Eddie Long Accusers Keep Speaking Out, In Spite of Financial Consequences
by Kirsten West-Savali
When Jamal Parris and Spencer LaGrande(pictured) sat down for an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, they stepped into a harsh spotlight that will follow them for the rest of their lives. They are two of the brave young men who, along with Maurice Robinson, Anthony Flagg, and Centino Kemp, accused Bishop Eddie Long,the pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, of s****l abuse.
In the extremely vulnerable and candid conversation, they explained how an alleged “Man of God” manipulated them into unhealthy dependent relationships as children — relationships that turned s****l at their individual ages of consent.
I cannot get the sound of his voice out of my head, and I cannot forget the smell of his cologne, and I cannot forget the way that he made me cry when I drove in his cars on the way home, not able to take enough showers to get the smell of that man off my body, says Parris, 24.

I hear you loud and clear Jazzwatch….
I love it when somebody comes accross the blog post, and don’t sugarcoat bullshyt all the d**n time, because all this d**n Eddie Long Bullshyt is so d**n sicken to my spirit. Sometimes I feel like this d**n fool Eddie Long is gettin away with what he has done, his filthy low-down dirty, unrepentive, belly crawlin rattlesnake a*s makes me sick to my stomach, and I’m an X-COGIC kid (Church of God In Christ), my father was an assistant pastor until the day he died. Two days before my dad died I showed him the website called: reportcogicsexualabuse.com and he cried… he gave up the ghost 2 days later.
My parents had put too much power and money into that filthy evil-a*s corporation. Today none of me and my brothers or sister are participators at any church, except one, and he says everything he sees in them are corrupt. I haven’t been a participant of any church in over 7yrs or longer, because they scare the shyt out of my spirit-man forreal…
** God told me 3 1/2 yrs ago there would be a great fallin away from the church… God said: “THEIR LEAVING THE CHURCH, (THEIR “not leaving” (ME)”….
See Ezekiel 34:10 I now consider you shepherds my enemies, and I will hold them responsible for what has happened to my flock…
Do yourself a favor and read that whole chapter, then turn over to Matthew 23 and read the whole chapter (Jesus Warns The Religious Leaders)…. Oh boy its too deep, especially if your spiritually focused and your eyes are truely open to hear what the spirit of God id saying to his church aka: the people, his chosen ones (African America etc…)
