@ccai639: Unsainted: Bishop Eddie Long: The Hypocrisy of a Megachurch Leader MILLIONS (confidential agreements). Silenced accusers, NEVER required admit wrongdoing. Megachurch pastors: preach one thing, live another. Use CHURCH MONEY make scandals disappear. Long: prominent voice AGAINST LGBTQ rights. Organized massive marches, preached homosexuality = sinful rebellion against God. Lawsuits detailed: allegedly GROOMED young men church youth ministry. Called them: spiritual sons. Used influence: COERCE sexual relationships. Scandal broke: NO transparency. New Birth paid settlements ($15-25M estimated) make accusers GO AWAY. Long: continued pastoring until death 2017. NEVER fully addressed allegations. Taught generation megachurch leaders: build church BIG enough, congregation LOYAL enough = SURVIVE any scandal. As long as: enough MONEY settle lawsuits, enough POWER control narrative. #CultLeadersYouWereToldWereSaints #ChurchFinancialAbuse #MegachurchScandal #EddieLong #settlescores
