On Sunday, Bishop Eddie Long delivered a message to his congregation as promised and even joked a little with his church family. This was the first time that Bishop Eddie Long had spoken since the suits were filed against him alleging that he had sex with young male members of his church, as covered on www.HipHopRx.com.
According to Long, he is going to fight these accusations that have been placed against him and that he’s not the man that everyone is portraying him to be on television.
Those who attended his service on Sunday anticipated his arrival and where glad to finally to hear him speak, but many felt that he left a lot of questions unanswered. Even during his press conference, Bishop Eddie Long made his statement, never took one question as many believed that he would do and left the podium.
It is believed that due to a statement made by Bishop Eddie Long during his Sunday service, he may have some evidence of his own. The pastor compared himself to the biblical story David and Goliath in 1 Samuel, chapter 17. “I have 5 stones, but I have not thrown one yet,” stated Bishop Eddie Long. Goliath was a giant Philistine warrior who had combat with young David, who was the future king of Israel. David won the combat by striking giant Goliath in the head with a stone shot from his sling.
Meanwhile, in one of the suits, there are claims that Bishop Eddie Long coerced young male members such as Anthony Flagg into kissing, sexual massages, masturbation and oral sodomy.
Flagg suits states that employees and agents of the church such as Andrew Moman (Minister and Athletic Director at New Birth), Anthony Render and April McLaughlin often accompanied Bishop Eddie Long and Anthony Flagg on overnight trips and knew that the two were sharing rooms. In addition, Anthony Flagg’s suit claims that he has suffered emotional distress, mental pain and suffering and adverse physical consequences and because of Bishop Eddie Long’s negligence, Flagg has been subjected to public scorn and ridicule.
All the four Plaintiffs photos have hit the Internet which include Jamal Parris, 23; Maurice Robinson, 20; Anthony Flagg, 21 and Spencer Legrande, 22.
Check out mugshot photos of Anthony Flagg and Maurice Robinson who are accused of breaking into Bishop Eddie Long’s office and stealing jewelry, an iPad and other things. Although Anthony Flagg’s picture is from another incident (assault charge), it is believed he is connected to the office robbery that took place sometime in June at the church. Maurice Robinson, who was caught on camera with an accomplice was charged with burglary.
According to AJC, the attorney named B.J. Bernstein who represents all the plaintiffs stated that her clients were angry at Long and seeking retaliation after learning he was involved with other men.

Ok David that rock missed the mark. Again these are teenage boys what do you expect of them but to be doing what teenagers do.
I don’t believe these three young men for the fact that they claim this has been going on since they were in their teens. I don’t believe any young black male who is being brought up in the church could keep that a secret. As teens of any color or gender secrets are not commonly kept. Also if this relationship with the pastor is true, why would it take them all so long to come forward… and why now? There is so much more to this that has yet to be told. Money and greed will be found the reason for this public embarrassment.
To Robert…I will pray for you that your faith in God will not be determined by what man says or does. Let your heart lead you and read and study the word of God for yourself. You do not have to belong to any church to feed your soul. You are your own church and it’s in your heat. When God comes back for his church…he is not taking any buildings, but his people. I pray that you will not be left behind because of what the sinner man/woman does. Let God deal with them!
Right on totellthetruth! Not even a pebble’s.
More like a pebble than a stone.
I honestly feel that both parties are to blame if these allegations turn out to be true. For one, Eddie Long being a married, man of God should never have used his power and financial means to prey upon these young men and coerce them into any kind of sexual activity. Especially since he is so “anti-gay.” However, at the age these boys are claiming this sexual abuse started occuring they were well aware of what was happening to them. I truly feel that they were enjoying the money, trips, cars, etc. and were willing to do anything to continue getting those things. Plus, any heterosexual 16 year old is not going to just sit there and allow a man to sexually abuse them, father figure or not. So I think maybe, just maybe, these young men were bisexual or gay to start with so having a relationship with the bishop wasn’t wrong in their eyes until he “left” them or “moved on”. Just MY opinion.
There is something wrong with these four men waiting all these years to come forward and then all at the same time. Sounds like a consipiracy to me. I dont’ understand the spandex photos, but maybe there was a legitimate reason for the photos and because a scandal is involved, these photos are being used. God knows the truth and I don’t believe these men could have kept this completely silent and quiet all these years. I don’t believe them!
Even when I was a child, I knew when someone was leading me astray. I knew when someone was asking me to do wrong. I told my mother and she handled it. I can’t believe these men could keep this completely silent. Where was there fathers?
This is indeed tragic and not unusual. Ministers select the weak and needy and gain their confidence before beginning the seduction. This happened to a relative and at almost 45 years of age, he has not recovered.
He preyed on young men without fathers, led them to believe he was their father, and they didn’t want to lose him. I find that believable. BUt my question is Why was he joking in church when he “addressed” this? This is not a time for laughs, guilty or innocent.
I believe these boys/mens!!! The pastor have it twisted “He feels like he is David fighting Gollath” Those boys/mens are the “David” and he is “Gollath”. Those boys/men have the burden of proof with no money, the pastor have supporters from his church and the world, along with other ministers, and all the money! Those boys/men have only a few people that believe there stories about Mr Long.
A real man, wants to be somewhere with a woman, expecially trips!!!
it’s so easyto blame another where were the parent’s during the so called trips ? we want to blame others but it starts with the responsible parent, and chaperones. we have to tread carefully with judging his man servant the devil comes to still and kill and devide churches are already on attack why go to the media? the church needs to shut down and fast and pray for all those involved. god is not please withany of this. the bible says to pray for them in high places are we praying orwaiting for more gossip. stop talking and start praying!
You people are blind. There is not one perfect person on this earth. If you try or claim that you are than you are a lie. Men on the down low is a big thing with the black men. Not saying all but some gay men give their lives to the lord and never admit they were gay or feeling gay. He might have thought that the young guys wouldn’t know what he was trying to do. Just all laughs for them and getting off for the pastor.
I’m not accusing him but everyone wants to jump on these young men for telling the truth. The older you get the more sense you have. These guys watch him preach against the very thing he might have done to them !
Oh and by the way I can tell a gay guy or a straight married guy with a gay weakness.
He has that little tucked away secret right in his pants !
