This thing is playing like a movie whose ratings range from R, to XXX. Let us be real. You would not want your children tuning in. This is for adults only!
First the Foreplay***Then the Drama***Next the Climax
And the night is still young, everyone. It is not over. Prepare for a second go at it!
Round Two - In the second round, the foreplay has been skipped. Straight to the Drama stage!
Not sure how long this will last but if you are a voyeur as most of us obviously are, grab some popcorn and pull up a chair.
Unless you are living in a cage, you must know that Juanita Bynum has filed for a divorce. And now her words on TBN make perfect sense to me: I am in my finest hour and worst hour at the same timeWhen I reported on her TBN appearance, I mentioned that she appeared settled in her mind about what her decision is going to be. She threw people off by indicating that As long as I am married,I will not break the covenant. In fact, she had already made it clear to her lawyer that she was going to divorce Bishop Weeks.
In all honesty, I cannot blame her for not wanting Weeks back. A man would have one time to put his hands or feet on me and I would never desire him or want him again. There is no excuse for that. But this is what I find disturbing though not surprising. Minister Bynum said that Weeks has pushed and shoved her before.
It is a known fact that if a man gets away with pushing and shoving, he eventually will graduate up to straight out abuse. Why did she tolerate the pushing and shoving from that immature man who ran up a $100,000 (+) debt while preaching to the church about how to relieve themselves of debt?
The Bynum and Weeks marriage was a farce from the beginning. There is a scripture in the bible that says, What is crooked cannot be made straight. It is found in Ecclesiastes 1:15. The Bynum-Weeks joining was crooked from the beginning and it will NEVER be made straight, even if they reconcile.
Facts:
1 – There are rumors that Weeks was married when he and Bynum became interested in each other. I do not yet know that to be fact. But if it is fact, their joining together is definitely crooked and will never, according to scriptures, be made straight.
2 – What I know for a FACT is that prior to their two million dollar wedding that she obviously paid for, they had already gotten married. Why do you think they got married at the courthouse? I can answer that with two words: Legal Sex
Juanita Bynum knew that if she married Weeks, it would not be considered fornication of she had sex with him. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why they did not wait for a formal ceremony. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
3. Both had been married previously and I cannot help but wonder whether or not they ever ironed out the problems that caused their first marriages to end? What is crooked cannot be made straight.
4. Very soon after getting married, she resumed life as usual, as though she were still single. She was traveling all over the world. She spoke of ministering in Africa. They were spending more and more time separated. Had she tired of him at that point? What is crooked cannot be made straight.
5. Immediately after marrying, he started his book writing campaign, as though he was using his marriage to her as a stepping stone into fame and fortune. And he started preaching on TBN. Very few people had known him. Why was he moving so rapidly? What was the rush with those two? What is crooked cannot be made straight.
6. Weeks abruptly left his church here in Maryland, and pretty much without notice. He left his congregation high and dry to move to Georgia. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
7. Obviously the Weeks and Bynum marriage had separate checking accounts because he has a tremendous amount of debt and the dept is solely in his name. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
8. Bynum has now verified what we all had inferred from the beginning: Her beating in the parking lot was not the first time he had laid hands on her. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
9. Folks still are confused about why Bishops and Weeks offered so many marriage enrichment seminars so early in their marriage, while dishing out extremely intimate information about themselves that is nobody’s business. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
10. We now know that while Bynum was still giving out marriage advice to others, she was separated from Weeks. What is crooked cannot be made straight.
11. Bynum sat on TBN and said that As long as I’m married, I will not break the covenant. Now what kind of forked tongue was that? What is crooked cannot be made straight.
And I will say it again. What is crooked cannot be made straight. The second climax has not been reached yet. Still in the drama stage. Go buy some more popcorn!

BRAVO!
BRAVO!!
BRAVISSIMO!!
Someone pass me some kool-aid, to wash down the pop-corn with.
I see an Academy Award in the making.
Seriously, am I the only one who picked up on how she down played what she called “routine blow-ups, shoving and pushing”. Basically, she was indicating that up until then, marriage was flawed by fine.
Prior to their parking lot escapades, they were on their way to divorce court. Why? Why were they separated anyway? I need to know what led up to him living in a hotel for three months. Once again Bynum has successfully skirted the issue.
Ghetto Soap Opera! This is the very reason I cannot watch her anymore. Everything you have written today is the absolute truth. I honestly use to adore her and someone really needs to tell her that she has changed into something I rather not describe. The love of money! I seen this thing with her long time ago. There is a hunger that is greater than God in this woman. Being tough does not exclude her from being removed from the pulpit either. I am disappointed because the Bynum’s in Chicago most certainly got a REPUTATION about there method of getting money. Check into it… Someone as beautiful and talented as she is, I am truly almost embarrassed for her. The arrogance of thinking you are empowering people with a mandate from God about a beat down. Since when does God, places you in harms way so that he can benefit…The Devil is a Liar! She is use to theatrics.
Unfortunately people follow her and cannot discern what she had is no more..The woman has a history of being angry too. I smelled a rat when the parking lot incident first came up. The key words in each report said “was that the man was walking away”.
I was once a battered woman. The last thing you want to do is show your bruises. I’m sorry showing the world your beat down was just a little over the top for me. Does its sounds as if she is truly interested in winning souls or helping a soul? She is not as innocent as people are wanting to believe. This woman truly wants to be famous. She loves the limelight.
Those pictures were strategies…. I am not taking her husband off the hook. His King Ahab role is just about up! Oh yes, she was very methodical but her husband was not all too blame. I have seen these conferences and I have heard them. I use to watch his face when she use to blast him in front of everyone. I mean some of the things that were said she would do to him. I was flabbergasted!
I mean two years ago I had to give her up because my own personal experiences with her ministry. I knew, how she had to be the center of attention. The integrity of her ministry went out the window with me from a lot of things “I ” witness for myself.
Is a divorce a shock? To who? They both had a history of fighting each other and she knows it. This is why these famous pictures came about. Was it less important when he beat up one of his own staff members? Find the first wife I bet she can tell you more. How come the bible changes when she is doing her thing?
She seems to forget the covenant when she is really being brought to an open shame. Watch and see, that more things about her are going to come out about her especially. If you think she is going to land on her feet well give it time…. God is going to show us all more with her and more ministries just like hers. How something so wonderful has become so tainted with scandal? It is all a farce today!
There is a video on Chelle’s blog that really captures much of what Juanita Bynum is about. Chelle has music on her blog so it’s difficult to hear what Bynum is saying. I heard the video earlier on YouTube.
Check out Chelle’s blog and if you have problems hearing the video, turn down the music that’s playing in the back ground:
http://coloredgirlswhohaveconsidered.blogspot.com/2007/09/juanita-bynumwho-is-she-really.html
@ Admin: Thanks, for the shout out. If you scroll to the bottom of the blog, you can shut the music off.
And your correct, although I don’t agree with the author of the video. I don’t believe that Weeks, was set up. However, 20/20 comes into serious play, since it was recorded 11 days before the beating. I find it extremely disturbing that she decided to put down her bible as a reference and demanded everyone quote Beyonce “to the left, to the left”( she said “don’t act like you don’t know the words”) and The Sopranos…”kill him”. EVERY word she spoke, came from Hollywood, not God. And when she said that this year was for the world, not the church and hurt makes her huge, everyone applauded. I don’t get it.
@Denise: You are not alone. This is not the ’same’ ministry (woman) I followed. She captured some many hearts. The question now, is where does loyalty end. How can anyone follow her and God at the same time.
Chelle Thx for sharing. That was SCARY. Yes Iam called by God and will give you a heavenly kiss AND THEN KILL YOU. Oh yeah, shes annointed alright, but not by God.
Check out G. Craig Lewis Blog at http://gcraige.blogspot.com/ of http://www.exministries.com titled “jezebel’s finest hour”. Excellent commentary and vision on this situation. Also check out his podcasts. It is refreshing to hear God’s word and not “anointing, destiny, purpose, mantle, deliverance”, just What God requires of man….
Welcome to HickTown, OregonSistah! This blog posted the Craige website several days ago but thanks for your offering!
Chelle, call me “Lynn”. That’s my real name. Admin is too formal.
Yes Denise some of what you say I know to be true. What did Tom do in Chi town? Umph. Yes, JB has changed from when I 1st started following her. I have seen her behind the scenes. I’m not saying she’s bad but I was surprised by some things that I heard. Yes, I think she’s headed hollywood, Yes she loves the lime light. I hope she doesn’t forget her 1st calling. A few friends of mine have noticed how she’s changed since she married Wesly.Thats when I started to loose interest in her conferences. You are absolutely correct they have been battling since day one.We will see what the outcome will be. Anybody know where the Bently and the Mabach are?? Living in a hotel huh? I wonder what Teshana thinks about all of this. Remember her? She got fired from JB’ ministry.
I was told today that Wesley has preached the last 2 Wed. nights in Deluth. Still no apology and no explanation as to why they almost got “locked out” of the church. some people are quite upset and have left his ministry. It’s going to interesting to see the outcome of the matter.
I just listened to the two videos. All I can say now is wow!Suggestions “to slit throats, too suburb, not ghetto enough, stare people down”. Not one biblical reference. She reminds me of ghetto bully girls growing up who gained what she wanted through intimidation and fear. She reminds me of someone who would beat you up for your lunch money:) She would never be a person I would want to have as a friend or acquaintance whether she was a preacher or not.
I am waiting to see how this plays out tomorrow. I think he is due in court on Friday
Just getting to login to get my daily fix (smile). Seems Juanita is not being honest regarding this situation. She used her time on TBN not to minister to other hurting/abused women but to attempt to boost her new mantle “the face of domestic violence”. Yeah right. If you are the face of domestic violence, then you need to come correct, meaning honest about the signs of domestic violence and call it what it is “abuse” not an “accident”. You can’t play both sides of the fence, “I won’t break the covenant”, the covenant was already broken when he laid hands on you. Use the time on TBN to encourage other hurting women to take action to get themselves and in many cases their children out of abusive relationships.
That video was bizarre! She actually told those folks to be like a bulldog. People have always said she was ghetto, but this seals it for me. I can’t stand people who want to get all up in your face being confrontational. How are you going to encourage your flock to be aggressive and cutthroat? This is not a Fortune 500 company! Talking about you have to be able to murder folks wihout being emotional. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and think that she was talking about killing as a metaphor, but it was very inappropriate. And whatever happened to humility?
All of this is getting more disturbing as we see it roll out. Now we have a huge television campaign and going on Oprah to become the face of domestic violence. This is too off balanced in the sense that there seems to be a lack of emotions displayed. I can remember showing more sorrow in my peronal situation for something far less serious as this attack. Something is not adding up and there is a huge piece of the puzzle missing but Oprah, watch out, Juanita can be sitting in your chair next…
@ Lynn HICK TOWN is too addictive!(smile) Listen up, Everybody is definitely on point. All it takes is word of mouth. People are not going to play dumb too much longer. I have seen her on TBN and she would absolutely take over even as guests are trying to speak. Most men and women of God knows that this woman is not kind.
@Ginny I knew too many members that were duped at New Wine in Chicago.I think NBC investigated this one…Most of them that attended were bewitched as well. Now Jezebel can be a man or a woman. The majority of the time it is a woman. It is a deceptive spirit…it can change into one form or the next.
@Orengonsistah your comments were absolutely hilarious… but is also so true… She really thinks she is in the hood talking to the church. Some things can’t seem to die. She is angry woman herself. I have never a humble side to her, if you noticed she was always trying to fit in to get in. She is always saying “your looking at her too strong”. I am like well you are looking the say way. lol
@Justme she even got women saying this crazy stuff. I thought it was just me not agreeing with her metaphors. The bible state be wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove. I honestly believe she thinks her since of rawness is no more than a smoke screen to keep you off of her. You see, when you stayed in the ghetto the idea of surviving was that you must not let them sense fear or who you really are… She has taken this to another level. Remember the key to really looking at her is to listen what she never says and most of the time she calls being transparent is call talking too much. There is a struggle consistently that is going in inside of her and unfortunately FLESH WINS!
If you call yourself training for reigning first of all the Love Walk has to be perfected. Strength is misinterpreted for being outspoken when in fact, she has never learned that most communication is not always talking but listening.
@Chelle the person we use to really enjoy is no longer there! You know some of the most dangerous men and women are people who once knew God intimately. Satan was one of them!
@Lynn: thanks, will do.
@ Cop: You are the reason why I’m not allowed to read Hicktown at work. Too funny!
@ oregonsistah: You hit the nail on the head. She reminds me on a special Dateline had for parents, on how to instruct their children to deal with bullies.
@ AJ and JustMe: That’s my point, not only no one is questioning her threats from the pulpit. She’s not be held accountable for the church beatdown cover up or the mis-leading conferences.
@ Denise: I understand this, I truly loved and still love Juanita Bynum. I have to use wisdom, you are correct satan did turn against God. I can’t lie, this hurts because I don’t see her coming back anytime soon.

Nice website Ms. Hick I was linked here from independent conservative. Anyway this Bynum situation is fascinating for me. Sad to see domestic cruelty albeit amongst Christians. Kind of a shame. I personally have never liked Bynum or should I say I have never liked her style or theology because I have always felt she was leading women(especially so called christian black women)astray with ghetto theology.
Looking at my mother and sisters(not saying they are any standard) salvation should bring about a grace and calm demeanour even under pressure not a rough and tumble style.
As for those who think these exposure will “open her followers eyes” Think again. Like the followers of Jim Jones they will follow till they drink the coolaide of death.
God is pulling the covers off these so called preachers. They are maniuplators, deceiving and they all for a show and money. They ought to be a shame preaching God’s words and not walking the word themselves. They live better than their congregation lives.
Welcome to HickTown, Redman and Wendy. Hopefully you will stop in regularly to check out our community.
BTW…my name is “Lynn Green”. Please call me Lynn
Ok Ms. Lynn I also listened to some of your interviews today. Keep it up.
Thanks for the encouragement, Redman!

I would like your thought seeing we are in Bynum/Weeks topic.
I know God hates divorce etc. My question is this. If a marriage is caustic(even if it has not gotten to point of physical) isn’t there wisdom in walking away even if you have to endure “Judgement” and Criticism?
Does it have to come to “Such a time as this” for one to make a decision.
I have my ideas …. but need other opinions
Redman,
I definitely believe that it’s okay to separate in cases where you feel threatened. Remember that Bynum was separated from Weeks.
I am talking about just calling it a day and taking your loss. Why does it have to come to a beatdown so that “saints” can be satisfied there is just cause?
I guess what I am trying to ask is does it have to come to disgrace to call it a day? Which is not to say we should be flippant.
I feel sorry for Ms. Bynum. The fact I consider her to a false teacher and money grubber does not make me lose compassion for her.
I do however have compassion for Bishop We(a)eks. Wish he had more self control but it must be so hard living with a provocateur. I am pretty sure she told him everything to cut him to size from his broke pocket to God knows what else.
Also if someone supposedly has a history of tantrums and anger, why be alone with him unchaperoned at 4 am? Maybe….. and just maybe …… Who knows.
