Comment: <The lawyer said her client still loves her husband but "she does feel it necessary to stop the domestic violence and go on with the divorce.">
WOW!! Is that an admission that this was not the first time that they have involved in an incident like this? <Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, the outspoken conservative minister and radio talk show host said, "Domestic violence is wrong whether the victim is a woman or man. Juanita Bynum, however, is not called by God and she's hardly the 'new face of domestic abuse. It's impossible for a God-fearing woman to exploit her marital problems for personal gain and publicity. There are two sides to every story and like too many domestic abuse cases the husband is being tried and convicted based on a one-sided account.">
Now see this statement I do sort of agree with. There is just too much left out of the initial story. Where is the truth? I guess we will never know. Only those who were at the restaurant when this all went on know what really happened cause JB and TW aren't talking.

Comment: I agree this Pastor Peterson should refrain from making negative comments. He's the one attempting to use the Bymun-Weeks incident to bring attention and make a name for himself. Who in the hell has heard of him? The incident itself is bad enough. Allow them to divorce and move on with their lives without crucifying them. If Bynum chooses to use her experience to start to a anti-domesetic violence ministry, so be it. Perhaps the new ministry can allow her to heal and get some peace.

Comment: I agree with the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson. She called herself prophetess and garnered a following - that's it. She can no more prophecy than I can fly and when she says she is the new face of domestic abuse, what is the woman/women that have been beat down since she took the camera and mic?! The beating may have been real but everything after that for this woman has been nothing more than one marketing strategy after another. It would behoove her if she took it all inside the confines of her close circle of friends and leave the domestic ministry to those more sincere. It's also time for her to give up that prophetess jazz too!

Comment: There are domestic violence ministries and organizations all over the USA - sorry, but, I don't buy Bynum's "new face of domestic abuse" claim like it's some new makeup line she is about to start selling - something just ain't right with this whole thing - there is definitely some missing pieces to this puzzle.

Comment: WENMICH...what do you mean when you say "no one has heard of him?" Not defending him but does popularity somehow determine the relevancy or validity of a person or minister's expressions? Again, not defending Peterson, but I have a problem with what you raise. It sounds like what they said about Jesus: "Who is this Negro?...

Comment: I agree that Bynum's exploitation of her marriage is shameful, but not surprising. She is unapologetically a public figure...I wouldn't be surprised if most of what she does is calculated for PR purposes--including probably her marriage to this Weeks character. That said, while he may have had valid points, don't think I will EVER co-sign the Tom, self-hating Jesse Lee Peterson (don't know about that reverend title he wears so proudly either). If people do their homework on this guy, they'll find he is an idiot in each and every sense of the word...

Comment: No matter which way it's sliced, although I don't particularly like Juanita Bynum, the bottom line is that she was a real victim of domestic violence. No one can take that experience away from her. She got beat, stomped, by her husband. It was embarrassing, humiliating and very painful -- physically and emotionally. Bynum is definitely qualified to use that experience for a higher purpose. I'm sure she didn't expect her husband to kick her asz in public. Even though I won't listen to her sermons, I don't believe her motive to create a domestic violence ministry was a selfish thought to make money. She will donate to help battered women, which is desperately needed in our society. Like any spiritual minded person, Bynum is thinking about taking a negative experience and sharing it to help others in a positive way. Lord knows we need all the domestic violence ministries we can get. Until men learn to keep aggressive hands off women, YOU could be next to get hit upside your head by your man. Let's not be fake here now. Just last night, I had to tell my bastard that he had better not agressively touch me again.

Comment: This was not the first time this man put his hands on Juanita and it wouldn't have been his last. I'm glad she has the strength and common sense to leave this fake man of God. Who are we to judge this woman's actions? Once a man you love has stomped you in your face in a parking lot, then you can offer your opinion on how and when this woman should heal.

Comment: WORD yes she was a victim of an %*$ kicking....by her husband....now, as a minister, I am not sure that their marriage was ordained by The God they say they serve......as ministers (a Prophetess and Bishop nonetheless) I am not sure that they were called by the TRUE AND LIVING CREATOR.....this scrutiny and added discussions they have brought upon themselves...and, in this day and age, it is much needed as there are many false prophets gone out into the world

Comment: WordUp, I agree with you and find nothing wrong with her starting a Domestic Violence ministry, though my intuition tells me her doing so is more to save face and bask more in her beloved spotlight than anything else...but that's understandable too. After all, are we not taught to turn our "lemons into lemonade?" My problem with her and why I wrote she was exploiting her marriage is the interviews, the press conferences, etc. How narcisstic to think you are that important to hold press conferences to tell folks your personal business! It's just tacky.

Bottom line, Juanita is trying to save her ministry and she's embarrassed because people know about Weeks' financial problems now.

Comment: Although I am a little bothered by what seems to be an advantageous move on Juanita's behalf, I can't deny her her right to choose NOT TO BE A VICTIM. That's a choice we all make when something bad happens to us. Personally, I don't like to sulk in pity and shame - Damn-it it happen now let's move on. That's how "I" do it. As for Bishop Weeks, he's out of control and my sympathy for him is conditional. He reportedly beat his female CFO in the church office in the same manner as he did Juanita 8 months ago in Duluth, Ga - but that information was suppressed by Juanita and congregants of their church. This is nothing but Karma, People. Yet, I do believe she should divorce him. He's crazy and needs help. Here's a thought... What if the bellhop never intervenee? Would we be eulogizing her right now? I, personally, don't care what Weeks has to say because there's is NO justification UNLESS she was trying to kill him. As for the pastor in this article - Brother, shut the hell up! Who are you to say who is called and who isn't?

Comment: I have to agree with Word on this one. For one, Word, I do hope that you are not in a violent relationship...Peace and safety to you. However, I have worked with women, men and children in DV households and I am certain that often times the victim does not warrant anything for the man or woman to hit them. I am especially certain that the victim does not name call as well because that would be serious grounds for an a.s.s whipping. It could be money, substance abuse, mental deficiences unbenoust to both parties or any number of triggers that could set the abuser into overdrive and upper cuts. According to statistics, in most cases of DV the victim does very little to provoke the violence. If the abuser is arguing for whatever reason, the victim can look away from the abuser, the victim can not answer the abuser for fear of being hit, the victim can answer the abuser when he says gressively "answer me" and she/he is liable to be physically attack. DV is an unfortunate situation especially when children are involved and we know that it can turn deadly as well. My hats off to JB in doing good for a bad situation. Isn't this how other domestic violence shelter's became non-profits?...by someone who experienced the assualt first hand? I'm all about doing the greatest good for the greates number of people even if there is a profit for the good deed.

Comment: I keep hearing the quote there is two sides to every story, I don't care how many sides there are, there is never any justification for a man to beat a woman down, whether her plans are sincere or not will only be judged by time but in my opinion if a man lifts his hand to attack me, that relationship is over. Sorry if a man can't control his anger and love me like he loves himself he has no business being with me. I don't tolerate aggressive or threatening behavior and bad mouthing or name calling, that is the precusor to more violence. Juanita told him that the well had run dry, he couldn't take the loss of all that wealth and celebrity so he decided to kick her azz, she is doing right to divorce his trifling azz.

Comment: This is just a big joke,the right thing for either one to do, is to step down for a while get themselves together, "Seek the true and living GOD"not the material Gods that they have acquired, and repent, both of them, and I say both...he did hit her , and he was very wrong for that, but if she PROVOKED him, she is just at fault as he is, I talk a lot of noise too, but if I run up in anyone's face talking noise, believe you me, I am prepared to issue a beatdown or get one, (I'm too old to do this anyway..) you cannot provoke people to anger, and the Bible does address this, but so many of us want to take different texts to uphold our point of view, but either way they were both wrong, if it happened that way.....but I still know that they both need to step aside and let God work this out...I am very dissapointed with this whole Dramedy playing out in the media, Why would she need to address the media about her divorce..Pluuuleze!!!I think Jaunita's vison was right when she started out, but it is all warped at this time...she keeps addressing this crap!!!!She is in it for the money obviously and now she is showing no shame...It is all so pathetic..I don't agree with Rev. Patterson, because I do not have an opinion about anyone's relationship with GOD, only they will know if they were really called or chosen no one can make that judgment call...

Comment: Let me also add this note, there are a lot of self-appointed prophets, prophetesses, bishops, archbishops and apostles, who ordained the majority these people is questionable. As a race of people (blacks) we are many times the most guillable, because the majority of people that attend church only use their Bibles are talismen and don't pick up the Bible until they go to church on Sunday, they mindlessly sit through service most never listening to the message but being caught up in the emotion, if you asked them to break down the minister's message they would be hard pressed to relate it to you.

Comment: While I believe anyone who has been a victim of domestic violence has a testimony, I feel that Prophetess should, for right now, be quiet and let God lead her direction. Sometimes we tend to speak before God has spoken to us, we react on emotions. She should take time to heal before speaking. I will just pray for her and others who have been victims of domestic violence.

Comment: I'm with you McNasty. Anything for a dollar and whats really sad is, a lot of women will really fall prey to her madness. I feel that God gave her a vision and she decided to do something else with it and now he's exposing her and him for the frauds they are. The new face of domestic violence???? Miss me with that one! The face of domestic violence won't ask for monetary donations but will be true and sincere and Juanita is not. Yes, she got her azz kicked but it hasn't sunk in she needs to lay low for a while... You would think that after all that happened, she would just take some time out but to jump right back in the spotlight with a new marketing plan lets us know what she's about. I do feel that he will come out on top financially because he doesn't have anything and she will end up paying out the azz...well, then again maybe not because they're not in California. I bet a million dollars she didn't have this guy sign a pre-nup.

Comment: >archcookies, its not just blacks who are guillable when it comes to religion. I think it goes back to the foundation of organized religion. Doing early christianity very few people could read; they were forced to take the priest at his word. That was basically the model for centuries. Most of our ideas about religion is basically dogma that has simply been passed down from one generation to the next. The question is how does the role of the priest or minister change in a literate society.

Comment: Domestic violence is a intolerable act that needs to be seriously addressed in our community. However, this Bynrum woman and Jesse 'self-hating' Patterson, are not the two folks who need to spread the word about domestic violence. These two are the worst kind of profiteers and con artists who play on the low self-esteem of black people under the guise of trying to 'lift them up'. People like this are very dangerous because 9 times out of 10, YT loves giving folks like this a platform to spew out their foolishness. Bynrum & Peterson are willing participants in promoting all kinds of buffoonery in the 'name of the lord'. The fact of the matter is now she's been exposed and this peterson fellow just wants a piece of the action. 21st century coonery if I ever saw it.

I think that if people would read the bible for themselves and do research for themselves then they would not be taken advantage of. I also think everyone should have a critical process when hearing and reading things. But alas alot of people are lazy and just want to accept what is told to them with no critical thinking whatsoever.

Comment: On January 17, 2006, Peterson was a party to the case Jesse Lee Peterson, et al., v. Jesse Jackson, et al. (BC 266505), in Los Angeles County Superior Court, after a ruling the previous week by Judge George H. Wu. Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against Jackson, his son Jonathan, and others on behalf of Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who was the alleged victim of a physical and verbal %*$ault at an event hosted by Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. in December 2001. On January 27, 2006, a Los Angeles jury rejected Peterson's claim that Jesse Jackson had threatened him at a business meeting four years ago. The jury also found Jonathan Jackson did not hit Peterson, but split evenly (six to six) on whether he threatened an %*$ault.
On September 21, 2005 Peterson penned a column for WorldNetDaily, in which he suggested that some of the African-American people stranded in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina were "welfare-pampered," "lazy" and "immoral." Peterson also criticized New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin for blaming President George W. Bush for his lack of response to the crisis, stating that "responsibility to perform legally and practically fell first on the Mayor of New Orleans." [3]
On 12 February 2006, Rev. Peterson appeared on a Paula Zahn NOW segment which was a follow up to a previous segment about atheists where the panel did not include any atheists. As part of a three person panel after an interview with Richard Dawkins, Rev. Peterson said that "atheists are hypocrites." Similar comments included that atheists impose their beliefs on Christians like homosexuals impose their lifestyle on heterosexuals.
On February 28, 2006, as a member of a student panel discussion at the University of California, Irvine on the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, Peterson stated that Islam was an "evil religion" and that "[extremist] Muslims hate America."[4] The event was sponsored by the United American Committee and College Republicans, and gained national attention for the controversy and confrontation associated with it.[5]
Peterson is also a member of Choose Black America, an organization of African Americans who oppose illegal immigration. [1]

Comment: >archcookies, I agree with anything that you said. People should definitely read and study for themselves. However, traditionally that wasn't possible so people have been conditioned to simply sit and listen or sit and react since as you pointed out some don't really listen. I think present day ministers should have a deep understanding of theology going beyond what is stated in the King James version of the Bible. They should understand how that particular version came to be or whatever version they are using and why? If all they are doing is reading straight from the bible I can do that for myself.

Comment: Some women will do anything, just to say they have a husband, I can't tell you how many times a married woman has tried to rub that in my face, because I am single, like I really care, that they 1)have a man at home, who would be waiting downstairs on payday, (this was before direct deposit)2)stay out all night, do not come home,3) try to pass it off like all your kids were all of his also,4) wearing run over shoes, but bragging about how good your husband is to you,.. My husband this and my husband that, but you were the quietest one on the job, because you know you would get a beatdown if you got fired or quit...so I say this to say, appearances are deceiving and sometimes we run into something that we cannot handle and is most likely above our heads because we want it so bad and right now....Juanita you too!!!Marrying that man and he was not even divorced from his first wifey.. tsk, tsk....Bishop watch where your hands land, you gon wake up in Glory, when you lay your hands on the one wrong person.....How you doin?

Comment: Rev.Jesse Lee Peterson is an A$$ for someone to say something like that is wrong. Now true I believe that everyone that is in the ministry was not "called by God" but I don't feel as though she is exploiting her maritial problems. Before this incident the public did not know of the problems among them. I think for some one to say she is disregarding is absolutly crazy.... what is she suppose to do sit there and take someone slapping her around & then put on extra foundation to cover up the marks? She should get out of her marriage... As I said before whether man or woman no one deserves to be abused.

Although a lot of our ancestors were denied legal work, when they go outside of the mainstream and begin making money from running numbers to pimpin' to drug dealin' i guess some people think that they are heroes of some sort.Even after all this time.Even if it is the 21st century and other opportunities are at our beck and call than ever. I guess for a lot of us,money,no matter how it's earned,justifies everything. Question: If this opportunist-Uhh, i mean Prophetess,was well- a prophetess, how come she didn't see a beatdown in an ATL parking lot coming? This sh!t is as amusing as a combination talk show, one of those bad "hood" books and a soap opera!

Yeah, we study to show ourselves approved but God also calls many and choses a few of these people to help us and lead usi our daily walk.

So when did the admiration for the pimp as exploiter of Black women happen? I understand the number running thing which probably started in Harlem during what the 1940s or earlier? I know that pimpin' was around then but I just dont think we admired it. I think it was during the 70s with the films that it became "cool."

I know a young women right now working on her Ph.D and she is the face of dv. I counseled a young preacher here in the SAV and he was the face of dv. His wife was a beast true to form, mean and surly and she would beat his tale down to nothing. This guy was much larger than she...picture this an elephant and a mouse. This man would never put his hands on her, never...and he finally divorced her and received custody of the children, alimony and child support. He was the face of dv. No one is immune from domestic violence. It does not matter what your profession is, color,life sytle, wealth, poor or whatever. That thang is real and it happens to real people every day. I think if we would get pass the "profit mentality" that some say she will acquire we can truly see the blessing behind the curse.

Comment: dede>>> I agree with you black women are always classified as angry, when white women are considered as docile or timid. I think that with us (black women) we are more verbal and alot of us don't take $hit... (if we don't like something we will let you know it.) That's why we are considered angry. With white women (from observing at working and being around them) I notice that alot of them cry ALOT when they don't get their way (Now I am not saying all of them), we (black women0 don't do that. Throughout time we (black women) have had to prove ourselves whether it be worthy of a job or relationship. We have been taken advantage of whether it be our jobs, our homes, our feeling, or emotions; and when we lash out because we feel as though we are being used we get the "she crazy... she wild... card" When really we just don't like being taken advantage of.

Comment: Khufu>>>dv existed before JB and I absolutely continue to this day to speak out against it. "But What about the Victim" sticker is on my bumper. I am very vocal about dv. I sit on coalitions and a few boards about dv. I speak to the youth in their community groups about dv and dating. What was more disturbing to me was the men exhibit the same verbal behaviors as the women. "She loves me that's why she hits me", "she won't do it again", "it was my fault". Victims are constantly walking on egg shells and we all know that is impossible to do. DV exist now and it will continue to exit if we do not educate our people meaning all people. I have witnessed abusers who seek out for help and turn themselves around and discovered where their abusive behaviors began. During all of this violence the children are not so resilient and they are the ones that either will become abusers or become victims of abuse. I can only imagine what kind of household the Biship and Weeks was nurtured in.

Comment: Not defending Juanita Bynum at all but perhaps she means the new 'face' of domestic violence because her plight truly proves domestic violence can happen to anyone. Although many don't believe her to be a true minister, many do believe so I would imagine that for some people the fact that a woman of GOD, who is supposed to be prosperous, have a wonderful marriage by nature of faith etc. could get beat down like any other woman on this planet would give them pause more so than any other situation of domestic violence. Many people still believe that there are 'reasons' for a woman to be beat but a man, and it has to be reiterated to everyone, that there is never a reason, if it is that serious walk away. Juanita being loud, angry or whatever the heck else or acting like a 'dude' has no bearing on her situation, her husband knew she was not a dude, he no doubt knew her personality before they got married especially since GOD told him to marry her according to him so again there was no reason to hit her. Wordup> I hope your situation works out favorably for all involved.

If someone that is going to speak out against violence and at the same time help others.....the bigger message here is this women is a prophetess...ok, ok whatever that means...by all means I don't know the woman nor do I care for organized religion...but for those who do follow her words...just think what impact she will make on men, women and children who are experiencing the same violence as she did...in my eyes that is a powerful message: "if the preacher was abused and she left her husband I can do the same also"...strongest uplifting message I can think...and that is where the education comes into play. I can't think of a finer example to put the dv message out there for those weak minded individuals who truly believe that the lord sent them their abusive husbands and abusive wives to cause them bodily harm and possible death.

Something happened for the shepards to loose control of their sheep and somehthing happened that caused those ones to be "called upon" to loose faith and to stop fearing god. What happened?

Comment: Actually there are two points here that actually should be seperate arguments. Whether or not she or any other person who sets themselves up as a Prophet, Pastor, Bishop is actually truly of God and whether Juanita qualifies as an abuse victim and if she does should she profit from it. Well, her profitability would be based on the needs of others, are they willing to buy her story or listen to her wisdom yet again? She is no better or no worse than any other person who has tries to benefit from their own trials and tribulations, heck what is an autobiography but someone trying to profit on the events of their lives. Don't we normally try to take the lemons to lemonade road, or should she just wallow in the sourness? As far as if she's qualified/Annointed to lead people, I can not say, that would be up to the individual and how and what they believe.

If someone has been a victim, doesn't he or she needs to heel first before they are in a position to help others. So maybe if she had dissappeared for a while and then resurfaces after she had worked on herself people would have a different reaction. Its like someone putting down the crack pipe one week and opening up a rehab center the next. People would wonder has the person really worked on themselves enough.

Comment: Sorry, i bounced off to lunch. Actually the numbers game began around the pre-Depression era, 1920's .A lot of illegal things began for us at that time, in the early 20th century b/c slavery and the reconstruction era was over and no one questioned Black people walking aound in the North. It's my understanding that pimpin' actually began in Memphis.As for the bootleg preacher? That's a hard one to narrow down. For us the standards of education back then were QUITE different. Remember, people were considered educated if they could read the English language and speak with proper grammer. Never mind if they could still speak their native tongue. So the bootleg has been around for quite a bit of time. These days, they can know the Bible, have charisma,orally gifted and LOOK the part.They are like the yt boys who come into our communities to do business or play the hood role...If they look the part and present themslves well, no one ever questions their credentials.Charlatans have been around since the dawn of time.

Comment: Khufu,there are a number of reasons why the bootleg gained( and i hate to use this word) reverence. In a society where a Blackman's role was severely limited, a question of survival and never forget, despite our problems we're still human, so the good ol' ego would motivate a lot of people to do what they think is the most sureshot way to be successful and important. Remember, for a long time the most political figures in our communities were preachers. It still holds some sway today(Jackson, Sharpton). It's a cycle that our community doesn't want to break. My observation in this particular situation is that any man or woman of the cloth is SUPPOSED to be humble.Even with all of the events going on, if this woman is getting a divorce, shouldn't she do so with quiet dignity? After all, she's supposed to be a preacher.Get it?! A preacher getting divorced?!?!? Marriage is supposed to last forver and if she was married to another pastor then surely they are supposed to be a shining example of how to conduct yourselves and maintain. Instead, not only are they in physical altercations, they are getting a divorce and due to their publicists, it's a 3 ring circus for all the world to see. It is no wonder that today's youth don't believe in anything. All of today's so-called christian heroes have feet of clay.

Comment: Debonair - you make a good point about the preachers. There is to be a certain standard that it upheld. The fact that this man has put his hands on her, and allegedly been doing it all along, is reason enough for them to seek help. The problem I have with their situation is the need to tell the public everything about it. I know the incident happened in a public setting but issue a statement about it and be done with. All these press conferences and many statements aren't necessary. As a man and woman of God address it with some dignity. It's an embarrassment to the body of Christ and to God. As leaders in the Christian community, they aren't immuned to personal conflict and problems but addressing the issues in the public is downright ridiculous. Those who have the gift of prophecy have to walk in truth. If you are supposed to prophesy the Word of God as He as told you then you have to be careful how you live your life. There really is no room for compromise. I am under the impression that all this public display is leading to personal gain and there seems to be no contrition whatsoever. At least the husband seems to be quiet. This woman appears to be on a mission. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HER SOUL!!!!

Comment: Whether she was "called by God" or not, I personally see nothing wrong with her wanting to call herself the "new face of domestic violence". Only people with religious spirits will try to tear her down. If she writes another book, so what? If it was Oprah getting her azz beat and dedicated an entire show to it, people would tune in to watch just because it's Oprah. Is she looking for personal gain? If there is such a being as "God", he doesn't need any bodyguards or people worried about Him being exploited. If this situation cause just one woman to reconsider her abusive relationship, then a life is changed and "God" still gets the glory. Church people think everything is for and about them! Get over yourselves! Everything doesn't need your stamp of approval!

I'm not a Juanita Bynum fan or "disciple", but I am not about to jump on her for deciding to take this experience and use it to help others. And IF her motives are suspect, SO WHAT? She was a victim of domestic violence and no matter what the reason, she has decided that it must end now. And if her speaking out and starting a ministry will help other women who get thieir azzez beat by punk baztards (YEAH, I SAID IT!!!! A man who beats on women IS a punk-azz bazturd) to leave their abusers and seek help, then SO BE IT. I'm all for it. Juanita is in a no-win situation. If she were to stay with this fool and/or go somewhere and sit down, there would be folks complaining that she's "playing the victim" or "not setting a good example for women who are abused" or some other nonsense. But now that she's trying to move on and use this experience to do that, she's being raked over the coals. Sometimes what the devil means for evil, God can use it for good. Even IF Juanita isn't totally sincere in her new endeavor (which none of us REALLY knows), it doesn't matter. God can use her and what happened to her to help other women. And this Rev. Jesse Peterson character has alot of nerve, calling Juanita angry, bitter, and out of control. Excuse me, but I beleive it was Bishiop Weak (I mean ...Weeks) who beat, stomped and choked Juanita. If that is not "angry, bitter and out of control" behavior, then I don't know what is. I bet the right Rev. Peterson will sing a different tune if it was his daughter who got beat up by some demented fool. He better not be one of those punk-azz bazturds who beats his wife, because it will come out too.

Comment: As I do not advocate domestic violence whether at the hands of a man, woman or child. I pray to God that this woman who proclaims to be speaking on behalf of God and doing the work of God will not be an advocate for divorce under the disguise of being an advocate for domestic violence. If she would marry her husband twice, why not stay in this marriage,get counseling and allow God to work it out then be an advocate for successful marriages instead? The divorce isn't even in front of a judge yet and she is already on a new campaign? I did not follow her ministry, but I did think that she was authentic until this happened. Judgement begins at the church. That is the Word of God. God will always expose false prophets after He has given them enough times and opportunities to get their act together. These recent events has caused me to seek out God for myself on a more personal level. God knows the truth about Himself and He has given us His Spirit to guide us into all truths. Read a book called "Divine Revelation of Hell" there is a chapter in their where preachers who went to hell were tormented by the ones they lead to hell. I am not saying that she is going to hell - only God can judge that, but I am saying KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF!!!

Comment: Leeneepoo> Exactly.It's the same thing here. If you want to join certain churches, they want your paystub so that they can figure out what you make annually so that you can pay a set amount everytime the plate gpes around. And guess what? if you don't show up that Sunday, they come looking for you or you have to kick out whatever your balance is when you do return. Now, some people would rationlize that if you have a bright, new shiny church it's only fair to help pay for the expenses. But personally, i don't think the Most High cares about how high your temple reaches the heavens, as long as your heart is sincere. He doesn't care how nice and expensive your clothes are as long as you show up. All of that is man made elements and again has nothing to do with worship. Just like there is a board. Why all of these self proclaimed positions? People are duped and do not know the difference between serving God and serving the CHURCH. And that goes for any religion.

Comment: Again, why is the focus solely on Juanita? I'm not a supported of her, or any religous leader for that matter as I admittedly despise the Church. But the bottom line is a MAN stomped, kicked, and choked a WOMAN. Titles and relgious beliefs do not excuse that fact. And I saw the video of the 2 women, who along with Bynum, talked another woman out of reporting an earlier %*$ault. It only means 2 things: 1) This punk definitely has a history of hitting women and needs a man to beat his azz one good time. 2) Bynum had to reap what she sowed in that she turned a blind eye to the misdeeds of her husband, probably to save his reputation at the time. It had to "hit" home.

Comment: NJBLKGUY- AT the beginning of my post I stated that I was not a fan or disciple of Bynum. As far as Bynum advising the woman not to report the abuse, that happened BEFORE Bynum received her public beat down. (If Bynum was married to Weeks at that time, she was probably getting beat up behind closed doors too, and stayed for the very same reasons she was advising that woman to stay with her abuser.) But getting your azz kicked in public, so that EVERYONE knows it, will change your perspective. That may have been Bynum's wake-up call. I'm sure she will not be giving insipid advice like that anymore.

He did so because he wanted to melt down the gold to form a crucifix to wear around his neck and for his wife to have matchin gold earrings. He told them that because of his love for them, he wanted to always be reminded of them wherever he went. Shockingly, a majority of the members drop there jewels off into a tiny little bucket during offering. I have friends who gave. Do I think they're all dumb people? Absolutely not. Brainwashed? Yes.

I guess it is ok to treat a woman like dirt AFTER you get married, as long as you put the ring on her finger. When he stays out all night, his mother tell my sister "You're the one with the ring." Her husband is the same way. Last year, they had to get money from the church to keep the utilities on and they are both in their sixties.

The boyfriend was dragging the young lady in the grass by her hair!! A female neighbor ran outside and jumped on his back and started punching him upside the head. The victim was able to get to her feet, and together, the two of them beat his %*$. The only detail my punk azz friend could point out was that the girl was overweight, but the guy looked like he worked out all the time. The friend that came to her resuce was also overweight. He couldn't figure out why the dude would want a fat girl anyway. WTF?!!! A man is beating a woman outside at 6AM and your punk %*$.looking out the window laughing?! So you see why it may take a public figure to speak out on the issue because regular folks just don't care.

Comment: Angel> I agree, no matter what the reason is, no one has the RIGHT to put their hands on you in any way. That's just like asking a rape victim... "When the guy spotted you did you have on provocative clothing? You know... something that would lure him toward you and make him put a gun to you head and sexually assult you. You must have been asking for it because you were wearing a pair of tight jeans" C'mon that's ridiculous... Alot of times we as people don't let things rest.. in other words she (Juanita) may have felt as though her husband was not listening to her; so she decided to try and make him listen to her and followed him. Everyone one of us is probably guilty of trying to do the same thing (especially if we lovethe person. So you can't really question her, did she deserve it, or why she folloed him. Whether a preacher or false disiciple.. does it really matter? she a human being... and nobody deserves to get beat down.

Comment: WorpUp/Gingerg - A good friend of mine who filed for divorce recently after only a few months of marriage just told me last week that her "perfect mate" went straight Ike Turner on her azz on the honeymoon. He CLAIMS she was flirting with the waiter at dinner, so he socked her in the eye when she told him to quit talking crazy. You never know what's going on with folks behind closed doors because they seemed perfect together. She came home early from the honeymoon claiming she was sick (little did we know she was sick of him), but I knew something was up because ol' boy stayed in Jamaica the rest of the week.

Comment: I agree Gulfrand:There are domestic violence ministries and organizations all over the USA - sorry, but, I don't buy Bynum's "new face of domestic abuse" claim like it's some new makeup line she is about to start selling - something just ain't right with this whole thing - there is definitely some missing pieces to this puzzle.
You know I was really praying that Juanita being a self proclaimed prophet would try to work things out w/her husband. I understand Bishop weeks actions were wrong...let them separate for awhile, let him get help. Is Christianity based on the Bible? What about Divorce...she doesn't have grounds? What about forgiveness? No...before some of you comment....no she doesn't need to let him beat her but come on...what is the real motive of this divorce? Why does she have to explain to the media..her plans, and actions. Seem like marketing for her next BIG CONFERENCE TO ME. You know I haven't experience physical abuse...but right now I am a Believer of Christ and I am married. I have been called every name that you probably can think of and plus some. This is from a man that is suppose to be a so-called Man of God. See I believe the Church does need to Teach about these issues and not always sweep them under the carpet. Not everything needs to be handle in the public as well...yes somethings do need to be exposed! As Bishop Weeks was but I don't Divorce is the solution or a promotion of her next big hype! I use to be a fan I still think Juanita has a call of ministry but I think she has been consumed by the Glamour of over exposure in the Ministry part of the Who's Who's Club! She has lost her true calling and focus. She claims she will be the new face of Domestic Violence...why does she continue to Promote herself. GOD IS SUPPOSE TO GET ALL THE GLORY NOT MAN. Now what she should have done as a true Woman of GOD was to keep her plans and her marriage problems private. She what happen was exposed but she didn't have to continue this media exploitation. She could have kept their future private. She should have prayed ....truly prayed because I know GOD DIDN'T TELL HER TO DIVORCE HER HUSBAND! DID SHE FAST AND PRAY...OR DID SHE DECIDE THIS ON HER OWN...FLESH! She needs to remember what the bible says about how many times we are suppose to forgive our brother? Know I am not saying be foolish..she could have separated for a season...until he got his self some help and stay on the Altar until he was free. Yes I am a woman...and I don't see Juanita as submissive I see her a loud...not BOLD...LOUDNESS IS NOT BEING COURAGEOUS OR BEING BOLD FOR THE LORD! I will continue to pray for them both...I hope she stops this divorce and this private matter in prayer...instead of acting like the Circular world movie stars do! Get in behind the Veil and Pray as you always say to do Juanita! Yes I do love you but I think you need to get somethings together as well as your husband!

Comment: Closet_Nerd_Girl, it got even funnier. My friend said when the police came, the girl told them he had been staying out all night for weeks so she decided to teach him a lesson by doing the same thing. Apparently he decided to call home this time and she wasn't there. When he decided to show up at 5:30am, he came in jumping on her, demanding to know where the F she had been. At that time of morning, why wasn't his azz heading to work?

Comment: >musb, A woman who would come at a man like a man is straight up crazy. She has issues. But she is still a woman and it still is not alright to hit her. A man would simply walk away and leave that chick alone. Now of course, if she attacks him then he can defend himself, by restraining her. He is still not supposed to beat her. If a man gets to the point where he thinks he wants to hit the woman he is with, he needs check himself. Or if she is crazy, then just leave her.

Comment: I'm not a Juanita Bynum fan. BUT, I don't think that it's necessarily wrong for her to prophet... I mean profit from her domestic violence situation. The problem that I believe people are having but not expressing is that she is expressing that she intends to be the new face of domestic violence SO SOON. The event has barely been a couple weeks. That's the real problem to me. It's not a question of whether she is entitled to speak on the issue and "be the face of domestic violence." It's a question of AUTHENTICITY or the lack thereof. Before she comes to the public with the next "revelation" about domestic violence I'd like to know that she has first been healed. But to start planning a new "ministry" before you've had a chance to heal speaks of "self serving" and not "serving others" (true ministry).

Comment: Closet Nerd Girl>> while yes I am a woman, and I do agree with you.. Musb> did hit the nail on the head. I am not an advocate of abuse, but just like I've said before NO ONE deserve to be hit. And you can't expect a male to be abused and just walk away. I've known my husband for 8 years but have only been married for 7 months. When he and I first met he was in an abusive relationship with his daughters mother. I honestly believe that she was bipolar and she had awful mood swings. I've seen him hit him in the eye, I've seen him get punched in the gut and this went on for years and he stayed because she would threaten him with his daughters (one of them he found out was not even his); finally he got fed up and pushed her... she called the police and they locked him up. Although he had bruises, lumps and pictures to prove it they wanted to press charges against him because he pushed her... Now I am not saying that he was right BUT it comes to a point that a person gets fed up with BULL$HIT and he is SO better then me because the first time she would have put her hands on me would have been the last time.. cause I would have beat her a$$ and then left! Call me a bad person... I don't care.. it is what it is!And he has NEVER laid a hand on me...

I have an aunt who has been in a similar situation for over 40 years and a sister who has been in one for over 10 years. Their physical/mental health and financial well-being suffer, but they are so content with being a wife that they can't see hte forrest for the trees. Both are "ministers" and I've lost a lot of respect for them because they have no backbone.

Comment: >mrsoliver, I think it's terrible what your husband endured, but just like he decided to stay and take the abuse, he could have left. He ended up leaving anyway after he fought back. He could have left earlier and saved himself the drama. But then again, he may have stayed for some of the same reasons women stay in abusive relationships. At any rate, do you think it was good for his daughters to see how their mother abused him? Do you think it would have been good for his daughters to see him beat their mother up had he chose to do that? He actually did the right thing by not hitting her and proved my point. He showed his daughters how a real man is supposed to treat a woman, even when that woman is crazy. When he did fight back it was to defend himself, and he was within his rights to do that. It's a shame the police didn't see it that way, but that's because his crazy baby mama is crazy like a fox- she knew how to use the system against him. I'm glad he's out of that situation now, and I hope that silly woman got some help. And I hope his daughters (well, daugher) is not permanently damaged by the craziness she witnessed from the mother.

Comment: gingerg: I used to be an avid supporter of the church. I was in service everytime the doors opened, and I was the choir director. Unfortunately, I got hooked up with a young man who called himself a prophet, and had the sanction of our pastor. When we met, he told me "God" sent him to be a friend in my life because I was surrounded by walls and needed to knock them down. I ended up in an off and on relationship with him that last 9 months. He never put his hands on me, but he played lots of mind games. 1 week he wanted to be with me, the next week, "God was dealing with him". He grew up in church, so he knew how to play those "I was convicted by the Holy Ghost" games, whereas I was already grown when I decided to try religion. My parents always said there were more devils in the church than outside. Eventually, it came out that he was playing the same game with several other young ladies (& men) in the church. He had a reputation for the same behavior at his last church. Of course once the story got out, he tried to blame everything on me. He held an office in the church. When I went to the pastor about the issue, I was told that he was more valuable to ministry than I was because of the title his title, and that I should just pray. The so-call prayer warriors I went to asking for help only spread the gossip. I decided then that church and God were not the same thing. I walked away and never looked back. You see, I know first-hand that religion kills, and church folk use every loophole to protect themselves and their own. It's never about the victim. It's all about protecting the image of the church.

WOnly a fool or someone who is a hypocrite would not understand this: HE WAS WRONG FOR BEATING HER AZZ...HOWEVER WHEN SHE MAD THE FREE WILL CHOICE TO GO AFTER HIM---SHE WAS WRONG IN HER CHOICE AND IF SHE HAD PRAYED AT THAT MOMENT RIGHT BEFORE THE CHOICE WAS MADE--A DIFFERENT OUTCOME WOULD HAVE OCCURRED......Now what is so hard to understand about that?

Comment: Juanita is a nationally known televangelist, exactly how quiet can she keep a public azz whooping so vile and violent by her husband a "bishop" private. And since she hasn't started her domestic violence ministry I'm amused how everyone thinks she going to so-call profit of it. Juanita is not the same person, and even though I am dispointed in how she was first warned about a voilent attack by someone who worked for her husband and tried to cover it up to protect his reputation (and her's too) that was God giving her a sign, and she ignored and another woman suffered for it, the way she is now suffering. My uderstanding is that Oprah "invited" Juanita to her bash for Obama, I don't know who would turn that down regardless of personal situations, as to how they treated her, with open arms I'm sure. Those women of color have all been through abuse, including Oprah herself. Weeks needs to go to prison, he has truly lost his mind beating up women, misusing church funds. He is weak and pitiful and hopefuly will get his in the end.

Comment: I do not have an issue with JB saying that she is now a face of domestic violence because her husband did hit her, but I have a problem not knowing if it was because TW was walking away from her trying in an earnest attempt to not get into and altercation with her and she being a woman that probably wouldn't shut up and wanted the last word kept coming till she got popped and now she is the victim. She is no more the face of domestic violence than any other woman who it has happened to, the difference here is JB's name alone WILL put a face on domestic violence. I just hope that if she is making this a vehicle for herself that she wears this mantle well cause I would hate for her to whipped again. Only this time she won't have anyone to blame for that whipping but herself cause God will give her that beating and it will be VERY PUBLIC for all to see.
