Bishop Weeks III Goes on BET to Defend Himself Against Prophetess Bynum's Abuse Allegations
To date, Prophetess Juanita Bynum had been doing all of the talking. She told the Christian post that she was the new face of a battered woman. Then, she went on Star Jones' TV show and talked about her continual love for her husband, but she must exit the marriage for safety. It all painted a glum picture of a spiritual woman who'd gone through a lot in the name of love. Yet, now, a different story is emerging and it's coming from none other than her alleged batterer.
Bishop Thomas Weeks III did a 30 minute segment on Sunday, January 20, 2008, on BET. It was called "Bishop Speaks." In it, he spoke as much as he could about his marriage to the prophetess and the abuse allegations. He kept some information back because of their pending court case. He had the following to say.
"She proposed to me."
Weeks' proclaims that Bynum is the one who proposed the idea of marriage. It happened after he helped bail her out of a bad situation with an upcoming conference that few women had interest in attending. She called on him due to his extensive experience in administration and with conferences. As a result, he was able to build up her attendance. They got close. Then, she asked him to marry.
"She had the message inside of her, but not the end result."
Weeks' says that he married Bynum because he thought he was getting the perfect wife. His idea was based on the type of messages she spoke about marriage and women. However, after their union, he quickly realized that the message was in her, but not the end results. He states the same was true about him. They only had the potential of a successful union inside of them.
"She married me because she needed a King to become a Queen."
Weeks' proclaims that there were certain areas of the ministry that Bynum could not enter into without being married. So she needed a man of spiritual caliber similar to hers to enter. That's why she married him. He was an integral man of God.
"When I went to visit my daughter, I'd come home to a different wife."
Weeks' says that Bynum and his daughter from a prior relationship were never close. However, the situation was compounded by the fact that they could not have children together. Bynum loves children so that really hurt her.
"I never hit Juanita."
Weeks' says he never hit Bynum and gives a different tale of the hotel parking lot event. He says that while in the parking lot, she (Juanita) tried to block him from getting into his car. She began to swing at him and he pushed her away. Then, she fell. The bellhop came up at this time and appeared violent, so he left.
He says this was not the first incident. Bynum had thrown his laptop out of a car during another incident after a Bishop's conference and then attacked him after she'd had surgery. She was the batterer, not him.
"She wants to quit preaching and be the next Oprah."
Weeks' says his wife no longer wants to preach and go on the road. She really wants to go to Hollywood and become the next Oprah at any means necessary. He believes this is why she is creating this tale about him with the help of others. She needs a focal message for her ministry along with a way to ditch him. She found it that night in the parking lot.
In conclusion, the Bishop Weeks III interview was very intriguing to the point that it makes Bynum seem like a misguided woman. Based on his word, more will come out in the future during their court hearing. It will be very interesting to see who is the lamb in sheep's clothing. Bishop. Prophetess. Or both.

Post a Commenti am a huge fan of you. when is your next project.
God is not so desperate for witnesses that he will entertain the foolishness of these two. Where do we get off thinking that leadership is exempt from it%27s own vomit%3F It will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gommorrah if Thomas and Juanita don%27t take a serious look at thier abominations%2C and quit trying to hide blantant dis-dbedience behind human accomplishment%21%21
Okay to who it may concern God is revealing to us the power of a memory card through six six six which I have only heard of it once and the New Jeruselum and the power of technology computer and a cell phone light and a bleep washer the power of a fish now do understand this revelation only comes from God and the rooten tooth and blue tooth I have no time to explain but do know Bishop Weeks I understand I know why it happen Ive been going through since I was a little girl Im still trying to discover the blood washing and the use of it and the Power of my Purple virtue that comes alone with God authority so makes me Like God that the interpretation and the reverance Im trying to get yall to discover and to stop discrations and speak life but think about the no sharing part that gives you the power to judge and the power to pick your follower its greater than Physics because that ball is the power of the mind and the heart is where your joy live and thats yellow and the green is when we
it amazing!how ever i still think that divorce is not the solution to marrital problem. 70x7 remember! i like bynum so much i even have a cd on the wedding. i'm so disappoined. they should sit and solve this problems
All i can say, lets all pray for both of them. They too have the calling of God on there lives, and the Devil wants to destroy that. Let God be the judge not us, we all belong to God. God will fix it, he,s the only one that can, all we need to do is pray.
I'm praying for you both I love you both . And always know that God sees all knows all and he's the one and only judge. Pray for me and my family. Just take it one day at a time and forgive ,I'll keep you in my prayers.

Jaunita and Thomas Weeks need to sit down because the truth of the matter is that save people do not go to the world with their problems. They suppose to take it to the Church. Also they need to be taught and stop trying to teach because thay both of out of the word and neither is preaching the truth.
Anytime you teach people to have a BULL DOG SPIRIT you are out of the word. The Word tells us to love one another also to forgive one a. By this shall all men know that you are my diciples by the love ye have one to the other.
What can this couple preach. First they must repent and get it right and do their first works over.
As for as Jaunita God did not call her to be an Oprah.That is Oprah's calling not Jaunita. She has been removed and she knows it, but will not humle her self and tell and ask God to restoration her as he needs to do. That is it.
All I know is that everyone who believes in Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit and the word of God need to be praying for all of our leaders. This is foolishness and we ALL need to, the Weeks, Bynums and all married people pray for one another and forgive quickly. Where is the Love and Compassion for one another? God is not pleased. I don't know about the bishop but prophetess is still about her Father's business and lives are be changed. We all need to careful for judgement starts in the house of the Lord. Plus, we all are human. Repent, Turn Pray and Seek the Face of God.
I agree that Weeks definitely has mannerisms that make you wonder, however in the BET interviiew he is very convincing. His version actually lines up with things Juanita has said herself over the pulpit. That makes his version more believable than hers. From day one she wanted it get out to the media, and obviously wanted to use this as a marketing tool. The sad part of this is watching what success can do to people that aren't ready for it. I remember Juanita before she blew up, and she was a different person. Very powerful, pure, and sincere. Success has created a monster. I only hope that she will go back to her first love, and find God again.
