Eddie Long And New Birth Settelement Is Near



Eddie Wrong day of judgement...well at least in courts is coming near.  Long does not want the public to know his detailed indiscretions. Bishop Eddie Long  is choosing to "Make It Rain" on the victims in other words a big payday for closed mouths.   Tom Jones of WSB, the parties have held marathon mediation sessions and are close to an agreement.
