The pastor of a Georgia megachurch with thousands of followers, who was twice married and is a father of four, is speaking out about his recent decision to publicly declare he is gay.
***
Shortly after the Georgia 'pastor' made his 'announcement', homosexual-accused Eddie Long filed court papers with regard to his situation of allegations of 'coercion':
Eddie Long on the Record: "Claims of Sexual Misconduct Are Not True," Says Ga. Pastor 11-1-10 "Local and state authorities have declined to investigate the accusations because the age of consent in Georgia is 16....Long called himself a "bold revolutionary spiritual leader...[and]...often encouraged his New Birth members to call him "daddy"...

re: "Church in the Now"
Very interesting to note that Long's statement is a denial of 'sexual misconduct', but still apparently no actual denial of homosexual activity. It is clearly a purposely vague statement. Note especially that because the legal age in Georgia is 16, no criminal charges are possible. Very convenient. The issue then becomes the question of 'coercion' - whether or not there was an abuse of power and authority. Since Long has only denied "sexual misconduct", it leaves the definite possibility that he is in fact only denying 'coercion'.
This fits the scheme perfectly allowing for a well coordinated tag-team effort. While Swilley with his proud 'public declaration' deflects attention and softens up the opposition with his save the gay-youth 'anti-bullying' angle, Long can then take a more round-about approach to accomplishing the goal.
'What do you think'...is always the strategy. 'Maybe we need to take another look at this'...is always the suggestion, and if you take the bait, it is all downhill after that. Long is a 'bold revolutionary spiritual leader" you know...(he said so himself)...this is 2010...etc., you do want to be part of the "Church in the Now" don't you? ...and on it goes.
One thing must be understood Christian. If you stay in the 'conversation'...you will have to give ground because if you do not you cannot stay in (see how that works?), and by staying in, you will go down with the ship. The situation is critical, and it's still early. It is going to get a lot messier.
