After years of homophobic sermons and grandstanding, it has now been reported that Bishop Eddie "Long Stroke" and his lawyers are close to reaching a settlement with the young men that accused him of sexual coercion.
Bishop Eddie Long might be close to settling with the four young men who brought the sexual misconduct lawsuits against him last September, which set off a scandal that rocked the gospel world.
While the Atlanta mega-church pastor has remained silent about the lawsuit, the judge presiding in the case, DeKalb County State Court Judge Johnny Panos, told a local Atlanta TV station Friday that both sides had been having marathon meetings all week and are coming close to an agreement.
I guess when the collection plate is passed in that mega church, the church members are subsidizing Sir Long Stroke's extravagant life style. With high unemployment, inflation and over four dollar gas, I can't image his parishioners are happy about this...
On the other hand, P T Barnum once famously quipped:
A Sucker Is Born Every Minute
Honest folks, no pun intended (lol)...
Thanks for the update........
ReplyDeleteI have a negative opinion of most mega churches. There are so many positive things that they should be doing.
Have a great day
Those mega churches are just 21st century cults. He's probably guilty or else he would have fought it to the end. He'll invoke the word of God and half of his parishioners will forgive him while the other half will conclude that the young men were just in it for the money. What he'll pay the young men won't equal to one week's collection and he'll go one living his extravagant life while learning the "lesson" of paying the guys off first or going after guys who don't belong to his church. Just another example of a rich person doing wrong and buying their way out of a jam
