NEWS: THIRD MAN STEPS FORWARD IN BISHOP EDDIE LONG CASE [UPDATE]

Another man by the name of Jamal Parris stepped forward yesterday in regards to the Bishop Eddie Long scandal. According to WSBTV.com:

In the latest lawsuit, the plaintiff, Jamal Parris, detailed how Long allegedly gave him his personal cell phone number two weeks after the two first met. Parris also alleged that Long encouraged him to call him “daddy.” According to the suit, Parris’ father had not been a positive figure in his life.

Parris said he joined New Birth in 2001. He said he later became Long’s personal assistant, and that Long would ask him to remain in his private office after church, where Long engaged in sexual misconduct with Parris, according to the suit. Parris said he eventually left the church and later found out from other young male church members that they too had sexual contact with the bishop, according to the suit. [ SOURCE ]

Not only was a third person added to the suit against Long, but some mobile pictures of the bishop have also been released. As a result, Bishop Long has cancelled his upcoming radio and television appearances.

    Well Obviously, We Have A Rapist In Church …LMAO! (Antoine Dodson voice)

  3. ?????????

    OPEN YOUR EYES AND STOP BEING SO BLIND. OF COURSE THEY DIDN’T COME FORWARD RIGHT AWAY. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A RICH, POWERFUL MAN. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WORSHIP THIS MAN LIKE HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY? PEOPLE BRAG ABOUT ATTENDING THIS CHURCH AND WEAR IT LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR. WHEN YOU ARE YOUNG AND STILL TRYING TO FIND YOURSELF THEN YOU HAVE THIS RICH POWERFUL MAN IN YOUR LIFE GIVING YOU LOVE AND AFFECTION LIKE A FATHER FIGURE THEN BUYING YOU GIFTS AND TAKING YOU ON TRIPS HE IS SLOWLY SEDUCING YOU INTO THE NEXT PHASE. YOU FEEL ALMOST OBLIGATED TO DO WHATEVER HE SAYS. NOT TO MENTION AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT HE SAYS. EVEN OPRAH TALKS ABOUT THE SEDUCTION OF THESE PREDATORS. THESE YOUNG MEN MAY HAVE EVEN BEEN UNSURE OF THEIR OWN SEXUAL IDENTITY. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY PARTICIPATED WILLINGLY IT IS STILL WRONG BECAUSE OF BISHOP LONG’S POSITION OF POWER AND THE USING OF CHURCH FUNDS. ALSO IF ONE PERSON COMES FORWARD AND BREAKS THE SILENCE IT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR OTHERS TO COME FORWARD AFTER THAT. SO FAR THERE ARE 3 ACCUSERS. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING MORE WILL COME FORWARD. THE NEXT TIME YOU WONDER WHY DID THEY WAIT TO COME FORWARD JUST TAKE A LOOK AT COMMENTS LIKE THE ONES HERE. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY BLAMING THE VICTIMS, QUESTIONING THEIR REASON FOR DOING IT, BRINGING UP OTHER IRRELEVANT THINGS ( ONE OF THE GUYS TRIED TO BREAK INTO THE CHURCH OFFICE)…WHAT DOES THAT MATTER? MAYBE HE WAS TRYING TO FIND EVIDENCE TO PROVE HIS ALLEGATIONS. BISHOP LONG IS JUST A MAN. PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET THAT. NO MATTER HOW OLD THE GUYS WERE…WHAT BISHOP LONG DID WAS WRONG. PLEASE STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR IT. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THIS AND GET AWAY WITH IT. IF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ARE NOT SAFE IN CHURCH THEY ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE.

    Everyone in Atl knows he’s been doin this. Putting dudes up in fancy condos around atl. Buying them cars and what not. Payin there tuition (morehouse/clark)! If my pastor sent pics of himself in biker shorts to me I think I would flip! Dude is bogus anyway for denouncing homosexuality while being a dl. He’s an asshole (pun intended). I hope that it all comes out. Promise this will spin out of control like Tiger Woods…boys are going to keep coming forth.

    I believe the allegations are true however I believe these boys are homosexual who enjoyed having this pastor as their sugar daddy. Anyone in their right mind would not trust this man. LMAO @ his wife who has the nerve to be labeled as such and parade around with him as though he were straight.

  6. idomind

    I’m waiting to see when one of Tyler Perry’s lovers comes out or if one of his actors with chiseled bodies will come out and say that he molested them. lol

    @WEEKEND LOVE

    YOU ARE TOO CRAZY! LMAO

    Yup, now there is a fouth person had came out today- Its on BET.COM, the fouth person said he had a sexual relationship with the pastor from 2005-2009. I was right, if this pastor was smart, he should have said something since yesterday or today, not until Sunday, well as I said before in my post, if I was accused of doing this, I would put my face out there and defuse this.

    Not if your ass looked like a gay mermaid in some nasty pictures that you sent to children.

    All y’all so busy praying? Wonder if you feel ok praying for a spandexed pedophile and ignoring the needs of the victims?

  10. TheDestructionOfBlackCivilization

    I wish black people would wake up and let this eurocentric concept of God go.These men are in Boule ass secret societies and they prey on a gullible and vulnerable community. Most of these pulpit pimps most valuable customers are black women. Some black women are handing their children over to these brain dead self hating overseeing house niggas.PLEASE WAKE UP!!! Down goes a woman,down goes a whole nation.These monsters are preying on our children. This system has down a job on our people. SMH

  14. Luvbug

    PEOPLE PLZZZZZZZZZZZ………..THIS MAN GAYER THAN 2 TIE DYE SHIRTS WRAPPED TOGETHER. FOR SOME OF YOU IGNORANT BLACKS THAT THINK THIS ONLY HAPPENS IN THE WHITE RACE, YA BETTA WAKE UP!!!! IT IS JUST AS MUCH BAD IN THE BLACK RACE THAN IT IS IN THE WHITE RACE. CHILD MOLESTATION, CHILD ABUSE, SERIAL KILLERS, PARENTS KILLING THEIR KIDS, LIST GOES ON AND ON. SOME BLACK PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT CERTAIN THINGS ONLY HAPPENS IN OTHER RACES. THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF FALSE LEADERS AND PROPHETS AND THIS MAN IS ONE. YOU BETTA BET HELL GONNA HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE FOR HIM. THIS MAN KNOWS THE BIBLE AND HE KNOWS THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS. I GUESS HE THINK IT IS OK AS LONG AS HE KEEP ASKING GOD FOR FORGIVENESS. HE BETTA BELIEVE HE GONNA ACCOUNT FOR ALL OF HIS MISDEEDS TO GOD.
