Bishop Eddie Long and Creflo Dollar: the New Dynamic Duo

I am not sure what Creflo Dollar is selling, but I am not buying. This is so predictable that he would find some way to find a scripture to make this right or ok. Bishop Long,(should we even still call him Bishop?), did not do what he said he was going to do and that was fight. He said he was innocent of any wrong doing. He said his name would be cleared. I wonder if he thought that settling this case would make it all go away. Well not for me. It has only brought up more questions. Now to have the nerve to be talking about expanding into Alabama and Colorado. Really??? I know that one indiscretion should not discount a man's entire body of work. However in this case, it may be warrented.

Atlanta mega-church pastor Eddie Long has privately resolved a lawsuit that he had previously sworn to fight like David fought Goliath, so he is free to move forward with plans to expand his once profitable ministry. Should he be let off the hook?

Despite rumblings that his New Birth church is falling fast, Long, who settled out of court last month with several young men who say he took sexual advantage of them, has announced plans to open up two satellite churches and called on financially able parishioners to make donations from $500 to $1,000 as seed money for the new branches. He assured followers that a certified audit was done and that, "All of your money's being done right and being calculated right."

While that audit might settle the concerns of some of his churchgoers, many others have more pressing worries about the pastor and his church. In a recent sermon, Long's friend Creflo Dollar (a pastor himself) recently had some words for those parishioners who haven't stuck by the scandal-plagued Long.

Dollar lectured, "When you have a wreck, you expect God to forgive you and everybody else. Don't let the preacher have a wreck now. Then you become self-righteous and judgmental, and you gon' leave him for his wreck when you done had more wrecks."
