Now comes the news that the televangelist, known for her fiery and frank sermons about women's empowerment have won her a national following, got the crap beat out of her by her husband who's also a minister!
Atlanta police say Bynum, became the victim of domestic abuse after her husband, Bishop Thomas Weeks, savagely beat her in a hotel parking lot Tuesday night-Wednesday morning.
Bishop Thomas Weeks
It has also come to light that Rev. Bynum and Bishop Weeks are in the middle of a separation. Apparently the two agreed to meet in the dining room of the Renaissance Hotel near Hartsfield-Jackson airport to try and work out their differences.
The meeting reportedly did not go well and ended with Bishop Weeks leaving abruptly. Reverend Bynum followed him to the parking lot where the two exchanged words, says a Bynum relative.
Then, according to an Atlanta Police Department report, Weeks allegedly attacked her. In a statement to police, Bynum said Weeks, "choked her, pushed her down, kicked her and stomped her in the Renaissance parking lot."
A bellhop at the hotel saw the attack, stepped in and stopped it, says officer Ron Campbell of the APD.
Rev. Bynum was taken to a local hospital and treated for multiple bruises and swelling. She's being kept an undisclosed location.
At HOUSE press time, police were searching for Bishop Thomas Weeks

That is terrible!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen all the websites and comments on this story. What i`ve read has hurt my heart that so many so-called belivers are saying good for her and putting them down. First, they are humans with imperfections just like you and me!! Second, our eyes should not be on anyone but God. If this has shaken your faith, i can tell you that your faith really wasn`t in christ it was in people. Peter who walk with jesus even cuss and said i don`t know this man. Jesus restore him and said on this rock i will bulid my church. Our faith is not in anyone but our savior. Maybe this is a wake up call to everyone that we took our eyes off our savior and put in people. Now instead of getting on our knees and pray for her and him we are being hypocrits and acting like we are better than them. We are humans and we are belivers that need Jesus just as much as the next person. So if i could just add this my heart goes out to her and him in much prayer that this present time of suffering shall not be compared to the glory that shall be reaviled in God`s Church (we his children)
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard the news, I thought it was a rumor and that this couldn't possibly be true. After several hours had gone by, numerous believes were buzzing about the same incident thus I knew there must be some truth to the story. My comments are to all believers, Ms. Bynum and her husband: The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. None of us are exempt. This unfortunate incident could happen to any of us because Satan is always on his job. Many are making assumption about what happen, some may be pointing fingers and judging one or both of the spouses because of the titles they hold in the Christian Community. However, the important thing to remember is that God is in control. The enemy may have meant this incident for bad, but God can turn this situation around for His good. I pray that in time Ms. Bynum will use this experience to speak to abused women and men around the world telling them about the goodness of Jesus and how he brought her through this difficult time. So many people are impacted by domestic violence but very few people want to discuss it. I wish Ms. Bynum a speedy recovery and healing in her heart, mind and spirit so that she can forgive her husband for his actions and continue to best the best that she can be though the help of Christ. Justice will be served exactly the way God intends for it to happen. By the way, I too was a victim of domestic violence and I am a witness that God can heal, deliver, and set free. I freely speak to young women about choices and remindingthem t put God first. Remember, with God, all things are possible.
ReplyDeleteIn the comment of the police he states that both Bishop Weeks and Juanita tried to work things out! However; The meeting reportedly did not go well and ended with Bishop Weeks leaving abruptly. Reverend Bynum followed him to the parking lot! Now that's what I can't understand? I believe that the brother was trying to leave peaceful at that time. Maybe he felt that if they couldn't act reasonable and talk things out, I'll just leave! After he left the scene, why did Sista girl run out behind him? I'm not saying that what Bishop Weeks did was acceptable because it wasn't! But i do believe that maybe if she didn't run behind him, all of this could have been avoided!! According to the write up it stated that the two exchanged words, says a Bynum relative. afterwards; In a statement to police, Bynum said Weeks, "choked her, pushed her down, kicked her and stomped her in the Renaissance parking lot." A bellhop at the hotel saw the entire thing. But let's be honest plain and simple If Juanita would have never ever came out into the parking lot to continue the converstation I don't believe that it would have went this far! I know that we are human but also as christian's you don't put your business out in the street for everyone to see! The man was trying to leave the scene! Don't get me wrong what he did was an absolute no,no! No women deserves to be beat publicly or behind closed doors. Yes i feel very strongly that he should be arrested and punished for what he has done however i also believe that Juanita should have stayed inside the hotel. A public parking lot is not a place to hang out dirty laundry because it truly stinks!! Someone like Juanita in high pro file should have been more mature and not play into the hand of the enemy! Don't get it twisted!! Yes Juanita is human however; God gives us common sense. As a matter of fact, the write up said that this occurred 4am in the morning. What did I miss!! 4am? Thats the time for commom sense people to catch their zzzzzzzzzzz! Not yelling in a hotel parking lot while others are trying to sleep! Get my point! That was just crazy. Anyway I really pray and hope that both of them really seek christian counseling and if they can't seem to reconcile their differences than they need to go their own way!
ReplyDeleteto the poster above me, you ARE BLAMING HER for whatb happened. That is why you keep stating that all of this could have been avoided IF SHE HAD NOT GONE IN THE PARKING LOT. Your statement makes the incident contingent on where she was located. why she followed him into the parking lot is irrelevant! YOu don't know if she was trying to calm him, whether he said something before he walked out that she felt she needed to correct, WHATEVER!! YOU JUST DONT KNOW, IT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS and in no way shape or form is it relevant. As a man living on this earth and raised in church for over 54 years HIS ACTIONS AND LACK OF SELF CONTROL, esoecially being "filled with the Holy Spirit" are INEXCUSABLE!! I WOULD NOT KICK BEAT CHOKE OR STOMP my DOG, which GOD GAVE ME. If I would not abuse an animal that God gave me in an answer to prayer, there is no reason on the face of the earth that a man has to beat and stomp and choke the woman God has given him as a helpmeet, wife, flesh of his flesh!!! NO MATTER WHERE SHE WAS STANDING OR WHAT WAS OR WAS NOT COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH!! I have no words to defend his actions. I won't even try and by scripture, there is no cefense for it., Furthermore, seeing that the man allowed himself to be publicly violent toward his wife, this really could have happened in the restaurant too. This may not be the first time that he has put his hands on her either. Abuse is wrong, no matter who does it to whom,
ReplyDeleteHow dare you say that because she walked into the parking lot that SHE played into the hands of the ememy!!! The one who played into the hands of the enemy was the one who the enemy used to BEAT THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THE ONE WHO WAS PHYSICALLY WEAKER THAN HIM!!Bishop Weeks.
It seems that common sense and tenderness are what YOU are missing. you may as well be stuffing your face with popcorn and have your feet up on a chair the way you are passing down blame and "that's what you gets".
For the sake of ALL HUMANITY AND CHRISTIANITY, if you call yourself one, if you EVER EVER EVER EVER, encounter someone who has survived or gone through any kind of abuse, keep your toxic mouth shut!!! You will do more harm and agitation than healing with your line of thinking.
Just keep quiet and let those who are blessed with wisdom and compassion help that person. it is not for you to tell someone what blame they had in getting beat down while trying to reconcile with their spouse.
The time is absolutely IRRELEVANT!! Sin happens 24/7 and if you notice, it says that he left at 10:30 pm, then places the event at 4am. I noticed that after less than 10 minutes of looking at this story posted on different sites. The times are not consistent, so please stop nitpickin over really stupid things. Its like the peanut gallery or Ms. Bonita Butrell from in Living Color!
The greatest business in the line of business is minding YOUR business and leaving OTHER people's business ALONE!!
The most effective thing is prayer, and restoration, IN THE SPIRIT OF MEEKNESS, LEST YOU FALL! That is scripture!\
Peace-
All of you have been fooled....
ReplyDeleteWhy meet at 4AM? Sounds more like a surprise meeting gone bad. She surprised him with the hand in the cookie jar, threatened to let all of his followers about his...um hum... secret, and rather than lose the $$$, he beat the crap out of her....watch and see how the story turns out.
To the poster above me, um.... that makes no sense! "rather than lose the $$$, he beat the crap out of her"?? If it so happens like that in any event he made himself look bad and would still lose "the $$" dont cha think?? However its really sad to hear this news, my prays goes out to both of them.
ReplyDeleteWell i believe this incident is just a confirmation to (John 10:10a) The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. Its clear that the devil found his way into their marriage and he is leaving no stone unturned in his kill, steal and destroy rampage.. I just hope that Bishop Weeks & Rev Juanita Bynum will really seek God's wisdom (Gods face) and practice what they preach, and I pray that they find the strength to do so in Christ Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThe only way the devil can pull down a christian marriage councelor is by destroying their own marriage.
Please stop judging them bcos YOU COULD BE HIS (the devil) NEXT VICTIM, let them that have ears reframe from judging, God is the only true judge, let Him handle it!!!
BY A CHRISTIAN BROTHER WHO TRULY CARES.
Let's all pray for both parties!!Because they are really God's Children and to the writer above who was trying to blast the person that was just given their opinon about Juanita running behind her husband in the parking lot that was just their opinion!! If you really read what the writer wrote they felt that he should be punished. Just get over it and start praying for the husband and wife team!!! Everyone is concern about Juanita Bynum and that's wonderful however GOD is concerned about them both!! The best thing that anyone can do is put both of them in the hands of God and let God work this out! He is the only one that can do this!
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you writer just above me to the fact that we all need to pray for them both! We can speculate all day long! Yes this preacher has choked his wife. He has hit her, He has beat her which was a horrible thing to do and he should be punished for his sins and God does discipline and punish but after the punshing and the discipline what does a loving father do? He forgives and restores!! So when this chapter is close a new season pulls in! Regardless of angry and bitterness and even when "we" all sometimes do wrong and still do at times!! GOD STILL FORGIVES!!!! I'm quite sure that both parties have suffered media critics around the world but the bottom line is let's begin to show them love because it could have happen to any of us!! Both parties are hurting I'm quite sure; and people can sit around all day long and criticize this situation all day long that he was wrong! Or maybe she was a little wrong or just the victim however; both of these individuals belong to God! So we who are spiritual minded pray for restoration to come! Pray for deliverance to come forth! Lift them up in prayer! Let's get a prayer chain going so that the enemy can be defeated.
ReplyDeleteDear heavenly father i pray that Bishop weeks will apologize to his wife and repent for his actions. Father deliver him and set him free. Give him a mind to do right from this day forth and father please let him become honest in the pulpit to minister to the congregation about his confession make him the true leader that you have intended for him to be. Dear Jesus touch Prophetess Juanita Bynum strengthen her where she may be weak, heal her God!! Touch her from the crown of her head to the souls of her feet. Touch her mind and let her know that you are with her. Speak to her mind and spirit and let her know that everything is going to be alright! encouarge her heart dear Lord and build a frence around them both! Let them both know that you will bring them through this the way you want this to play out God. Right now work on them both and release your peace, hope and love in Jesus name I pray amen. Be blessed my brothers and sisters let's just pray because prayer changes things.
Pray for the both of them, those of us who are wise know that they both erred in one way or another, stop haveing favorites.
