I truly hope he is innocent, but from everything I've seen so far, I predict that it will come out that the allegations are true. At least he didn't do the Ted Haggard, "I don't know this man" shuffle.

I say give 'em all lie detector tests and see how they come out. If it was me and I was accused of anything like this, I would be willing to do that and make it public if the accusers would as well. I am really saddened by all of this.

WHAT??????

Are you saying what it sounds like you're saying??? Surely not.

It will not become true. It is either true or it is not.
The truth exists whether you believe it or not.

I don't believe this.

I don't think this is coming from a reputable source.

I don't believe it, either. This article was obviously wrong about him resigning this morning. In fact, I don't believe ANY of it until proven otherwise.

I'm troubled by those who are saying they expect it to be true. What's wrong with expecting good out of someone?? I get the sense that some people are cheering against him and the UPC pastor from Ohio. What's wrong with cheering for something GOOD to happen?

Wow. Lot's of harsh things being said.

Hmmm.....this is different than what I heard, but mine was second hand info. So you're probably right. Funny how two people can get different things from what someone says....maybe the person who told me was wanting to hear what they did.

I really hate this; I so hope it's not true. But it's beginning to look weird.

Bishop Long was born in Charlotte, N.C., where his father, Floyd Long, was a Baptist minister and owned a service station. In interviews and his books, he has described his father as a drinker and emotionally distant.

“To be candid, I’ve been working to remove the tentacles of nearly 40 years’ worth of pain and complications that came my way against my will during the first 12 years of my life, and my father was a preacher,” he wrote in his 2002 self-help book, “What a Man Wants, What a Woman Needs.”

He studied business at North Carolina Central University, then went to work as a sales representative for the Ford Motor Company, but was fired over inaccuracies in his expense accounts. He moved to Atlanta to study theology and became the pastor of a small church in Jonesboro, Ga.

He takes 3 million salary. Plus perks. He is surrounded by body guards. I guess God can't protect him.

B]Ford [/B]revealed today that its CEO Alan Mullaly was compensated with a package worth $21.7 million last year. His base pay was $2 million and he received incentive bonuses totaling $7 million.

Mullaly is a friend of one the the VP's in my company from back when he was at Boeing. They can't run wild and crazy pay schemes like the pastors that own their own churches.

I agree with you Sherri. I didn't get out of it what MOW said, and if I'm hearing MOW correctly, I'm monumentally disappointed at his take. Shocked, hurt, and sickened actually. But I'm hoping when he clarifies, he makes it sound better.

But anyway, here is the link to what Eddie Long said. And I desperately hope he is not the man being portrayed. I can't stand the TBN prosperity thing, but I really like Eddie Long.
