Bishop Eddie Long Accuser Says They Had Sex in Church!

Thursday, September 30th 2010 | Leave a Comment

Here’s part 2 of Jamal Parris‘ interview with MyFox Atlanta, where the 23-year-old paints a vivid picture of a man he considered a father who has a split personality: “Bishop Long is in the pulpit, Eddie Long is in the private. And we know Eddie Long. That’s a whole other man. … Enough is enough. This man is– he’s done too much damage to the lives of young men and it’s time it stops.”

Parris says that his father-son relationship with Bishop Eddie Long turned sexual when he became of age, and it happened in several different places, including church “before and after service.” (HOW SICK!!)

Check out part 2 of Jamal Parris’ interview below…

Bishop Long is in the pulpit, Eddie Long is in the private,” said Parris. “And we know Eddie Long. That’s a whole other man.” Jamal Parris says the charismatic leader of the 10,000-seat megachurch New Birth Missionary Baptist is leading a double life, and he felt it was time to bring it to an end. “Enough is enough,” said Parris. “This man is– he’s done too much damage to the lives of young men and it’s time it stops.” In an exclusive interview in Colorado, where he now lives, Jamal Parris painted a picture of a bishop who is adored in public, but in private preys on young, impressionable men, looking for a father figure and love.

“Being around him is almost like a drug,” Parris explained. “You can’t believe the place you are at in your life and the things you are doing and the cars you are driving, and the people you are meeting. So, it becomes, if I want to continue to feel this love and this power, I’ll do whatever my dad wants me to.” Jamal says that what the bishop wanted was sex. He said it began after he became of age, and he said it was constant. “His house. The hotels. His condos. In the church,” Parris said. “In the church, before and after service.” Bishop Long never flatly denied the charges in the lawsuit during last Sunday’s sermon, but his attorney has said they are not true.

“Did you receive those pictures?” FOX 5′s Dale Russell asked Parris. “I received those pictures,” Parris said. “Did he ask for pictures like that from you?” Russell asked Parris. “Yeah,” Parris replied. Parris says the bishop exchanged pictures as he coached them on building up their bodies, and improving their physical appearance for him. “The pictures speak for themselves,” said Parris. “A man in his underwear talking. Sending pictures from a bathroom, and it ain’t to his wife. It’s to us. They speak for themselves. You be the judge of that.”

Parris claims in his lawsuit the jewelry, the cash, the gifts, the trips in the bishop’s private plane came at times from church coffers, and that top church officials knew what was going on. “Was some of the money that was spent on you and the others church money?” Russell asked. “Yeah, absolutely,” Parris replied. “No doubt about it?” Russell said. “No,” said Parris. He says he was surprised to find out other young men claimed they too were sexually involved with the bishop. “All we wanted to do was talk and just say, ‘Help me with this hurt that you caused.’ And he had no sense of reverence, guilt, or remorse. So if you are not going to deal with us privately, then you are going to have to sit down publicly, one way or the other. But you are not going to hurt another young man another day in our lives.” And together, they decided to come forward and file lawsuits.

“I want my pain to stop,” said Parris. “I want the pain of the other sons to stop. I want to make sure this pain never starts for another young man that goes to this church. And I actually want his pain to stop.”

Bishop Eddie Long’s attorney, Craig Gillen, sent FOX 5 an email that states, “Unfortunately the plaintiffs and counsel are attempting to try their lawsuits in the media. The appropriate place to try lawsuits is in the court room.”

    Real talk this is what you call when a lover’s fed up!!! On the real, all these guys knew what time it was, they trusted Eddie Long and gave into the acts because they were getting something in return just like a woman would do, but when things go wrong or your man is cheating, you find any way to make him pay for your heartache. Every guy is saying that he didn’t touch them physically until they were of age so what are they really trying to get paid for???

    I can see that Eddie Long is a child’s predator due to the allegations and if found guilty of using the church funds and hiding behind the churches pulpit to do his dirty little undercover down-low life style, then yes he needs to be out-ed and needs to step down from the church. I believe he is guilty and all his lovers are fed up and now coming out to seek revenge and even though the guys are playing the victim card, it still doesn’t change the fact that Eddie Long is a hypocrite and needs his azz beat for misleading the church congregation and his family to think and believe he is something he is not, he is FAKE and a LIER, just watch and see when this is over!

    It’s about time some of the slime of the world who are accusing clergy of these terrible crimes aginst young people get off the Catholic clergy and give it to some of the other religions. You see though, that they have taken it to a large church with a lot of money to pay off with. Hmmm does this say something about the smell of fish?

  • InPrayer4All

    @RAJI: Withdrawl symptoms. LOL…I aint saying that it didn’t happen for whatever reason, but when it ended and there was no more of the drug, you gotta think how it would feel to want the same high and cant get it. I hurt and pray for everyone involved in this whole nasty saga..

    If this is true, what has the chruch allowed inside? This is a sure sign that our world is headed for destruction. We must return to our roots, we must repent, we must stop making men our idol(s), because he will always surely fail us. America was founded on Christian beliefs;.however, we have moved so far away from true Christianity, so much so, that the world has made it’s preverted bed in our chruch. The one thing I hope and pray for is that for those who are new to the faith and those who are spiritually weak do not fall for the trap that satan has set. I hope they will not walk away from their faith but remain and continue to press toward Jesus the Christ! Our one and only Savior!
    The devil knows his time is winding up so he will try every trick in the book, including the clergy. Please people don’t fall for this and don’t allow this in our church in any shape or form! Eddie needs to step down!

    Bernice King, stand up for what is right. You are not going against a man of God because Eddie Long is a False Prophet/Anti Christ. Being against Gay is right, but love the person and hate the sin and teach them what the word of God says about the lust of the flesh. Please God, not Martin, not Eddie and not yourself, but God. 2 ways, 1. Walk away and stand up for what is right, or 2. Stand up for right, right there where you are. Don’t be ashamed. Too much Pride can cause one to lose their soul. Eddie cannot make it right until he gets right and stop twisting the word of God around. If anyone stands by Eddie, it is because they have the curse of Eddie on them. Curses can be broken, not only was the drug like persuasion that was described by on of the plaintiffs felt by the plaintiff, but it seems to have a hold on all who support Eddie Long, As in Jim Jones.

    I agree with CHURCH.. It’s time people put their focus and faith back in Jesus Christ, and the CREATOR!!! all ways know that CREATURES will fail because thery are human..and Jesus knows that..That is why HE Came because we could not do it in our selves..So don’t trip when these men do what they do..Know this JESUS NEVER FAILS..that why the church I go to JESUS is the Pastor..and they try to slide us because we say this.. One thing I know..there will never be a scandal on HIM..Adivice to the wise ‘get with the Pastor that NEVER LIES! The BIBLE sayes, PRIDE comes before a FALL! some pride must have come in there somewhere..and he was taken down.. Repent and HE will put you right back UP! That is what Our Pastor likes to do!

    My heart goes out to this Church! I am Catholic and understand the devastation such scandals wreak on a congregation! If the Church is true it’ll survive. If not God will remove it’s lamppost. Keep this Church in your prayers and believe that the Truth will be revealed. Keep the faith and all will be healed.

  • Martins

    It is not by someone’s fault that the church would not survive, remember about the destuction of sodomah and Gomorah, God said if i find at least 10 righteous man, i will not destroy the cities. But please, let us bear in mind, that this is not about the bishop, but the church. i believe if praising the God of heavens, the church will survive. remember jesus didn’t say it would be easy.

    People who have not been sexually abused don’t understand how the victims of abuse suffer. It’s not something that goes away. We learn to cope with the pain, but the shame associated with being abused never goes away. Bishop Long explains away his crime by saying he’s not perfect. That’s not an acceptable answer. He’s knows better than to use his power to prey on the members of his congregation. He knows better that to abuse his position in the church and he needs to suffer the consequences for his outragious behavior.
