“I have never in my life portrayed myself as a perfect man, but I am not the man being portrayed on television That’s not me. That is not me.”
No., but now I believe it’s “the other side of you”, the private hypocritical side that you hide from the world and from the truth!
“Please hear this: the bishop continued – “I’ve been accused. I’m under attack. I want you to know as I said earlier I am not a perfect man. … But this thing I’m going to fight. I feel like David against Goliath, but I’ve got five rocks and I haven’t thrown one yet” said Long as he lay down his mic and strode off the podium to thunderous applause.
The Bishop addressed his crowded congregation this morning and not once did he deny the charges in lawsuits brought against him by 4 former Longfellow Academy students, who accuse him of coercion by gifting them with cash, cars, gifts and exotic trips in return for sex..
Afterwards, Eddie Long held a press conference but he didn’t take any questions from the media; he made a brief statement with his lawyers then left with his wife and family.
Eddie Long’s body language displays guilt and his eyes looked empty, as if he was heavily sedated.
The bishop’s wife, Vanessa Long, accompanied him to the pulpit. He held onto to that woman for dear life!

eddie long chose to be a bishop, now let’s see what the Bible says about that:
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then MUST BE BLAMELESS, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy LUCRE; but patient, not a brawler, NOT COVETOUS;
One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
NOT A NOVICE, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
MOREOVER HE MUST HAVE A GOOD REPORT OF THEM WHICH ARE WITHOUT; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not GREEDY OF FILTHY LUCRE;
Holding the mystery of the faith in a PURE CONSCIENCE.
And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, BEING FOUND BLAMELESS

I am still netural but believe something inappropriate happened I am just not sure to what extent.
Yes, we all have to give an account for those who believe such but we also have rules/laws of the land to follow and answer to down here as well.
Bishop said he was innocent in his own way when he said I am not that man BUT even if he said I am INNOCENT that doesnt mean that he is. Ted Haggard said he was innocent when he was hit with his homosexual scandel then later confessed #justsaying.

THE CHURCH has become a BUSINESS, and people are not following the word instead they are following THE MAN.
My sister says she doesn’t follow the minister she follows his message. I, on the other hand, am skeptical about the message coming from someone who doesn’t seem honest and trustworthy. HOW many churches are there on one block? How many denominations have come forth? There are false prophets out there and people need to open their eyes and ears.
I don’t see a need to dress up in an expensive suit-with matching alligator shoes to go with the outfit-FOR A PREACHER TO DELIVER THE WORD of GOD. There are broke people paying tithes to churches such as Mr. Long’s and the money is going right into pockets and lavish life styles.
Eddie Long, from what I’ve seen because I don’t know him, has become AN IMAGE. He is well put together on Sundays, but is all that necessary to deliver a message…I mean an IPAD?????….come on!.

For me, the # 1 clue to a person’s guilt is when they don’t deny it. Because of his “celebrity” status he can hide behind the “my attorney’s advised” blah blah blah bull shizzzzzzz. When the allegations first surfaced anyone who is 100% innocent would have been screaming it from the roof tops over/through attorneys and all; particularly because of the type of allegations. Instead he’s been coming up with a game plan and or strategy and those are not the actions of an innocent man. Even with the 4 accusers and the photos Long will always have supporters who will rationalize it all away; human nature. Lastly, Bernstein is not an amateur and her releasing the photos was her way of saying “I am not blowing smoke.” I have a feeling that the text messages and emails will be more damaging than the photos.

The look in his eyes is one of betrayal and defeat imo. He looks as if he never imagined people turning against him. But if innocent I can’t imagine his legal team saying don’t proclaim your innocence. You can do that without giving up any details. He should’ve have gave this speech (cause it was not a semon and I can only hope that an actual one was given today) and stepped down. It may have caused him to look guilty but he cannot guide, teach and tend to church business with this over his head. He should’ve announced that he will be allowing Minister XYZ to take over his leadership duties while he battles this in court and most would’ve thought nothing of his decision. To not do so is prideful and selfish to his members who don’t deserve to be subjected to a media circus each Sunday
As far as the iPad many preachers and churches embrace technology. Sermons are written in advance so I see nothing wrong with that. He could’ve typed his sermon and uploaded it to his iPad before service. Its actually more convenient for editing than standard pen and paper plus there are a lot of biblical and religious apps. I have the bible on my phone and if I forget my bible at home I will whip my phone out in a second to read passages and take notes. 😦 that’s just a sign of the times and not a big deal imo… every preacher has notes at the pulpit, this is no different.

@Intense – the issue to me is he was in a position of power. These boys (children or young men, whichever you prefer. Personally, even though in GA 16 is the age of consent, they are still children to me and whether they gave their consent or not, a pastor – a married one at that – should not be engaging in these kinds of activities). They were under his teaching. Whether they agreed or not isn’t the issue per se. Like I mentioned several days ago – abuse between teachers/students – even if students are old enough to “know better,” or between parents/children – men who molest their children even though the child is “of age” and so and and so forth use their positions to manipulate their victims. Even grown people can be dupped.
I mean, if their parents didn’t see something was wrong, why would they? They probably got caught up in the money, bright lights, etc. – you know those things that draw so many of us in.
That’s how I see it, but I respect other people’s opinions.

The he said he will get justice in these courts of justice?? He really thinks he is above it all.
He never mentioned anything about God or Jesus’ justice. He didn’t mention anything pertaining to being covered and protected by faith. He is in the biggest fight of his life and he, a man of the cloth, relies on the advice of his lawyer rather than counsel by the Holy Spirit.
He looks busted, chunky, greasy, drunk, not rested. He looks like a man about to lose his mind cause he is about to lose his bling.
As for that comment about the 5 stones, sounds like he is relying on his own strength rather than God’s. Like he is going to play dirty rather than honest. There was absolutely no fire in his voice or conviction in his manner.
Which means……
Stay tuned for the sex tape.

Some people can’t see the forest for the trees. If they would open their eyes! The young man standing at his right shoulder today during the press conference says it all. I pray that’s not his son. How can people continue to pay this man to rape their sons. You shall know a man by the company he keeps. He boasts his long fellows academy teaches and encourages masculinity. If that is the case why is it that every male I’ve seen thus far that’s a member of this so called academy reeks of femininity? It’s because his filthy hands have been all over them. Its a sad day for Black America when they put more trust in the words of a man than in the words of their own children. Yes these men are grown now but that still doesn’t make it ok. This man needs to be stopped. He was smart enough to groom these men but not touch them until they were the age of consent in Ga. Protecting his own behind. Nasty bastard!!

First of all, he seduced these young men. Apparently the age of consent is 16, so there is no crime there. The problem is his stance against homosexuality doesn’t jive with his practice of homosexuality. He is just a hypocrite, a liar, and a con artist like most “LIVING IN THE CLOSET DL MEN” Long IMO should have his ass whipped downtown ATL in the fuckin town square!

It is not a Gay issue I think it is more about the possibility that Bishop Long is the biggest hypocrite we have seen in awhile. The only reason the gay issue is involved is because of his witch hunt against gays and the gay community.

The bible says let your YES be yes and your NO be no. Matthew 5:37. Bishop Eddie L. Long could have given us a YES or NO answer if the allegations were TRUE or FALSE. Instead he wants to play with words.
Bishop Eddie L. Long, his members and ATL supporters ALL talk about what he has D.O.N.E. in the community and around the world. It does not matter to God what you do it matters to God that you keep his commandments. Eddie L. Long is going to HELL for what he did! I do not like the way he tried to use the WORD OF GOD on us just like he did those boys. Going to the bible to find scriptures to justify his WRONG DOINGS.
21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

I’ve read all four lawsuits, viewed the pictures, and watched his performance from the pulpit. I don’t believe him. What disturbs me more, however, is the sycophantic praise of his congregation and the delusional cheerleading of Bernice King, Dr. King’s daughter, who serves as one of his assistant pastors. She knows better. Her parents would be ashamed of her for participating in this spectacle.

For me the saddest spectacle is the conduct of his congregation. It is clear listening to the comments and adulation displayed toward this man that these are men worshipers. They idolize the church building and the trapping of religion. they have no desire to be faithful to any God except this demigod Eddie Long.
If this man were a true biblical Christian he would step down in respect for the office until charges all charges have been fully answered. This man is the church and is a religion within himself. He is the very type of religious leader that Jesus warned us about. A false religious teach disguising in the name of Christ.

Gay Americans in the closets must come out!!!! Americans need to know who is gay and who IS straight.
By declaring who you are, Americans will make a better choice of who they entrust their children. Many top religious leaders are being caught in gay activities when they are married and claim straight.It is important that Bishops and other religious leaders declare their sexual orientation so that church members make better choice of place of worship. Bishop Long’s allegations if proven will cause major trauma mentally and physically to his congregations and christian all over the world. Bishop Long has to defend lavish gifts and extravagant spending on these boys. This matter is not going away soon. We wait and see how this case develops in the days and months to come.

Wow! Comments like this is how I know Eddie Long will eventually get past this and be even more careful about his next set of victims.
According to the allegations, Eddie Long was your textbook case pedophile.
1. He picked victims who were in some way “damaged” and easily influenced.
2. He built trust with them by giving them love they weren’t getting from their absentee fathers.
3. He not only said he loved them, he showed them love by reaffirming words, extravagant gifts, did things for them.
4. He then isolated them (took one to New Zealand and the other to Kenya) when he first attacked/initiated them.
5. Afterwards he explained the “rightness” of his attack in his case a spiritual bonding to his spiritual son.
6. Then he continued to buy their silence with the gifts and justify his actions.
Sometimes it takes years for even abused adults to come to terms with the abuse they experienced. They don’t come forward because of the shame, they feel they were complicit in their abuse and knowing that people will disbelieve and demonize them

Good Morning Tracy et all……
Generally, I don’t like to speculate about cases until all the evidence is presented. In watching this sermon/press conference yesterday, I couldn’t help but feel something just isn’t right. Maybe he didn’t do something sexually with all of these four boys however some inappropriate behavior (which he in a sense admitted to by placing that disclaimer about him not being perfect) or conduct unbecoming of a bishop did in fact take place. Although the Bishop states “he is under attack” and he is not the man the media is trying to protray, there HAS to be some truth to these statements. I simply cannot see four heterosexual men claiming they participated in homosexual acts with a bishop for the sake of extortion and/or fame. Regardless of the outcome, if Bishop’s found guilty or not guilty, I will continue to pray for him and his family, the victims and their families as well as the others who are directly impacted by this scandal. I couldn’t wish this situation on my worst enemy.

In an interview that came out in 07 Eddie Long declared he was the head of his church. He bragged about that and said he wasn’t tied to a church board and makes all the decisions. IMO that’s too much power without having to answer to someone. If this scandal doesn’t bankrupt him or New Birth I bet it will change the dynamics of who is in charge and making decisions.
