Eddie Long’s New Birth Christian Academy Closes

The ReadyWriter

Bishop Eddie Long’s New Birth Christian Academy is closing its doors after 18 years in operation. I guess this all apart of “God’s operation and the Eddie Long empire shut down”.

The private school’s 200 students learned about the school closing in a letter sent home to their parents and signed by Carlton Donald, the board’s vice-chair.

The school’s tuition ranged from $5,253 for New Birth members to $6,198 for non-members, according to the Atlanta Journal.

The school’s closing is just another step toward the dismantling of Eddie Long’s church empire in Atlanta. The church has laid off staff after losing hundreds of members since Long settled a sexual coercion case filed against him by four former New Birth members who were heterosexual and gay.

Additionally, Bernice King, daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, stepped down as a church elder in May. And 10 former parishioners filed a $1 million lawsuit against Long and the church alleging they lost their life savings in an investment scam.

Long, who temporally stepped down as the church’s senior pastor this month, reportedly used the school as a hunting ground for young males to satisfy his sexual appetite. In court documents, Long was accused of coercing the young men with Bible passages and plying at least two of the boys with cash, trips, gifts and cars to loosen their sexual inhibitions.

Earlier this month, the embattled preacher’s long-suffering wife, Vanessa, announced she was filing for divorce.

Former Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky Arrested Again!

The ReadyWriter

Jerry Sandusky was arrested and jailed Wednesday on new child sex abuse charges brought on by two new accusers, including one who said Sandusky molested him numerous times in his basement bedroom. This is an extremely SICK man!

The ninth accuser, currently 18, was 11 or 12 when he first met Sandusky in 2004. Sandusky took him to Penn State football games and gave him gifts and money, and later sexually assaulted him during overnight stays in a basement bedroom in Sandusky’s home, the grand jury said.

Sandusky forced the boy to perform oral sex and attempted on at least 16 occasions to anally penetrate him, sometimes successfully.

The victim also testified that on at least one occasion he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky’s wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him.

Damn a trial people, I say authorities should just kill this sick ass pedophile now!!!! They should arrest his wife as well because she knew he was sick and stood idly by and remained married to him, knowing he was raping little boys.

I tried to avoid this story because the details are so vile, repulsive and disgusting. This man has tarnished and ruined the lives of 10 young boys. How many more will come forward?

In the meantime, Sandusky’s (The Second Mile charity for at-risk children) that he founded in 1977 for underprivileged children to cover up his reasoning for meeting and raping his victims, said in a statement that it has lost significant financial support and that some employees will be laid off over the next several months. Who cares? The organization should close down period, the community should in fact, burn that shit to the ground!!!

Sandusky is being held on a $1 million dollar bond and if he post bail, he will have to submit to electronic monitoring and house arrest, have no contact with victims and/or witnesses and have no unsupervised contact with minors.

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.

Herman Cain Drops Out Of Presidential Race!

The ReadyWriter

Women are powerful and are kryptonite to a weak man…Plagued by allegations of sexual harassment and marriage infidelity, businessman Herman Cain announced Saturday that he is officially suspending his campaign for president of the United States.

“As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul-searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign,” Cain said at what was supposed to be new campaign headquarters in his hometown of Atlanta. “I am disappointed that it came to this point that we had to make this decision.”

Standing with his wife Gloria by his side, Cain vowed that he would make an endorsement before the primaries were over and said that he “will not be silenced.”

The final death warrant came for Cain when Ginger White, a longtime friend of Cain’s, came forward to say that she had sustained a sexual relationship with him for several years. Ugh!!!! She even provided cell phone records to prove that they had, in fact, known each other over the years.

Unlike the prior allegations, the response from Cain’s lawyer did not issue a denial, but rather a defense that said the media should not inquire about his “private sexual life.”

Cain concluded his announcement that his run was over by reciting a poem: “Life can be a challenge, life can seem impossible, but it’s never easy when there’s so much on the line.”

“Eddie Long Paid His Accusers To Keep Silent, But They’re Talking”

The ReadyWriter

The good Bishop Eddie Long thought he paid his accusers 1.5 million in settlement money for their silence but they have been doing interviews and revealing details of the case in the media.

Attorneys representing Eddie Long’s church have informed three of the five young men who accused the Bishop of sexual coercion that they intend to recover nearly $1 million from their financial settlement according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The letter, last week by the Atlanta law firm Drew Eckl & Farnham, alleges that Jamal Parris, Spencer LeGrande and Centino Kemp violated terms of a confidentiality agreement outlined in the settlement with Long and New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. The firm is seeking at least $900,000 already paid to the three accusers, according to people involved in the settlement but not authorized to speak publicly.

The letter could simply be a threat, said Atlanta litigator Hayden Pace.

“No one’s going to turn over the money just simply because you’ve asked for it,” Pace said. “You’re going to have to earn it back by establishing your right to it in the courts.”

The five (5) accusers are now considering book deals and movie rights.

I’m sure Eddie Long is pissing in his cleric clothes, knowing that his truth will indeed be revealed. The accusers wanted an admission of guilt from Long and never received it, so they will attempt to do whatever necessary to get satisfaction from this horrible experience.
