Whats up yall..well here we go with this on here!
For those who don't know by now, Bishop Eddie Long leads a flock of 25,000 members at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, near Atlanta, and is a noted televangelist. He is also an outspoken critic of same-sex marriage. Now, however, he is enduring notoriety. Four young men have sued him. They claim that Long used money, cars and trips to seduce them into sexual encounters. Long addressed the charges before his congregation and vowed to fight them.

Two accusers, Jamal Parris and Spencer LeGrande, stood before television cameras and maintained their own truthfulness.
But the question is...is the story gossip or news, and what distinguishes the two?
On Tuesday, Parris, 23, told WAGA-TV that he loved Longbut now considers him "a monster."
"I'm always going to have love for the things that he taught me," Parris said. "But how he left us hurt worse than anything I ever felt in my life."
Parris said it was not easy to speak out.
"So, while the media and the rest of the people around the city, around the country look at us like how could grown men let another man touch him, what you have to understand is this man has manipulated us since childhood," he said. "This was our father and we loved him."
Dressed in a tight muscle shirt and vest, Long said that if he thought people believed media reports on the scandal, "I'd be scared to show up, I'd be scared to look at you. But there's something in me bigger than the situation."
This is what they said was sent to them by the Bishop
