[READ: RECAP: Preachers of LA Episode #4 (WATCH VIDEO)]
This week Bishop Jones and his girlfriend, Loretta Jones, are the main topic of conversation amongst the preachers and everyone on the show seems eager to see them get married… everyone except Jones himself.
While the two have been ‘friends’ for 16 years, Jones hasn’t made any moves toward the altar and everyone around him is giving him the side-eye.
Jones blames his travel schedule on his decision not to tie the knot, plus he has a lot of unresolved personal issues (i.e. his daughter by x-factor’s Stacey Francis)

VIDEO: Preachers of LA (Episode #5)
The preachers all gather at Bishop Jones’ house for the 4th of July and Loretta prepares a huge spread for the crew.
Bishop Ron Gibson feels that he can convince Jones to have a ‘monopoly on monogamy’ and invites Bishop Noel Jones to gamble on his heart.
In a ‘friendly’ game of pool, Gibson poses a hefty wager: If he wins, Jones has to marry Loretta. 
Bishop Ron Gibson: “That woman is physically beautiful, mentally intelligent, loves him to the core. My common sense along with the inspiration of the holy spirit told me that you wont find a woman better than that one.”
Bishop Noel Jones: “Sometimes it’s not as easy as it seems. I’m running around preaching everywhere. Do I want the chance of ruining a marvelous friendship with marriage?! At the end of the day the decision has to be mine.
What did you think of Episode #5 of Preachers of LA?
Why do you think Bishop Noel Jones’ bachelor status is such an issue with the other Pastors?
“BISHOP” Noel Jones is going to hell in a hand basket…commiting fornication but steady preaching to others about God smh!!! Loretta is a brazing whore and she´s too old to stll be a man´s “FRIEND”!!!! #the things people do in the name of God all for money
PIMPS IN THE PULPIT………….
SORRY BUT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER WOMAN IN THE SAME POSITION SHE’S THE FOOL!!! BISHOP JONES IS KNOWN TO PUBLICLY DATE DIFFERENT WOMEN IN L.A.. DIDN’T HE USE TO DATE LISA RAYE AND THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO DO A REALITY SHOW TOGETHER? AND OF COURSE THERE’S THE CHILD BY THE X-FACTOR CHICK STACY. AND IF SHE THOUGHT HE HAD WOMEN AFTER HIM BEFORE SHE BETTER KNOW THE SHOW WILL MAKE IT 1000X WORSE. 16 YRS MAKES HER THE PROBLEM NOT HIM. OAN: I WONDER I HIS SISTER GRACE JONES WILL MAKE AN APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW……..JENNY JONES!!!
LORD please hurry up and cancel this show or at least change the name to PIMPS IN THE PULPIT! These pimps really need to stop playing with God!
They need to mind their business it is painfully obvious that he don´t feel her like she feels him. Loretta is beautiful and needs to move on. Bishop Jones is hilarious. Dominique shole looks swole hmmm and I loathe her husband´s clothes. I love the new couple and the fact that McClendon was absent.
i knew she was sitting around waiting on him to pick her…..16 or 17 how many year is it, just because they friends doesnt mean she is not the wife god sent for him……and if he met someone else and married her,she would go crazy….shes no better than the other women in the church coming at him because they know he single.
This show just proves that there is no hope for humanity & that organized religion is a shameless scam, smh.
There is HOPE FOR HUMANITY and His Name is JESUS CHRIST. Don’t judge all Christians by this show! He died and rose again to free mankind from the bondage of sin. He is able Ann’s willing to cleanse and make you free today if you would Accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
Dominique had a baby bump in last nights episode. especially when they were walking the streets of new Orleans and she had on that dress. plus she was hiding her stomach with her big purse. love the show tho!
I peeped that too…the shoestring wedding ceremony, the New Orleans stroll, the purse block move & with the quick sit-down…SECOND BABY ALERT!
Yep we peeped that out last week you may not of been shacking but they was shole *shut my mouth*….
LOL!!!!!!
What I don´t get is her flip-flopping about what she wants! She told the ladies at the tea that she´s not there for Noel to choose for a wife, but then she´s telling him it´s time to marry. These ´preachers´ are really rubbing me the wrong way.
I can’t get past where ATlien reports he has a daughter with Stacy Francis! What?!! I guess they are handing out the title of Bishop and Preacher. I’m not sure how to process this!!!
Ain’t no way I’m waiting for some guy to get his act together for as long as Loretta has, smh.
she said that cause she was under attack and didn´t want to be “that” woman. she knows it sounded as horrible as it is. i mean, 16 years!!! that is just crazy. that man don´t want her.
quiet as its kept wasnt he dating Lisa Raye ?
Can Tameka please style Deitrick as well cause Lawd those flowers, floods and sloppiness.
I think she used the "Just friends is cool with me"card so she can get in the door and he took it as that. In the meantime, he slept with someone else and they produced a child.
Loretta comes across as the type of woman you have to tell her filter free,point blank>>back off! you cant wear him down like heels chile.
Is it a coincidence that Noel and Loretta have the same last name?
I can’t with this BULLSHITTTTTT! they got baby mamas& all and suppose to be sanctified. Fuck them, their church and all their ushers.
Mercy me. This show is a clear cut example of ratchiness….please bring the hachet and cut this out of TV land.Enough already with this group of unsanctified hustlers. Who are their templates for holy living? Has to be Mr Green. Mr Money Green!!!
This is not how you get non believers to seek God. They are still being messy after they devoted their lives to Christ.
We forgive we forgive and we forgive….we judge we judge and judge…..and then we hope for a better tomorrow. Period.
If you’re allowing someone else’s behavior shake your faith then you never had any and you’re as bad as they are.
Amen
Who called them? Who do they represent with this type of behavior?SMH
I watch this show with the same understanding as any other "reality" show…it’s entertainment. I don’t get all excited that these men are preachers. They are just men. People should know the word for their own understanding and not put their belief in any man.
These men have their own agendas for being on the show. Such as Deitrick clearing his name for not only cheating on his wife, but having a child out of wedlock.
OAN: Noel Jones definitely has a type. Light, bright…..
I have notice back on a few shows back that dominiquelooked pregnant. Yes Yes Tameka Foster needs to be hired to style all these preachers. She is a talented stylist.
Ha! “Bishop” Noel is playing his position as a playa! LOL Hes got Loretta “playing” like a wife. LOL too old! LOL
Calm down everyone. Bishop Jones’s and Loretta’s relationship was staged for the show and to promote the restaurant that they own together. Nothing more. It’s FAKE!
neither of these men could preach to me, and not one of them are leading anybody to God but are leading them away. its a shame how they deliberately disobey the word of God, so glad i know the word and can spot a false preacher from a mile away
I think that Jones is using ole’ girl for a beard. And Dominique either has a sloppy gut for a young woman or is pregNIT again.
My name is Shirley Morgan. I recently retired from Los Angeles County. I have had first hand experience with separation of church and state. What happened is that during the week I would help poverty stricken families in the project and on the week-ends I would walk the streets with my C.O.G.i.C church. The job said it was a conflict of interest. Macurmita Wilson you says its a shameless scam. In the bible it also report that God will hold the leaders to a higher standard.I worked and frequent the same area as Ron. Like Ms. Sallie reported " Only what you do for christ will last". God does’nt need any of us to fight his battles. Have any of you visted skid row lately and observed all the homeless people on the streets. If the preachers of L.A want to help God’s people start there. I recently wrote a book and its called. " If you only knew bought the shoes bought the hat. It can be purchased at amazon.com. There are several preacher who just want to do the will of god.For example. Rodney and Donald friend. Ed Robinson. Oh its a lot of saint that I have tarried with. Tarried is when you pray and get result. This is a international pray. Lord in the name of jesus. God I’m asking that you look upon the just and unjust have mercy God. God look upon child welfare, the poor and homeless.Touch all these preachers and send them down to skid row and help families in Jesus name.
Well I don’t think Loretta is a fool. she is a classy lady. Her and noel have been friends for years. Can’t two people be best friends that are of the opposite sex? Noel wants to do his own thing, so what is wrong with him being single and a minister? Nothing. I really do see from the episodes that, Noel really does not want to let Loretta "GO". He never said to her in the show that she should find someone to make her happy. I really think he is stringing her along. He has a best friend that he does not want to lose to another man.
Lisa your right, Loretta is NOT a fool, but her behavior is FOOLISH. Bishop Jones is probably providing a very comfortable life for her behind the scenes (money, car, home etc.). Paying the rent in this world today is acquired by any means necessary and that means you sacrifice yourself respect, then so be it. many woman, sit on the sidelines for years behind a man, just waiting for him to pay attention to her, while watching him with other women, even marrying the another woman. Loretta is no different, he will marry, but it won’t be Loretta, probably a celebrity or a white woman.
I think the bishop knows something about Loretta Jones that no one else knows. Maybe he sees something in her that no one else can see. Personally I used to live with Loretta, she was my stepmother and back in the days she wasn’t this nice quiet person. She treated me & my siblings terrible, while treating her two children Crystal & Byron like royalty. She ruined me & my sibling short relationship with our father by making him choose between us or her, he chosed us but abused and abandon us as a result of her influence. They continued to date & I grew up in foster care and was shocked when this show aired, making her look like this Angel, because she is far from that. The bishop should continue speaking the word of GOD and find a real Christian wife, because he is having doubts for a reason.
