This should be one of the last postings on the Weeks/Bynum affair.
His press conference gives a bit of insight into their relationship, her attitudes, and what may have happened.
It appears that it is now a case of “He Said - She Said.” She says he beat the crap out of her. He says he didn’t.
The drama continues.
Take a listen to the YouTube posting below and see what you can get out of it.
Take a look over at IndependenConservative. He has a set of vids from a Junie B interview/press conference. Take a look at the interview parts and read his summary.
I’m going to suggest that some one who was really pursuing God doesn’t turn on a dime like this; even if they do get the crap kicked out of them.
A couple of blogs are actually pushing the idea that she set the poor Punk up to begin with - that it just got a little out of hand when the thrashing started. I hate to say it, but that really doesn’t sound that far-fetched.
It’s official. Juanita Bynum (aka Junie B) just, as the phrase goes, turned on a dime. According to Junie B, she is going to be the face of the Beatdown. She’s going from the Prophetess and Judge who runs the “Teach Me How to Love You (TMHTLY)” scam to Evangelist Bynum, running the new and improved conference called the “Teach Me How to Avoid the Beatdown.”
But at least she is consistent. I mean think about it. She and the Punk had been married fro two years when they started the marriage scam. And they started their marriage with a huge amount of publicity and glamor.
This abuse “ministry” is starting two weeks after the beatdown. The seminal event was marked by spectacular publicity. No glamor, but a lot of publicity.
To understand what I’m saying, you have to look at it in the spirit (a little WoFer lingo for you there).
Both of her ministries have the number two associated with them (two years and two weeks). I could say there were actually three Weeks, but I try to avoid really bad puns.
As any of the pimps will tell you, the number two is the number of increased blessing. Elisha had a double portion of Elijah’s anointing. An elder is due a DOUBLE portion of honor and Job got back double of everything he lost.
So obviously, Junie can count on twice as much business with the spousal abuse gig she’s about to start as she did with the the TMHTLY scam she had going till the Bishop put the kibosh on it.
I love capitalism. Make the sheeple think you are giving them what they crave and they’ll beat a path to your door with all their wool already bagged for you.
I’m not one to take a great deal of pleasure in the failings of another person. In fact proverbs says that we are not to rejoice in iniquity (Prov 17:5). However, I am pleased to see that God is faithful to His word.
Often, the railers who comment on this site, those who tell me that I am putting my mouth on God’s anointed, give the subjects of this site near-God status. The sheeple are willing to allow themselves to be taught by a bunch of perpetrators. They refuse to see that these supposed Mend of Gawd are no more special, no more anointed than the rest of us. In some cases, you shouldn’t trust these leaders to watch your lunch bags in the break room.
This article ripped through the internet yesterday. Pulpit-Pimps was down all day yesterday so I’m sure most of you have already seen it. Take a look at it if you haven’t.
Bynum/Weeks fans have got to be in a quandary. How many times have we been told that Bishop Weeks is a anointed Mand of Gawd? It turns out that he is (as IC says) a punk. Only punks beat up on women, no matter how irritating that woman may be. Some of the bruises and contusions Weeks left on her were no small matter.
Of course, something like this doesn’t happen over night. You don’t go from being a couple who can teach people how to love their spouses to Bag Puncher and Punching Bag overnight. You don’t go from giving your husband romance (versus sex) to giving him a target for a drop kick between sitting down at the dinner table and having leaving a tip for the waiter.
I do not have an easy life. And I have made mistakes that have damaged my relationship with my wife. As most of you know, my wife attends First Baptist Church of Glenarden and I attend another church. We don’t see eye-to-eye on various doctrinal issues. We are not always that great a witness to the world around us. But in all the time we have been married, I have never so much as called her a name. I certainly haven’t done her any violence. Compared to Christ, I fall way short. Compared to Punk Weeks, I should start my own talk show, specializing in relationships. At least I have learned from my mistakes. And at least we have been honest about it with the rest of the world. We are what we are.
Mrs. Weeks and Punk Weeks are apparently nothing like what they have attempted to appear to be. And do you know what we call that? It would appear that we have here a classic case of hypocrisy.
We’ve often compared the WoFer leaders to the Pharisees, men who laid tremendous burdens on the people around them, yet had no intention of adhering to those same standards. Mrs. Weeks and the good bishop, it would seem, have been doing exactly that.
I feel sorry for the couple, especially Punk Weeks. But I suspect this might be a particularly good teaching moment for the two of them. After all, once you hit bottom, you are a lot more likely (within the context of God’s sovereignty) to listen to what people are saying rather than listening to your own press releases.
But more than that, this might be an opportunity for the people suffering from Battered Sheeple Syndrome to at least begin to see that these people are not all that, not even a bag of chips.
Talk to your sheeple friends and help them to see the total vacuousness of these exposed clods. And if TBN and others continue to hold Mrs. Weeks up as an example, make sure your friends understand the implications of that action. I mean for crying out loud - she’s a prophetess. Shouldn’t she have seen that whoopin’ coming?
I’m not out to destroy Mrs. and Punk Weeks. They are in the hands of an angry and sovereign God. All I ask is that none of mine get dragged down the rat hole while the exposure runs its course. Besides, at the rate they’re going, they are doing a fine job of destroying themselves.
Oh, and who wants to bet that some of the sheeple won’t come to this site and complain about me putting my mouth on the Womand of Gawd? They likely still will not see that a prosperous life, a life pleasing to God, has nothing to do with listening to the rantings of a couple who have as apparently a caustic and violent relationship as theirs.
As James said, if you lack wisdom, ask God (not Punk Weeks) for it and He will supply it to you with out upbraiding (or a right cross). (James 1:5)
Last thing: have you ever heard the definition of mixed emotions? That’s what you feel as you watch your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your brand new Lexus.
If Punk Weeks is a Mand of Gawd, are people putting their mouths on him if they say he touched God’s anointed and did her harm? Are they going to see that this is probably a more accurate use of that phrase than the usual way they present it? Nah - I’d be dreaming if I thought that would happen.
Would you like to hear pure distilled Christo-babble? As a treat, I’ve provided in one spot the entire “Juanita Makes Rambling and Generic Prophecies About 2006″ for your entertainment. They are displayed in order.
Each segment is about ten minutes long. To save you some time, I recommend you go to segment number 2. By this segment she has figured out that the people in the audience are dumb enough to accept whatever she says, and she does come out with some doozies. (more…)
Almost ten minutes of this worthless video and I learned the following:
1. I have POWER (I hope her vocal chords are okay)
2. A neat Holy Ghost three-step that I can safely do in high heels
3. I got It (whatever “It” is)
4. Jesus is alright
And this is by the woman who claims to be a prophet of God. So how come none of her stuff is as useful as Isaiah’s, or Ezekiel, or Daniel. Okay, I’ll give her a break. How come none of her stuff is even as useful as Habakkuk’s information?
They danced around. They shouted - no, they screamed, they had the women in the audience jump around, scream and repeat after them. What, exactly was the purpose of the 8 and one half minutes of air time? And is this what we can count on at “Sisters in the Spirit” comference?
And tell me again why they have the unsaved sponsoring the program (click here). Can’t God pull it off by Himself?
I’m starting to feel a bit like Cassandra. But that’s okay. If nothing else, I get practice wording this message until I get it right.
Take a look at the e-poster from Greater Grace Temple below. Click on it to get an enlarged image.
Who do you see? There’s Noel “The Weasel” Jones, Juanita Bynum, and Bishop Paul Morton. You might, at this point, ask: “So?”
This e-poster is significant because Noel Jones is Oneness - that is, he denies the Trinity and adheres to a Jesus only teaching. Bishop Morton, on the other hand is ostensibly Baptist and adheres to a Trinitarian doctrine. Despite the desire to love one another, these two doctrinal views are not compatible. They are mutually exclusive. And each considers the other heretical. Unless of course they want to work together to fleece the poor sheep who trust them.
I can’t say for certain that Ms. Weeks is Oneness, but her husband is. It seems unlikely, given this, that she is Trinitarian in her view. Remember, she “ministers” with him all the time. Double-teaming the flock so to speak.
The nature of the Godhead (Trinitarian vs Oneness) is an essential divide in Christianity. It is not in the “let’s set this aside so we can get along” category. If a person rejects the Trinity, he rejects Christianity, even if he continues to call himself a Chrstian. If he rejects the Trinity, he rejects historic Christianity. Those who would profess CHristianity and a Trinitarian view of the Godhead should not fellowship with these in light of 2 John 10, 11. We are not to receive such a one. And we are not to give him a greeting.
While I certainly can’t judge a man’s heart, I have to figure one of two things: wither Morton is incredibly ignorant and doesn’t understand the importance of the Trinitarian doctrine (though he has a doctorate from Call Me Doctor University), or he is incredibly careless in his associations.
I find it difficult to believe that Morton doesn’t know that Jones is Oneness, or that Bishop Weeks is Oneness. I also have a difficult time believing that Morton doesn’t understand that the doctrine of the Trinity is one of the cornerstones to Christian doctrine. But if he doesn’t understand that, he certainly shouldn’t be a “bishop” and that anointing he claims to have in such profundity certainly isn’t helping him stumble into the truth. Instead, it seems to be pulling him further into compromise and outright error.
I doubt if Bynum and company are even saved. Generally, Oneness practitioners promote a works-based economy for salvation. And despite a person’s sincerity, if they come to God offering Him something in exchange for salvation, they are not in faith trusting in God’s grace and are trying, even in some small way, to earn their salvation. And of course, efforts to earn your salvation are doomed to failure.
And if Noel Jones is sincere in his Oneness position, why is he having anything to do with Morton? The only conclusion I can reasonably come to is that each of them finds the other useful. Noel Jones can draw the Oneness crowd. Ms. Bynum-Weeks can draw a predominately female crowd. And Paul Morton can certainly draw the Trinitarian/Baptist crowd. The winner in this entire ecumenical goat rope ? Ellis.
All told, he will be able to pull a huge number of people through the Greater Grace doors. Once they are there, Bishop Ellis has the opportunity to get them to come back. And since the crowd will have demonstrated they don’t place doctrine anywhere near the top in importance, he can say whatever he wants and they won’t pay the least bit of attention. They just enjoy the music, get their praise on, and throw money in the coffers. These are the kinds people pimps want in their churches. Then Mr. Ellis has more money to bring in more people who, in the last analysis, will have missed the truth of the Gospel and settled for playing at church.
And we won’t even mention the collections Greater Grace will take up during the three-day conference, while the people are all wound up.
By the way, did you notice the topics being covered by the conference? They’re training pastors in such things as:
While none of these are automatically bad, isn’t it interesting that the conference doesn’t offer anything in the way of developing effective sermons, establishing an environment for effective discipling, or encouraging the congregation to live a holy and acceptable life (Romans 12:1,2)?
Ladies and Gentlemen, once again you have been a great deal of help in getting information out about the pimps and pimpettes out to take advantage of the average Christian. A reader sent in this link (www.bishopweeks.com) and asked you to take a look at the site. I, being the curious individual I am, gave the site a visit and poked around a bit. I found the following in an article describing the good bishop. It’s the last part of the listing that is most interesting. (more…)
I keep telling all of you who will listen, that the Band of Brothers and Sisters in the “Full Gospel” circles are out for themselves. They do and say what ever will lift them up. They don’t care about following Jesus Christ in spirit or in truth. They don’t give a rat’s tail of attention to the ESSENTIALS of the faith. Their only criteria for evaluating a religious personality is to see how much money they can bring in to the organization and how much the personality’s appearance will help their attendance. Here’s a posting on Bynum from earlier this year. A case in point: Prophetess Juanita Bynum Reeks — I mean Weeks. And notice who she associates with. (more…)
Normally, you would expect a prophet to speak about God and our need to turn away from ungodliness. You would expect a prophet (okay, or a prophetess) to correct and scold those who are not being obedient to God in their day to day living. You might even expect a prophet to rail against ungodly behavior and encourage us to live righteous lives. That’s what you would expect. (more…)
