is just too fickled and has too many blinders on to even have someone who wants justice will never, ever get a voice to even speak pro or con which does not matter because most minds have already been made up at the "I HEARD" stage. lol (smile)

Cynthia, I so fully agree with you, that governor of the state of South carolina used his states money and plane to fly across states l-i-n-e-s to have s*x with his mistress in south America, his wife divorced him, he neglected his duty as govrnor by lying about how his government staff could contact him...

and, we heard less about him in all of these months on teh mass media than we have heard of the Bishop in whay less than a week?!?

ONLY IN AMERICA OR COULD THIS BE ANOTHER CASE OF US TAKING TH ELEAD IN BRINGING US DOWN???????????????????????????????? (NUP BIG TIME)

@Helen, "I" did not see this woman you mentioned getting emotional...

but "I" have seen many times9over the past two years) on COUNT DOWN @MSNBC SARAH PALIN GETTING EMOTIONAL SHOCKS GOING THROUGH HER WHOLE BODY WHEN HER EMPORTED STRAIGHTE FROM AFRICA B-L-A-C-K (IN HER LOCAL HOME TOWN CHURCH SHE ATTENDS) CASTING THOSE WITCHES OUT OF HER BODY SO SHE COULE BECOME GOVEROR.(FOTFLMAO)
