Bishop Long ‘Falls Out’ from the Anointing of Apostle Raul Avila [Live Report]

Bishop Eddie Long falls out as Apostle Raul Avila prays for him at July 3, 2011 service

On Sunday, Fourth of July weekend, Bishop Long had another service that was unlike his usual routine. After all of the news about the four men who accused Bishop Long of sexual misconduct, we assume nothing will ever be the same at New Birth M.B.C in Atlanta.

This Sunday service was packed into one as New Birth will only have one service on Sundays throughout the summer. The guest speaker and minister was Apostle Raul Avila of Christ for All  Nations Center from Venezuela.

Accuser Jamal Parris’ Arrest Had All the Tell-Tale Signs Of A Drug Dealer

Bishop Long’s accuser Jamal Mohammad Michael Parris was stopped by Florida Highway Patrol officer on Tuesday night for no tags on his brand new 2011 BMW.  Sgt. Seth Dubinsky stopped the car. When he approached it, he smelled marijuana.

While Dubinsky found 181 grams of marijuana, 50 clear plastic baggies, a Taurus semiautomatic handgun and $1,250 in cash, he knew this was a drug deal in the making. He stated what he found was “indicative of a drug dealer.”

Bishop Eddie Long’s Accuser Jamal Parris Arrested for Marijuana and Gun Possession

Jamal Parris was very pivotal in the involvement of the sexual misconduct case against Bishop Eddie Long. His interview with Fox 5 News Atlanta’s I-Team was very believable as many felt.

Well, the young man is in some real trouble of his own which has nothing to do with Bishop Eddie Long. According to Fox 5 News, about one month after the settlements of Bishop Long were paid to the young men, accuser Jamal Parris was stopped by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper and was arrested and charged with felony count of marijuana distribution and use of firearm during commission of a felony. The arrest took place in Miami Beach, where the I-Team is told Jamal Parris has been living for the past three weeks.

Bishop Long May Be In Court to Take Witness Stand in Burglary Case

Though Bishop Long was able to avoid going to trial in the sexual misconduct case with four young men who accused him of sexual coercion, he may be called to the stand as a witness in the burglary trial.

Anthony Boyd, who formerly worked at Bishop Long’s New Birth Church as a security guard, is accused of breaking into Long’s office on June 12, 2010 and stealing $100,000 worth of jewelry and electronics, including an iPad and iPhone. On Tuesday, he appeared with his lawyer David Fife in court to enter a not guilty plea to the burglary charges, reports Christian Post.

The young man whose the only one left being accused of breaking into Bishop Eddie Long’s New Birth Church office last June, appeared in court Tuesday. He not only appeared in court but when he arrived, he did so in a Cadillac Escalade chauffeured limousine.

The accused Anthony Boyd was all smiles coming out of his fancy car. We are not sure why he showed up to court to make a showcase appearance for the cameras but he did not seem very worried this time about the case.

Bishop George Bloomer ‘Reviving’ Bishop Long’s Hip Hop Church, New Birth?

Bishop George Bloomer Reviving Bishop Long’s Hip Hop Church, New Birth?

On Sunday, Bishop George Bloomer, senior pastor of Bethel Family Worship Center Church in North Carolina, preached both services at Bishop Long’s New Birth church.  We were not sure what to expect from Bishop George Bloomer because he preached some at the beginning and then it turned into a stand up comedy show. He clowned around and preached about how some people are not anointed for certain positions in the church. He stated some people should not  be rewarded with giving the announcements if they can not speak; or ushers should not be in a wheelchair (Hovearound) as they will get stuck going down the aisles.

Suspect Anthony Boyd in Bishop Long’s New Birth Burglary Speaks Out

Anthony Boyd is one of the young men who burglarized Bishop Long’s New Birth M.B.C’s office last year. Boyd and two other young men were implicated in last June’s theft — both of whom later filed a civil lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct against Long. Only Maurice Robinson was charged with burglary; suspect Anthony Flagg was not charged due to a lack of evidence.

In September 2009, Bishop Long spoke with Anthony Boyd in front of the congregation during a service:

AT2W Discusses Credibility of Report on Vanessa Long and More News

We at AT2W, give our opinion on many issues as well as facts. But one thing we do not do is tell untruths. We try and unveil the truth behind many subjects but there is no reason to add untruths to an already bad situation. Integrity means everything.

So, with that being said, the report we came across this weekend about Bishop Eddie Long’s wife First Lady Vanessa Long and her allegedly leaving the home she shares with her husband is being questioned by our staff.

Video of ‘NYTN’ Driving to Confront Bishop Long at His Mansion

We just got hold of this video tonight of Youtuber ‘Not Your Typical Negro’ and his ride up to Bishop Long’s home to confront him about his Youtube channel getting shut down amongst other things.

If you have been keeping up with the latest on Bishop Long, you would know that just this week Not Your Typical Negro made a video which included an excerpt of a recent sermon by Pastor Creflo Dollar. Pastor Creflo Dollar went on a rant last Sunday about ex-New Birth members leaving Bishop Long’s church and that they should go back there and and support him.

Reports Says, Bishop Long’s Settlement Payoff Was Allegedly $25 Million

Reports Says, Bishop Long’s Settlement Payoff Allegedly Was $25 Million

We received this news from a report that Bishop Long settled out of court with the four young men for nearly $25 million dollars. There was word going around after the dismissal of the case about two weeks ago that Long paid $15 million dollars to his accusers.

Now, this report from AllVoices , (not AT2W) states along with the monies being paid, Bishop Long agreed to a private apology as a part of the deal. The report also stated that the four young men were $40,000 per year even before the allegations surfaced or a suit was filed against Bishop Long.
