I was REALLY hoping he’d keep his mouth shut. But given he’s going back on his word, he must be fully shown for the fraud that he is. You might remember the video that was in this post, where Weeks says things like:
I am making a personal truce. That I will share with no media. As I’ve turned down hundreds of interview opportunities. In the last 48 hours, I have turned down several of them, that I will no longer promote this situation.
He’s pulled that video. It’s no longer on YouTube or any other place he had it up at online.
An Atlanta paper wrote this article about that video.
Bishop Weeks yanks tell-all book on Bynum, apologizes in online video 12/13/2007
A jazz piano plays soft music. A field of holiday chrysanthemums fills the screen. A husband lounges on a red couch to send a video love letter to his estranged wife.
This is not just any public apology - it’s from Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III to his wife, national evangelist JuanBynumynum.
…
The book, “What Love Taught Me,” was coincidentally released by Global Destiny Publishing after Bynum dished about her stormy marriage to Weeks in a two-part interview in Essence magazine.
On Monday, Weeks, appeared on the Tom Joyner Morning Show to announce the debut of his book, which was selling for $13.95. It included pages detailing what Weeks said were the couple’s “weaknesses” in chapters with titles like “Opposites Attract, But Do They Last,” and “She Wanted To Be the Next Oprah at Any Cost,”
About 48 hours later, “What Love Taught Me” was yanked from distribution with this message on his website to his wife and his Global Destiny church family: “I want to speak to my wife,” Weeks pleads. “I haven’t been able to talk to her since Aug. 21, but I want to share something very personal and heartfelt. … I have wounded her emotionally in the last 48 hours. I want to say publicly, globally and privately from my heart, I’m sorry. I am pulling every book that would have been shipped.”
Weeks, an author and leader of a global ministry, promises a “full refund” to those who have ordered the book and says he will rerelease it at another date under a new title, “What Love Taught Me - Only.”
…
However, in his video apology to his wife, Weeks thanks Bynum for sending him a “prayer shawl” and says he will be sending her a gift too — a book his father gave him that helped his spiritual life.
“My love for you still stands. I still appreciate everything you have done for me and have done for this ministry,” Weeks says in the video message. “No matter where we go in life I will always pray for you.”

So you thought Weeks was going to keep his mouth shut? Well I’ve said repeatedly, a person who lies about God can’t be trusted at all. He’s a big time heretic, teaches the false prosperity doctrine and is just full of filth.
Well now his “PR firm”, that is named Double XXposure has issued the following press release. Part of that press release is below.
THOMAS WEEKS, III IS FED UP: Embattled Bishop plans to speak out. 12/21/2007
…
Earlier this week, Bishop Weeks retracted the publishing of his memoir, What Love Taught Me. Weeks is, by no means, out to wound or defame his wife. He is simply emphasizing that he is torn between protecting his wife as well as protecting his Atlanta church and ministry at large.
…
In response to the most recent outcry, a press release on behalf of Mrs. Bynum-Weeks was followed by a radio interview on the syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show. Bynum-Weeks’ brother made malicious statements against Weeks and his church. The Bishop says his silence cannot be contained for much longer. These continued deliberate and assassinating attacks against Bishop Weeks’ character have compromised his longstanding pastoral ministry of over 10 years. Weeks wishes to bring closure to this situation so that publicly, corporately and worldwide, members of the Global Destiny Ministries, as well as the body of Christ, can welcome in the New Year on a positive note.
In the interest of the church, if there is any further agitation by Mrs. Bynum-Weeks or her publicity team, Bishop Weeks’ public relations firm, Double XXposure will be releasing his highly anticipated memoir, What Love Taught Me. With this, the highest level of clarity and truth will be exposed with regard to this matter. At the very least, Bishop Weeks hopes to bring closure to all of the drama that has been stirred up through various media outlets.

He’s gone from pulling the book, to threatening to release it. Perhaps the previous pulling of the book was a publicity stunt, to garner more sales with a later release, using an excuse like this?
I did not think much of it when a reader named Renea informed me that an article featuring Weeks talking about Juanita Bynum (who is also a false teacher) was released in the January 2008 issue of Gospel Today Magazine, just after his supposed “truce”. Perhaps I was mistaken to overlook Renea’s note of concern. Perhaps that and all of this was clever timing on Weeks’ part? Perhaps it was silly of me to assume he did the interview before the truce and had no means to prevent it from going to print? I really wanted him to shut up. You just can’t ever trust a snake.
This shift from Weeks only makes me think of the following.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (New American Standard Bible)
16 There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.
|
Well we know both Bynum and Weeks think they are better than the world and entitled earthly “prosperity” (haughty eyes). They lie about scripture and now the tongue of Weeks can’t be trusted even when it says it will stop moving (lying tongue). All they do in the media is wicked (wicked plans). It seems they move pretty quick for a spotlight, to do their wickedness (rapid to evil). Each says the other is lying (false witness who utters lies). And they are nothing but strife to all who claim the Lord’s name (spread strife among brothers). Short of shedding innocent blood, Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks seem to have engaged in everything the Lord hates, plus the abomination.
Well there is still time for them to turn from all the mess they’ve done. There’s still a chance they will honestly accept Jesus Christ and walk in truth. It would be so nice if they really did.

sounds like he has a case of the Popeyes(That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!)….at this point, the best thing for these jokers to do is give up their "ministries" and sit under sound biblical teaching….but that wont happen because that would require them to get real jobs…and you know none of these airlines are trying to hire JB as a stewardess..

……Short of shedding innocent blood, Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks seem to have engaged in everything the Lord hates, plus the abomination.
Ezekiel 33:1-6
After reading the above scriptures, I think that they may have shed innocent blood, also.
Peace

KingsKid, I fixed the link.

Am sure this resent Essence’s behind the scense with JB , may have struck a nerve in TW…..
(Edited by IndependentConservative:) Alady1969, the source of that video is a big time hypocrite. He calls out Bynum while he sits proudly under Creflo Augustus Dollar Junior and teaches the same heresies as Creflo. Let’s just say, when I noted I don’t stand with certain folks out there, he’s one of those people. Please don’t take offense to me removing the link.

No offense taking. This is your site and you have the right to remove, edite, block, etc. Your decision is well respected and I’ll keep that in mind with future posting.

Oscar Wilde once made a (sexist) comment that "…a woman defends herself by attacking, just as she attacks by sudden and sweet surrender." Methinks Mr. Weeks is employing that tactic…
December 28th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
I believe that the more stunts that he pulls, the more distrustful the public could become of him.
January 2nd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
I don’t know if you read the article about T. Weeks I sent you from Path Magazine. I just read it this evening and I may be reading too much into his twisted way of talking, but it seems that he is accusing Bynum of being a lesbian. He talked about her trying to expand her “social” base of women and her “emotional” problems. I thought I’d make a note of this observation just in case the lesbian accusations come out later.
Here’s the link in case anyone wants to read the article: http://www.pathmagazine.com/index.php?categoryid=12&p2_articleid=120
IndependentConservative reply on January 2nd, 2008 at 11:45 pm :
Actually, below is the correct link regarding what you’re speaking about and you sent to me:
http://www.pathmagazine.com/index.php?categoryid=12&p2_articleid=123
I was aware of this. I’m just not spending much time on it given it’s already obvious he would not keep his “personal truce”.
Whatever he’s saying about her, I’ll just let it come in full if/when he says it and leave it at that. I’m not trying to make this blog into a supermarket tabloid
. Whatever comes will be addressed when it comes if something comes that might need to be addressed. We don’t want to be gossips, if something is made public, then something might need to be addressed, not before. Let Weeks have himself in Proverbs 20:19 if he so desires, but let’s not put ourselves there.

Good point, IC, but they don’t have many secrets at this point. I don’t consider either of them ministers of the Gospel. They are just aggressive entreprenuers and motivational speakers. But your reference to a supermarket tabloid is right on–that’s where their story belongs.
