That’s the name Bishop Eddie Long used when he was traveling and checking into lavish hotels with his young male church members. The men flew on Long’s personal jet and shared a bed with him at hotels.
However, the bulk of the relations occurred on the megachurch’s property, including inside Long’s “guest house” on Snapfinger Road in south DeKalb, GA.
The plaintiffs, Anthony Flagg, 21, and Maurice Robinson, 20, began having inappropriate relations with Eddie Long at the age of 16, which is the legal age of consent in Georgia, said their attorney B.J. Bernstein.
The suits allege that Long chose the plaintiffs to be his “Spiritual Sons,” a program that allegedly includes other young men from the church.
“Spiritual Sons are taken on public and private jets to U.S. and international destinations, housed in luxury hotels and given access to numerous celebrities including entertainment stars and politicians,” the suit alleges.
Flagg moved into a home owned by another New Birth pastor when he was a high school junior, according to the suit, where Long would sometimes share a bed with him. Flagg was eventually put on the church’s payroll, his suit alleges, with Long personally delivering his pay checks.
Flagg’s suit says that Long presided over a spiritual “covenant” ceremony between the two of them.
“It was essentially a marriage ceremony, with candles, exchange of jewelry, and biblical quotes,” Bernstein said Tuesday. “The bishop [told] him I will always have your back and you will always have mine.”
This is really sick!!
The suits allege that various staff members working for Long, his church and the Longfellows Academy — which the suit describes as an offshoot ministry of New Birth — “knew of Defendant Long’s sexually inappropriate conduct and did nothing to warn or protect [the plaintiffs].”

What got me was the cult like feeling after the extravagant light show following the ghostly praise-dancers running everywhere. I left feeling violated.
And his church requires you to join by filling out an application in a office next to the ATM machine across from the bookstore in the lobby. No Joke! Bishop Long members seem brainwashed and very cult like.
He could stand in the pulpit and get sucked and packed among the members, and they will still deny him any wrong-doing.
Also, I do recall wondering away looking for the restroom and noticed some of his executive staff photos on a wall, lets say he trust YT’s to manage his shit.
