Eddie Long needs to be lng-gone! There is just NO way taht this many men can make this many clear, precise accusations and ALL be wrong! Eddie is a perv of some sort and he should be locked up for psychological evalulation, once the pros like Dr. O confirm how sick this man is, he should then be treated for his mental illness. After that, all of his victims should be allowed to confront him face to face in a controlled setting so they can heal and he can fully understand how damaging his choices have been. After all that…castrate him!

The Bible talks about avoiding & rejecting the “appearance” of evil or ungodly settings. Right now, my heart is for his other victims…his wife & children.

Yes, he should make a statement…”I am a sick and perverted man who needs the God I have been preaching about but never really knew.”

I am sorry, but I feel as if he guilty! I could not imagine someone doing that to my children! The thought is just disgusting! He is suppose to be someone you could lean on, go to for advice, seeking God on a spiritual level and he uses that to his advantage to manipulate young children! How long did he think his little secret was going to remain buried?? Not long!!!! He has been exposed for the monster he is!!!!

The problem that I have with all of this is how do you let a bishop, preacher, pastor………..get to you like this.

I have to admit, I do not attend church regularly, as a matter of fact, can not remember when I have attended church. I just wanted to put that out there. I was raised in the Baptist church and I believe in God.

I have a problem when the congregation puts the pastor on a pedestal. He is not God. He is a man. I would never let my children address the preacher as “daddy”. I would also attend those meetings with my son, even if I had to bake cookies to be there.

I do not feel sorry for the brainwashed 25,000 members that Eddie Long bamboozled. This cries Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker……even Jim Jones on a lower level.

The reason I have problems with the church, is that they are all trying to be mega churches. With 25,000 members do you realize the resources and potential in a church like that. I am not talking cathedral windows, and sophisticated sound systems.

I am talking about teaching the youth how to read. Responsible men going into the “bad” neighborhoods and showing young men that there is more to life than the streets. Setting up free daycare for young mothers that are trying to get work/go to school. Teaching young women/men how to carry themselves – Etiquette. The list goes on and on. The black church was our rock during the civil rights movement, and now look what has happened. With 25,000 members, people down on their luck in that area should have a place to fall.

In a church like that, how many lawyers, doctors, politicians, teachers, nurses, administrators, bankers, accountants, etc. are in that congregation. In a church like that, these individuals are the ones that can help. People that are not professional can put in hours too. They can teach youngster how to manage households, buy groceries, hem a pair of pants even.

I believe that Eddie Long will be guilty in the end of all of this. By the time the courts and the media gets finished with him, his reputation will be tainted one way or another. I believe that he should step down and handle his business and not bring the church down with him.

I hate to say this, Dr O, and I probably will get yelled at. The 25,000 member congregation are STUPID. They should get rid of Eddie now and not allow their church to die in the ashes from all of this.

Eddie Long was just the Pastor, New Birth is the Church.
