Holy War! When Televangelists Attack!

Oh my god! Pentecostal televangelist and women's empowerment lecturer Juanita Bynum was attacked at 4:00 AM in an Atlanta airport hotel parking lot -- by her estranged husband, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III! Holy s**t!

According to police, the couple fought in the parking lot until a hotel bellman stepped in and broke it up. Bynum told police that her husband "choked her, pushed her down, kicked and stomped her in the Renaissance parking lot." Lordy! TMZ spoke with the victim's sister, Tina Celeb Mugshots -- click to launchCulpepper, who said "Juanita is resting."

Miss Culpepper photographed Juanita's injuries, as seen here. Only the lord knows where Weeks is at this time.

241. Love Covers a multitude of sin.
Do not miss the point keep your eyes on God.
It's not about who did what it's about the enemy using whoever will leave a crack for him to slither his way in.
For we all have sinned a come short of the Glory of God. It does not matter about their positions in life. God is no respecter of persons. This type of thing happens every day to so many different people. That's why we all have to stay armoured up, that's why we all have to stay prayed up, that's why we all have to die daily to the flesh. It's not for us to Gossip about what happened between the two of them it's for us to stand together as brothers and sister in christ and pray for them. Because God is a mighty God and there is no problem to big that he can't solve.
Look to the hills from which cometh your help.
It's time for us to open our eyes and see evil for what it is.
The enemy doesn't care who you are.
He doesn't want to see anyone happy.
He come to Steal, Kill and Destroy.
We have to stop letting him.
God shows us our faults every day it's up to us to listen.
Proverbs 13:18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
We have to listen.

242. except for one and twos comments you all should be a shame of yourself. Just because she's a Christian, what?? they not normal humans or go through everyday problems. Yes, it is bad because he is suppose to be claiming the gospel, but he without sin cast the first stone. My prayers go out to both of them and I hope they can't get some counseling for their marriage and hopefully move on with their lives. Juanita the devil is a liar.

243. I am not goin to pass judgement on either Juanita Bynum or her husband. It is a sad day for the Church, enough is goin on and this situation only makes it more difficult to reach those in need. No man should be allowed to attack a woman like that and get away with it. On the other hand, what she (Juanita) said that added fuel to the fire is worthy of close examination as well. May God, the Church and all of us forgive them and pray for a Christian resolution that will honor the Lord.

244. I feel that we should pray first. I have seen the "little bruise!" I have seen worse bruises than that. There are two sides to every story. I have read and heard her husbands side and really it is side. For one thing is certain, the devil is on the move. In the bible it states that the devil comes in the form of an angel. We have to study ourselves to show ourselves approved to the Lord. A lot of "church goers" are not reading, to where they create these "Church celebrietes" and then begin to follow them. I understand what happened, and it is sad, but I have seen black eyes, eyes shut to where women cannot open them for 3 days. I have seen lumps and knocks. Cuts. Junita is claiming to be "the next era of domestic volience!" COME ON!!! Everybody is out to make money and it is sad and GOD is not pleased!!!! These is a silly small matter that is being turned into a OVER DRAMATIC situation for money. I am not judging neither but COME ON!!! Her husband met her there to financally support her with her upcoming conference. She called him!! So what happened, to where a fight broke out? We have to use common sense. Look at the timing, 4:00 am? Come on!!!! You can all act saved and holy but you have to have common sense!!!! So how do someone come to help you and end up hitting you. Yes, she has a minor bruise and we are all "so deeply touched by it" but what about the women in America who are "serverly beat" who are hosptialized for worser wounds? God is sick of these false preachers seeking his "hands outs" and not seeking his face!!!
God said to study and show ourselves approved. A lot of people that are coming to church are not studing the WORD and getting a TRUE REVELATION from GOD, so they follow anyone who appears annionted. diamond rings, fancy cars, big houses and not annionted. Jesus did not have any of that!!! He had one outfit which consisted of a robe, no home, and did not worry about food. HE performed mircales and signs. He touched people and made them whole. When you were touched by Jesus, you did not go back!!!
The body of Christ has became so commerical it is sad!!! All these pastor and preachers are about is money and fame, and they are going strauight to hell!!! Yes I said it. It says it in the bible. Read it!!! I feel we should pray, but what God reveals is what is done in the dark. America watch out!! God is sitting down pastors and bishops all over the world, and he is raising up a army to preach his gospel the correct way, not the "tradition gospel" I am not saying anything bad about neither one of them. All I am saying is everybody is taking her side, and down mouthing him!! That is not fair. We all fall. Instead of looking at the "abuse" (if that is what you want to call this) we need to look at it as "men and women in the pulpit are not perfect!!" Did you know that on a interview she called the body of christ "a bunch of dumb sheep?" Did you know that she "curses" while having sexual realtions with her husband? Did you know she has threw bricks at his car? Cusses him out? Come on now!! But where are so holy right!! And this came out of her mouth!!!! STOP PAYING ATTENTION TO THE WORDS AND WATCH ACTIONS!!!! I feel neither one of them are perfect and this is a wake up call for the body of chirst. QUIT BEING DECIEVED!!! If we are being decieved by this, what happens when the antichrist comes? There are people who are preaching the gosepl and are going right to hell!!!! He says that in the bible!!!! And if we are so "prophetic" did'nt people see that coming? See, we have to focus on our lives, and quit trying to follow someone elses!!!!! I am really getting disgusted with this whole matter, because it is all about money!!!! Think about it, this whole matter really is not a deep as some worser matters. This is really simple. We all know someone who has really been beat. Some of our mothers have!!! Draggged down stairs. All of what happened which Junita says happend and those are the only two little bitty bruises. We have not given this much attention to the women who really derserve it. I feel this is all a hoax, and some of this situation has
no truth to it. But who am I? I tell you one thing, I am not stupid!!!!!!!

247. In spite of it all, Juanita Bynum is the one of the greatest prophetess that has ever lived.

She needs to be nursed back to health physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Her husband, Bishop Weeks as well, needs to get some help or his weaknesses will bring him down. Where there's life, there's hope, Bishop Weeks talk to Pastor Martin Williams, Omaha, Ne, Dr. Myles Munroe- Bahamas, Bishp Tudor Bismark- Zimbawa, Pastor Creflo Dollar or/and Bishop T.D. Jakes. Excellent men who love, respect and honour their wives as they do themselves and who love their wives as Christ loved the church. SUPPORT OUR LEADERS!!!!!

248. Didin't she KNOW the man when they had that lavish wedding. Didn't she hear from God before they tied the knot. I wondered why he was never on any program with her.

249. MY COMMENTS DID NOT MAKE THE " PRINTED PAGE" (??)

250. Truly my heart goes out Juanita. Life always has something for all of us and we just never know the degree of that something. I oray that her mental as well as physical state are by now doing well. She has been through more than enough within her years upon this earth and now this appears what a shame but I say to God be the glory and yes this too shall pass.

251. I was truly in awe as I heard one person after another speak on the incedent which occured between husband and wife(tears of sadness). If we are to be forgiven then we must be able to forgive no matter what. I know that the Joy of The Lord will be their strength in this great hour of forgivness. Though many are so full of judgement let us remember there is a road that we all must travel and if we place judgement on this road we are the ones who will at some point in our very own lives have to endure a measure of judgement because we know what the bible speaks on judge not least ye be not judged for with the same measure you shall be judged. we must all offer up prayer in this hour need. we are all human and at some point in each of our lives we will fall short

252. As i've read some really crude comments, some people forget Jesus was beaten and nailed to a cross, so as many mocked him, I see those mocking Juanita Bynum. It's sad that some make humor out of someone elses beating. Just because Juanita knows who God is does'nt exempt her from life's trials. For those that know the bible John the Baptist was beheaded, Stephen was stoned, Shadrach, Meshach and Abendego was thrown in the fire(survived) and Daniel thrown in the Lion's Den (survived) all for speaking the truth. These were people who represented God. Some humans like to say that a person should see those things coming. Christians are not superhuman. Let's not forget that. Don't throw stones, because you may have some waiting to come to you.

253. there are things that we should not be lauging about.we all have times of pain in our lives and some of the comments that i see people making about juanita's attack are uncalled for.lets bear the pain with her for who know what our tommorrwo maybe.I still think she is a wonderful person.lets walk in her shoes

254. I know many things but this one thing I know 4 sure.......the enemy of God will use anyone, anything, and anyplace 2 stop His plan from succeding.....But God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the Word of God when He uses but God.....everything else is cancelled out........so Mrs.
Bynum........keep on doing what He called u 2 do..........live a life of Praise......not just saying it out of your mouth like your husband...........brother in Christ(Bishop Weeks III).......
u are still human and can be just as vunerable as the next man........you haven't arrived yet..................and I'll continue 2 pray 4 u.....

255. Who are you to Judge if someone is going to hell. On this road to righteousness as humans we are going to make mistakes. And the people who are attacked the most are those who preach the gospel. I myself have been blessed by her books, etc. Okay she's going through something. Regardless, God is still God and you can use this as an excuse not to believe in God. That's your choice. If you sit and make sport of someone else failings, you are closer to hell than that person who made the mistake. At any time they can get down on their knees and repent. Stop criticizing people, you need to check yourself.
