Last Sunday a woman walked up to embattled preacher Bishop Eddie Long during his sermon and handed him a stack of a thousand one dollar bills. Long seemed surprised as he hugged “baby girl” and said: “I see EVERYBODY moving like that!”
But according to Rhymeswithsnitch’s Daily Long Report, the Bishop’s own congregation seem to think the woman’s generous gesture was a hoax.
Her approach seemed timed to coincide with him saying, “What I NEED…”
They say the unlikely act of generosity was staged to nudge other members into opening their wallets and donating $1,000 or more for a proposed expansion of the church to other cities.
New Birth Missionary Baptist Church has seen a staggering decline in attendance since the news of his multimillion dollar settlement with former church members who claim they were coerced into providing Long with sexual favors.
In a screenshot taken from the video, the church pews near the back appear empty — as do the church’s upper tiers. Last Sunday, attendance at the church was at less than ½ capacity.
At this rate, New Birth will be forced to shut its doors in 6 months if attendance doesn’t pick back up. Long needs a huge infusion of cash to replace the millions that he paid out to his accusers.
I need to take over Ms. Cleo’s job…Just this morning I was telling someone it is only a matter of time before him and the church goes bankrupt…
:homoswitch:
I bet he hid his money just like LisaRaye ex hubby did. I am not convinced Bishop or the church is broke just yet but time will tell…
A thousands in $1
where she work at…………
damn fools
them people seem so hopeless…i guess it is better to stay with a sinking ship, than get in a life boat and have to come to grips with being bamboozled. Anybody left in that church are hopeless souls…
What? Strippers like charity too!
The Good Reverend Dr. Bishop Eddie Longstroke best get to selling off some of that shyt he own to pay that debt.
If we can just rewind and address our concerns with Eddie Longtroke’s front lace taupee we may be able to better understand the man. Anyone capable of putting that Wal-Mart rug on their head is capable of anything #justsaying!
OH and these congregation members? Where do I begin?
give me the hole in wall church in the hood, i never liked mega churches…
What would have been truly wonderful is if he would have in return gave that money to the congregation… “Make it Rain” style! LOL.. but seriously, even Stevie Wonder could see that was STAGED!!
I peeped ol’ girl’s body language and noticed the way that she kept holding her head down (as if in shame). Not only was her head down, but her shoulders were slumped as well.
Now tell me.. WHAT person do you know who is so BOLD to stroll up to a preacher WHILE he’s preaching and donates money or a gift of any kind without standing proud? I don’t mean proud as in “boastful”, but proud as in “I’m not ashamed to plant this ‘seed’ of Faith”..
Also, I don’t know how many people are familiar with spiritual people who are led by the spirit of God.. but most are shouting and rejoicing at the anticipation of the Lord’s blessing or giving praise for what the Lord has already done in their lives. ..Again, this lady just STROLLED right to her seat without much of a hand wave!
Something else that stood out to me was how OUT OF ORDER it was when she strolled up there to give him the money. And most times when church folks plant “seeds” of blessings, the money is placed on the alter/podium or the offering plate (which is close by) and NOT DIRECTLY IN THE PREACHER’S HANDS!!
I’m sorry, but I don’t see GOD in any of what just took place. SMH
When I was young, a popular pastor at my church was having an affair with a married women right across the street from the church. When everyone found out, the older folks voted him out and a lot of people left. Since then I never put a thing pass pastors. Anyway on twitter someone twit pic a picture of Eddie picking up some boys in his Maybach dated June 10, it isn’t a close of pic but she was positive in was him.

It’s hard to believe that intelligent people put their faith in that man. He seems so, what’s the word I’m looking for… uncouth.
that lady in the orange shirts look like” “i ain’t buying none of this”.
I got as far as “Bishop Eddie Long Strapped…” before I started thing terrible things. My imagination sure can be a curse sometimes.
that taupee aint helpin him tell his story any better
lol @ EB… she came str8 from magic city to maxke it rain on the bishop
Sandra, Please do a medical minute on Eddie Longs hair. Seemingly Jesus (the gardner NOT my Lord) parted the red sean and his header and footer
I just don’t understand why he didn’t have sex with young naive girls like any normal guy with power,money, and influence would have done
I remember when I visited his church a few years back, it was hell bad bishes in that mofo. And you tellin me you’d rather have some boys, than them broads??? He deserves everything bad that happens to him and his church! You aint Ordinary Eddie Long…. You aint Ordinary bruh.
Everything you do in the dark shall come to the light!!
Now, am I saying having sex with young girls (18+ of course) is right? Not at all! But is it normal?….. YES.
If I was a pastor of a mega church (25,000 members+) I would be using my power to bust down all them broads. 90% of Black Pastors do it anyway
Let’s be real… If Eddie Long was accused of having sex with some young females, his church would not be empty as we speak!
i bet he’ll know next time before he goes stinking somebody child’s penis in his mouth

That ish just aint ordinary..
Does anyone know for certain what the Settlement was though? I’ve heard reports of $25 million. Earlier I heard on Micheal Baisden that it was $50. Both numbers sound ridicuous to me. New Birth is a big church, but they aint got gwop like that
i was just telling my mother this is part of the reason why i do not attend churches anymore and we got into a heated debate because my grandmother raised me as well as my mother in a really strict christian upbringing, i have a uncle who is a bishop and we were raised to treat him like the next best thing to God and I always had a problem with that, i always saw grown men in the church with all these womanly ways and I don’t care about a persons sexual orientation what i do have a opinion about is portraying urself to be someone ur not. i’ll stick to my personal walk with my God and give my 10% to a charity that is actually making a difference in this world n not someone buying children for sex, cuz if they think he not doin it still they stupid as hell, weak minded ppl need someone to follow, God is not enough because although they claim He is all they need, they cannot see or touch Him and so they treat these “pastors” godly like because they are not comfortable in their personal walks with Christ
@ lblondon – I see this man in his Maybach often with his former (some) drug dealer friends often so I doubt your friend is lying. Reality is, he’s another ‘hood star.’
If anyone wants to help his cash flow, you can always patron the Ultimate Bar & Grill @ S. DeKalb
#dontshootthemessenger
Welp, eddie can always put his wig collection on E-bay to raise funds..
I got some land down here in Fl that I could unload for those ppl still attending & donating to his shenanigans for the cheap
#howblindcanube
Whatever that is on his head needs to be removed immediately
Sandra, we need a :makeitrain: emoticon ASAP

Ok, I just read on another news source that the stated settlement was only $8 million.
I don’t think anyone knows the actual settlement.
That was the most staged thing I have seen in a long time. She gave him the money and then walked the wrong way, then went back up to hug him. Why didn’t she just wait and give that money during offering? Why not go and turn it into a money order or check? Anybody in that congregation who stayed after finding out he was feeling up the young male flock should be out of there after seeing this. He should be so ashamed of himself.
so some random chick just gon bring you a thousand ones durin the service! Yeah right
IT’S OVER!!! HE IS A MESS!!!
Eddie Long is hot garbage and he needs a chin strap for that motorcycle helmet-shaped wig he has propped on his head.
Good morning to Sandra Rose and err-body!
He makes me sick nasty phucker
This pimp and his flock should all be pimp slapped. C’mon now!! If this doesn’t look like a set up I don’t know what does. And “baby girl” trotted back to her seat like she just dropped ten stacks on him. Damn dummies!!! And the music!!! WTF is up with the music? As soon as she puts them damn dollar bills in his hand the music is cued. That’s probably his own money. Money he used to make it rain over at Magic City where her shady ass works. Oh. I’m sorry! He likes little boys so I guess he wouldn’t be at MC unless they had boys night. And somebody should put an extra bitch slap for him wearing a damn lacefront that starts in the middle of his head! #sodisgustedwiththiscoon
“Do the Long Stroke…Eddie Long Stroke.”
Good Morning fam!!!
That hairpiece is killing me lol who does he think he is fooling lol
“I see errybody bringing money like that, I see errybody…”
Really?
Morning all!
What in the world could he preach and say to me… Yes we ALL have falling short of the glory of God, but when you are professing to be a man in position (A man of God/Preacher) You need to Practice what you Preach and Lead by example… I believe that he should be forgiven as we all should, but it’s time for him to step down out of that pulpit and be ministered to now and leave ministering alone… IJS!!!
Good morning my SR Family!!!
My son’s grandmother attends a church where you get to hug the pastor if you give a love offering of $500+ during offering. Anything less than that you just put it in the collection plate with all the other nobodies.
I left a small church because of ratchness with the Pastor and his children so it’s just not mega churches doing the fool.
That lady in the Orange shirt looking like, “WTF”. “Jesus paid it all, but I aint paying $hit”.
Nobody should be surprised because he is trying to save face and if he can get a few to show that they are down then others will follow because they are blind as hell and following someone who needs a true leader themselves!
I’m just shocked that he is still preaching the word after this scandal that you and I both know is true. Because if you’re not guilty, you don’t pay anything, you ride that car until the wheels fall off. And if you are not guilty you don’t dance around telling the truth, you claim your innocent, you don’t try to sweep it under the rug. All I gotta say is God don’t like ugly and false preachers/spiritualist and he will have to be judged by the man above and God will dig in that butt and not the way he would like it.
I mean where do all these church folks think he got the money to pay those men off.. don’t they realize it was their tithings and offerings that is paying these men off?? are his members that blind??

FAKE! The music was a dead giveaway!
