The Bishop Eddie Long sex scandal continues as a fourth lawsuit has been filed against him in Dekalb County Court.
In the new lawsuit there are allegations the Atlanta-area pastor coerced a 15-year-old boy into having sex with him during a trip to Africa!
The alleged victim, Spencer LaGrande now lives in North Carolina and is now 22 years old. He filed suit against Long and the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and, like the other three alleged victims, accused the powerhouse pastor of forcing him into a sexual relationship while treating him to trips around the world, travel in private planes and stays in luxury hotels.
LeGrande, claims he was 17 when he began a sexual relationship with Long while accompanying the bishop on a trip to Nairobi, Kenya.
LeGrande, of Charlotte, N.C., alleges in a civil suit filed Friday in DeKalb County that Long gave him an Ambien, a popular prescription sleep aid, followed by a “prolonged hug,” kissing and rubbing, according to the suit.
The suit claims the two shared a bed for the remainder of their trip.

In a statement released immediately after the 4th case was filed, Long again denied the allegations through a church spokesman:
“Bishop Long categorically denies the charges,” church spokesman Art Franklin said Friday.
“We believe that it is unfortunate the young men have chosen to take this course of action. The defense team will review the complaints and respond accordingly at the appropriate time and in the appropriate forum.”
LaGrande’s lawsuit alleges he met Long in March 2003 during the very first service at a branch Long’s
Georgia-based church opened in a suburb of Charlotte, N.C.
LeGrande said Long agreed to be a father figure for him because his own father was an absentee father, according to court documents, and that Long began asking LaGrande to call him “dad.”
Long has vehemently denied all the accusations and said in a statement this week that the charges in the lawsuits have “hurt me deeply.” He has said that he plans to defend himself against the “ugly charges” from the pulpit Sunday, although word on the street is that he will step down from his position as head of the church.
I guess we’ll find out Sunday…. stay tuned.
I’m sure there a lot more than 4.
I hear it’s about 30…
Well Atlien, I am sure more will be revealed,but in the mean time, I ran across a youtube clip of Bishop Eddie Long and Steve Harvey, that shines a brighter light on the story behind the story. The title is a little strange and misleading, but you make the call.

Body Language.
He’s GUILTY.
But of course, he still has his Zombie followers.
But they will find out the hard way.
They will be like the folks described here:
MANY ( MANY ) will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7: 22&23

People, people please. This dude is made up of flesh just like everyone else.
Y’all give him and some of the others too much. Think about your own dark secrets and how you would feel if they were brought OUT…

This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
10And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 3:1-13
Ready Eddie chose to be a Bishop
Atlien, man, I just wanted to stop back to tell you that you have a nice spot up in here. I don’t know how many readers you have, but hundreds of them have stopped by my spot to read the link I posted. Man, I am impressed. Keep doing your thang, cuz you must be doing something right. My daughter lives in the ATL, I’ll have to tell her to give you a look-see.

Dana T… All that would be fine & dandy had he not spoken out against homosexuals. How you gonna point fingers & demonize your own lifestyle?
Private jets & bentleys? When you’re a man of that stature, you give up privacy. When you make vows, they’re to live as Christ did. He started with the finger pointing
Listen People it’s as simple as this. Eddie Long as I call him (because he don’t deserve the title Bishop), is GUILTY as SIN. He had the power and the money to influence these at the time young boys and took advantage of it. I am a proud GAY black male and never has hid it. I figured for years he was a closet queen because of the way he carried himself with all the muscles and spandex. That not something a straight man is into. Eddie followers need to remember the minister back in the 70′s Jim Jones how he lead all these thousands of people away from their homes and poisened them. They thought he also was a good man of the cloth. People need to put their trust in GOD and stop making these earthly ministers Saints, Prophets, Bishops, and at some point their God. But Eddie golden temple is now starting to crumble before him and the ax will fall, it’s just sad that the young men had to endure such a tragic experience that will scare them for life. How sad this is.
