lung cancer blog: Embattled Bishop Eddie L. Long Speaks for First Time Makes Light of the Media Attention, Doesn't Repudiate Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

first PregnancyEddie L. Long is at the podium rattling content and existence sarcastic, with that undignified hunting scolding on his head. There is a cult-like region hit at Newbirth Missionary Baptist Church this morning. He said this is an extremely arduous instance for his kinsfolk and the grouping in his church. He's joking most the full thing. He says it's a instance when you wager the garment modify and wager who's with you and who's not with you. He said he wants to help everybody and wants to impart every the pastors who left their churches to become to his church -- sons and daughters. He said he wants to speech to gathering of how to handle arduous and agonized situations. He started with Psalm 34:19 "many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the nobleman delivers him from every of them." He's stumbling over his words. Still no admission or denial of accusations. He's meet dancing around the issue. Painful situations. Another scripture. Isaiah. He says chronicle is filled with agonized situations which makes the instance of experience and healthiness not as magnificent as we would like. Life module be unfair. He said we are every person to grappling distasteful and agonized situations. Said Bishop Long module hit whatever intense situations. The meet grappling agonized situations with a determination. Comparing himself to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, terminally ill people, blankety, blankety! The remedy for agonized status is described by king -- Psalm 23. He said king gives an insight on how to intend finished agonized times. Must meet convergent on the spiritual things that brought us thusly far. Must be sworn to prayer. He's conversation most early voting. Cannot allow these allegations for outreach. Must continue to minister to those who are lost. Must pore on the power of worship. Encouragement. Must be there to encourage digit another. Resolve. Must not forget our capableness is not in Negro but in God. He said he has never portrayed himself as a amend Negro but is not the Negro existence portrayed on television. He said "that is not me." The church breaks discover in applause. He said he module not essay housing in the media. He said it module be proven in the suite of justice. He said that's the only locate he'll intend justice. He said he feels same king against Goliath. He said he has five rocks and hasn't tangled digit yet. Sorry, but isn't that a threat? He hasn't said I am not guilty. Wait, is there added accuser inactivity to become forward? Maybe that's ground he made that reference. He danced around the issue. Eddie L. Long is a officer manipulator. Take a countenance at every the cases of sexed misconduct made against famous grouping -- Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Jimmy Swaggart, Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker, peer Paulk, Apostle Crouch (co-founder of TBN) and others -- the actuality prevailed and they were blameable of the allegations. UPDATE#1 (09/26/10): Long meet held a press word that amounted to nothing. What he said there, he would hit said terminal week when the story first broke. During the service he kept on saying he isn't a amend man. That tells me that there is whatever actuality to what the young men are alleging and he doesn't think what he did chromatic to the take of sexed coercion. Eddie L. Long didn't verify his gathering emphatically that the allegations are untrue. He prefaced it by saying he's not a amend Negro and he's under fire. From a open relations standpoint he did null to quell the firestorm against him.
