Eddie Long's Zombie Church Members stauchly stands by his side


This is some true brainwashing right here. The members of Eddie Long Stroke's church don't think he would touch those boys.

The Lithonia-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church said in Monday's filings that it "understands that Bishop Long often shared hotel rooms with members of the congregation" while traveling. But it neither admitted nor denied a series of specific allegations by the four who say Long used his spiritual authority to coerce them into sex.

The church did, however, say in a blanket statement that it "does not believe Bishop Long or any of its agents or employees engaged in the conduct alleged by the plaintiff." And it denied allegations that the church knew of Long's "sexually inappropriate conduct" and did nothing to warn or protect the plaintiffs.

The response comes a week after Long denied the allegations for the first time in a court filing, saying he was only a mentor to the men who sued him in DeKalb County State Court. He said in the filings that the men's claims are not true.

You can't tell me that no one will come forward. Seriously, they can't be this wrapped up? Goddess, this so ridic!
