Juanita Bynum attacked - Bishop Thomas Weeks - updated 9/26/07

I never heard of Juanita Bynum till today - she was below my radar - so I read about Juanita Bynum on Answers.com to find out what her story is - what fundamentally defines Juanita Bynum and why she was attacked by her estranged husband Bishop Thomas Weeks and what light Web Analytics might shed on what audience segments her movement attracts.

Updated - New  - 9/26/07 - Juanita Bynum discusses publicly on ABC's Good Morning America and I think it clarifies what happened, somewhat, between Juanita Bynum and the Bishop Thomas Weeks.

I try to stay away from sensationalistic stories like this one, but from the standpoint of Web Analytics, i wanted to explore it and show solidarity with some of my fellow Know More Media authors who decided to write about Juanita Bynum today...but normally I would not have written about Juanita Bynum since it's totally out of sync with what I write about normally which is Web Analytics; though, I do write about Buzz from time to time.

According to Answers.com listing on Juanita Bynum

"....In a time when sexuality permeates the culture, there is a woman who encourages women to find closure for previous relationships, live chaste, and be the kind of people they hope to attract. Using her own mistakes as a basis for her sermons, prophetess Juanita Bynum has dedicated herself to reaching others with a message from God, a message that offers healing and encouragement through suggesting celibacy for singles. Treading on territory where few women have ventured, Bynum has allowed herself to be God's vessel, telling her colorful story to the masses, in hopes of saving souls from following the same dark paths she once walked."

According to Tmz.com, Juanita Bynum was attacked at 4:00 AM in an Atlanta airport hotel parking lot -- by her estranged husband, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III.  The Newsday story about Televangelist Bynum recovering after attack is much more descriptive, but I'll leave that out of this post.

"...Bynum, who often refers to herself as a "prophetess," preaches at New Greater Bethel Ministries in Queens Village."

Actually, Queens Village is not far from where I live, in Brooklyn...small world.  I just wonder what exactly happened that would drive the estranged Bishop husband Thomas Weeks to attack Juanita Bynum?  What did they say to each other that set him off?  Or was he a ticking time bomb waiting to explode?

In Juanita Bynum Assaulted by Thomas Weeks in Parking Lot Know More Media author Dan Smith, where Smith brings up an interesting point:

"...By the way, alert to all celebrities: nothing good ever happens after midnight! At least, that's what my youth leaders always told me."

The Juanita Bynum attack happened at 4 AM. 

Meanwhile Juanita Bynum, Christian Celebrities, and Personal Tragedies by (a blogger whose posts I often read) questions the way preachers become celebrities and how that interferes with "the message":

"...is whether the way Christianity, in some circles, has turned into PR machines and marketing strategies, is good for the overall perception of believers?

While I understand anybody trying to get a message heard needs to somehow break through the noise, entering into the ways businesses do it seems a little off to me.

Most of the Bible and past Christianity has focused a lot more on the message and Christ Himself, not propping up and creating preacher-celebrities.

Ok, so who's looking for Juanita Bynum?  According to Microsoft AdLabs

Makes sense.

Yet the visitors to her site, juanitabynum.com are not matching up that well - meaning there's a mismatch:

Query: juanitabynum.com

:0.36 :0.64Age: 35~49 Oriented with following distribution:

It seems to me her website is drawing an older, more mixed audience than her brand (name).

As far as what happened to her, and now she's come out on "juanita bynum on good morning america" - it's sad to see when couples can't work out their differences, but it gets harder to accept when it's a minister, the estranged husband, Bishop Bishop Thomas Weeks beating his wife, Juanita Bynum.

As we ALL know, there are two sides to EVERY story. I want to hear the Bishops side!

It does not matter who did what, Juanita B,Weeks and her husband are being attacked by the devil and instead of everyone talking about it, we need to be interceding for them. It is clear to me that the devil is attacking marriages especially the marriages of gifted christians. As a child of God and an intercessor, I will be praying that this situation is resolved and the Weeks have the victory, in the name of Jesus. Min. J. Johnson

Finally someone one talking the real deal. The devil is a liar and they are in my prayers. I was waiting to hear someone say this all day. We in Christ know that for certain once you are a child of God you are subject to such attacks BUT we are Conquerers in Christ and guaranteed Victory in Jesus. We need to all let the devil know we are on to him and that his plan will be spoiled in Jesus name. Amen.

Never before has it been more important for us to show a gentle, Christlike spirit to the world. A gentle spirit that stands in stark contrast to those who in the name of their faith fly airplanes into buildings full of people and kill innocent men, women and children. A gentle manner that will also stand in stark contrast to those people who in the name of Jesus hold picket signs outside the funerals that say "God Hates Gays."

The Apostle Paul was certainly no wimp when it came to standing up for his faith. He endured much pain, suffering and persecution for following Jesus. Once a mob stoned him and dumped him outside town, leaving him for dead. Paul came to and immediately headed back into town to again stand up for Jesus.

It is this same bold, courageous, fearless warrior for the gospel who tells us that our gentleness should be evident to all because the Lord's coming is near.

Jesus is coming. Be gentle. Be loving. In other words, be like Him.

I took prayed for the couple when I read what had happened - it overwhelmed my heart because I too know all too personally that the enemy is attacking marriages (especially Christian marriages). His aim is to discredit our God by discrediting us. I will be praying for them and other married couples as well.

God bless those who will also pray instead merely talk about what has happened.

Dear Bishop and Prophetess Week i know this is the devil he knows that his time is runing out and we h that love the Lord has to stick with each just rest in Jesus that wrong people need somebody to i love you both and praying for you that this to shall past and this will not chang the way i feel about we that are Born Again believers will he you get through this forgive each other and put it under the blood and the only one goes under the BLOOD and pull up your sin and my sin is the DEVIL he is a liar.

I am very sad to hear this, much as I will be praying for her. I dont know what happened, but there is no excuse for a husband to beat your wife let alone a bishop.It is sad to get any examples in our day, so Ihave gone back to learn from God's men who lived in the 16, 17, 18,and 19 century.
The church worldwide started to suffer when the focus was changed to ourselves rather than Christ. We are all to blame.Warning signs might have being on the wall, but where are the fathers who will correct and guide.
They are disregarded and not appreciated as it should be.Oh Lord raise up those who will mentor preachers that when they are going astry they can shout!!! and not fear.

Give me a break...yes we should pray for them, but as for these people being true Christians? yeah right! people need to read their bible only then they'll learn to discern false teachers from the real bible teachers. Is this how a man of God should behave? What does the bible say about what we should expect from Christian leaders? Just questions for you to ponder.

Ministers (Bishops, pastors, evangelist, teachers, etc.) are not infallible, they are subject to error just like anyone else - that's why God has left open the door of repentance - God forgives and forgets, let us of the faith do the same as our Father God. Pray his will in the Thomas & Juanita lives. The adversary is out to destroy whoever he can, let us be on our guard watch. “If a brother is overtaken in fault, ye which are spiritual, restore him”

As the other commentors have explained above, the devil will do anything and use anyone to discredit the work of God. The madia is now calling her a fake prophet. We make pastors, actors, and other successful people out of God's, but we fail to realize that we are still HUMAN! No of us can say today FOR SURE that one of our loved one will DEFINITELY not do anything to embarass or caused our family harm or defamation. Instead of the "UH HUH LOOK AT THT ME", where is our hearts? This is a woman firt, before a minister, who was attacked her husband. Matters of the hearts can be loving and sometimes uncanning. With our "painted" picture perfect smiles that we wear before others, while tears drip on the inside, I say Let he who have not sinned cast the first stone! We fight not against flesh and blood, but against spirits. THe Devil's job is turn people away and while he has caused an uproar among believers and non-believers, he must remember that "What the devil meant for evil! GOd meant for God! Sometimes vessels of GOd have to endure greata suffering to bring healing and salvation to the world! Bynum's setbook is preparing her for a victorious comeback! Just watch and SEE! Think about the all the women who suffer silently this way in marriages. They will come forth and seek healing. Thomas Weeks, III, who said he will turn himself in says he is extremely sorry and loves his wife. Now that this is exposed, this will bring about discussions on the effects of spousal abuse.

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR.

IT SHALL BE WELL

If we who are prophetic we hear the loud cry and go into prayer/fasting.....the devil has tried to shout the mouth of a prophetess,for whatever the reason..this is a blow to the kingdom.My prayers are with them both , and we as children of GOD must protect the kingdom at ALL COST.SO LET US CONT' TO LIFTED UP THE PRAYERS OF ALL THE CHILDREN OF GOD,LESS WE OURSELVES FALL SHORT.

They are not being attacked by the DEVIL! This is a case of humans who have been elevated and cannot cope with the pressure. This is EXACTLY why God sent his Son, and left his Word for us! The Christian church too many times makes excuses for the failings of the "telecelebrity", exactly like the World does for the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton! We were intended to find Christ, not a man (or woman) in the pulpit! Find Christ, do not make Christ out of a man or woman.


Please, just pray for these folks. Satan in on the 'warpath", and that includes the "church". Thats is why, we must keep our faith anchored in the "cross', Forget about "self " or "flesh". because ,once that replaces the "cross' , one is in big trouble. Its an open invitation for Satan to step in. Look to the 'cross" and keeping doing so , daily, if you are to survive.

to the woman and man of God I have faith in the both of you all. We must remember that we as christians are not Perfect nor are we God , as long as we are in this body we will make mistakes. but the word of the Lord says if we confess or sins he is faithful and just to give us of them. let the Lord be the Judge. the word of God says Judge Not for with the same measures you shall be Judge. There is only one Judge and that is God the father through his son Jesus Christ. Who died and rose and again a man who never sin but died for our sins. Jesus love the both of you stay encourage the Devil is a liar and not only that he is a deceiver. the lord's will must be done.

The body of Christ should be praying and interceding for both of them. Who in there marriage have not had situations that you would want posted all over the news. Maybe not to this extreme but we all have had embarrassing moments when we have not acted Godly. In the heat of an argrument, misunderstandings, words uttered, that should not have even been thought, let along said out loud to the one person that you adore; anything can happen, because then God is out, then the flesh is in. My heart and compassion goes out for this couple, who I know are devastated and embarrassed. Let's not throw stones at people who are already stoned by the working of their own hands. Let's not gossip, let's pray and show the world that is looking on and judging us by the way that we treat our own and practice what we preach. I love you Bishop and Porphetess Bynum and God loves you best.

Man of God? Yeah right!!!!!

i would like to know why they were out at 4am because that's when most dangerous things happen. i don't promote battering your mate.

Yes, as Christians we know that this was a violent act from Satan himself, however he worked through Minister Weeks in attempting to destroy Juanita and the marriage. Minister weeks should suffer the consequences of his actions. He broke the law of the land so he should be addessed. So what really happened is that Satan has felled again and the vision of Juanita continues. I pray that the Good of Peace will heal and bless her the more. I also pray for Minister Weeks because this one bad act has changed his life forever, but perhaps will be a life saving story to help other married couples. In Jesus name Amen.

As you look at this and began to criticize what and who is and is not of God make sure that you have looked at your own life and that you are perfect. We are all flawed in some way or another, but because of the grace and mercy of God he has not allowed our flaws to become public knowledge. Anytime God airs our dirty laundry before the public He in all of his infinite wisdom has already tried to get our attention about it long before. It's God business to help them to get it right, it's our business to pray that the will of God be done. God is to wise to ever make a mistake. Isaiah 55:8 states it best when it says that "our thoughts our not his thoughts neither are our ways His ways."

I am praying for you women of god .STAY encouage knowing God will never leave you nor forsake you. You are beloveth.

Yes, this is a really bad if you are only seeing the negative impact of it. However, we the people of God have prayed and asked God to reveal the problem in the church. God’s perfect timing did reveal. Yes, it was to Juanita’s hurt; Nonetheless, this devil had to be revealed. She was sent out just like Jesus. To be persecuted and afflicted. His cruxifiction drew many, so this this situation. This situation has drawn the attention of the world. Look, the anointing that she carries will sustain her and restore what have been damaged. Many women and men wanted to walk in her shoes ( have her calling ) ” I wonder do they really want the calling now”? Her ministry is not a game. She is faced with all kinds of devils; This is exactly what she has been teaching and preaching about to us. She has always said that the anointing comes at a cost. If she had of stayed in that hotel, the whole event may have never happended. But because of God’s permissive will- she was drawn out of the hotel and into the parking lot. Now Satan who figures or at least thinks that this will be to her demise, he was revealed openly. God made a perfect show & spectacle of him. Because he was bringing hurt to the innocent. I said Satan; not Bishop Weeks. Bishop weeks had no control. If he had control, he wouldn't have done it. It may seem like it’s a shame that it because it was her husband, but who said that Satan was a respector of persons. Open ya’lls eyes people of God. God is real! so is the Devil. He will use any willing vessel. However, this is not the end of the story..See the Lord still gets the glory… Because somebody is going to be helped. Yes! even after she had to be beaten!!! It’s a part of her ministry.. She is an intercessor! She is a shephard! She is a leader. Leaders go out first to test the land. They are the ones who face giants and bring back the report. Bishop Weeks can now get the help that he needs; See God is wise! My God is so wise!!! He knows how to get the attention of his people. Is that sad to say that God will do something like this. God didn't do it, but he allowed it. The adversary is to blame. Bishop Weeks can benefit from admitting and confronting and repentance. Now, God's great work goes into effect. How many of us have yeilded ourselves for the devil use; whether knowingly and unknowingly?.... We are living the book of Revelation! … False teachers, preachers, are roaming the earth. And we know that the gifts that they have are without repentance! Because it is still used for the drawing of the saints, the saved and the lost. The bible says that even the very elect will be fooled!!!!

Come on people of God, lets see this for what it is.. God’s revealing revelation!!!!!! She may or may not internalize this; regardless if she do or not. She knows that God's doing something. I know Juanita is on her knees at this very moment..Hey, she still have the victory… The victory was at the cross before the event took place over 2000 years ago… Let’s get spiritually minded!!!!! I’m not moved by the Devil, he will not still Juanita’s joy. Nor can he have the soul of Bishop Weeks!!!! Grow up and lets get serious about God. Let's all think with understanding. For those of you who know that you have been a victim or for those who are committing these violent offenses. Step away NOW! Move into your protective place. Now that God is on the throne. It's time for a real church; not a building!!!

I saw the report, and I don't believe it all the Bishop fault, because Juanita Bynum followed him out of the hotel to his car. I believe she were trying to get him to the point of anger and to do something out of character. This woman has been damage by pass relationship with other men and will not submit to any man. Do you remember her having problems with Bishop TD Jake. I do not condone hitting a woman, but this woman is trouble and every man needs to stay away from her for a relationship. That is my view!!

Let's just ALL pray!!! The prays of the righteous availeth much.

If king David were living today, I wonder what the response of the public would have been once it had been reported on CNN that he had committed adultery with another man's wife, impregnated her, and then had her husband killed. I believe that he too would be judged harshly and definitely not looked upon as a man of God. Yes, none of us should condone or justify what Bishop Week's did no matter what may have provoked him. Sin is not to be justified but forgiven by God who justifies us by faith. However, just as God knew the heart of David and responded to his transgressions in accordance to his divine will upon his confession and repentance (Psalms 51), so He often times deals with our transgressions as the children of God in like manner. God forgave king David, but much sorrow was to follow his actions. Who knows what "new audience" of women Juanita Bynum will now be able to minister too upon hearing of this national news event. Let's keep them both in prayer, for if they both truly love God, despite any and all failures that were made, God in his abounding mercy can forgive and God in His infinite wisdom can work out for good.

Well, Well, You know things like this are eye opener's to those in the faith as to how the enemy is not playing with us and to stress how we in the christian faith and esecially those in ministry need to stay on our face in prayer and fasting before the lord.

It's agrivating to see those of you who make statements that he is not a man of god or to say this was not the devil, . . .Because that shows us who are spiritual minded that you(Whomever made the remark) you are still carnal minded. However it is understood as to why you would think as such because the things of god are spiritualy discerned that is to say you have not a clue as to what is going on anyhow, and you need prayer just as much as Mrs.Bynum and her husband. Of coarse when we say things like he did allow the enemy to step in at that time but yet refer to him as a man of god, or when we speak saying that they were attacked by the enemy, . . .that is what has happened here. Of coarse I am sure there are things that has taken place over a coarse of events, which have allowed things to come to this point or given place to the enemy to where things have blow up as such but people the enemy is proclaiming war.

The church I attend is currently on a corporate fast and just last night at prayer before I even knew anything of P.Juanita's Situation I heard my pastor Lifting her and her husband up on prayer and Praying for Paula White and her husband, . . .And i had not a clue that such a thing had happened.

And We real people of god, us real Prayer warriors, we need to intercede for them, . . .Because this is not an attack against her and her only this is an attack against the church corporatly. We are all 1 body and when one hurts we all hurt. Think about it The enemy did not come against her because he just wanted to pick on her He knows his time is short and He wants as many to fall with him as possible and he knows that if I get a Minister on a local level to fall that will be horrible and yes others may fall behind them but when a minister with P.Juanita bynum's status fall, look at the thousands of souls that could possibly be scattered behind it, man this is an attack against the kingdom of god.

And then I would like to bring to the attention of all.
Do you all recall not to long ago How Juanita had begun speaking of her desires to Leave the church to pursue a career in acting and things of the sort. Even though I am not clear as to whether she was saying she wanted to leave god all together or if she was only saying she wanted to refrain from the lifestyle of being a minister to only be a average christian follower so that she can again pursue Acting, . . .Who knows how she meant it, . . .But regardless of how she meant it that's not a good thing esecially if she is called to ministry. I am also aware of the fact that the reason she mention she wanted to do such a thing is because she feels that the church is holding her back finacially and should be a multi-millionaire by now when I assume she is not at the moment. So, we need to pray that god delivers her from this spirit that is try'n to keep her greedy for financial gain, she was found in a similar situation when her and Bishop Jakes had their differences it was because she had issues concerning what her financial gain was and thinking she was not getting what she deserved. . .People these worldly riches are not worth it. They are but dung, . . .
Pray for her that god will allow her to be content.

Well I have said enough though the thought are still flowing and I could go on and on . . .I am going to stop cause I am sure now there are those same carnal minded "FOLKS" who are saying man now she try'n to preach, but nah I am just telling it like it I.S. is, And whether people accept it or not the truth is the truth, your not agree'n won't change it.

So I'll Leave you all with this. . .SOME THINGS ONLY COME THROUGH FASTING AND PRAYER, . . .& THE STRONG OUGHT TO BEAR THE INFIRMITIES OF THE WEAK . . .

Christian's Get on your Game!

Christian's Get on your Game!

I agree with you, I want to hear his side of the story. I believe we have a tendency to look at christian leaders and think they never have problems. That somehow God touches them and their marriages become free of all arguments, disagreement and drama. God is not a respector of persons and this should give hope to people who are having problems in their marriages that they are not alone.

Domestic Violence is a very real issue in the World today. I believe that these two strong people of God can come out on top and let the world know that THERE IS A GOD! Fellow Christians. Take a Stand and SPEAK THE WORD! Where is your faith? May both of them be covered by the Blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus, slain before the foundation of the world. Cuz hell was not meant for any of us but for the demons who rebelled against the most high God. Oh yeah, Satan is a liar and Jesus is the Messiah!

This situation is sad for a lot of reasons. Both of these people have been elevated in a way that is not Godly. He is wrong, of course, for his actions no matter what caused him to do it. BUT, as a "woman of God" she is also wrong for pressing charges against him. She is actually handling this the way the world would. Surely she knows the scripture, being a prophetess and all, that tells Christians not to drag their brother before the magistrate. Both of these people need to really examine themselves, as we all do, before the Lord.

I'm sadden today because I love Juanita Bynum's ministry and admired her for being able to pull herself up after experiencing so much hurt in life. However, She nor her husband are not God...they are made by God and called by God. You get in trouble when you make people a God! If we can only KNOW that these big time Evangelist and Preachers are HUMAN individuals that will make mistakes. And until God comes back to bring us home, here on earth we will continue to make mistakes.

Now after saying that...I do believe as Christians and Evangelist...we ought to be examples to the world. It is getting harder and harder for NON-Christians to believe in Christ. If situations as of this one and many more like this continues to happen...the devil will get the glory and not the Lord. We have got to learn how to not only pray together, but talk to each other. Fighting and hitting is not the answer and never will be. That applies to everybody...not just the rich and famous. We must learn how to pray about our situation (s) seek counceling if needed, and communicate.

It is imparitive to know God for yourself...because as it stands today...there are not too many Preachers or Evangelist to look up to. Just Look up to God...you won't go wrong there. I pray that God who can do the impossible will turn this situation around for the good, and make the devil look like the devil.

Well after reading all this and that,I agree with some and beg to differ with others. Please understand that these two are one in God's eyesight and while everyone is blessing Juanita and praying for Juanita, understand you are praying for him as well. When they got married they were considered one. God's thoughts are not our thoughts nor his ways our ways. So please while you are interceding for Juanita, there must be intercession for the man as well and what God does for Juanita he will do for her husband. People want to capitalize his sin but what about the verbal abuse that was probably going on. He could have been verbally abused by her and he just got tired of it. Noone knows all the story and we will never know so stop going off heresy and pray.No abuse is right and in the eyesight of God, he looks at all sin as sin. Remember when Sarah laughed at the Lord God went to abraham, so understand the order of God and pray for Both Bishop Weeks and Juanita. Yes what he done was wrong. Both of them were wrong because when he left the hotel, she should have let him leave especially if both of them were already irate. God is faithful and he does give ways of escape. Sometimes,just sometimes we want to prove a point. Ok point has been proven let's get up and move on. Preachers are no different from the laity, they have to go through the cross just like everybody else. It's just their responsiblity is greater. So stop pounding on Thomas and Juanita, get down on your face as she proclaims and pray for the man and the woman. They are still who God said they are and they still can have what God said they can have and they shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Father, we pray now for the full restoration and comfort for both Thomas and Juanita Weeks III. We thank you for their life and appreciate the gift to the body of Christ in the persons of Bishop Thomas and Juanita Weeks III, and may many be blessed by the rest of their life TOGETHER, in Jesus name we pray amen! One simple word for the body of Christ, and the non-believers- Forgiveness. You are not God to say they are not of God because whom he predestined, he called and whom he called he justified and whom he justified, he glorified. As far as God is concerned, this is just a glory producer. Thomas and Juanita, hold your head up, square your shoulders, walk like you know that God has already glorified you both. And remember just as you both tell the nations---"Get down!" and God will raise you both back up! As for the haters and the non participaters, let your words be few because you never know when this may happen to you.

A watchman on the wall!

I am a 17 years old and a young Christian, i must say that it was shocking news to hear yesterday afternoon by a classmate of mine that Juanita Bynum (my girl) had suffered from this attack. I have to admitt that my first reaction was: what in the world is wrong with this man! he must be out of his mind... but after reading a few of these comments i understand now that the devils only goal is to destroy as many people in this christian journey as possible. It is sad to know that we must endure these battles, but Yolanda said it best the battle is not ours to endure its the lords. And people if we only listen to these words we can come out on top conquering any situation that may come OUR WAY!


Jesus loves us all reguardless of what mistakes we make ... at the end of the day let us all pray for prosperity in Gods Kingdom AND THE DOWN FALL OF THE DEVILS KINGDOM.

love you all, with the love of CHRIST!


BE blessed,

A young CHIld Of The Most High!

I believe that the Bynum/Weeks attack incident will be the catalyst for other women in ministry to finally face the pervasive misogynistic violence that is very much present within their own lives and the life of the Christian church. Even though I am not a faithful supporter of Bynum's ministry, I don't believe any woman deserves the brutal treatment of physical, emotional or psychological violence.

The brutality described in the attack leaves me to question how frequently this went on in her life. Pastoral and ministerial violence is as old as marriage it's self and there needs to be more attention drawn to dealing and facing these problems without hiding behind the Bible but instead holding married couples accountable for their actions.

While many preachers and pastors are preaching empowering messages exclusive to their own experiences, spouses, mainly women, are silently suffering from violence and private pains that has included them in the statistical equation of assault and battery, HIV/AIDS infection, emotional breakdowns and various other issues systemic of misogynistic violence. I pray that Bynum is real with her self and faces her issues without using the façade of a minister as a scapegoat to avoid the evils that have happened to her but instead confront the demons that lead to this assault so that healing can begin. She most definitely should pursue pressing charges to show men that positions and the good ole' boy system used to acquit men of Week's caliber will not supersede the justice demanded for respect of women. Pray for them yes, but the church needs to stop puttiong the total blame on the devil and start dealing holding each other accountable.

THE WORLD NEEDS HELP AND THE WORLD NEED IT NOW

"As we ALL know, there are two sides to EVERY story. I want to hear the Bishops side!"

" BUT, as a "woman of God" she is also wrong for pressing charges against him."

Are you kidding me?!?! God also says to use some common sense and discernment! HE CHOKED AND STOMPED on her and if that bellman didn't come along he might have killed her. WAKE UP! I am sick of Christians brushing this stuff under the rug and say just pray about it. This is how women end up dead!

We have to stop blaming the devil for everything and hold people accountable for their actions.

I am praying for both parties here. And obviously there are two sides to every case. Let's say Juanita provoked Bishop Weeks, but what real man crosses the line to kick and stomp his defensely wife, when she is already down?

WELL,BLESS THE LORD.I SAY TO ALL LET'S JUST PRAY.THIS IS NOT THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THIS COUPLE.THEY WERE NOT EVEN TOGETHER FOR WHATEVER REASON,SO IT WAS TIME FOR THE COVERS TO BE PULLED BACK.FIRST OF ALL FOR THE BISHOP HOW CAN HE BE A LEADER WITH ALL OF THIS ANGRY IN HIM,HE ACTUALLY BEAT HIS WIFE..WOW!...SO WAS HE PRAYED UP?..HMMM? WHAT LIFE WAS HE REALLY LIVING WHERE HE ACTUALL BEAT HE WIFE,THIS WAS HIS WIFE..WHERE IS THE LOVE.HE BEAT HER ,HE DID NOT JUST HIT HER ,HE BEAT HER....THE BIBLE TELL THE MEN TO LOVE THEIR WIVES,SO IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE IS A WIFE BEATER..THIS IS NOT HIS FIRST TIME...AND YES SHE COULD HAVE BEEN VERY ANGRY AND SAID SOME THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SAID OR SHE COULD HAVE PROVKED HER HUSBAND,BUT NOT WHERE HE HAD TO BEAT HER..THIS REALLY MESSED ME UP.THEY WERE INA PUBLIC PLACE FIGHTING.I REALIZE THAT WE ARE NOT PERFECT AND WE MAKE MISTAKES...BUT WE MUST BE HOLY IN EVERTHING WE SAY AND DO...HE NEED HELP,THEY NEED HELP..AND HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR HIS ACTION.REMEMBER THAT GOD DOES GET ANGRY AND HE DOES GET TIRED.AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WE WILL NO LONGER PLAY WITH HIM OR HIS PEOLPE ANY LONGER ..AND GEUSS WHAT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY COUPLE THAT IS FACEING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL ALSO BE UNCOVERD TO MANY EVAGELIST,PASTORS,TEACHER,PREACHERS THINK THAT THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS KIND OF ACTION,BUT GOD SAID NO YOU WILL BE UNCOVERD..WE PREACH THAT THERE IS A SHIFT COMMING WELL,YES THERE IS..AND THE SHIFT IS COMMING TO UNCOVER HIS PEOLPE SO WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT LEVEL..WE MUST CLEAN UP OUR MESS BEFORE WE CAN GO ANY HIRE IN CHRIST...HE IS LOOKING FOR AN TEMPLE WITH OUT A SPOT OR WRINKLE...IF YOU ARE READING THIS EXAMINE YOUR SELF....ASK GOD TO RESTORE YOU AND TO CLEAN YOU UP,WASH YOU ,MAKE YOU OVER AGAIN.WE MUST PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS.AND REBUKE SATAN..HE HAS NO ROOM TO MESS UP GOD PEOLPE.BYNUM WILL COME BACK WITH A GREATER ANNOINTING FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD..NO LONGER WILL SHE BE BOUND.AND BISHOP NEED TO REPENT TO HIS CHURCH AND TO HIS WIFE AND OF COURSE TO THE LORD..AND GET HIS LIFE BACK ON TRACK.

It is a shame that people in leadership, acting like Ike & Tina...need to step down from leadership and evaluate their mission.

This event messes with my inheritance. I can't effectively minister to others about living the way Christ wants us to live without seeing the noted, People of God acting like heathens...

A Big Shame

A man beats his wife. In a public parking lot. And not just any "ordinary" man. A man who claims to be a Christian and "of god" and, therefore, better than the rest of us. Beats his wife. Or beat anyone.

And some stupid people here don't put the responsibility for his actions squarely on him? But blame the devil?

You people are delusional. No wonder I think Christians are hypocrites. Personal responsibility for their own choices of behavior and action is a concept beyond their recognition. Whatever they do is always somebody else's fault. The devil made me do it.

Grow up.

Dfs Entertainment!


So Mr. Weeks. You like hitting women then telling the world how God up you are, so i figured that the next time you're feeling strong, won't you bring your azz on over to the south side of Boston, and we'll see how much we can help you out.

Ok See Y'a!


Real Talk all ya'll need to shut-up and pray. Juanita is a woman and a child of God then come ministery. Ok. Devil didnot attack their marriage. But the spirt was in BOTH parties did. I need to look at Juanita as a human being because she hurting just britney or lins lohan. Shut the hell up and pray!!!!!!!!!!

Any questions??????
Come see me

Hi, I have heard Ms. Bynum preached before when she came to the Bahamas for Revival is here. I sadden by this cruel act that her estranged husband did to her. But God is forgiving...but at the same time he is a God of vengence. Mr. Weeks needs to go back to the altar and just cry out for his sins. Demons are real so we must be careful and always have a spirit of discernment.

Bahamas

The devil was already in him...he must have done this before...people don't know what goes on behind closed doors...My best friends' little bother is homosexual and he has dated many pastors who people think are straight and engaged. This was a big reality check for people. My grandma says you can never put your trust in man only in God...I will definitely pray for her!

Christians are always blaming their short comings on Satan instead of taking responsibility for wrong doings. Thomas Weeks beat his wife and he should be punished. He made a choice; now it's time for him to suffer the consuquences. Any man who hits a woman is weak and should not be in any leadership role. I'm sure his wife prayed for him to stop abusing her. Trust, that this was not the first time he physically attacked his wife.

Stop the violence!!!

We have to pray one for another. We all fail at times. The bible tells us to pray at all time, pray without ceasing, that should tell us something.
Believe it or not Jesus is soon to come, you can feel it in the air. So many things are going on, you will be crazy not to pray. Pray that God keep you safe, from Hurt Harm and Danger.
We have to keep our eyes on God and not man. I know these two people are in the spot light, because of their position, but the devil don't care who you are.
That's why preachers on the front-line have to constantly pray, when they are telling others to pray, in which we should,they need to pray even harder, the devil is plotting at them in the background.

It's just a Test, and All Things Worked Together for the Good of Them Who Love the Lord. This is working out for her good. We may not understand it, but God saw it coming before it ever happened. The word of God tell us to lean not to our own understanding , but to trust and to acknowledge him, and he will direct our path. Any abuse is wrong in the sight of God, whether physical or mentally, and we all have exprienced some kind of abuse. The word of God also tells us not to judge, or you will be judged in the same like manner. I am praying for the both of them; that God heal them both. We may fall, but we are not utterly cast down. This too shall past. May God Bless Every Married Couple.

Well, I know no one is perfect, but why would a man beat his wife at all. Whether or not you are a christian, it is wrong for a man to beat his wife. It is so wrong. I do pray that God's will is being done in the situation. Whoever needs counselling should get counselling. We christians need to stop spirtualising everything and call it for what it is. This man did not only hit her but kicked her, just picture it. Let God's will be done in this situation.

Bless You

THIs is a WAKE UP CALL for the Kingdom of GOD!!! No the devil didn't attack her, yes he is human but if you don't understand spirits, demonic attacks, forces, etc..then you should not comment on what you don't know. The devil doesn't have the power to curse us but he entices us to end up cursing ourselves. Yes, I feel that Bishop Weeks should suffer the consequences for his actions but what we fail to realize is that GOD HATES ALL SIN!! There is no such thing as a big and little sin!! SIN IS SIN to GOD!! Your disobedience is no worse than what happened in this situation; your not spending time reading your word is not better than this situation in the eyes of GOD!! God said that we ALL for short and we ALL have sinned!! THat's why Jesus had to go to the cross!! Bottom line instead of passing judgment and trying to figure out what happened or condeming him, we should ALL be on our faces crying out to the ALMIGHTY GOD!! to have mercy on the evil and dying world!! People the DEVIL is ON ATTACK and if we don't wake up, he will demolish everything about you!! THis is a WAKE up CALL for the body of Christ to STOP paying attention to things that don't really matter but Begin to WAR and Pray against what the enemy is doing in our NATION!! Prophetess Bynum, I praying for you and your husband. Because I too suffered domestic violence at the hands of my husband and we got a divorce but we are a living testimony that GOD can change anybody who wants to be changed. GOD changed my husband and we are back together. DONT TELL ME WHAT GOD WON'T DO!! That's why instead of judging and giving opinions that really don't matter we should be on our faces PRAYING!!!!!

It is so important for Christians to let their light shine so the world will know that God lives in His believers. Any person can claim to know Christ, but the actions of a person show what is truly in his/her heart. At the same time, we all make mistakes, and we are not to stand in judgement of others. My plea is to Mr Weeks. If you are not a true believer than you should not stand before others and try to lead them. You should take a lower place in the church and work out your salvation. If you are in a struggle, then pray for forgiveness and confess your sins openly. It is wrong to carry sin to the congregation of believers. We need leaders who are true followers of Christ.


It is time for us as Christians to face the truth, which is, these two people are unequally yoked. I've read every other comment except that one. When they were televising the wedding all over cable, I prayed for both their sakes it was real, genuine, lasting, Godly love. You see, we all talk about how the devil operates. What we are not saying is how God operates. God has given us a recipe for love. Corinthinans talks about the type of love God expects of husbands and wives.

Corinthians also talks about taking your "brother" to court. The question here is, Is Bishop Weeks Prophetess Bynum's "brother"? Many times we in the Christian world want to believe that everybody who says they are a brother, a bishop, a minister, an elder, a deacon is just that. The question is, Are we not also called as Chrisitians to let the Holy Spirit guide us as to whether this is so or not?

The requirements of God for a person calling themselves a "bishop" is resident in the Bible. Fellow Christians, read your Bibles. Use your concordance and learn what those requirements are. Does Bishop Weeks meet those requirements?

The same is true for Prophetess Bynum. Before we go assigning ourselves these titles, you'd better lay out before God and let Him fill you. Other ministers, the media, or even followers cannot confer on us what will be needed to stand before God--only God can do that.

I feel for both of these people. Yes, certainly, skeptics and the world are watching, but they are watching us, too. They are watching to see how we react. We cannot continue to defile God's Word by reading only limited portions when we like the people involved or it hits too close to home.

I have been in the church all my life and have been saved since I was seven years old. I have known many women who were abused who just kept it to themselves. One such woman was married to the pastor's son. He beat that woman over and over again. Do you know what happened? She died of a brain aneurysm from one of his vicious attacks. He was not her "brother," and should have gone to jail for what he did. Instead, after he death, he married the daughter of a friend of my mother's and beat her, too. Sin that is not dealt with turn into deep-seated iniquity.

There is no excuse for what Bishop Weeks did. Yes, he is to be forgiven by God. Yes, he is to be forgiven and held up in prayer by us. That does not, however, mean we are supposed to turn a blind eye and talk about what satan did.

How many of you really believe the New Testament? My Bible says satan is a defeated foe. My Bible says that Jesus conquered death, the grave, and satan. Consequently, satan's only power is the power we give him by giving place to him in our lives.

Let's face it, somehow these two open the door to satan, and he walked right on in. As for Juanita Bynum, my heart goes out to her--not because she is a prophetess but because this is a continuing saga in her life of abuse. Underneath it all, we all want to be loved. I do pray for her. Mostly, I pray that more than her being able to come back with a vibrant sermon for the masses, that she will find the true meaning of love, loving God and loving herself. I pray that she will let God heal what no man can heal, what no woman can heal, what no applause can heal, what no amount of money or fame can heal.

As for Bishop Weeks, he needs to acknowledge what he has done and stop saying he loves (euphemistic for lust) his wife. He needs to saturate himself with the Word. Tune us out, tune out family, tune out friends, and focus his eyes on God. He needs, go ahead and scream online, to get saved. Because when he does, that old, angry man inside will die. He will truly be born again. Whether he is ever invited onto another TV screen or preaches in the backwoods, he will know that he knows that when this life is over, he will see God.

May God richly bless all of you who, I'm sure, will disagree with me. However, they were unequally yoked. Just because they were both ministers did not make them equally yoked. They were not each other's other half, because if they had been, folks, this wouldn't have happened. Good people, bad choices.

Let us pray for both of them that God will work it out. And can we remember when we are typing that God is spelled with a capital "G". Man some of you possess such hostility but lack proper grammar.

I find it strange that in the middle of this confusion, Paula White and her husband's announcement regarding their divorce hits the news. I just want to know one thing, why does the modern day preacher have to take on the celebrity lifestyle just because they have MOOOOOOOOONEY. Talking about Papparazzi's following you and all this stuff what door have these people opened to the enemy for this type of confusion. It's like if I have a lying spirit behind closed doors sooner or later that's going to catch up with me because I've LEARNED to lie for convenience sake. Then what as soon as the lie comes out public then it's the devil. How about you opened the door for the devil to come in and overttake you, your family, and the ministry God entrusted you with hostage. How about owning up to the part you played in getting played?


Oh Lord we seek your intervention in this situation. This is very sad to hear that these two wonderful people are facing trouble in their mariage. Bishop Weeks Book "Teach me how to Love You" with a foreword by Juanita was very inspirational to me and I believe to all those who read it. I pray that the good Lord who knows and never fails heals this marriage and restore them with his Love. The devil is a liar and a defeated foe. Both of you take heart. God cares and he Loves know matter what.

God wins! Read Genesis to Revelation to find out. If Mr. Weeks turned himself in, he must have realized that he did do something wrong against God (Ps. 51) and himself since he and Juanita are one. If Juanita had any part in it, she's just as guilty. We need to get our noses out of the negative and pray and live out the positive. Pay more attention to the people who need to hear the gospel instead of those trying to make a quick buck in the media. If Peter, Paul, Mary (no pun intended), John, the saints, and all other apostles had problems, what makes anyone think that they're exempt? The Bible was inspired to 1) show God's glory, 2) to show His glory 3) to show His glory, and 4) to show how humans (yes you and I) have screwed up the world and need 5) God to redeem them through Jesus to 6) show His glory. Get the picture? God will use this situation (not that I condone it-but who am I to unjustly judge? (Matt 5) as an example of how he can redeem even in the midst of trouble. Remember Moses and the Rock?, Peter and the Gentiles, we and all of the sins we've committed? Pray for healing and peace. It's called grace (what you don't deserve-salvation), mercy from what you do deserve (judgment), and compassion (Jesus forgiving us in wrath and love). Learn to mimick Him to the fullest!! If you aren't a Christian reading this...this applies to you too.

God bless.
Christian

BISHOP THOMAS WEEKS ATTACKED!!!


YOU KNOW I SEE EVERYONE ON HERE IS ONE SIDED SO LET ME TAKE A MORE ONE OVER APPROACH TO THIS SUBJECT!! HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SET THIS MAN OFF HE COULD HAVE BEEN ATTACKED FOR A WHILE BE HER. BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT IS NOT EASY!! THEY BOTH HAD THERE OWN BEFORE THEY MET. THE WAY YOU SEE HER IS NOT THE WAY HE MAY SEE HER. MAY BE HE DOES NOT BOW DOWN TO HER LIKE MANY DO AND THAT IS WHY SHE WAS THREATNING HIM IN A WAY. REMEMBER HE LEFT THE TABLE TO GET AWAY FROM HER. SHE FOLLOWED HIM IN A ANGRY MANNER. NOT SAYING I SUPPORT HIS ACTIONS. BUT WIVES KNOW HOW TO PUSH YOUR BUTTONS. GET IT RIGHT SHE IS AT FAULT AS WELL!!!!

YOUR POINT THAT SHE FOLLOWED HIM IS WELL TAKEN. THAT'S WHY I AM SAYING AS SHE HERSELF HAS PREACHED AND TAUGHT MANY TIMES, THERE HAD TO BE SOME DELIVERANCE THAT IS STILL NEEDED BY HER IN THE AREA OF A RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE THE HOLY GHOST IN HER UNLESS SHE IGNORED HIS VOICE WOULD HAVE TOLD HER TO SIT HER BUTT DOWN AND LET HIM LEAVE.

IF THIS WHOLE THING DIDN'T START OFF WITH PRAYER AND THE WORD AND IF SHE DIDN'T HAVE A BAND OF PRAYER WARRIORS PRAYING FOR HER THAT THEY BOTH WOULD SAY AND DO THE RIGHT THING AT THE VERY HOUR WHEN SHE WAS TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS THEN NO TELLING WHAT WAS SAID

AND IN ANOTHER ARTICLE HER SISTER IS SAYING THE MINISTRY IN GA WAS ALREADY ARRANGING FOR HER TO HAVE BODY GUARDS TWO DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THEN WHY, OH WHY WOULD SHE JUMP THE GUN AND MEET UP WITH HIM WITHOUT ANY PROTECTIVE MEAUSURES IN PLACE. THE ANOINTING AIN'T NO FOOL! I KNOW WE CAN'T JUDGE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH PRAYER AND WISDOM PRECEDED THIS MEETING. TO BE HONEST, THEY JUST SEEM LIKE TWO VERY HURT PEOPLE WORKING IN HURT TO FIX HURT BUT TOO HURT TO KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY HANDLE THE HURT. YES, I AM PRAYING FOR THEM BECAUSE WHETHER THEY STAY TOGETHER OR SEPARATE, THEY WILL REALLY NEED TO HEAL AND I PRAY THEY REALLY HEAL BEFORE TRYING ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP.

MY OTHER QUESTION IS IF ALL THIS WAS GOING ON WHY AFTER THE FACT IS MR. WEEKS GOING TO HIS FATHER AND THE BODY OF MINISTERS FOR COUNSEL, WHY DIDN'T THIS HAPPEN BEFORE? THIS IS WHAT I MEAN BY CELEBRITY LIFESTYLE. TRYING TO HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS IN THE DARK, BUT WHAT YOU DO IN THE DARK WILL COME TO THE LIGHT. MY PRAYERS, SYMPATHY AND CONCERN GO OUT TO THEM BOTH.

AS AN ABUSED CHRISTIAN WOMAN OF 17 YEARS, UNLESS I'M JUST IN THE FLESH, AND I WAS MANY TIMES, I WOULD NEVER FOLLOW A MAN WHO HAS GOTTEN UP FROM A DISCUSSION. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT IF HE GETS UP TO HIM IT CAN'T BE RESOLVED AT THAT POINT, HE'S DONE OR HE NEEDS TO GO THINK SO WHY FOLLOW HIM? BUT I WOULD DO THIS KIND OF SILLY BEHAVIOR AT FIRST BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD RELATIONSHIPS AND MEN TO SOME DEGREE. WHEN A MAN LEAVES A CONVERSATION WHETHER YOU LIKE WHAT HE SAID OR NOT, HE'S DONE SO LEAVE IT ALONE, AND IF YOU AS A WOMAN NEED AN ANSWER, GET YOU A PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR INVOLVED, AND IF HE WON'T AGREE TO COUNSELING, TAKE IT TO GOD AND WHATEVER GOD SAYS DO THAT AND NOTHING ELSE.

These two are new to me as well...but what I want to know is Juanita Bynum - Thomas Weeks III - Christians? Which Bible Are They Reading?

THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS WE ALL WANT TO TAKE SIDES INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THEM BOTH.THEY HAD BEEN APART OF FOR SOMETIME NOW BUT STILL HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN COUNSELING FOR A WHILE WE NEVER KNEW! ALSON HIS AGGRESSION HAS BEEN ACTED OUT ALTHOUGH SHE COULD HAVE BEEN ABUSING HIM ALL ALONG!! ALSO MEN GROW TESTOSTERONE. AND ARE TAUGHT TO BE PHYSICAL IN EVERY ASPECTS OF LIFE LOOK AT KING DAVID AND OTHER MEN STRONG MEN IN THE BIBLE. WORDS ARE POWERFUL AND LEAD TO ACTION WHAT HAS HAPPEN THEN HAPPENS NOW. MEN ARE CONTROLLED AGGRESSORS AND SO ARE WOMEN!! MEN HATE TO BE NAGGED!!

I am so saddened by this story. we will never know truth ...all we can do now is pray . ALL THINGS ARE WROTH THROUGH PRAYER .

I liked what anonymous on Aug.24 4:21pm said about "Sin that is not dealt with turns into deep-seated iniquity." there is wisdom in that, and backed up, I believe, by the fact that God always said or expressed that sin must come out into the Light in order for us to be cleansed and the sin removed. It is a theme, again & again, from Adam to this day. Even now, much goes on in churches, and those who know the truth, and in place of leadership to do something about it, do not do as Jesus & Apostle Paul said to do. When it can't be reconciled between the offenders, godly counselors are called, and if they don't stop sinning -- then it's to be told to the whole church--but who does that nowadays? Not saying Juanita & Bishop Weeks were 'sinning' -- just saying that when things are not dealt with like the Lord said to do, then things just get worse & worse and many more suffer.
My comments may seem out of sync with what everyone else has posted, but that's because I don't have anything new/different to say --everyone has pretty much already said it. I'm very surprised at this incident, but am taking a wait & see attitude, before jumping to too many conclusions.
We are ALL told to forgive, and restore one another, and not to think of ourselves too highly, lest we stumble & fall. Apostles, prophets, teachers, evanglists and pastors were not suppose to be TITLES, but POSTIONS in the body, for the good of Body of Christ. It's not suppose to make them a 'somebody' -- it's just suppose to let us know what their work/calling is. therefore, stumbling can happen to anyone -- "there but for the grace of God -- go I". So, we (and they), need God's grace & strength to "NOT do the things I do(which are wrong) --Romans 7:19-25

The lord is about to bring down every high thing . His work must go on and there are lots of people in the way.

one of these days there are going to be people who would say to the lord, lord I have prophesy in your name , I have chast out dvils in your name , I gave to the poor and so on. But the lord would say , sorry I know you not . For God is about love and wisdow . Why do you think you have to have a wife or husband? why can't you sarve God without . Who are your tring to impress , who do you want to look up to you . Sorry dear, this don't help you . stop letting the devil fool you, fool.

SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY INNOCENT!!! SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY INNOCENT!!!
SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY INNOCENT!!! SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY INNOCENT!!!

While by no means am I saying Bishop Week's actions should be excused, I DO remember Juanita preaching a sermon a few months after their "royal" wedding. During this sermon she said she threw a brick into the back of his car out of rage. She also said that when they were trying to reconcile the marriage back then which was about 5 years ago, her mother and his parents acted as mediators. According to Juanita (during the sermon) she was acting a fool and had to be told several times by her mother to "Shut up NITA!"

Juanita is a powerful woman but she has a BIG ego that has gotten her into alot of trouble. When she broke out with "NO MORE SHEETs" she sued T.D. Jakes because he did not give her the money she thought she deserved. This was a terrible event for Bishop Jakes but he kept his head up! After several years past, Juanita was at the Women's Conference in Houston hosted by Bishop Jakes and she apologized and asked for forgiveness. This was done on her knees as she wiped the feet of Bishop Jakes saying "forgive me daddy."

There seems to be a formula... Juanita + Bishop= Court Case

GOD has used her in a mighty way and I pray that He continues but she sent the pictures to the Fox News in Atlanta. WHAT KIND OF MESS IS THAT? It seems like she was trying to ruin this man and that is not the way this should have been handled. It is a bad witness to the kingdom.

Again, I am not excusing Bishop Week's actions nor am I taking up for him. To tell the truth I don't really like the man (not that I know him) but truth is truth. If we are to hear about what he did, PLEASE SOMEONE tell us about her. She is NOT completely innocent and I pray that she comes forth and tells the truth about this mess. That is after Bishop Week's is locked up or something.... I would hate to read about him busting a cap in her butt!

May we all be blessed without the mess!!!

-Truth reporter

The next hearing for Weeks will be September 7 in Fulton County Superior Court.

Weeks, speaking through one of his lawyers said he would attempt to reconcile with his wife and continue his ministry after the allegations were taken care of.

"He is extremely sad over the events that have taken place," said Edward Garland, one of the two attorneys representing Weeks. "I think there is hope on his part that the relationship can get past these difficult moments.

"He has never had any accusation of any sort like this from her or anyone else. There are a lot of circumstances surrounding these events that will be explained at a later time. He is turning it over to the court system at this point."

LIKE I SAID THIS HAS BEEN BUILDING UP IN HIM FOR A WHILE YOU CANNOT JUST FAULT THIS MAN!! ONLY!! SHE IS JUST AS FAULT!! HE NEEDS TO EXPOSE HER IN THE SAME MANNER!REMEMBER HE WALKED AWAY!SHE CHARGED HIM!


SI

To God Be all the Glory! We need to all stop passing judgement and mind our business. The bible say if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and "pray" (not GOSSIP)...!!! They are one now; the two shall be one flesh, and so they are regardless for better or worst. Whatever they (Bishop Weeks and Dr. Bynum) decide to do it will be between them and the Lord. Everyone who has something to say tell me are you perfect? We have all done or said something that can be considered not "Christ Like", it is because we are not in public view that our deeds are not public. Saints pray for them, and remember God is F A I T H F U L and just to F O R G I V E us our sins. There is no reason to pass judgement on either of them. Our bible tells us Judge Not! Everybody Let Go and Let Go Have his way. All the trials that Dr. Bynum has gone through in her past after the storm God has use her, her pain as a message to women/men who have been hurt, I know God will use this as a way to help someone who is suffering. Be greatful that they are willing and have sold out to the Lord. This trial will help deliver someone. God will NEVER be made ashame. Pray Folks, prayer moves the hands of God. Be blessed. Renee, Springfield Gardens, NY

I really don't know what to say. I needed time to myself the other night(before I heard about the beating)and I shut myself up in my bedroom just to listen to Juanita's sermon on "Teach me how to love you". I am apalled by what happened. How can they teach others when they don't know how? She put him on a pedestal and put unmarried women down. All I know is that God is not pleased at all. I know things happen sometimes but they are "Prophetess and Prophet". So who wants to hear a "Word from the Lord" from them now? Some will still respect them but then I think they will lose the respect of a lot too. This could cause many to miss out on coming into salvation. Some may think if the "CHURCH" can't get it together, then who can? They represent God
(or do they)? God is pulling the covers off everyone and everything that say they belong to HIM. However, I will still be in prayer concerning this case.
God Bless the USA-----USA bless God!

When we began to judge one another we must be very careful because we will be judged. What Bishop Weeks did was wrong but I'm sure that if he is the man of God as we know him.... things will work out for their good.
Take 3 minutes and look back on your own life and recall some of the wrong things that you have done in the last year, in the last month, in the last week...just this morning. Was anyone looking at you? Did you get caught? We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We all must be prayful because the enemy has been attacking leaders very very heavy recently. This is his job. Our job is to continue to believe what we have been reading and studying in God's holy word since we became Christians. Let's put the WORD to work for once in our lives. Most of all read your Word and rely on God who is the Author and Finisher of our faith. Many people love Juanita & Bishop Weeks and now is the time to show it. GOD WILL TRULY GET THE GLORY OUT OF THIS SITUATION. WHAT THE devil MEANT FOR EVIL GOD WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR GOOD. Pray saints as never before. You see what is happening in this world. Many natural disasters, sickness and disease, mother and father against children, children against parents, gangs taking over the streets, men and women being killed in wars on foreign lands and in our inner cities. How many young people have been killed in your community? In a nearby community? Did we miss it? Look at this situation! Think about it! What do you think is happening? Put your WORD to work. It is not enough to know the Word of God because satan knew the Word but he could not live it. To Dr. Bynum & Bishop Weeks I will pray if no one else prays. I got NOTHING to loose but EVERYTHING to gain. .......WE LOVE BOTH OF YOU...God will put the devil to shame....


GOD WILL PROVE HIMSELF SOON. YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YET YOU TURN WILL COME

IF YOU AREN'T PRAYING START NOW.GOD IS A FORGIVTNG GOD

One thing about it. LORD FORGIVE ME are the 3 words needed for Bishop Weeks to be forgiven. While you who are naming, and blaming what "a bishop has done", he might later be in heaven, while you are roasting in hell for being medling busy bodies, continuing to stir up this stink and not forgiving him. It is obvious that your own lives are sinful and boring!


GOD WILL PROVE HIMSELF SOON. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH YOU YET.YOUR TURN WILL COME. SO DON'T JUDGE GOD IS A FORGIVING GOD.

Pray,pray,and pray.I'm tired of people calling the real man and women of God fate. You don't know who been call by God. If they didn't have any problem you will be saying nothing about them. Some of you are still in the FLESH, so check yourself. Put yourself in there shoe.I think some people not respecting the man and women of God privatice. LET GOD BE GOD! GET THE GLORY! REAL INTERCESSIOR PRAY.AND DON'T GIVE UP. THEY SHALL COME OUT AS PURE GOLD! AMEN! AND WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT!

Can so called Christians do no wrong? Can so called Christians take no responsibility for their actions? Do so call Christians not have the free will granted to them by God? I grow weary at the excuses. Men who beat women are weak, cowardly and dangerous. There is no need to blame this on some devil or demon. We all have the power to choose. It is by our choices that we will be judged.
Starting one's own Church, then naming one's self bishop or prophet of that church does not make one holy, special or even gifted. It puts one in a position where the temptation to manipulate, justify and con are all too real. These folk are no biblical scholars, how many of them have studied theology? How many have studied religion or anything else for that matter. Bynum is an high paid Profittess. And I have no love for any of the tv fake preachers, but more importantly she is a woman, and no woman deserves the violent attacked that her husband committed. But please stop making excuses for him and stop blaming her or the devil for his actions.

Remember KING David.......

Pray for "mercy"



SIT BACK AND SEE THE SALVATION OF GOD IN THIS.
GOD WILL SHOW UP IN THIS. HE ALWAYS DO. GOD IS LOVE AND
HE IS THE ONLY JUDGE OF ALL. SO BE CAREFUL FOR WHAT YOU
SAY ABOUT A MAN ARE WOMAN OF GOD. HE SAID TOUCH NOT MY ANOINTED ONES AND DO MY PROPHETS NO HARM.SO I INCOURAGE
ALL TO TAKE YOUR MOUTH OFF GOD ANOINTED ONES. HE CALL THEM.LETS JUST PRAY FOR THEM I AM HURT TO BUT GOD IS A HEALER. THEY ARE HURTING ALSO.THEY NEED OUR PRAYERS.

I REMEMBER A STORY ABOUT A PEOPLE WHO PRAYED FOR A KING THEY DIDN'T NEED.... WHEN GOD GAVE THEM ONE, HE TURNED OUT TO BE A TYRANT. NEXT TIME BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND STOP PUTTING PERSONAL DESIRES BEFORE GOD... HE IS A JEALOUS GOD AND WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ! LET'S JUST HOPE THESE EVENTS DON'T CHANGE GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE. REMEMBER, ADAM AND EVE CHANGED IT ! YOU SHOULD BE ASKING GOD'S FORGIVENESS FIRST ! WE ALL FALL, BUT IF WE ARE ON OUR KNEES PRAYING, THE FALL USUALLY DOESN'T DO AS MUCH DAMAGE. I HOPE FOR ONLY THE BEST FOR YOU. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED IN SO MANY WAYS BY YOUR MINISTRY ! PRAY FOR ME AND I'LL PRAY FOR YOU :) KEVIN.

THE WORD OF GOD TELL US IN THE BOOK OF 1COR 2:14 BUT THE
NATURAL MAN DOES NOT RECEIVE THE THINGS OF THE SPIRT OF
GOD, FOR THEY ARE FOOLISHNESS TO HIM; NOR CAN HE KNOW THEM, BECCAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. SO PLEASE STOP TRYING TO CONVINCE THE WORLD ABOUT WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THIS HOUR THEY DONT UNDERSTAND.PRAY THAT THEY COME TO KNOW JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR.AND GET FILL
WITH THE HOLY SPIRT OF GOD.GOD IS TRYING TO GET THE ATTENTION OF TRUE CHURCH.THIS IS NOT ABOUT A MAN AND WOMEN. KEEP YOUR EAR TO GOD HEART. BE SENITIVE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU FROM SOMEONE THAT IS AFTER GOD ON HEART.

CHRISITIANS NEED TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. THE DEVIL ATTACK AND INTERVENE ON A DAILY BASES. THE DEVIL USES LOVE ONES AND PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU BECAUSE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO GET YOU TO REACT. BUT HOW WE RESPOND TO SITUATIONS IS WHAT SEPERATES CHRISTIANS FROM THE WORLD. LET US STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR OUR ACTION AND USE THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF ALL AGAINST SATAN AND THAT IS PRAYER. IF WE START TO BE REAL WITH OURSELVES AND UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL MAYBE WE COULD AVOID SOME OF THE MESS WE FIND OURSELVES INVOLVED IN. PRAYER MORE LESS EXCUSES....

While I pray for Prophetess Bynum and Bishop Weeks, I also pray for all those who follow them and may stumble or who have already stumbled because of this situation. While we are not to look to man, most people are initially attracted to the Body of Christ by a man or woman of God. The devil knows if he can bring down the head many of the followers will also fall. Therefore, pray for all leaders of the Body of Christ without judging whether they are true or false men and woman of God because many of their followers are serious about their conversion and need to grow in the knowledge of God in order they may stand in His Word.

Yes, the devil is a liar but Bishop Thomas Weeks is just WRONG, WRONG, WRONG for his actions.

To whom much is given, much is required. This man is called of God to represent. We all fall at times but self control is vital an apparently Bishop Weeks failed to control himself. Makes me wonder what else he maybe capable of and blame it on the devil.

SAINTS OF GOD ITS TIME TO PRAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE. THIS IS NOT JUST A ATTACK ON THE NATURAL BRIDE BUT ITS A ATTACK ON THE BRIDE OF CHRIST. LOOK BEYOND THE NATURAL REALM AND LOOK INTO THE SPIRT REALM. GOD IS GIVING US MORE TO PRAY FOR TODAY.PRAY FOR YOUSELF AND YOUR LOVES ONES. PRAY FOR LEADERSHIP ALL OVER THE WORLD.THEY NEED YOUR PRAYERS. LOOK AROUND YOU AND SEE WHATS GOING ON.CANT YOU SEE LOOK CLOSER SAINTS. GOD IS TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING. BUT IF YOU ARE SLOW YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE MESSAGE.

He should have never put his hands on her, he suppose to be a man of God love God. Most of you are blaming the devil, the devil did not make him do this he did it because he wanted to do it, we always want to blame the devil or others, take a good look at yoursef we are responsible for our own actions.

This unfortunate incident provides an opportunity for the critics of Christ to attack his ministry. Sadly many blind and misinformed individuals will trumpet Satan's agenda to others who know no better. What else is news. Have at it Satan, you lose in the end.

I can appreciate that Saints of God recognize that the enemy has spearheaded this situation for varoius reasons BUT LET'S NOT FORGET that this is yet another case of an woman being violently attacked at the hands of someone who vowed to love and protect her. Thomas Weeks actions are unacceptable.

Dear People of God,
I have gone through most of the comments that have been made above and the only thing I would say is that God is not through with us irrespective of who we are.There was a day the jews brought a lady whom they had accused to have committed adultery to Jesus.They asked Jesus what they should do to her because according to the law of Moses,anyone who was found doing adultery was to be stoned to death.Jesus listened to them carefully and gave them a very tricky statement''Whoever amongst you who has not done that should throw the first stone''When they heard that,they started leaving one by one.When Jesus was left with the woman a lone,he asked her''where are your accusers?''Jesus said to her''Even I will not condemn you,go and never sin again''Let us be carefully on this issue.The bible says''Never touch the annointed one of God'' Prohetess Juanita and Bishop Weeks 3,needs us now like never before to stand with them in this tough time of their life.Let us not condemn them in anyway but pray for them.You never know the storm you'll have tomorrow.The devil is not happy with the great work God has been using them to do but he is difeated.I therefore call upon christians from all walks of life to stand with these dear ones until we win this tough battle for all of us.It is Jesus being mocked not Juanita or Bishop Weeks.May God give them wisdom to sort this issue in away that God will get a bigger glory than the one the world would imagine.God bless you all.Remember'life is a teacher and the more you live the more you learn'!!

LETS PRAY FOR THE WEEKS FAMILY AND THE BODY OF CHRIST
THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THE LORD HAS CALLED US TO DO

WE ARE REALLY OFF THE MARK WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT GOD REALLY WANTS FOR HIS PEOPLE NOTHING HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT WE NEED TO PRAY AND SEEK GOD FACE IN EVERYTHING WE DO

They were not attacked by the 'Devil'. She attacked by her husband. I guess that they are both prophets- whatever that means. But, let me give all of you people that want to pray for this woman a piece of advice. Set yourselves up into two groups. Half of the group can pray and the other half look for this man and immediately call the police, when they see him. And all of you, please teach your people that when they see signs of an abusive person
don't try to pray the abuse out of them - GET AWAY FROM THEM. Because, I find it hard to believe that this behavior is brand new from this man there had to be signs.

All of this nonsense about the Devil attacking Mr Weeks ( I won't call him Bishop) is foolishness. The man is out of control, does not have the love of Christ in him and needs to sit down and be taught how to "Love his wife as Christ loved the Church. He is a terrible example of a Christian. No, the Devil did not attack anyone. Mr Weeks did the attacking.

Yes we do give th devil to much credit.We must now allow our SIRIT man over ride our flesh man. Our flesh have more power then people seem to think.We must keep the Weeks in prayer and all other marriages as well. E can all see that the enemy is going after all marriages especially the one's that GOD ordained. May be if they would look at some of there tapes and DVD they could actually come back the more stronger then befor. The 'Teach Me How To Love You' tapes help my marriage a whole lot. We go threw things too make us stronger. If GOD befor us that is more then the whole world against us.We don't know and we want there. God knows all and see's all so all our faith must be in Him and not man. We believe in God for them and we know that God will , will be done in there life and ministery.God is a forgiving God, and know body can over ride His word , for He say's' stand still and know that I AM God'. WE MUST PRAY FOR THEM NOT PLACE THE BLAME GAME on any body. If we wouold just use the power that God has given us we could be some powerful people of God. BE BLESSED IN THE LORD.

As an avid viewer,i feel that this incident is for a many men and women.Know your mates by searching backgrounds,history,and family situations.I have high regards for this couple and still do.GOD is showing us many things through this marriage,so see (HIM) in it.Let GOD choose your mate and wait for HIS affirmation.GOD is Juanita And her husband,s deliverer,healer and all that they need;we are not GOD.So now we search ourselves as they also should and stand on Lamentations 3:40 and return to HIM..The power and anointing rest upon them ,with the mercy and grace of our father ,also the peace of GOD rule over them.Luv and much prayers.

Pray for them and shut up! No one is PERFECT! Who really can cast the FIRST STONE! Pray for them!
Juanita and Bishop Weeks III, you both are in my prayers. God sees best.

I Thess 5:24 says he who called you is faithful and he will do it!

None of us can ever claim to have done anything out of line from the time we were born, from the we got saved and shockingly we are still going to do stuff which we once though was inconceivable.... as long as we are in this body we will sin at least thats what the bible tells me.

So U and I cannot point a finger to any of them and say "How could they...and yet they preach so powerfully?' They are only human & I know that they will make it.

To Juanita and Weeks I say this to U.

It takes a minimum of 2pple to breed a quarrel....U cant clap with one hand so search yourselves and say " What is my part in the whole of this mess!

I love both of U so much and I'm praying 4u.

TG

If she's a prophetess, why didn't she get a vision of her impending butt whupping? You mean to tell me God showed her that we are supposed to give her our money but he didn't show her that she was getting ready to be hurt? So much for her prophesying.

This is bigger than Bishop Weeks and prophetess Juanita, God is sending out a message to His church and we are still not listening.

I have been praying and asking what should the church learned from this situation….What He is saying…
and He has spoken…Correction is in the land for the Church…

He wants us as His people
