Thursday, September 30th 2010 | Leave a Comment

One of the men accusing Bishop Eddie Long of using his position of power to coerce them to build sexual relationships with him is publicly speaking out for the first time. Jamal Parris is one of four young men who filed a lawsuit against Long, claiming that the 57-year-old New Birth Missionary Baptist Church acted as a father enticed them into having sex with him in exchange for money, cars, clothes, jewelry, expensive vacations/trips and more.

In a recent interview with MyFox Atlanta, 23-year-old Parris describes how traumatized he felt about the situation, recalling how hard it was to get rid of his scent no matter how many showers he took among other things. Watch by clicking below:

    You said he was a father figure. You accepted his gifts. Now it is a nightmare. Sure. You can not forgot the love and what else. The pain of him not wanting to do it any more? Now you wanted a father figure and you should know that a father would not expect his son to have any sort of sexual fallacies with him or her. You did not know the word of God and you came out because you could not get the gifts you wanted? He said call him Daddy? You had not issue with that then. You should have asked your mother. God is your father. Why do people think they have to have a flesh father. The word of God is our father and we make the choice he says to make and do the things he says to do.Now you want to cry wolf. Because you can not smell his cologne and cry when he takes you home. So you went along with this for so many years and you told no one? So what is your motive now. You are hurt so you want to hurt him and his family? What is your sexual orientation now men?
    You should have asked your mother and she should have raised you up to be men and not boys. So you would not be so easily lead by predators. God keep you and bless you in your time of grief.

    When a boy grows up deprived of the love of a father, he is vulnerable to the lust of a predator. I don’t care how many scriptures you quote, the void makes him vulnerable. I raised a son who is not related to me by blood. In his formative years, he had alot of anger and feeings of abondonment. Bio-dad was not there. Funny thing about kids is they will create the image of the perfect dad when their father abondons them. Though I could not live up to the image of the father that my son created, the Lord gave me the grace to be the father that he needed. He is a strong man now about the same age as Jamal. When I saw this video I could not help thinking: what would have happened to my boy if he had fallen prey to a man who was the image of a perfect dad; but had an evil motive?

    We as the Body of Christ, need to come together and Pray for ALL OF THEM RIGHT NOW ! The Father, know the TRUTH.

    Beverly, I know that you are offering an opinion, but you need to try not to judge this young man so harsely. I am quite positive that you have gone along and or have followed someone who’s behavior was in question. Yet, you (pretending to be a person with morals) are juding him. You speak as if you are a Christian and if that is the case, i suggest that you re-read your Bible, particuliarly the part about ” Those without sin cast the first stone”. If this young man and others like him are lying, then God himself with straighten it all out. We don’t know if this is a spirtual “Test” that the Bishop is facing or if his transgressions have finanly caught up with him. Either way, God knows the truth and he will judge all of them. Quite frankly, I am going to remain concerned about keeping my only life in order rather than trying to figure out if a “Preacher” did or did not do something unethnical. And if he did, he wouldn’t be the first preacher. He wont be the last. Think about it !

  • Twyla

    Yes I agree with fredrick, we need to stand united and intercede if it’s true for the pastor , God did say that judgement would start in the house of God first!!. And if its a lie. we need to pray for those boys.

  • RAJI

    FIRST OF ALL WHY EVERYONE SO QUIKE TO SAY THIS MAN IS GUILTY AS AA MAN OF GOD ARENT WE SOPOSED TO GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT?. ISNT HE TO BE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY? I BET NO ONE WOULD EVEN CARE IF HE WASNT WORTH MILLIONS . BUT IF HE DID IT THEN HE SHOULD NOT ONLY BE SEUED BUT HE SHOULD BURN IN HELL ,THATS WHAT THE CHURCH TEACHES ,AND ON THAT SAME NOTE LITTLE BOYS HUTTS HAVE BEEN GETTING POPPED FOR CENTURIES IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HOW COME NO ONE KNOWS THE NAME OF THOSE HOLY SEX OFFENDERS WHY IS IT ALL WAYS SO NEWS WORTHY WHEN ITS A BLACK MAN? WHY THE HELL ARE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE SO WILLING TO BEAT ANOTHER BLACK MAN DOWN ? WELL IN THIS CASE IT OBVIOUS WHY ISNT HIS MINISTRY BASE IN GA. HOME OF THE HOSE NI**A AND UNCLE TOMS, BIRTHPLACE OF SLAVERY, ITS A SHAME HOW APPARRENT THE EFFECTS OF SLAVERY IS IN GA. AND NEVER ENDED, THE JUST CALL IT PROBATION NOW, AND JUST FOR THE RECORD HIS HAIR IS NO WORSE THAN DONALD TRUMP, OR ELVIS JUNKIE PRESLEY , IF HE WAS STILL AROUND HE WOULD HAVE STOLEN THAT HAIRSTYL FROM THE BISHOP LIKE HE STOLE BLACK PEOPLES MUSIC.

  • RAJI

    TOO BAD BISHOP EDDIE LONG WASNT A ROMAN CATHOLIC THEN HE COULD HAVE SEX WITH YOUNG BOYS AND NOTHING WOULD BE WRONG WITH IT JUST LIKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ,WOULD ANYONE BE SERPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT CHURCHES ARE FULL OFF PERVERTS HISTORY SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT US ALL THAT BY NOW DOESNT REALLY MATTER WHAT DENOMINATION THEY ARE STILL HUMAN WHEN ITS ANYTHING BUT A WHITE MAN IT SOOO WICKED AND JUST DOWN RITE EVIL BUT WHEN IT IS A WHITE MAN ITS MUST HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF CHILDHOOD ABUSE OR HE HAS A RARE MINTAL DISORDER ONE MONTH LATER ALL IS FORGIVEN ,NOTHING ELSE IS REPORTED,HE KEEP THE SAME POSITION IN THE CHURCH , THE Y EVEN CONTINUE TO PASS AROUND TENDER LITTLE CATHOLIC BOYS,THAT THE CHURCH OWN,FOR THOSE PORPOSES,THEY ARE STR8T PIMPS SO MUCH FOR PAYING TIDES A LITTLE BUTT WILL DO JUST FINE.

  • MARCO

    THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS HERE IS: DID EDDIE DO IT? I DON’T WANT TO HEAR NOTHING ABOUT THE MOTIVES OF THIS MEN. IT DOES’T MATTER. EDDIE IS A PREACHER, SO CALLED MAN OF GOD. HE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO GOD AND HIS MEMBER TO BE HONEST AND LIVE A MORAL LIFE. I TIRED OF PEOPLE BEATING THESE GUYS UP FOR EXPOSING HIM. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT FOUR GROWN MEN WOULD EMBARRASS THEMSELVES BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD LIKE THIS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL GET PAID BUT THEIR EMBARRASSMENT IS. MEN DON’T PLAY THESE KIND OF GAMES. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY THIS TYPE OF THING HAS HAPPEN WITH GROWN MEN. I BELIEVE EDDIE COMMITTED THESE ACTS AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO SUPPORT HIM SHOULD BE ASHAMED. THIS IS NOT A MISTAKE OR HIS IS JUST HUMAN. THIS IS A LIFESTYLE AND THIS MAN HAS PURPOSELY DECEIVED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FOR YEARS. AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE EMBARRASS SO NOW THEY HAVE TO PROTECT HIM BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN STUPID ALL THIS TIME FOLLOWING A LIAR.

    Should The Pulpit Be Held To Higher Standards Than Elected Office?

    Not all with a license knows how to drive,
    Nor is every pilot in the cabin able to fly,
    Surely not every doctor is able to mend,
    And will all lawyers successfully defend?

    Do not let pleasantries before your eyes,
    Allow your feelings to erroneously decide,
    Listen before it is too late to run and hide,
    Be sure the pulpit is spiritually circumcised.

    The devil is definitely working overtime,
    Believe me this guy never takes a break,
    Remember the song about Santa Clause?
    I surely do, “So be good for goodness sake.”

    A few years back, Ted Haggard’s fall from grace,
    Beautiful mega-church, lot more than just a shock,
    How could such a popular & gifted church leader?
    Forget and leave his spiritual heart unlocked.

    Curiosity opened the door; sin crawled in his head,
    Although by the Blood of Jesus to sin we are dead,
    Lucifer launches attacks on the greatest to the least,
    Be on guard always for temptations from the beast.

    With a faithful 14,000 member congregation,
    Why did he succumb to Satan’s confrontation?
    This preacher should’ve know at the very least,
    You simply cannot mix holy water with grease.

    I am not trying to judge or diminish Ted’s name,
    This only goes to show that we are all fair game,
    Hunting season is open; Satan uses all his tools,
    The devil has no regulations & there are no rules.

    President of a religious sect 30 million strong,
    Now resigned after he admitting doing wrong,
    It certainly didn’t take the wolves very long,
    One dance with the devil, now is it all gone?

    One third of the angels that lived in heaven,
    Now call the pit of a burning hell their home,
    The reason Jesus was sent in the first place?
    The evil one will never leave you alone.

    Yet neither will God ever leave or forsake,
    However, the choice is still ours to make,
    With His blood Jesus already paid the cost,
    Was buying meth worth all that is now lost?

    Neither will I criticize about an alleged affair,
    Since I nor the sharks in the media were there,
    Letting one who is without sin cast the first stone,
    Means Ted Haggard will be judged by God alone.

    Sunday 11/05/06 I read that Ted Haggard did confess,
    Now I am wondering what is going to happen next,
    Just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all before,
    Bam! Another unbelievable situation knocks at the door.

    Let this be a reminder to all who live and breathe,
    That anyone of us can be mislead and deceived,
    The butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker,
    On Judgment Day all will answer to the Creator.

    Just to get a new congregation of souls to be purified and saved,
    Haggard had to be tested in the furnace, there was no other way,
    It was that experience making him the one for this current flock,
    However, God can’t proceed if you’re staring back at the clock.

    Although it looks like the damage is irreparable it’s temporary harm,
    2010, Ted’s ministering to hundreds of sinners in his backyard barn,
    So, because he went through the storm and didn’t quit in the middle,
    God is restoring his ministry just like the bible says, “little by little.”

    September 2010, has the evil-one struck another pastor on the face?
    Bishop Eddie Long in Atlanta apparently has sweetness in his taste,
    Not one, or two, nay three but four have come forward to filed a suit,
    Did he pay tuition, free housing, an endless supply of spending loot?

    Cell phone pix have surfaced although clothed Bishop seems to pose,
    Unlike Haggard shall this be one of those cases where God only knows?
    Not hardly because many in the congregation of his church were aware,
    Senior Eddie likes not to partake in panties but loves men’s underwear.

    Well, supposedly not what’s inverted but hanging loose on the outside,
    One thing or should that be four things, this many is impossible to hide,
    In fairness it is Saturday 09/25 tomorrow will be his first time in church,
    Since the allegations surfaced so let’s give him the benefit of doubt first.

    Pastor Eddie, please rebuke the sinners and kindly show them the door,
    Hey, do not be like Tiger with another dozen or so tirades, maybe more,
    He claims his problem was that he stopped chanting to Buddha, sure ok,
    But you Mr. Long preach, teach the gospel and in Jesus’ name you pray.

    Yeah, for sure a roaring lion will easily find and laughingly devour a lamb,
    But, from 300 members to a congregation of 25,000 you were, “Da-Man! ”
    On Sunday I took pleasure in, “Taking Authority” your sermon on the Word,
    Sexual misconduct was the farthest thing, still can’t believe what I’ve heard.

    Don’t forget for Bishop this is apparently and it is yet a proven fact,
    Goes to show the higher the echelon more scrutinized are your acts,
    09/26 Eddie said he feels like David but he too has 5 smooth stones,
    By the congregation’s shouts Pastor Long isn’t facing Goliath alone.

    Randy & Paula White divorced no scandal but what about Zachary Tims,
    Holy! Not with a man just a stripper in Paris, France his infidelity begins,
    Pastors and Ministers wherever the church or whatever the case may be,
    Much higher standard when speaking from the pulpit is required of thee.

    The Atheists are smiling, wagging their finger, you’re proving their point,
    Hold up in a Paris hotel room, a stripper, red wine, cocaine and a joint,
    Back on the spiritual podium, center of attention, joint custody of kids,
    It’s acceptable that you effectively spread the word after what you did?

    Ah, Paula pretty Paula, oh yes my dear selling cosmetics looking fine,
    While you are singing the praises of vitamin-D, just purchase online?
    Flying all over the world not commercially but on your own private jet,
    Sow a seed, the first fruit offering, that’s right honey, all you can get.

    Nothing wrong with spreading the gospel when you’re above reproach,
    However, incidents and those like them make religion out to be a hoax,
    I do not attend church much as I use to because I would hate to be rude,
    At home when a preacher tells a lie I just change the channel on the tube.

    The Oval Office is where our President’s have misused the power and lied,
    Isn’t there a difference between elected officials compared to the sanctified?
    In the sanctuary it is not about votes then demanding a recount to be sure,
    Although no human is perfect from the pulpit you’d better be next to pure.
