All should honor those in authority #imjustsaying Why are those boys accepting a settlement from him? If they want justice, they should push for a trial and TRUE justice. Getting a bigger check for something you were already getting paid to do means what…nothing? These young men are getting a bigger check (settlement) for an act of sex that they did on their free will. All guilty parties need to accept responsibilities…from the Bishop to the boys involved.

the followers will follow him straight to hell. aint no room for dummies in heaven.

*Dead* at the pic of Kanye rolling his eyes.

Bishop knows what he did. He has to answer to God for the skeletons in his closet. People who worship their Pastor or Preacher or Priest must know that no man is perfect. Stop putting these men on a pedestal.

PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO BLAME EDDIE LONG BUT THESE GUYS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING SO IF IN FACT ALL OF THIS DID TAKE PLACE THEN BOTH PARTIES ARE GUILTY. HE DID NOT HOLD A GUN TO NONE OF THEIR HEADS. AT 16 YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG BUT ALL THEY SAW WAS MONEY AND THE MATERIAL THINGS. THEY DIDN’T COMPLAIN NOT ONE TIME WHEN HE WAS GIVING THEM ALL OF THOSE GIFTS BUT AS SOON AS THE GIFTS AND THE MONEY STOPPED THEN THEY WANNA LET IT COME OUT. PLEASE!!! I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THEM!!!!!

People who follow Eddie Long are damn fools and they deserve whatever misery comes to them. He is a pedophile, a liar, a wife beater, and apparently a co-conspirator to embezzlement and mortgage fraud. I can’t believe that in 2011 we still have sheep who mascarade as humans. When the real Jesus come, what are all you simple minded kneegrows gonna do? Probably stone him once he starts exposing all your lovely little icons and false prophets. SMH.

To the boys who were only left with civil suits to seek justice…I HOPE YOU GOT PAID BIG! Send that moster to the unemployment line along with the rest of his flock.

@ tyanna73…Really? Eddie Long is suppose to be a leader and man of honor. Even if these kids accepted gifts and such..They were still victims, much younger than him, and ofcourse impressionable…16 year old Boys are still BOYS…His grown (suppose to be sensible) ass has NO business messing with them. I don’t understand how anyone could question that?

The fact remains that Eddie Long is indeed a gay pedophile and that these boys, who did this at free will, probably enjoyed it. There’s no way in hell I’d except any amount of money if I really wanted justice to be served. Everybody’s guilty in my opinion.

He who is without sin…

Only hipocrites speak on other’s short-comings, without considering his/her own. I even find myself doing this and am forced to check myself; and I have to remember that we all have proclivities…EVERY ONE OF US. Again: he who is without sin…cast the first stone.

@ TD- DAYUM ITS APPARENT THAT EDDIE LONG FLUCKED YOU TO PLAYER…..SMDH! THATS TYHE ONLY WAY TO JUSTIFY THIS SICK AZZ MAN. YOU MUST GO TO CHURCH TO WORSHIP THIS FALSE PROPHET…..WHETHER ALL 12 OF THE BOYS LIED OR NOT. YOUR NASTY PASTOR NEVER ONCE DENIED THE ALLEGATIONS! WHICH MEANS HE DID IT YOU IGNORANT AZZ FOOL….WHATS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE TODAY? IS THE WORLD THAT SICK, THAT PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT A CHILD MOLESTING PASTOR??? NO ONE ON HERE EVER SAID THEY LIVE WITHOUT SIN TD, THE FACT IS THAT WE ARE NOT TRYING TO SAVE SOULS EITHER BC WE KNOW WE HAVE TO GET OUR LIFE RIGHT FIRST! SO FOR EDDIE LONG OT SIT IN FRONT ALL THOSE PEOPLE AND CLAIM TO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD IS JUST LUDACRIS!!!

His wife better go and get tested, he probably has the package, she will never leave him, she’s in it for the money, how sad, she probably has low self esteem also.

I, at times, expect men to be a tad ignorant toward certain, so-called "manly" aspects of life (i.e homosexual topics); but for women to express such ignorance is pathetic, since you are known to be the smarter of the two sexes (or is that just a myth). Perhaps that is not the case any longer; with the stupid decisions many of you find yourselves getting involved in today. Some of your writing styles and use of profane language to express yourselves reflect your lack of education, anyway. In the future, when you address me, please do so in an intelligent, or even semi-intelligent fashion, so I don’t have to use ebonics to decipher what you are trying to convey. When you excoriate me, make it so that I can, at the least, comprehend your ignorane.

@ TD- NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK okay! You are trying to make us believe that you are a married, professional, upscale individual…..right? I dont believe your azz one minute. Since you are so classy, tell me how you find the time to get on a website called "straightfromthea"?? lol-you are a joke, and im sure your wife thinks so also. Were you even able to distinguish what "a" represents?? You did say you rather not speak in ebonics right? But you seem to log in consistantly to a website that has partial definition of the "ebonic" term that represents Atlanta,GA. Look at the end of the day, any one with common sense and common ground knows that this penis slinging pastor Eddie Long should not act like a saint, nor prophet when he is in sexual scandals at his church.Eddie Long is suppose to represent how God would live, and encourage his members to do the same. Would you still be a Christian if God chose to have sexual acts with the prophets from the bible? I think not, well get your snoody,hypocrite,potential gay married man,stank azz back to your regular scheduled program. EDDIE LONG IS STILL DEAD NASTY AND HAVE NOT YET TO DATE DENIED VIOLATING ALL THOSE BOYS!!!!!!
