I used to enjoy her preaching (I am probably the only one here who would admit such a thing) but now I cant listen to her either-

Bishop Weeks did a special on BET in January talking as much about his side as he could. I think its legal things involved. He never said anything bad about her or thier marriage. He didnt bash her. I thought that was nice of him, after what she has been doing.

I wonder what the opening line of the book is? 'Love is a fight so ball up your fists and start-a-swingin'. I am only kidding, but it is a sad situation. It is a shame that relationships come to this wether in the lime-light or not. I am sure it is safe to say that both sides are at fault somehow. Rarely is there a side that is 'scott free' in these types of things. As A_Pomo said there are three sides to everystory. His, Hers and the truth. Maybe everyone can learn from this and hopefully there is a common ground that will be reached in any legal proceedings.

I saw JB talking about her marriage once. This was just after the wedding and such. During the interview they aired a portion of the service. Each of them, bride and groom, spoke to the congergation and just about preached. Anyway during the interview she mentioned a verse in the Bible talking about marriage and working with both hands. She said that is why she wears a wedding ring and a right hand ring to signify the unity of marriage and that is takes both hands to work a marriage. I believe the right hand ring was like a 2-4 karat diamond or something. It was WAY bigger than the wedding band. Does that signify something?? NM. As it seems it also takes two hand to be worth a dime in a fight. The marriage started the same as it ended...so it seems...with both hands.

A 2Headed Monster of a marriage/worldy 'ministry' will never work., conflicts of interest do NOT a marriage unify.

This may be presumptuous, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should he have hit his wife! I learned at a very young age that boys don't hit girls. I can see if he was somehow "defending" himself, maybe, but I don't believe that was the case here. How can you hit a girl?!!! And in his video, he just seemed so, I don't know how to say it, but just too smooth? glib? Man, he hit a woman used by the Lord!

So if the 2 of them were married, does that mean that JB-W was an official, "Apostolic" believer?
If yes, was she an Apostolic before marriage to him? What is her background and if she was Apostolic, is she one still?

As for JB-W, when I lived in Grand Bay, I heard that she ministered at a UPC in Mississippi or LA and that the Spirit of the Lord was so strong there, like the place was cloudy-- even messed up the recording equipment. But that was several years ago, 2002 or 2003, if it's even true. I saw a video of JB-W's last year and I thought that she had become way too extravagant in her appearance, far beyond beautifully arrayed.

I never thought I'd place her in my "Christian Entertainment" category of famous Christian folk.

In that same video, where she was extremely decadent, she was not as powerfully used of God as she was in "No More Sheets". I still listen to her 1 cd that I have as it still ministers to me. I sure would like to get, "No More Sheets" on cd to listen to.

And sorry to come off as so flippant. I just bristle at the whole mega-monster ministry stuff and the slick meisters that people cowtow to in Christian culture, especially on the Charismatic side. I get all nervous at Jakes when he deigns to come out from behind his massive eco-unfriendly pulpit and struts around with his chest all puffed out. The whole arrogance, in-your-face , I'm all that a bag of chips things just rubs me wrong. That's what I think is sad and repugnant. Unfortunately people get caught up in the system and the higher you go the farther you fall, i.e. Weeks/Bynum. The whole thing is sad. And repugnant.

Youre the one coming off as sounding very judgmental and holier-than-thou here.

What do you know about Jakes life or his heart?
So the man has a large wooden pulpit in his church, and so you criticize him for his "eco-unfriendly pulpit"? Good grief.

Then you declare that he "struts around with his chest all puffed out" and refer to "I'm all that and a bag of chips thing" ?
Jakes indeed has a purposeful style of speaking, and yes,walking while in the pulpit, that'is common for preachers delivering a message. But how can you declare that he's "strutting", and "arrogant", as if you can see inside the man's mind and heart?

I'm not even a fan of Jakes, and I find your judgmental attitude repugnant.

Regardless, they are making a mockery of good christianity, much like Bakker and all those that came after him.

We need a return to genuine chrisitianity and get away from all of this hollywood hype.
And, I did not whisper while I said it.

I could't agree more!!! The devil can rest they do more to hurt the church than he ever did..
