In related news, one of Bishop Long’s accusers gave lurid details of their alleged encounters on camera in Colorado.
The media has confirmed that Bishop Long hired famed investigator T.J. Ward, the man who became an on-camera sensation during the Natalee Holloway disappearance.
Shockingly, Ward classified the suits as petty. “Each of these charges is frivolous and we plan to address them accordingly,” Ward said.
Ward will, as the media conjectures, turn the table on Bishop Long’s accusers and delve deep into their lives and their pasts, to defend his client, and whatever he unearths will be used as ammunition for Bishop Long’s accumulating war chest.
While the defense harvests compromising information on the accusers, the oldest plaintiff, Jamal Parris, called the Long a “monster” and “predator” who leveraged his awesome public profile and spiritual leadership authority as way to prey on weak young men and satiate his gay sexual proclivities.
“I cannot forget the way he made me cry many nights when I drove in his cars on the way home. I’m not able to take enough showers to wipe the smell of him off my body,” Parris said. “This was our father and we loved him,” Parris said.
Moreover, “This man turned his back on us when he had no more need for us,” Parris said. “That’s not a father, that’s a predator.”
These details are particularly injurious and scandalous because Bishop Long, known as the “prosperity preacher,” long ago came out vehemently against homosexuality and legalized gay unions. –terry shropshire
