New Birth Crowns Bishop Eddie Long As King!

The ReadyWriter

Bishop Eddie Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist church brought in a controversial “Rabbi” to crown Long as King in an elaborate Jewish ceremony using what appeared to be a fake 300-year-old sacred scrolls, that were found discarded outside of a concentration camp in Germany in the early 1940s.

The Rabbi who performed the show of support for Bishop Long, is not even jewish:

Messer is a proponent of so-called Messianic Judaism, a religious movement founded in the 1960s that wraps evangelical Christian theology in Jewish cultural trappings.

Put simply, it’s a Christian movement. Messer is a Christian minister.

And despite Messer’s claim to be acting “on behalf of the Jewish people and the land of Israel,” there’s nothing Jewish about the performance he put on at Long’s church. Neither the ritual nor the language of Messer’s act have any basis in Jewish traditions, while his repeated references to the divinity of Jesus and quotations from the Christian bible make his actual theology clear.

Also, the “priceless” Torah scroll Messer wraps Long in is almost certainly a fake. As you can see at 5:15 in the video, the thing is held together with scotch tape.

Oh, and one more tip for “Rabbi” Messer, if he’s reading this. The name of the Nazi concentration camp where you claim you found that scroll? It’s Auschwitz-Birkenau, not “Auschwitz and Birkendal.”

Eddie Long supporters/followers are doing everything in their power to make him look innocent, holy and consecrated, without an admission of guilt or repentance from the Bishop. What’s so very scary about this performance is, New Birth is lifting up man and not God.

The Bible clearly states: “If I (meaning God) be lifted up from the earth, I’ll draw all men unto me” (John 12:32). It’s important to know the TRUTH people because the enemy is fooling the very elect.

Bishop Eddie Long Is Taking Some Time Off

The ReadyWriter

Because his foundation is slowly crumbling right before his eyes and his family structure will no longer be his front. Below is the statement as reported on CNN:

Bishop Eddie Long, head of one of the nation’s largest mega-churches, announced Sunday he is “taking time off” to work on his family.

The announcement came three days after his wife Vanessa filed for divorce.

Although her husband’s church issued a statement later that same day saying she was withdrawing the divorce petition, Vanessa Long’s attorney said she was proceeding with the divorce.

Last spring, Long, head of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, settled a lawsuit filed by four young men who accused him of pressuring them into sexual relationships while they were teenagers and members of the congregation.

I don’t think Bishop Long’s family need to be worked on, I think it’s Bishop Long who has the problem. He’s determined to live in the closet and not fess up to his secret lifestyle of homosexuality and hypocrisy. Pride always comes before the fall!!!

Thanks to a loyal CEO blog reader (who shall remain anonymous) for the story tip.

Vanessa Long Changed Her Mind… No Divorce

The ReadyWriter

24 hours after filing for divorce from embattled Atlanta preacher Bishop Eddie Long, his long-suffering wife, Vanessa Long, has asked her attorneys to withdraw her divorce petition.

Mrs. Long blames “years of attacks in the media” for her abrupt decision to file for divorce yesterday (Dec. 1).

But in a new statement released this afternoon, Mrs. Long said:

“Upon prayerful reflection, I have reconsidered and plan to withdraw my petition for divorce from my husband, Bishop Eddie L. Long,” she said in an emailed statement bearing the New Birth logo. “I love my husband. I believe in him and admire his strength and courage.”

Yesterday, Mrs. Long appeared to give up on her marriage to the troubled leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church:

“After a great deal of deliberation and prayer, I have decided to terminate my marriage to Bishop Eddie L. Long. Accordingly, I authorized my attorneys to file for divorce on December 1, 2011.”

Vanessa sound like she’s confused!!! Either that or money truly talks. Confusion does not follow prayer, God speaks and one listens then decides with a clear and made up mind. Her actions don’t look credible now.

“The Secret (SEX) Life Of A Middle Aged Married Man”

The ReadyWriter

This article is not only shocking but down right disgusting! A union is between a man and a woman, a husband a wife; for two are to unite not three. The third person in a marriage should be God, not another woman or another man. But in this article, this married man is in love with a man.

I’m a 57-year-old man. Fat. Bald. I have a wife I like. And a boyfriend I love. I’ve been “happily” married for over 37 years. Yet I’ve been leading a secret double life since I turned 50. In the age of Lady Gaga and her mainstream kink videos, a married man in love and having sex with another man is one of the final taboos. I used to think that myself. Nobody talks about it. There aren’t books or movies about it. It’s the ultimate closet.

What I’ve learned in these past few years is that men, even married men, can fall in love with men. A “bromance” can naturally involve touching and it’s completely normal. This is what men have been doing since the start of time, and what men are made to do.

I’m not going to feel bad about who I am — I did that for long enough. In the immortal words of Popeye, “I yam what I yam.” In the mortal words of Lady Gaga, “I was born this way.”

I will say it and say it again, YOU ARE NOT BORN GAY!!!! THAT’S A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL PEOPLE!!!! God is God and He is all-knowing… and God knew his intent in making woman for man, point-blank-period!

My boyfriend knows about my wife. She doesn’t know about him. Yes, it’s a problem that I’m married. It’s sad. I care for my wife and I don’t want to hurt her, which is one of the reasons why I’ve kept it secret for so long. I’m not putting her at physical risk, but the emotional risk is very real. I’m truly sorry about that.

So to hell with his wife, so what if she dies from aids or catch an STD, it’s about living a double life of fulfilling and satisfying a selfish need. Wow!

You’re not the same person at 50 you were at 20 (if you are you haven’t grown). So we are different people, stuck in the same institution.

I had been “curious” as a teenager and had one encounter with a friend. It wasn’t a good experience, I didn’t like it, so I convinced myself I never needed to do it again. Then I spent almost 30 years being faithful (the last 10 of those being celibate).

But if you’re curious, or at least not totally afraid of the idea of being with another man, those feelings never go away. Never. There are online support groups for married men who are curious, and that’s a constant. Once you have that urge, you always have that urge.

Sex is completely natural and normal for every creature on this planet — even sex among males. Sex feels good for a reason, and that reason isn’t solely so that we’ll procreate within the bounds of a marriage.

Sex is normal. Sex is natural. Sex is good.

Love is even better.

Even so, I wasn’t looking for love, I was looking for real male-bonding, friendship, a physical connection, and acceptance.

Once I was absolutely clear about that, I put a very specific ad on Craigslist and met another man looking for the same thing. I’ll go into details about this handsome, sweet, smart, funny, creative, kind, beautiful man soon.

Neither of us planned on falling in love. It wasn’t a decision or choice, it was a spiritual connection on the very deepest level. And for the first time in my life, it’s a complete love, spiritual, emotional and physical — and it’s completely honest, with no lies or omissions.

Love is a beautiful thing. And while I know that our love will hurt my wife, I also know it’s right. I know it with all my heart. And then maybe she can find real love, too.

If he was so in love with this man, he would tell his wife and set them both free; but instead he chooses to stay on the downlow in order to live an outward appearance of normality. I could respect him more if he was openly gay but he’s having the best of both his worlds with his double lifestyle.

“Bishop Eddie Long Is Talking Because His Accusers Are”

The ReadyWriter

Jamal Parris, 24, and Spencer Legrande, 23, are speaking out about their experiences with Long, despite signing a confidentiality agreement. And Bishop Eddie Long wasted no time responding to his accusers yesterday.

Apparently, Long’s accusers aren’t happy with the terms of the structured settlement they agreed upon earlier this year. They thought their $2 million settlements spread out over 20 years was a generous amount — until they started spending the cash and discovered that $100,000 doesn’t go a long way when you’re greedy and have extravagant tastes.

In a message to his congregation posted on the church’s website, Long wrote:

New Birth Members,

We have a long history of dutifully serving those in need in the local and global communities and we will continue to do so. We are committed to the calling of a strong, viable and relevant ministry of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, we are in the media again and people are wondering what I am going to say. All I have to say is what we stated earlier. All parties involved decided to resolve the civil cases out of court. The decision was made to bring closure to this matter and allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry.

I will continue to honor and abide by my commitment of confidentiality and restraint as it relates to the resolution of the civil litigation and will not be diverted from the important work of the ministry.
