In what is being called a sabbatical by some, Eddie Long told the New Birth congregation this morning that he will be taking a few weeks to “heal his family”. I love sabbaticals. Heck, I’m on one now. But I am taking a break from the insanity known as academia not from taking those awkward self-photos in my bathroom mirror or traveling to Africa with underage boys. I’m not fond of pictures, or boys. So, perhaps Long’s sabbatical will be a bit different.
Don’t worry though, New Birthers, Long says “I’m still your pastor. You’ll still receive my direction. You’ve given me some weeks to take care of some family business.” I am sure this is reassuring to the congregation. There is no one I would rather take spiritual direction from than that guy, pictured above. Praise the Lord, he is still available!
Long’s two children from his marriage with Vanessa were standing by his side on the pulpit. Vanessa Long was elsewhere seeking her spiritual direction as she has been for months.
Long said of course, that he is “not stepping down, he is stepping up.” Which of course means it’s opposite day at New Birth! I wonder if the sermon was from Matthew today. It might have been a grand ole Sunday to preach from oh, i dunno, say Chapter 24? Turn with me in the good book for a little peek. Matt 24:11 “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many ” or Matt 24:24 “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Y’all be careful.
Y’all reckon he hangs those pictures somewhere in that megachurch of his?
I just read the article on CNN. I didn't realize that Vanessa didn't put out that "I've changed my mind" about the divorce statement until I did. Going to read your post about that.
Not sure what you mean. He is pretty much dressed like half the ads on Manhunt, Grindr or Craigslist.Perfect for wooing boys.But can we talk about that tacky bathroom and the fact that he couldn't even be bothered to straighten up (pardon the pun) before he took his glamour shot? : shudder:
He is just another false prophet with a mega church.
I think same sex pedophilia is bad in the Christian Church, though the jury is still out at the Vatican. But surely people of all faiths as well as assorted heathens can agree those photos are an abomination in the sight of God, or Allah, or Brahman or well, anyone's sight besides maybe Stevie Wonder.
Well, for all the scriptures you posted there is no proscription in the bible against pedophilia so at least Eddie is still going to heaven.See also: Catholic Church
Ronald, read my post about three down on the link bar two the right. Vanessa never hesitated during the divorce filing. The church mad that statement to the media about her changing her mind.
His wife all confused about if she wanna file divorce or not and Eddie Longstroke KNOWS if he take a lil time off work and f*** her real good she'll stay with him, not file that multi-million dollar divorce, and write that tell all book.He's a man with a mission. Let's just hope it works!
