Televangelist Bishop Thomas Weeks strangles wife Juanita Bynum
Have you heard about this? Apparently these two are big on the TV evangelism circuit, they’re married, and he beat the living crap out of her in a parking lot:
“They were talking about a reconciliation. They got into an argument. In the process of the argument, her husband walked out to the parking lot area, turned back around and started to choke Miss Bynum,” Campbell said.
“As he choked her, he pushed her down to the ground and started to kick her and also stomp on her,” he said.
And that’s not all. The idiots in his church congregation actually APPLAUDED when he came in to church. Who the hell claps for a guy who beat the shit out of his wife??!?!
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bishop Beatdown Thomas Weeks greeted with cheers and applause as he was introduced during service Sunday at Global Destiny Ministries, the Atlanta church he founded. Addressing the congregation just two days after turning himself in to authorities on the charges, Rev. Ike, I meant, Weeks said the devil was behind his current situation. He also expressed appreciation for the prayers and support he and his wife have received.
“We’ve got certain things going on right now, but I refuse to stop coming to the house God built,” he said during his brief appearance before introducing a guest minister and leaving the room.
Certain things such as….you beat your wife to a pulp? Little things like that? Well, I’m glad for him feeling like he needs to grace the church with his exalted presence.
Here’s an update from her MySpace (yep, she’s got a MySpace):
I am currently recovering from all of my injuries and resting well. There are so many great things happening for me in my future, and so much to look foward to concerning my destiny, this too shall pass. The bible says in Proverbs 4:25 “let you eyes look right on with fixed purpose and let your gaze be straight before you.”
And the guy who beat the crap out of her is still numero uno in her MySpace friends:
The sick thing is, if you go to Thomas Weeks’ MySpace, all the comments are from people saying that this is all just Satan picking on him. Apparently Satan had a deep interest in causing this loser to stomp the living shit out of his wife? Well, I can believe that. Kind of.

Well, I don’t know why Juanita married this “kid” in the first place. But I guess she was just desperate. And I have little to no respect for her, because on EVERY ONE OF HER BOOKS, there she is — a huge mug shot covering the enitre front of the book. I would like to know the title of the book instead of looking at her face??? She obviously thinks she is “something on the end of a stick” as my grandmother used to say. She is totally stuck on herself. So then I’m not surprised she married him. She thought she was really into something. She wanted the bright lights and now her lights are out!

I think that this is a very sad situation, but often times when people are in the spot light (famous) we forget that they too are people just like the rest of us ordinary folks. All this to say that no one is exempt from the problems and stresses that we all deal with everyday. We and this world are far from perfect, but it’s not up to me to judge her or her situation, or label her as coming across as “being too good” for something like this to happen in her life. I surely am not capable of “casting the first stone”

I dont have nothing negative to say but I have all rights of respest for MissBynum for God said”You shall not touch my annointing”.I believe that she will recover and she’ll have a word to tell to all those wives getting beat out there and she’ll have a testimony to share.This is only a plan of the devil himself to bring her down he thinks he’s got her and that this is the end but its just the begining .She’s gonna shine like a star in the sky because what you people think will bring her down will actually bring her up.God bless you ms. Juanita and by the way i’m only 12 years old from the Bahamas.

Hi Miss Bynum it seems to me that the devil is working and working hard. Get up, clean or dust yourself move forward, God is right by your side. At times like this when we feel so small, God is at large.Dont give the devil even an ounce of thought that he got you. He is way too far, God is right in front of you. God bless all will be well. God is in charge.

I have sat here and read all of the comments
some where good some bad. i say to those that
have to say anything to remember God with a
big G makes no mistakes.what happen was for a reason but we should not try to judge anybody.this just lets us know that we need to pray harded when things like the start happen to the people in the church thats a sign.we need to be careful what we do and say because God is soon to return let’s live our life like today is our last day. but i must say this that a prreacher at my church preached a sermon years ago THERE IS NO BAIL IN HELL. let’s repent of our sins to do them no more. no one should be mad because this did not happen to you BUt I DID HEAR Juanita THAT SHE FORGIVES HER HUSBAND ON THE CHANNEL 2 so if she forgives him then you should not have business saying some of the things you all said. be mindful others are watching you and we being children of God should be very careful what we say or do theres a big world out there looking to find mistakes in the house of God. I love you all and will be praying for both families

Sisters have been pushed down, kicked around behind closed door,by those who say they love us too long. Standup upright, open that door, you have nothing to be ashamed of. If a man will kick you in public, and blam it on the devil, “The Devil has been in control for more than one day”.Pastors
are people, but domestic violence is against the laws of God and man, no matter what your title.

To Carmen Vega. Let’s allow our young people to have a voice. These issues affect them too! Children should be allowed to air their thoughts and NOT keep silent. She sounded very articulate and I respect her for standing up for what she believes. Adult business? If a child gets slapped around is it not her business? If a child sees her mother, sister, friend, other slapped around is it not her business? Domestic violence touches many. Encourage her-don’t knock her. A gentle suggestion.

I saw Ms Bynum for the 1st time on Exaulted. She touched me, I identified with her, I cried. She it truly annointed. I do hope to hear one of her sermons again.

Let us help Juanita and Bishop Weeks put this situation behind them. Remember what Paul said to forget those things that are behind and press forward. In order for them to move forward they must get out of the past. The past is what it is, the Past. I, myself was in a similar situation like Juanita, I choose to let GO AND LET GOD. Don’t get me wrong, I am not condoning what happened, yes Thomas should be punished for what he did, but to scandalize Juanita is not fair, she was the victim. She should not be held accountable for her husband’s actions. I am totally against domestic violence. Don’t be so quick at pointing fingers, yesterday it was Juanita, today it could be YOU.

I KNOW that GOD loves Juanita and my message for her is; remember where you fail and take back your place .be aware that it will be very difficult;IT will not be difficult for God to forgive you . but the world…??? how ever God is mercyfull , he forgives. my advise to you is to forget about being famous and work for your soul NOW as a regular christian.IT will take days to regain people’s trust .middle while be sure if you die at any time you will have your place by JESUS OUR LORD. REMEMBER ONLY THOSE WHO KEEPS FAITH TILL THE END WILL HAVE PART WITH THE LORD.

TO JAYAR AND TO Z:
I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT, IT’S A FREE COUNTRY, OR DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT? SLAVERY HAS BEEN ABOLISHED. I CAN TALK NOW. I STILL SAY THE KID NEEDS TO GET IN A CHAP’S PLACE AND STAY. YOU OBVIOUSLY EITHER ONE OF YOU DON’T HAVE KIDS OR YOU WOULD SAY THE SAME THING. OR IF YOU DO HAVE KIDS, THEY PROBABLY TALK BACK TO YOU.

The whole thing grieves me, but it does`nt suprise me. There is a lot of domestic violence out there. I have been of victim of it myself. YES. A healthy grown man. The first time, I didn`t want to hit the chick back; as strong as I am i would have put her through a wall, so I just spit out the blood, and left my own place. Second time, different woman I was drunk, so I got sexually assaulted. Don1t be surprised. Happens all the time to men, we just don`t report it,but don`t toleraye anymore. No many or woman should. But not going to turn or Christianty because God uses fallable humans. In the Old Testament, King Mannaseh turned on God, burned his children on demon altars, and scholars say he was responsible for the prophet Isiah being sawn in half, yet when he repented, God accepted him. Lesson revere God, not man[or woman.]
let me tell my story
Dec 13, 2007 at 18:54
The church have longed allowed every thing under the sun to go on within the church and it is sad to say that many of these problems started years ago. My mother was abused by my father and he also cheated on her while we were in the church, she was told to pray and get counseling. A few years later he started using drugs and when he would beat her and almost killed her. Later and a whole lot later she decided to leave but he would contest that God did not like divorce so she would be in sin to get a divorce. So he called home and had asked me at the age of 16 to give my mother a message. The message stated was tell your mother to get medical attention because he was hiv positive and he believes that she has it. I lost it! My mothers knees began to buckle when I told her, she was sick for months.Her test was negative but she still remained very sick.The years of abuse was not only directed toward her but also toward me my sisters and brothers we went through hell.Our grades in school were horrible we were negelcted by the church who would just tell my mother to keep on praying and believing God he will come through.Later my father was arrested and we had time to heal and finish school not with the best grades but we all graduated. Sad to say when we got older I found out that the other members was going through the same things and some even worst.I left the church for sometime and when I returned me and a whole lot of other females came back with children and no husbands. A lot of the little boys as well as the girls came and returned alot of them was gay some due to being molested in the church by thier fathers,uncles and others as little boys and girls.You would hear slurs and negative comments mostly from the women in the church who knew them as children.And at that time many of those who had not returned became muslim as well as my little sister at age 14.Some families had it so bad they had to hide their clothing food and money because their father would steal their voluables,some even went to bed hungry because they had no food .In the early 90’s our church started an ministry to help the wives and husbands and others who contracted hiv.Don’t be fooled it still goes on in the church.And sad to say it goes on mainly in black chuches.I look today and most of us are going through the same things that our parents went through and sad to say it happens in the church under the pastors nose.And no one says a word but you know whats surprising.That when some of these cases were opened in court you saw no pastors present niether did you see any of the mothers who these woman would confide in and knew the problems that existed,so much of for the seperation of church and state, and no difference from the catholic priests. It’s time to repent

I got a message about this on a site called;’snooty gossip’. First all, gosip is satanic. It`s part of how satan decieved angels into beco ming demons. You don`t wash filthy garments with filth.I also detect some bitterness from the sender of the message, maybe even at little masgany, which is the hatred of maleness. I don`t pussyfoot around; I`m sick and tired of countryclub churchgoers pretending to be Christians whose ‘ faith’ gets weak because imposters, or people overcome with sin wind up in the church. Wanna check out what`s OUTSIDE? Any Christian that actually reads the Bible knows we`ve had these problems, and WORSE before PAul died!!Yes, we Christian must address evil, especially from amongst us, but if reached me for gossip`s sake, beware my GOD who hates gossip. Oh yeah, the Bible SAYS He does.

Where are the results of those that have experienced this situation and who is there to talk to? The father has given us those who have either experienced this situation and it is a Mandate to deal with the root of the situation. There are peoples pasts that have never been concluded and yet have spilled over either into another marriage or relationship. We’ve got to close these doors that were opened. Acknowledge Psalm 51 and support those by no longer speaking unclean words against them but gather together corporately. This indeed is a 911 clarion call. Even if they stay married or not, speak from the heavenly position and make a declaration in the earth for “ALL” the hidden to come forth so they we may acknowledge our shortcomings and rely on the greatest physician - YESHUA!!!

My sisters and brothers everyone of you has made at least one valid point, the problem is when God said 1 Peter 2:17 Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. FEAR God. Honour the king. I know he did not mean for us to hold these people as icons. What is the difference between how the world celebrates celebrities? and should any of our preachers be comfortable in that arena? Should this be in the media? what did Paul say about the ministry being blameless? 2 (Corinthians 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:) have these two become greater than the ministry of God? God forbid it to be so! the devil can only do what God allows-hence God being all powerful, God had to humble King David,Jacob,most of the men of old, so where is the story,and its importance? I pray for both but I follow NEITHER. I do not trust in horses or chariots just GOD (Psalms 20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.) ……. Paul said it so well,(1 Corinthians 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.) How many of US are just for God??? and if you answer I am, stop idolizing flesh, pray for them and follow God! - sorry if that sounds Holy… but the reason we got saved was to become just that and certainly not to be telling people to shout up, I have heard children prophesy, should I tell them not to because what God has told them is big people business- you make me glad that am british, we don’t have any celebrity christians and if we did I still not following flesh!! 2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2 Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God

This message is for Ms.Bynum;
I believe that what was done was for the purpose of the Lord our God to show how the Body of Christ his bride is being torn apart and how men and women are being verbally and mentally abused and no one is saying anything. I believe that those who sit in the pulpit and the pews are being victims of their own environment because they have no clear understanding of the word of God, “Which says in all your getting get understanding.”
