[@dewilew2137]

I agree, but he shouldn’t have touched the other guy like that. I understand he was trying to explain how the pastor touched them, but you can’t just run up and touch a sexual abuse survivor like that. Especially if that’s how the abuser touched them? You can tell that the guy was uncomfortable.

[@asiandoll2711]

The guy in the blue kept over talking the guy in the black. Every time he tried to speak, he kept cutting him off. I feel it is something truly wrong with him, & I 100% without a doubt feel that he was sexually abused (penetrated). I hope gets the help he deserves.

[@fitnessgoals1010]

​@@dewilew2137This guy in blue is in between being a victim and being a manipulator himself. He's learned it, and he can't decide if he should use it or speak against it. This is the moment in hero movies when the victim decides to use his pain to fight for good, or let his pain turn him bad.

[@MaeSekou]

I learned that over 20 years ago when this preacher in Portland, Oregon tried to make sexual advances toward me. I was a teenager (but not a minor) when he first approached me. It took him about a year and a half before he did so. He tried to groom me in to making me think he was so concern for my soul and my spiritual well-being. He would always tell me how feminine i was because I didn’t sit a certain way and was always groomed and smelling good. To him that was “effeminate” as he would say. When he couldn’t get me to move in with him so he could try whatever he felt he could, he told me that the “Holy Ghost” told him to cut me off. What these young men are saying lines up (almost exactly) to what that guy tried to do to me. However, there was no sexual intercourse of any kind. However, he did touch me several times inappropriately and tried to blame me for his flesh getting weak and that it was mutual. He always had teenage boys around him that were emotionally attached to them. Most of them were very nice boys. Some were feminine and some were not. This person is still pastoring and calls himself and apostle. Perhaps he has repented and gotten it right before God. But I still deal with this psychologically 20 years later to this day. I had to go to therapy a few years ago as a result. He was always telling me he loved me as if it were some type of spiritual thing. As a young man I did not understand what he was doing. Now, years later, I see what he was doing. He was very controlling, acted as if he was the most anointed person on earth and was always touching us on our heads. Even tried to snuggle up with us, making us think he was just a gentle affectionate man as Jesus was. It was a whole hot mess. I hope those young men are doing ok these days. I pray for healing!

[@standing4lifecr683]

+MaeSekou You bind the strong man of homosexuality and loose the spirit of a Holy covenant. You are straight, any thoughts coming into your mind is trying to change that . You fight against the lie, by applying the word to your mind and meditation. Your testimony is being used. Your offense does not define who you are. What"s it is , is that people get thoughts that come to their minds and they except it as their own, and sometimes it really is not. But its the enemy trying to change who you really are. Long has his church members under a satanic spell and it needs to broken.

Nothing wrong with the guy in blue....he has just completely opened his mind,body and soul to what happened to him and has, studied a lot about abuser/victim relationships, accepted what happened to him and forgiven himself. The reason why people find him odd is his openness to what happened to him, which is something considered a TABOO or weakness (especially for men). On the contrary it seems like he received plenty of good counseling and should be used as a model of recovery for other victims.

[@shellylong1622]

But these poor young men probably don't even feel fully vindicated when they look at him, but sorrow and pity for him because they loved him as a Father.

[@okic7b4i81]

+BigBoss AndTheDoll I was shown that Billy Graham began a full blown vatican inspired, Jesuit assault on Protestantism in 1948, with the assistance of Kathryn Khulman and Robert Scheuller, all were Masonic Jesuit Catholics. Their children continue the infestation and deceive Protestants with the same dedication, while pretending to be Protestants, just like their leader did. I believe all churches have been contacted and the legitimate pastors have been threatened or removed. Here's what the American icon of Freemasonry, Albert Pike, an officer in the Confederate Army and the founder of the K.K.K. had to say about the organization. The grammar, punctuation and sentence construction are on an 8th grade level, because he was semi-literate. "That which we must say to the crowd is: We worship a God, but it is a God which one adores without superstition. To you, Sovereign Inspectors General (33rd Degree) we say this; that you may repeat to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees: The MASONIC RELIGION should be, by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the LUCIFERIAN doctrine. If Lucifer were not God, would Adonay (Jesus) ...calumniate (Spread False And Harmful Statements About) him? YES, LUCIFER IS GOD..." Albert Pike 1870 Franc Maconnerie Universelle (Page 588) “Lucifer, Son of The Morning! Is it he who bears the light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds the feeble, sensual, selfish souls? Doubt it not!" Albert Pike 33 Degree Freemason Jesuits And Knights of Malta Oath To The Pope .....“I do further promise and declare that I will, when opportunity presents, make and wage relentless war, secretly and openly, against all heretics and Protestants and as I am directed to do to extirpate them from the face of the whole earth; and that I will spare neither age, sex, nor condition, and that will hang, bum, waste, boil, flay, strangle, and bury alive these infamous heretics; rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women, and crush their infants’ heads against the wails in order to annihilate their execrable race. That when the same can not be done openly, I will secretly use the poisonous cup, the strangulation cord, the steel of the poniard, or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank, dignity, or authority of the persons, whatever may be their condition in life, either public or private, as I, at any time, may be directed so to do by any agents of the Pope or superior of the Brotherhood of the Holy Father of the Society of Jesus.”

[@tonymills7660]

Aisha Blount it is a most terrible horrible doctrinal teaching that actually is in the scripture but the church for so long have ignored the biblical precepts on how to preach the Bible and the Lord simply work around the church saving them whom he planned to save. He work around the false preachers, the money-grubbing prosperity group, the lukewarm church members who merely came to church to get their blessing, and went home with no changes, no salvation. The truth is we must look at what the Bible tells us concerning the gospel, especially how we are to interpret scripture. 30/40 years ago it would have been unheard of to have a gay or lesbian pastor, today these things are happening right before our eyes. we disregard the warnings that these are Abominations before the Lord, the churches have decided, we are wiser than God, we will pick our own pastors, we will pick and choose the doctrines from the Bible which we like, We Will Worship the Lord in this way And the Lord has consistently and constantly warn the churches they were to keep his Commandments, or else he would remove the candlestick, Revelations 2 verse 5, the Lord clearly warned, he would come upon them when they are not aware and bring his judgment which is spiritual, shockingly amazingly he would turn the churches over to Satan this had already happened in one of the churches in Revelations when the churches were still babies, One Church Satan had already Soul invaded the church with unsaved numbers he now was ruling the church, and though Christ still with saving, the elect in the churches, Satan has gained a foothold today if we are not spiritually asleep we will see utter wickedness , the Rebellion, the pride of the church that has the audacity to change one word of the Bible We had better listen God has sent ,warnings he will judge a backslidden church, in fury of his anger , and jealousy the fear of the Lord is no longer in the churches,,

***** do they have proof that he didn't? Was he not "mentoring" young boys and having them with him without other adults around? when you are looked up to by someone who is young and naive about peoples intentions and are just starting to explore their sexuality then you have an easy prey. Sadly this happens more than you might think. I know because it happened to me.

[@babyzorilla]

***** you are naive. This is why people like Bishop Eddie Long continue to get away with things like this. Just because he is a man of god does not make him invulnerable to corruption. He had a lot of influence and he could enforce his influence to get what he wanted or who he wanted. The only thing he had to do was hide it. Then it would be them against me.

[@johnnydtractive]

Dreambro1, you are minimizing the damage Eddie Long did to his victims. All you have to do is watch the guy in the blue tshirt to see the harm sexual abuse does. That is an angry, betrayed, hurt & damaged man. Eddie Long chose boys he could manipulate & then manipulated & betrayed them. He taught them all they were good for was sex, being used. In other words, he taught them they were worthless as human beings, that people who claim to love them would actually just want to use & betray them instead. He also f***ed them over spiritually, because they'll never again feel like the church is a place of sanctuary, support, guidance. Eddie Long has alienated them from a source of spiritual strength & community that was clearly very important to them. The one guy even said he wanted to be a pastor before he met Long. That is a hard thing to go thru as an adult, then imagine having to survive that as a kid. These young men may struggle their whole lives to unlearn those lessons they internalized at the hands of Eddie Long. How are they supposed to have healthy relationships, for example, when they both said what they learned about life is TRUST NO ONE. Guy on the right has that tattooed on his arm, that's how hard he learned that lesson. So it's got nothing to do with Eddie Long being famous, it's about how damaging sexual abuse is & how longterm the harm. Oh, & also what a hypocrite Eddie Long was, condemning gay people while all the while secretly targetting teenagers.

It's obvious ya'll don't know a lot about molestation. When he said it wasn't sex, sex and molestation are not the same thing. Sex is consensual. Molestation and rape is not. And it could have very well involved mainly touching, oral, etc., but it was not consensual. And very likely meant that it was not penetration; penis to butt, for example. Please look this stuff up online and understand more before judging.

[@mahoganysweets67]

Molestation is when it's fondling, dry humping, caressing, making out, sucking, jerking and even fingering. Basically everything except putting the penis in the vagina or butt.

Don't continue to dwell on the negative. Get Jesus who died for our sin. Get saved. Get CHRIST. Repent and believe the gospel. In the name of Jesus Christ. It's power in the name of Jesus.

[@helened6896]

These young men communicate so well and it's very admirable. I would say to them or anyone who has experienced this or any kind of abuse, you can renew your mind through the Word of God, regardless of how tragic your experience in life is. God can do that. Stay with it. Read the Word daily and let it wash your mind as it claims to do. My heart really goes out to them or anyone who has been violated in this way. It's very sad that Pastor Long wasn't able to confess the truth but I'm guessing he just couldn't do that because of his wife and children. It was far too much for him. But I feel sure he did repent to God. I think if he had confessed publicly he would have been healed physically of what he was struggling with medically. Young men, learn to see yourself as God does. Then you will know this wasn't about you but about someone else. That's the key. It wasn't about you. And don't focus on all you lost because that isn't what God speaks to His children. He said, "I will turn EVERYTHING for YOUR good." We cannot loose in life if we know God's Word and believe His promises. They will work for YOU!

Not too sure if I heard about Eddie Long but when I watched Honk For Jesus last night I had a feeling it was based on a true story. This is crazy I feel bad for these victims

[@Atlboy1992]

Sad smh

[@jamicamonroe]

That's facts the movie blew me away I didn't know anything about this but it wasn't hard to put the pieces together

"What's done in the dark, will come to the light". How profound that Jamal spoke those words in light of what's happening to Eddie Long today, five years later.

I’m sending those brave young men all the blessings in the world. I’m so proud of you guys. I wish I could take away the pain bless you both.

Also, think about what it feels like to trust someone and find out that they were playing you. Even in everyday situations we don't like that. Now imagine someone is promising to step in the shoes of an absent parent and you find out they were grooming you and you were merely an open opportunity to them. That's the rejection from your absent parent resurfacing all over again. I'm glad the dude in the blue realizes that he will require counseling to move on, because he most certainly will. Even if he didn't penetrate one of these young men's bodies, he did spiritually rape them. God will deal with this situation accordingly. These dudes are hurting. Thank God, I have never experienced this, but I feel them. I really want to cry watching this.

Mane Stage it's real. They are telling the TRUTH.

[@tarahaithcoates3280]

Well said

[@amyevans1118]

Thank you for being brave and telling the truth. I hurt for you , my heart breaks over and over. Please write that book.

[@Blackblax]

Now that Eddie Long has passed, I hope these dudes are able to legally release a "tell all" book.

[@nxtchpforme9154]

What made them tell it??

[@Blackblax]

@@nxtchpforme9154 Being groomed as kids is probably the reason (& ironically, Eddie was "homophobic"). And maybe because they aren't being lavished w/ gifts & want $$$ for telling their story? 🤷‍♂️

[@ItsMeLalaBoo]

I just want to hug them both! 😢

[@vashawnwood3088]
