Atlanta’s Controversial Minister Eddie Long’s Dramatic Weight Loss Raises Eyebrows

Scandalous church pastor Eddie Long has shed alllllot of weight in about a 2-3 month span.

Last time he was in the news he was accused of taking the church’s money to fund his down low lifestyle with male parishioners of his mega church, New Birth.

Well now his critics are crying foul again, but this time questioning how he could drop so much weight in such a short period of time and leading to the notion that the big money minister doesn’t look healthy.
I’ll let you be the judge & jury of that.

Eddie Long drops 30lbs (or more) after changing his diet.

According to MediaTakeOut:

Bishop Eddie Long is a popular MEGACHURCH pastor from Atlanta, who was caught up in a gay/pedophile scandal a couple of years back. Multiple teenage boys from his church claimed to have been involved in physical relationships with the Pastor.

It was not clear whether the relationships began when the teenagers were over the age of consent in The State Of Georgia, which is 16. Bishop Long was never charged with any crime, but it was a salacious scandal.

Anyways, now fast forward until yesterday. Check out these new pics of the pastor who lost a GANG of weight. He claims the weight loss is due to a raw food diet.

We hope that’s all it is. Cause to us it looks like he got something only prayer can cure.

So what do YOU think of Eddie Long’s rapid weight loss? He and thee Reverend Al Sharpton must have the same errrrrrrrr, diet.

I had the chance to witness Eddie Long in action as a guest speaker at my church right before the gay/pedophile creep scandal surfaced back in 2010-2011.

For the record, I personally found him to be one of the most arrogant preachers that I have ever seen in my life. He spoke of himself in 3rd person and insisted that the congregation “stand and worship” him when he stepped into the room.

That day I formed an opinion of Eddie Long, and it wasn’t a particularly holy one.

When the gay scandal broke I was not surprised that he was cocky enough to think he could do the things he was being accused of and get away with it. From my observation the man thought he was God. I didn’t respect that.

WATCH: A Heartbroken Father Confronts His Son’s Killer In Court

In this heartbreaking video, a father’s emotions are uncontainable when his son’s cold blooded killer pleads “insanity” during sentencing and requests to be sentenced to a mental hospital instead of prison. 

The father of the victim couldn’t contain himself and began screaming at the killer, eventually having to be taken out of the courtroom. 

It’s really sad to see families of these kinds of crimes trying to pick up the pieces from the loss of their loved ones. Especially from senseless crimes. 

Hopefully this killer’s plea was rejected & he was sentenced to rot in jail. Join the discussion. 

WATCH: Lil Meech, Son Of Black Mafia Family’s Big Meech, Speaks On His Father’s Legacy 

Check out this interview with Lil Meech, son of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, of the notorious Black Mafia Family.

Lil Meech currently resides in Miami, Florida with his mother whom he says home schools him. He admits that due to his father’s notorious reputation, he has a hard time while attending public schools because he is targeted and accused of having too much influence, just like his dad.

In the first segment of the interview, Lil Meech discusses his relationship with his father prior to incarceration. Since his father’s incarceration he says he speaks with him “every 2-3 days” and also keeps in touch via emails.

He clarified the rumors of his father being pardoned by President Obama, stating that the rumors are simply “not true.” He does however anticipate his father “coming home soon” due to new laws that the Obama administration is putting into play for non violent drug offenders.

He also speaks on his relationship with rapper and former BMF affiliate, Jeezy, whom he refers to as “family” and his uncle.

Overall it’s a great interview and Lil Meech is a well spoken young man who seems to have a good head on his shoulders. I’m sure he makes his daddy proud. Check it out and join the discussion.
