Bishop Prophet H. Walker of True Light Pentecost Church in Spartanburg, S.C. plans to rally at Georgia's state capital to call for Long's resignation

Ummmm (a) that's hilarious (b) I think the writer meant capitol, with an "o" and (c) why on earth is he rallying at the Capitol anyway??  :-\ This isn't a legislative issue, it's a body of Christ, or more specifically, a New Birth issue. Rally there, if you must rally at all.  :-\ 

This guy is just looking for press.  ::)

How 'bout we, as an LGM family, all go to this rally and...uh...just to be funny...

...as soon as he starts talking, we start to look for something else?

Indeed.  How come my local news was just reporting it THIS morning, lol!  Nevada sho' don't care; too busy with gambling and legal whorehouses, I suppose.  They don't stay too up on what the church is doing.

So a pastor in South Carolina is calling for Long's resignation and it decided to do a rally to, "support the integrity and character of the Christian faith" because of Bishop Long's story.

That maxum is true, but someone has to throw stones from a  glass house.  We are all in glass houses, but there are some things we can't let people do. There are lines we can't let people cross.  Sometimes, someone has to say, no. We don't need to let people knowingly insult the pulpit from which they preach and say, it is not my business. Prey on our youth and say it is okay.  Just because they are charismatic, good orators and popular.   The man should at least be able to say, I didn't do it.  If he did do it, he should come down or be brought dowm.  Will we allow that some of our houses are all glass, and some have some wood?

IMO, the best way to not cross that line is to remove the guilty from temptation and positions of power, and the church rarely seems ready or able to do that. Second best is to warn families and children NEVER to be alone with them.

That being said, the facts in this case seem muddled and unclear. No one is saying doing wrong is okay - but...where's the proof? The 'blue dress' as it were. All there is so far are the accusers/victims' accounts and some "hmm" photos that could have been phoned from the accused or stolen from him during a break-in. The person accused could deny until the cows came home, and some would take it as a sign of guilt, just as others would support him no matter what.

The Bible does mention truth being established by multiple witnesses...

What annoys me is that he choose now to do something like this.  Had this never happened there would be no rally, and character and integrity will STILL be a problem in the Church and he probably would have never given it a second thought.  If somebody YPJ wanted to do a "Stand for Holiness" rally or even a rally like what this guy is doing I would be convinced that it would have been done with or without the Bishop Eddie Long story because that's just what he's about.  While the story may come up at the rally it wouldn't be the cause (or at least not the sole cause) of it.

It's OFFICIALLY dismissed.

I'm totally confused about why a person with that kind of authority would settle out of court when he says he didn't do what he was accused of. Oh well, it's over now :-\

I guess since it was settled out of court, I don't view it as really being dismissed. I think  a lot of people feel that innocent people just don't settle out of court...especially without kicking and screaming.
