Holy War! When Televangelists Attack!

Posted Aug 23rd 2007 1:14PM by TMZ Staff

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.

17. #3...the film has already been made, "Madea's Family Reunion". I feel sorry for this woman. No one deserves to be attacked like that. You shouldn't condemn her religous beliefs based on this. She is not at fault.

20. I’ve seen on TBN. The only problem I have with her is that she calls herself Prophetess Juanita Bynum. You would think if that was really legitimate, then she would have been able to foresee that she was in danger of getting beat up by her husband. I wish her well and hope that she presses charges against him.

21. Miss Cleo say this would happen. Don't nobody listen to Miss Cleo.

22. Satan is busy and his job is to try and pull down the powers in the kingdom. Don't loose focus on what is really happening in he spiritual; realm...it can happen to the holiest and the righteous. Keep your eyes to the hills.... sister Bynum and Brother Weeks need the prayers of the righteous not their condemnation.

23. To God Be The Glory for the Things He Has Done. Evang. Bynum is strong anointed woman of GOD and I know she will be alright. Just because she is anointed does not mean that she is invincible nor her husband. We need to just pray that GOD will bless. I read other comments and most of those people sound carnal. Life and Death is in the Power of the tongue and we need to speak life about the situation for GOD to bless it. If we speak negative then the enemy will take that and run with it and we dont want that to happen. Pray their strength in the LORD. Thank GOD for JESUS.

24. Juanita keep your head up.No woman deserves to be abuse and know that their are people praying for you and with you.

25. I wonder if they will have to issue refunds for that OVERPRICED "Teach Me How to Love You" crap seminar or will they get a pass by blaming the Devil, whom no-one wants to go visit and ask for retribution for all their life's struggles.

26. Ya Know, it always amazes me how people are fine as long as someone is encouraging them to be empowered, "keep it real", but just as soon as they need encouragement those same people are just waiting to "see" instead of praying.

The office of Prophecy does not operate for self purpose, that's called fortune telling, ya know, witchcraft. So I hope that answers your question "V".

The enemy desires to discredit the anointing of God's people so they can no longer draw sinners to the kingdom, do not be fooled by his latest tactic, diversion.

May all of those that are permitted to the throne of God continue to pray for Prophetess Bynum and all others should remember tht the bible says that any tongue that rises up against thee (the righteous) shall be cut off.

27. Juanita we are praying for you and your husband both that GOD be glorified in the situation. Every reader needs to understand that we all have a Juduas in our lives as CHRIST had a Juduas. None of us are exempt. So please, lets not take this and let Satan use it against GOD, Juanita and her husband. It could have been u or me. Let prayer go forth.

28. I was an abused Pastor's wife. But, I learned to fight back. He never stopped preaching. I'm no longer married to him. Leave him Juanita. He will continue to hurt you. Run girl run

30. Juanita needs to stop living a lie and come out of that situation. The truth has finally been revealed. It is time to move on. Being single, happy and safe is so much better than this.
