Update To My: “Daily “Eddie Long” Report”

The ReadyWriter

Although Bishop Eddie Long deny all of the pending allegations against him, New Birth missionary Baptist Church, will not confirm nor deny if Bishop Eddie Long was having inappropriate relationships with his accusers.

According to the AJC: Responding on Monday to one of four lawsuits alleging that Bishop Eddie Long coerced young men into sexual relations, New Birth Missionary Baptist Church acknowledged that the accusers accompanied the pastor on trips but said it could not confirm or deny whether anything inappropriate took place.

The Lithonia mega church, in its response filed in DeKalb County State Court Monday, acknowledges that the men accompanied Long on trips, in some cases overseas, but said it couldn’t explain the nature of relationships that may have existed between Long and the men.

The church said Anthony Flagg, one of the accusers, traveled with Long on trips to Tuskegee, Ala., New York and Las Vegas, but couldn’t provide further details. It said it could not “admit or deny” allegations that the two were intimate.

The response said “the church understands that Bishop Long often shared hotel rooms with members of the congregation while traveling,” but it couldn’t say whether Flagg shared a room with Long. 
 
The four men allege that Long used his influence, lavish trips, gifts and jobs to coerce them into relationships.
 
Long has called the plaintiffs’ allegations false. His responses to the lawsuits were filed last week.

“I Sold This Apple iPad Today For $200”

The ReadyWriter

Yes I did….when the retail value including all of its accessories were originally $1,053.00

I received the iPad 5 months ago as a (10 year in business) anniversary gift and hated it to the core! So parting with it was not in such sorrow.

The buyer of the iPad is thrilled to death, that I sold it so cheap; the gifter on the other hand, won’t share in the same sentiment I’m sure.

Humility is better than haughtiness, the rule to live by when dealing with me.

“Classic Case Of A Narcissist”

The ReadyWriter

A narcissist is a man (or woman) who has an exaggerated sense of self-importance. Narcissist think it’s all about them.

Narcissists are usually well-dressed, handsome, beautiful, charming, funny, and extremely outgoing.

The problem begins when you fall in love with one.

To your friends and family, he’s handsome, charming, funny and outgoing. But to you he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Narcissists seek you out if you have money, power and/or respect.

They also seek you out if you are nice, compassionate, sweet and generous, because these are qualities that they will never possess.

Narcissists eventually see these qualities in you as a weakness. Underneath his or her charming exterior most narcissists are envious, needy, insecure, depressed, self-centered and extremely selfish.

No matter what you do, they will never see you as their equal.

The more you try to please narcissists, the more they will abuse you mentally, and sometimes physically.

The reason I used a pic of Jay Z and Beyonce for this post is because they are both narcissists who feed off each other.

Jay Z needs Beyonce more for her money, power and respect in order to achieve the power and respect that he now has.

Jay Z will never allow Beyonce to be greater than him. An example of this is, the fact that his book “Decoded” barely mentions Beyonce even though this book is supposed to be about his life and Beyonce is his wife.

The reason Beyonce is barely mentioned in the book is because Jay Z (a classic narcissist) knows she would steal all of his thunder, and his small ego just wouldn’t tolerate that.

“Do You Believe In ——> Friends With Benefits?

The ReadyWriter

I need my readers to tell me, is that a yes or a no?

In this modern-day and age of relationships, when it comes down to men and women being friends, a clear understanding of your boundary’s should be set.

Oftentimes, when a close friendship is established between a man and a woman signals can get crossed and feelings do ensue, especially as the friendship grows and you both reach a certain level of comfort.

At that point, what do you do? In rare cases, these situations turn into beautiful fulfilling relationships but is romance or sexual fulfillment worth the risk of losing a friend?

I need my CEO-Blog readers to weigh in on this subject…tell me your thoughts.

“What’s Your Motive For Marriage?”

The ReadyWriter

I was in a conversation the other evening with this friend of mine, when he started talking about the reasons people marry.

Call me a fool because I’m morally conscious but, I believe love is the only reason two people should get married and the fact that, they want to spend the rest of their lives together.

My friend declared, my reasons may be justified however, in this day and age a little unrealistic. He then gave me “6 reasons” why couples marry and love was not one of them.

1. Money, and when you have an indispensable amount, he said, life is so much easier. Yes money can provide all the material possessions your heart desires but you can’t take any of it with you when you leave this earth.

2. Power, and with power comes prestige, and when you marry into it, you become powerful by default.

3. Family ties, when your families already know the person you’re going to marry.

4. Children, if you wish to have them or become pregnant during your courtship.

5. Living habits, you both share the same thing and you both live the same way (i.e., if he’s messy and you’re messy – you’ll both live happily ever after in a pigs pen).

6. Lifestyle, drinker’s, druger’s, swinger’s, porn stars, Bible thumpers and partiers, those who share similar interest have ways of finding each other.

While my friend’s lists and reasons may be true, none of the above would work for me.

For what reason (s) would you marry?? I want to hear from you…

Feel free to add your own lists as well.
