Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

Do you think he stepped over the line in writing this book and his comments on You Tube? Should he keep what happened in his marriage private?

Or does he have the right to clarify what has been said about him?

By the way, I am not promoting this book--even if it resembles a book promo--it's NOT! :)

Bishop Bobby Brown. "There is an unnamed third party that caused my ghetto fabulous wife to rebel against me and that's why I beat her up in public. Let me share with you why I'm such a jerk and maybe Satan won't destroy you too."

I can hardly listen to guys that position themselves as so 'sincere' and slick. Makes my skin crawl.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I support Bishop Weeks decision to release "What Love Taught Me?"

I am a supporter of Juanita Bynum, but I know there are TWO sides to every story. Even tragic sad ones like this one...

My prayers are with them both...

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

So is there a parallel between Bobby Brown and Bishop Weeks??

I havent heard anyone say that before about Bishop Weeks, I find that interesting-

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

They definitely need our prayers!

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I find it more like appaling.

Bobby Brown is druggie who can't stay outta trouble, legal trouble. And Whitney has enabled him all those years to be the jerk he is.

Bishop Weeks is a man of God who got caught up in a marriage to a woman of God who, anointed she is, used of God, but is caught up with the fame of it all and is willing to sacrifice anything to have it.

Even her marraige....

Like I said, there are TWO sides to every story.

Prophetess gave hers, and its only fair Bishop gives his, too....

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I realize there are three sides to every story. There's what he said, there's what she said and there's what REALLY happened. These two people are products of their own egos spurred on by a celebrity Christian culture. I feel bad for them both. The whole thing is sad, and repugnant.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

Did you watch the video?

He said, JB was in a meeting and told the congergation to call out BTW name and then she said she was coming home-

I do think there needs some clarity- He should have his moment to explain his side--after all I think he has lost everything over this whole event.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

No, I have dial up (isn't that horrid?) so watching videos is out.

I remember he tried to release the book without the addition a few months back and that is when he publicly apologized to his wife.

I saw that at the library and cried like a baby!

I believe it was heart felt. They both still love one another.

I tell you one thing; I wouldn't let ministry, media, popularity or anything tear up my marriage....ahem, that is, if I still had one....

You live and you learn....it takes two.

Sad....

NO ministry is worth your family....

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

Could you explain this more? How is their failed very public marriage repugnant? (great word btw, I just dont know what you mean)

I do believe a lot of the down fall of their marriage was do to with some of the celebrity element and how they were unable to handle the stress of (really her) public life and their private life together-

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I agree! Marriage and family should come first-

I am so sorry to hear about your marriage--

I thank God everyday for my husband.


One thing though, if you read his website for the book http://www.whatlovetaughtme.com

He said she was hardly home and traveled a lot and would rest on Sundays-I think it's a little weird that he really thought she should stop traveling and doing what she had done before--

A lot of what she did helped him to do what he was doing-sounds like they went into the marriage not knowing what was expected of the other-

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I don't mean that they or their marriage is repugnant. It's just the whole ego driven driven ministry and celebrity Christian culture thing that is repugnant. Sorry about the misunderstanding. And sorry to come off as so flippant. I just bristle at the whole mega-monster ministry stuff and the slick meisters that people cowtow to in Christian culture, especially on the Charismatic side. I get all nervous at Jakes when he deigns to come out from behind his massive eco-unfriendly pulpit and struts around with his chest all puffed out. The whole arrogance, in-your-face , I'm all that a bag of chips things just rubs me wrong. That's what I think is sad and repugnant. Unfortunately people get caught up in the system and the higher you go the farther you fall, i.e. Weeks/Bynum. The whole thing is sad. And repugnant. :)

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

My thing is just because it's massive doesn't exactly mean it's successful in God's eyes. I am not saying that God is not using some of the mega churches in a profound way-but to say that is success-is wrong.

I think what God deems is success and what we think is success, powerful and amazing may not be the same thing as that God does.

We need to seek to please God and go where God leads us, and not be intimidating into thinking if it isn't as grand and big as so n so we're some how less-I just don't think that is true at all.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I agree. See, I'm not a monster like the good fer nuthin Keith4him says I am. :)

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

:smack

He never called you a monster!

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I thought that it was very good thing that he did this ...

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

He certainly ought to have his say.

As for Juanita Bynum--I don't support her at all. Her ministry (and I use that word lightly) makes a mockery of godly women everywhere. And that is my opinion. I can't stand to watch her or hear her preach/teach.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I think that since she spilt the beans and went around on the circuit he has a right to tell his side.....the sad thing is he is probably going to make some bucks off of it though

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I know. I'm just funnin' ya. Tell the old goat I said hi.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

This whole thing is about ego, ego, and more ego.
Which one is bigger?
Who knows?
Regardless, they are making a mockery of good christianity, much like Bakker and all those that came after him.

We need a return to genuine chrisitianity and get away from all of this hollywood hype.
And, I did not whisper while I said it.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I used to enjoy her preaching (I am probably the only one here who would admit such a thing) but now I cant listen to her either-

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

Bishop Weeks did a special on BET in January talking as much about his side as he could. I think its legal things involved. He never said anything bad about her or thier marriage. He didnt bash her. I thought that was nice of him, after what she has been doing.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I wonder what the opening line of the book is? 'Love is a fight so ball up your fists and start-a-swingin'. I am only kidding, but it is a sad situation. It is a shame that relationships come to this wether in the lime-light or not. I am sure it is safe to say that both sides are at fault somehow. Rarely is there a side that is 'scott free' in these types of things. As A_Pomo said there are three sides to everystory. His, Hers and the truth. Maybe everyone can learn from this and hopefully there is a common ground that will be reached in any legal proceedings.

I saw JB talking about her marriage once. This was just after the wedding and such. During the interview they aired a portion of the service. Each of them, bride and groom, spoke to the congergation and just about preached. Anyway during the interview she mentioned a verse in the Bible talking about marriage and working with both hands. She said that is why she wears a wedding ring and a right hand ring to signify the unity of marriage and that is takes both hands to work a marriage. I believe the right hand ring was like a 2-4 karat diamond or something. It was WAY bigger than the wedding band. Does that signify something?? NM. As it seems it also takes two hand to be worth a dime in a fight. The marriage started the same as it ended...so it seems...with both hands.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I enjoyed it too...

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

A 2Headed Monster of a marriage/worldy 'ministry' will never work., conflicts of interest do NOT a marriage unify.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

This may be presumptuous, but UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should he have hit his wife! I learned at a very young age that boys don't hit girls. I can see if he was somehow "defending" himself, maybe, but I don't believe that was the case here. How can you hit a girl?!!! And in his video, he just seemed so, I don't know how to say it, but just too smooth? glib? Man, he hit a woman used by the Lord!

So if the 2 of them were married, does that mean that JB-W was an official, "Apostolic" believer?
If yes, was she an Apostolic before marriage to him? What is her background and if she was Apostolic, is she one still?

As for JB-W, when I lived in Grand Bay, I heard that she ministered at a UPC in Mississippi or LA and that the Spirit of the Lord was so strong there, like the place was cloudy-- even messed up the recording equipment. But that was several years ago, 2002 or 2003, if it's even true. I saw a video of JB-W's last year and I thought that she had become way too extravagant in her appearance, far beyond beautifully arrayed.

I never thought I'd place her in my "Christian Entertainment" category of famous Christian folk.

In that same video, where she was extremely decadent, she was not as powerfully used of God as she was in "No More Sheets". I still listen to her 1 cd that I have as it still ministers to me. I sure would like to get, "No More Sheets" on cd to listen to.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

Youre the one coming off as sounding very judgmental and holier-than-thou here.

What do you know about Jakes life or his heart?
So the man has a large wooden pulpit in his church, and so you criticize him for his "eco-unfriendly pulpit"? Good grief.

Then you declare that he "struts around with his chest all puffed out" and refer to "I'm all that and a bag of chips thing" ?
Jakes indeed has a purposeful style of speaking, and yes,walking while in the pulpit, that'is common for preachers delivering a message. But how can you declare that he's "strutting", and "arrogant", as if you can see inside the man's mind and heart?

I'm not even a fan of Jakes, and I find your judgmental attitude repugnant.

Re: Bishop Weeks New Book "What Love Taught Me"
 

I could't agree more!!! The devil can rest they do more to hurt the church than he ever did..
