Really New Birth? Is this they way y’all do it now? [Sidebar: IRS on line 2….]

Last Sunday, as Bishop Eddie Long preached the word rocking his good nappy fro wig, a woman casually walked up to him in the middle of his sermon and handed him a huge wad of cash.

Long hugs the woman and she strolls back to her seat (bad weave and all)…

Stunt? I think so… 😯

New Birth members are leaving in droves, Long’s wife is rumored to have flown the coup, money is dwindling and Long’s “confidential” settlement to those 4 young men who accused him of coercing them into various sex acts is said to be nearly $25 milli…

What began as a $2 million agreement to settle the case for each of the four men quickly rose to $5.5 million for the respective plaintiffs, only because Long refused to publicly admit guilt.

The men are to divide $2.2 million equally and then receive $400,000 in payments until the money is paid out over the next 20 years, the source said. The final figure comes to $22 million for the four men and $2.8 million for the plaintiffs’ attorneys. (source)

Money is tight as hell right now in the Long camp… so why not pull a stunt queen act to get the cash flow going?

I don’t know much about the story behind this apparent STUNT, but according to That B*tch, the story goes…

Right at the moment when Bishop Long speaks about visualizing where the congregation is headed, a woman walks up hands him a thick wad of cash, a hug and walks back to her seat.

Then Eddie Long shouts, “That’s just the first seed! Today it’s her…. tomorrow it might be you!”

Then he kind of mumbles under his breath, “I couldn’t pay for that…”

Hhmph! You can and you did… 😯

What’s your verdict?

Was this a random act of kindness or did the good Bishop think that a lil promo was in order after all the negativity surrounding his extra-curricular activities?
