NOT GAY BISHOP EDDIE LONG NOW ACCUSED OF FRAUD

FRAUD?
REMEMBER Eddie Long, the megachurch pastor who's definitely not gay - even though he paid off four teenage boys, rather than fight their allegations of homosexual behavior, which we reported, here.
Well now, ten former members of his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, GA are suing the oh so clean pastor for conspiring to defraud them out of their retirement savings.
Their saying that he used his powers as a pastor to persuade them to invest in the financially troubled City Capital Corp at investment seminars hosted by the church.
The plaintiffs said in a lawsuit that in 2009 Long invited Ephren Taylor, then CEO of the company, to speak at New Birth, where he told them they could get rich.

DID MEGA-CHURCH PASTOR ZACHERY TIMS OD? COPS

DRUGS?
A MEGA-CHURCH Pastor found dead in a Times Square hotel room was found with an envelope of white powder in his pocket, cops say. 
Multimillionaire Zachery Tims's death remains a mystery after the autopsy proved inconclusive, so cops will now test the substance to see if it sheds any light on his mysterious death. 
The founder of the New Destiny Christian Center, which boasted of a membership of more than 8,000 people, claimed on his website that he'd overcome a drug addiction and became a pastor because "God had a greater plan."
But now it appears he may have been tempted again, during his stay at the luxurious W hotel.
It wouldn't be the first time he had fallen into temptation. 
In his memoir, "It's Never Too Late," he writes that he was convicted of attempted murder at age 14 and spent two years in juvenile facilities.

'STRAIGHT' BISHOP EDDIE LONG: ANOTHER MAN COMES FORWARD

COMPLETELY STRAIGHT
REMEMBER "completely straight" mega-church pastor, Bishop Eddie Long who paid off four teenage boys, who he'd allegedly had relations with, rather than go court.
Well now it's emerged that a fifth young man, Centino Kemp has also confronted lawyers about his relationship with the pastor during the settlement negotiations.           
The 22-year-old, who has Long's name tattooed around his wrist along with the words, "Never a Mistake, Always a Lesson," did not officially file a lawsuit, but also got a payout.
A lawyer close to the case confirmed to WAGA TV  that Kemp was involved but claimed he was "different from the other young men" which made the case "more difficult."

MEGACHURCH BISHOP EDDIE LONG DEFINITELY NOT GAY

DEFINITELY NOT GAY
EXPENSIVE suits, flashy jewelry, well groomed appearance - nope nothing to suggest a gay man at all.
And despite having vowed to fight the sex allegations between him and four teenage boys, their is apparently no reason to think megachurch preacher, Bishop Eddie Long is gay - especially now he's paid them off instead of fighting their claims.
We have no problem with gay men but it does seem strange to us that he chose not attempt to disprove their allegations that he used to his power to influence them into sexual relationships, but instead settled the lawsuit with money - possibly millions.
