Bishop Long Scandal: Wife Vanessa Long Uses Women's Conference to Speak Out

Bishop Long Scandal: Wife Vanessa Long Uses Women's Conference to Speak Out

During the women's ministry at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Vanessa Long spoke on the struggles she endured during husband Eddie Long's sexual misconduct allegations in 2010 and her subsequent filing for divorce in 2011, a petition which she ultimately chose to close and dismiss.

"I was in the middle of a storm, and I got off the ship," Long metaphorically explained of her marriage struggles to the hundreds of women attending the Heart to Heart women's ministry on Aug. 21, which is coordinated by New Birth Baptist Church and serves as a speaking forum for Christian women.

Take a listen to this:

Long, an elder at New Birth, told those in attendance that while she struggled with the decision to divorce Bishop Eddie Long after he was faced with multiple accusations of sexual misconduct with male minors in Sept. 2010, she ultimately chose to return to her marriage and to the New Birth family so she could share her experience and offer guidance for others.

Will Celebrity Preacher Bishop T. D. Jakes Preach Against Gay Marriage at ManPower Conference?

As you read in our previous article, regarding Bishop T. D. Jakes upcoming conference for women (Woman Thou Art Loosed), in our opinion we feel any man or woman of God should preach against any sin God mentions in His Word and this includes homosexuality.   Since celebrity preacher Bishop T. D. Jakes has been in the presence of the president of America, we wonder does he fear God to preach the truth or is he controlled by the president's gay agenda?   Now, that Bishop Jakes has another conference coming up for men, ManPower, we ask this question again, is he going to touch on the subject of gay marriage and specifically homosexuality among other sins?   This question must concern the body of Christ, because we have family members we do not want to be eternally lost, believing they will enter into the Kingdom of heaven be gay or lesbian.  


At Manpower, Bishop T. D. Jakes will be charging similar to his 'Woman Thou Art Loosed'.  So obviously, this is not your average revival like back in the day when souls of all ages would just come in the church or a town hall off the streets to get delivered and set free at the alter, not being expect to pay a fee (we will get on that subject for our future article).


When each and every minister comes to the end of his or her life, their ministry will be examined.   You see, God knows about what is going on within the political arena and He is keeping record of who is preaching based on His complete commandments.   How do we know this fact?  Of course, when we heard the testimonies on our videos page of Mary K. Baxter and Bishop Earthquake Kelley, we heard how God is angry at certain ministers for not preaching against sin and for fame and fortune.  According to Baxter's testimony, there are souls in hell whom once preached the gospel, but not according to God's expectancy.  Therefore, celebrity preachers like Bishop T. D. Jakes are expected to preach against any sin that is mentioned in God's Word and we are not talking about out of the Gospel of Inclusion Bible.

For those of you men whom maybe attending such conferences, please recognize that God wants to deliver you and set you totally free and when it happens, it does not have to occur at a paid event where you will see the most rich and famous televangelist.   Your deliverance can happen right in your home and you can open up your Bible and read these following scriptures if you need answers, regarding your sexuality.   God loves you and will except you into His Kingdom, but only if you have lived your life, according to His Word, no other way.  If these celebrity preachers are not going to tell you, we must tell you the truth, gay marriage or even just being a homosexual, or any other sin is not accepted in God's Kingdom and we have the following scriptures to prove it.

Biblical Scriptures against Homosexuality 

•  1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

• Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable." 

• Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." 

• Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

AT2W’s Take: Bishop Bloomer’s Interview with Obnoxious TV’s William McCray [Part 2] | AT2W

Now, here we are onto Part 2. We want to discuss the actual interview part of the meeting between Obnoxious TV's William McCray and Bishop George Bloomer.

We will state this again: We are taking time to discuss this because we know that it is important to deal with some of the issues that were brought up. Even though William McCray is a color individual, he had some very warranted statements that need to be addressed.

In the beginning of the interview, Bishop Bloomer starts off by asking McCray to give the first word that comes to his mind as he responds to the many initial words that were thrown at him. Bloomer seemed to do...Read the powerful details and what the church needs to wake up on below:

AT2W’s Take: Bishop Bloomer’s Interview with Obnoxious TV’s William McCray [Part 2] | AT2W

After We Watched Obnoxious, William McCray III: Take It Serious Bishop Bloomer, People Are Hurting Because of Preachers Like Bishop Eddie Long

We do not think Bishop Bloomer knows the pain of how many men and women endure, after preachers like Bishop Eddie Long allegedly molest them, it is nothing to take lightly.   Many African Americans leave the black church, because they are tired of being blamed for honestly admitting they have been sexually abused.  Of course, William McCrary can only speak in defense for gay men, but we also are also defending women whom have been abused by men and women, after admitting they have been sexually violated by them.   It is not just the gay men whom are taken advantage of, after preachers like Bishop George Bloomer, Bishop Eddie Long and others hire them to sing and choir directors.   Many times, gay men do not realize women whom have been also gay have been also in my emotional distress, because they are betrayed by men and the women who support the black preachers whom molest them, even when they are on the down low.   So, we applaud William McCrary and his viewpoint, but it is much more betrayal than that and it is time for preachers like Bishop George Bloomer to stop trying to cover it up and just listen, accept the truth, then apologize for all of the pain these sexually perverted preachers have caused within the black church among both men and women.


Does Bishop Bloomer realize how many men and women have tried to live holy as reformed homosexuals, after being turned out as gays and lesbians by the very preachers whom preach against homosexuality?   Does Bishop George Bloomer realize there are also many women whom have suffered severe depression after their mother refused to believe their pastors have tried to molest their own child who confided in them and in some cases, did so?  Bishop Bloomer should take it very serious, because many men and women become confused after they are told they are demon possessed, after they have honestly admitted to being molested by their family pastors.   Let us also remind preachers like Bishop George Bloomer, many men and women are rebuked in front of many black church congregations and told they are full of the Devil, after they have admitted they were approached for sex or even raped by black preachers.  This is one of the main reasons why the black community has been destroyed and the black church cannot never help those within it.  Too much damage has been done and it is not just because of the drug dealers and those whom by the drugs.  The black community is not destroyed just because of crime and those infected with HIV/AIDS.  It is because of black preachers whom are not doing their job for Jesus Christ.  They offend God when they molest young children, teens and pretend not to understand why they do not return to church as grown black men and women.   Bishop George Bloomer should also remember there have been married black preachers whom have infected black men and black women with AIDS and expect them to remain quiet.   Let us remind Bloomer and others, God don't like ugly and He sees the pain and why so many African Americans have died within the black church.

Furthermore, doesn't Bishop George Bloomer realize black men and black women have been divided, all because the black church became so greedy for tithes and offerings, over the last 20 years?  Yes indeed, black men and black women have not been attracted to each other, since black pastors chose to make their churches mega ministries and by doing so, they have  encouraged diversity to influence more bi-racial couples, allegedly.   This hurts, after so many black men and black women lost their lives to AIDS.   However, money seems to be the reason why there has been so much diversity in the black church and during approximately the last 20 years, black men and black women have avoided each other while they seem to hate each other, even while not in church.  Meanwhile, after all the diversity is encourage to allegedly rack in millions of dollars, black men and black women are still allegedly the largest to die of AIDS, according to statistics at avert.org.  So while black preachers are yet trying to gain millions of dollars from diversity in their ministries, black men and black women are yet being molested and the most to have died of AIDS in the country of America.   Bishop George Bloomer must realize this hurts and if black preachers do not start waking up, the population of black men and black women will become much less than it already has.   Does Bishop George Bloomer realize how many black men and black women have died of AIDS in the black church, there has been many whom have lost their lives other than the late Rev. James Cleveland.   Many discreet down low bishops and pastors have pretended not to like being homosexuals while infecting their black wives and fiances. Is there any concern for those women?   We want to know if Bishop George Bloomer or Bishop Eddie Long even care to acknowledge these cases of women whom have been sexually violated by these black preachers and been infected with AIDS while they are raking in millions of dollars while reminding everyone one their ministry is multicultural, not necessarily a black church.  One of the main reasons why black men and black women hate each other, is simply because a lot of the damage has been caused by black preachers whom encourage black women and black men to marry outside of their race without thinking about all of the cases of black men and black women yet suffering and dying with HIV/AIDS.

We would also have wanted Bishop George Bloomer to realize that it is unfair to accuse people like William McCray of being demon possessed just because they admit the truth and desire to stop preachers like Bishop Eddie Long whom allegedly took advantage of black men and black women.   People are not full of the Devil just because they admit the truth and desire to put an end to all the pain and suffering, which has destroyed many black men and black women whom tried to live for the Lord, but were emotionally and sexually violated by these "so-call" black bishops, pastors and evangelists. How can people be told they are full of the Devil when black many preachers have allegedly sold their souls to the Devil and made God House into a night club "hip-hop" atmosphere?  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24).

Bishop Earl Paulk's Torch of Scandal Handed Down to Bishop Long [Part 2]

This is part two of pastors whom appear to be scandalous, not all by being mentored by Bishop Earl Paulk, but we can say there is a strong connection of scandal present.

We (AT2W) have researched and have actually covered extensive news on our Bishop Eddie Long page who was accused by four men Jamal Parris, Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson and Spencer LeGrande of sexual misconduct in Sept. 2010. The four men alleged Bishop Long lavished them with money, cars, apartments and trips while being members the church at ages as young as 14 years old. The pastor has since paid the young men off in an undisclosed settlement this year in May 2011. There was also an unknown 5th accuser, Centino Kemp who joined in the settlement but not everyone is believing his story completely.

But let’s not get into this news right now because it is just the fall after the rise of Bishop Eddie Long. In the beginning, Bishop Long became pastor of Traveler’s Rest Baptist church in Scottsdale, Ga near Atlanta in 1984 when Kenneth Samuels was pastor. There was a group of pastors at the church including Bishop Eddie Long and because Long could bring in more members, he was chosen to be the pastor of the church. Samuels admitted later that the people of the church felt Long could do a better job at growing the church than he could. Consequently, Samuels had members follow him to start his gay affirming Victory Church in Stone Mountain, Ga. Samuels’ wife subsequently divorced him after the ‘changes’ set in.

Ephren Taylor's Ponzi Scheme May Include Hundreds of Victims in Class Action Suit

 

Here's an official press release from the Lerman Firm whom are handling the class action lawsuit against Ephren Taylor which may reach into the hundreds and totaling the tens of millions of dollars. The press release calls Ephren Taylor a preacher and says he has allegedly scammed several churchgoers from state to state.
We actually heard him speak on a national television show that he'd ultimately be a pastor because it pays good money. Go figure.
Below is the press release:

Youngest African American CEO Ephren Taylor Hit with Class Action Lawsuit Alleging Serial Ponzi Schemes That Bilked Churchgoers Out of Millions

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A class action lawsuit alleges that Ephren W. Taylor II, famous for becoming "America's youngest African American CEO of a public company," was in reality the ringleader of a series of cynical Ponzi schemes that stole tens of millions of dollars from hard-working churchgoers.  Taylor was prominently featured in media outlets including NPR, Fox, ABC, CNN, Forbes and others, and was apparently tapped to create and manage a $1 million endowment fund for rapper Snoop Dogg's Youth Football League.

The lawsuit, filed this month in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, accuses Taylor and other individuals and financial institutions who allegedly helped him perpetrate his Ponzi schemes with wire fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property, money laundering, racketeering, violations of the RICO Act and a number of other serious violations.

Does the Apostolic Church Still Practice Holiness Though Many Members Strayed Away?

Back in the early 1980's born again believers of the Apostolic church represented themselves in a holy fashion.   Apostolic preachers were more strict than the Church of God in Christ, at that time, and they preached strict holiness, nothing else. Among Apostolic saints, they either identified themselves as "Jesus Only" or "Jesus Name".   The Apostolic preacher would preach against women wearing pants, makeup, jewelry or any loose sort of attire.  The Apostolic saints did not even believe in watching television.  You had to be baptized in Jesus Name, in order to be saved and a baptism pool could always be found in every Apostolic sanctuary.  In the 21st century, the descendants of this denomination have ceased from the teachings of their forefathers.  Therefore, they have yielded to the ways of the world like any other denomination and you cannot tell them a part from ungodly people.   Our question is, what caused the descendants of the Apostolic faith to rebel and negatively influence other Christians.  Was money that important to cease from their foundation of being holy?


Here are some big names who have negatively influenced the church world and God is not pleased with their rebellion: Bishop T. D. Jakes, Tonex, Elder Cage _mother of psalmist, Byron Cage has been a minister at Bishop Eddie Long's Church for several years), Tye Tribett, just to name a few.

Bishop T. D. Jakes is a descendant of the Apostolic Church and appears to have sold his soul to the Devil, check out our latest article, regarding him caught on video throwing up Satanic hand gestures. He has been caught doing Satanic hand signs on national television and many people in the church are not educated enough to understand what they are. They are Illuminati signals to the Devil to acknowledge to the world their soul belongs to him.  Jakes has even preached a sermon on Ruth and Naomi as if he agrees with homosexuality.  Jakes has endorsed the hip-hop movement in gospel music and has made it known that Mary Mary is his favorite artist.  Mary Mary have also been caught on video allegedly doing the Illuminati hand sign.

Corporate Millionaire Pastors Like Bishop Eddie Long: God Says Stop Seeking Money and Seek Souls

For over 20 years we have seen too many millionaires in the pulpits and too many poor people in their pews and even out on the streets.   The movement of the million dollar corporate mega ministries has flourished all over America and reaching abroad.   God has had enough of seeing His House made into multi-million dollar corporations.   Well known millionaires in the pulpits do not realize God's wrath on them, possibly except for Bishop Eddie Long.  However, there are others who have been worshiping money so much, they have robbed people by constantly preaching on tithes and offerings while many souls are dying going to eternal hell and damnation.  God is tired of these ministers always opening up the Bible while fussing about people not giving their churches and ministries enough money: Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Eddie Long, Paula White, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and many others who do not have at least one homeless shelter (as we know of).

God says for these corporate millionaire pastors of mega ministries to stop seeking money and seek souls to bring into His Kingdom.  He desires for all of his children to prosper, but not rob others who also desire the same thing.   When is the last time we have heard any corporate pastors preach against sin and bring souls into God's Kingdom through repentance?   God is tired of looking at slave masters in leadership over His House.  He wants so-call men and women of God to come down to the level of the people they preach to and stop acting as though they are above them.   God is the only one above all men and until these corporate ministers realize and accept this fact, peace they will not possess.  For over 20 years we have seen too many millionaires in the pulpits and too many poor people in their pews and even in the streets.   The movement of the million dollar corporate mega ministries has flourished all over America and reaching abroad.   God has had enough of seeing His House made into multi-million dollar corporations.   Well known millionaires in the pulpits do not realize God's wrath on them, possibly except for Bishop Eddie Long, but he won't change.  There are also are others who have been worshiping money so much, they have robbed people by constantly preaching on tithes and offerings while many souls are dying going to eternal hell and damnation.  God is tired of these following ministers always opening up the Bible while fussing about people not giving their churches enough money: Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Eddie Long, Paula White, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and many others who do not have at least one homeless shelter.

God is the only one above all men and until these corporate ministers realize and accept this fact, they will not have any peace saith the Lord.  God wants all of those who preach and teach out of His Word to stop making it as though money is their focus.  He wants reaching souls to be their only focus.  God has put up with these pastor's wealthy lifestyle while feeling sad about their struggling church members and the homeless for too long.   God is demanding for these rich ministers to shift the way they have been doing things in their ministries and reveal the glory of God.  He desires for them to change their ways, immediately.

Demons of homosexuality have been taking dominion in America, all because of the greed in the pulpits.  If these pastors would stop focusing on money and seeking souls and making it a priority to help cleanse them from their sins, then we would not have such dominion of homosexuality in the among churches, politicians and in schools around our children.   God wants these corporate pastors and evangelists over multi-million dollar ministries to take heed to his command before it is everlasting too late for them to shift and repent.  God no longer wants church members to act like slaves to their pastors, but He desires for them to follow Him and become His servants for His Kingdom.    The slave master and slave mentality has been going on for too long and God commands it to come to an end.   However, as long as there are followers of ministers like Bishop Eddie Long, Bishop T. D. Jakes, Joyce Meyer, Benny Hinn, Paula White or whomever else will have power to be their slave master.   God says he wants all of the people who have been worshiping these 'so-call celebrity' corporate ministers to stop and start worshiping Him, because His wrath is coming and it will be everlasting too late.


Can't you see?  It is so clear why God brought Bishop Eddie Long's dirt out and pulled the cover off of him.   He was giving him a chance to bow down and repent.  Falling down in front of the media and his church was and is not enough.   God is waiting for Bishop Eddie Long to humble himself and reveal that he has not always been right.   Even if he does not confess the truth before his church, he must come clean before God, because God is not finished with Bishop Eddie Long or any other minister in the pulpit who has been focusing on money and not seeking souls for His Kingdom.

Does Bishop Paul Morton Have a Right to Publicly Rebuke Bishop Eddie Long?

Absolutely not, Bishop Paul Morton does not have a right to rebuke, humiliate or speak out against Bishop Eddie Long, because he has nothing to do with Bishop Long's past sex scandal, which he most likely already asked God to forgive him for by now.  Bishop Paul Morton needs to repent himself, because it seems like he is enjoying Bishop Long not being so popular, lately and he has made mockery of him paying off the four young victims.  Furthermore, Bishop Morton's past sex scandal in his own New Orleans ministry at Greater St. Stephens Full Gospel Baptist Church has been forgotten about, but God has not forgotten about it, if Morton has not repented for avoiding to speak with the mother of the young accuser who his late choir director molested, Phillip Burton.  So, his public speech ridiculing Bishop Long is nothing more than a cover up of his own past sins and possibly more we are not aware of.  The audio can be heard at AToast2Wealth.com website.   Isn't God hurt about Bishop Paul Morton speaking to Bishop Eddie Long before his congregation as though he is beneath him?  Yes indeed, and God does not put Bishop Morton above Bishop Eddie Long and they both are subject to correction and chastisement by God.

The question is, why did Bishop Paul Morton, his wife and church officials ignore the mother of the teenage boy who desired to speak with someone about being molested by the late Elder Phillip Britton who has allegedly died of AIDS in 2008?   Did they have the right to do so?   Not at all. Another question, who should be rebuking Bishop Paul Morton for publicly making a statement in 2001 through his then spokesperson, Angela Young saying Britton is innocent until proven guilty? He made this statement while refusing answer the phone calls and meet with the mother of the molested teen. And he had the audacity to complain that Bishop Eddie Long will not return his phone calls?  For what? 

Furthermore, it is not Christ like for Morton to say anything to Bishop Eddie Long instead of going to New Birth himself to confront him like a real man of God.

Should Creflo Dollar Resign As Pastor of World Changers?

As you know, Pastor Creflo Dollar bullied the former members of New Birth for leaving, after Bishop Eddie Long settled his lawsuit, allegedly over $25 million dollars, split between four plaintiffs.   We do not know if you heard Not Your Typical Negro's video that taped Dollar raging at the former members of New Birth Missionary baptist Church, but it was very ugly and it was uploaded at our sister site, AToast2Wealth.com.   Creflo Dollar came off as a gangster, you know the type of mobsters that run the drug cartels and murder people.   He used God as though He understood Bishop Eddie Long molesting young men who at the time were teenagers, by making an excuse that simply, he fell.   He placed Bishop Eddie Long's guilt on his members as though he had the right to blame them.   Creflo Dollar not only came across as a bully, but also a slave master, by publicly threatening the former members as though they are nothing.

www.AToast2Wealth.com

We desire for Creflo Dollar to permanently step down, not only from World Changers, but the ministry, all together.   For this reason, no man or woman of God has the right to bully anyone.   For many years has prospered off of tithes and offerings, just like Bishop Eddie Long for too long.   It would be very wise for Creflo Dollar to step down, because he tried to control the minds of those who felt led by the Spirit of God, refusing to remain in a church that has a pastor that did not fight like David, instead he gave in as though he was guilty of molesting all four of those young men.  Creflo Dollar is not a man of God, he is a false prophet, who is profiting off of his followers' hard earned money.   He went too far bullying those former members of Bishop Eddie Long's Church.  How dare he talk to them as though they are lower than scums of the earth.  Those members are not to be treated as though they are beneath Dollar or Bishop Eddie Long.   As the body of Christ, we do not need false prophets like Creflo Dollar misrepresenting God's Kingdom and acting as though God loves Bishop Long than his alleged victims, acting as though God loves both of them as though they are superior like white slave masters and acting as though people cannot make their own decisions.   Creflo Dollar not only needs to step down, World Changers needs to be closed and reopened as a homeless shelter, so homeless people can have warmth, shelter, food, and be fed spiritual food from a real man or woman of God.  

www.AToast2Wealth.com

Instead of showing off, raging against the members who made the decision to leave Bishop Eddie Long's church, Creflo Dollar should have been taking care of the poor and needy.  Instead of making an announcement that God will send Bishop Eddie Long to heaven, even though he had sex with young (teenage) men, he should have been taking care of God's Kingdom by just preaching the Word of God, not speaking out about Bishop Long's bad choices and taking sides with him.   Taffi Dollar needs to follow him out of the pulpit, because she has not been right by sharing the wealth.   The reason by Creflo Dollar was speaking out in a domineering way, is simply because he feels as though he is superior.   However, what does God say about the way he carried on in the pulpit while raging at the former members of New Birth?  God is not pleased.
