The lawsuits accuse Long of using his power and influence within the 25,000-member church to lure young male church members into sexual relationships. The suits allege that the relationships, which began when the men were in their teens, lasted over many months. READ DETAILS ABOUT THE SUITS

Long took the young men -- all of them teens at the time -- on trips, including to Kenya, according to the suits. Long allegedly paid for their hotel rooms, and gave the young men gifts, including a car, cash and jewelry -- all in exchange for sexual favors such as massaging, masturbation and oral sex.

The accusations were particularly controversial because Long, who is married, has preached passionately against homosexuality over the years.

This all sounds so familiar it's sad.

Yep, he should have just been a Democratic politician where they celebrate their perverts.

Hahaha! That's funny! Let's celebrate the perverts!

He said he has some rocks for his sling... but people in glass houses... I want to see the match box offer he filled in to become ordained .
Is it me... or does he look like one of the 'Village People "?

He has 25,000 followers and they are cheering for him. I guess pretty much anyone can become a priest. Got to watch out there tom-boy, you're using the "no true scotsman" logical fallacy, an ad hoc attempt to retain an unreasoned assertion.

And your's is sort of the reverse in that you paint with a broad brush in your implication .

I neither condemned or supported the guy... all I see are allegations .

It's an interesting thing however . Black ministers with radical theologies usually get a pass by the MSM.
