The author recently appeared on a local Atlanta news station, where he revealed what was told to him over 3 years ago. He says that he’s going to fight for Bishop Eddie Long’s resignation and cannot sit idle while Long continues to lead people astray.
“He is leading God’s people to the pits of hell. He needs to confess, repent and let God deal with him.”

“They were noticing that Bishop Long was taking young boys into the church involved youth ministry and taking them on vacation and hanging out with them and practicing homosexual acts with these young boys,” Armstrong says of the youth pastors.
Armstrong’s book’s second chapter “Homosexual Pastor,” accuses Long of having sexual relationships, but Armstrong said he didn’t include the part about the victims being teenagers because he couldn’t confirm it. He said the pastors were afraid to come forward publicly.
“They were scared for the retaliation and the aftermath they would receive from the church and the bishop,” Armstrong said.
Armstrong said the recent lawsuits and Long?s public statements confirm the accusations. He said if they weren?t true, Long would?ve explicitly denied them.
“All you can say is that I’m not perfect? I think, bishop, we know you’re not perfect. No one’s perfect,” Armstrong said.
Long’s spokesman, Art Franklin, said the bishop has nothing to say to Armstrong. “We are not responding to those inflammatory comments,” says Franklin. (source)
