*Bossip Exclusive* Bishop Eddie Long Stepping Down From The Pulpit After Sunday Sermon

[Ian David]

Bishop Eddie Long’s problems are continuing to mount (pun intended)! While so far the number of plaintiffs who’ve filed civil complaints against New Birth Missionary Baptist Church and it’s leader currently stands at three, BOSSIP sources tell us that number is rising and there’s only one logical thing for Bishop Eddie to do.

BOSSIP has learned from a well-placed source within the Church that AT LEAST 30 young men have contacted BJ Bernstein, the lawyer who filed the civil suit on behalf of Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson and Jamal Parris, and both Long and the Church are fearful more are coming.

Our source also tells us that Long had initially planned to step down from the Church today, however, with plans to address the congregation in this Sunday’s sermon it’s likely that he will announce his decision to take a reprieve from his duties when he is at the pulpit on Sunday.

An additional source familiar with Long and his practices at New Birth tells us that it’s a definite possibility that there could be at least that many plaintiffs, since Bishop Long selects new “Spiritual Sons” regularly and has been doing so for years!

1. Surely there's a special place in hell...

For those who do evil in the name of God... even if it's only in their own minds... you can't escape your own mind, so that's probably the best place to be punished anyway;)

8. Well, his wife, the 'First Lady' will surely take over his reins.

Scam artist... hypocrite... liar.

From their site:

Vanessa Griffin Long, a native of Columbus, GA., is the wife of Bishop Eddie L. Long and First Lady of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, GA. Mrs. Long came to New Birth in 1990 upon her marriage to Rev. Eddie L. Long. Since then, she has served in several capacities as an exemplary leader and an example of a virtuous woman.

Mrs. Long graduated from Atlanta's Morris Brown College in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science degree in office administration and subsequently worked for 10 years with the U.S. Department of Education.

16. Oh. Well, then... NOBODY can argue with a "virtuous woman".

12. Multi-Million Dollar Lawsuits

Every one of these young men who were damaged by this hypocrite. Sue this "Christian" and dig DEEP into an investigation because I would bet a paycheck that there is also financial theft going on on a massive scale.

Disgusting. And worse, to stand there and profess to be a man of God. What a vile human being.
