Notice that AP doesn't mind, at all, in indentifing the ascused, no matter whether the accusations are true or not. Yet, they make a big deal about not indentifing the plainiffs????

Just saying!!

I just saw this moments ago on CNN...

This may or not be true.

Be that as it may, my grandmother used to say, "Sin is sin, no matter who it is in," at the same time, never relishing in the failure of others.

People get caught up in sin and mistakes in judgment, and it is tragic, whether is it someone we know or merely know of.

The certainty of life is that this will not be the last we hear of a personal failure.

We can only pray for the saving grace of the Lord to do His work, and for the healing of the families involved.

I saw this last night on CNN, and it made me incredibly sad. He's done those Men's rallies here in Jackson for years at the biggest Baptist church in town. He's had a lot of influence in the lives of men in a positive way. I really hope this isn't true, but nothing really surprises me anymore.

I'm reading a lot of reports of fallen and accused ministers. Satan is attacking those who serve... we should take a time out and pray for them sometime today.

It's official now Baptists are Charismatics.

There is huge distinction here to be made between a pending civil case which can be brought up by anyone, at anytime and often for most frivolous of reasons as opposed to a criminal case where a pastor admits to a felony.

In the case of medical malpractice, sexual harrassment, the Internal revenue and this case, it is generally accepted that you are guilty until proven innocent.
I recall Joel Osteen's wife being in court regarding a tiff with a stewardess. She won and was treated as guilty until the case was given a verdict.
This has all the ingredients for an out of court settlement.

I agree with you and that is why I hope Bishop Long DOES NOT settle out of court!

I think these two young men see this as an opportunity to "get rich quick" at the expsense of another man's hard-earned and solid reputation.


If he is innocent of what he has been accused of, he should fight this to the bitter end.

As an ex-lawyer, all I can say is that Long had best have no skeletons in his closet--even ones not related to this issue, because discovery will bring them out. That prospect may make him want to settle, to make this go away.
