I wanna read this piece because when the news first broke he was fired, my mind just went to embezzlement but looks like we're getting that and den some! Love me some good church scandals.

i still think there's more about eddie long out there and i know there's gotta be something going on with td jakes and it's not just my seething hatred for megachurches

I mean Eddie Long was a sexual predator who preyed on young men and teenage boys. He was a self-loathing closeted gay man who many believe died from AIDS-related complications. And in my opinion everyone should have a seething hatred for megachurches and the charlatans who run them (looks at Joel Osteen).
