Bishop Thomas Weeks III Breaks Silence and Tells His Side of the Story
September 14, 2007 – 6:08 pmPosted Under: life, relationships
Bishop Thomas Weeks III Gets Permission from his lawyers to hold a press conference to finally break the silence and tell his side of the story. He goes on to acknowledge the hurt the incident may have caused the Body of Christ and said that although his silence may have fueled suspicions of guilt in the minds of people, his silence was just to preserve the sanctity of marriage. Not taking sides, but I viewed the press statement and he seemed to be trying to get people to side with him citing how long his father and grandfather were married. What does that have to do with his second failed marriage? Unfortunately although he wanted his *spat* to remain private in the “sanctity of marriage” like he said, public figures who’ve reach celebrity status don’t have that option, just ask Britney and K-Fed and tons of others. He also said something about walking away. If I wanted to walk away, there would have been only ONE point of contact necessary; me pushing him AWAY from the car long enough for me to get in and drive off. There would be no need to kick, slap, punch, beat or choke.
Here are the contents of the Cease and Desist Letter Bishop Thomas Weeks III makes reference to:

I know that the spirit of prosperity and that of the Jezebel has been trying to destroy the Bride of Christ for quite a while. It appears that everything is all about money instead of saving souls, and feeding the poor. It is sad to say that most Christians feel the more money you have the more blessed you are. Yet our King of Kings and Lord of Lords was of no reputation. May you and your wife find that no matter where either of you may go or reside, the same issues will come up until they are dealt with through repentance, submitting unto the Lord, and deliverance. I am praying very much for people, who are not following the word of God. Remember, Judgment will first start at the house of God. I sincerely pray your wife would humble herself under the mighty hand of God. If she did this she would know through the spirit of God. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Even if she divorced you she will have to answer to the Holy redeemer’s. I will continue to pray for you both. I am woman married to a Pastor, whom I love dearly. The Lord has placed him in my life to teach me how to love, and I am so thankful. We feed over 12,000 families a year with just a congregation of 30. Our prayer before God was to give us true saints to aid in the ministry. It’s not in the fashion, cars, furs, or houses. Brother before my marriage I to was married to a very abusive man. The Lord had to heal my scars and teach me how to trust and let go. Completely allowing my husband to move in the spirit, as well as myself. One thing people know, I do not proclaim myself as a prophet , Pastor, or Great woman of God. I am just one of God children to be use of him. One thing I can tell I could never get into her ministry, not that I did not try. It was just to masculine, the approach to harsh, something that cam out of her mouth were not scriptural. When someone , motives are not right they will be exposed. We as children of God have to go into the fire and pull them out without being burned. I will pray for both of you, as previously stated the same problems will always occur no matter whom we join ourselves to, unless there is healing and deliverance.

I didn’t exactly understand this statement
Oh well, maybe I don’t have to understand. Never mind.

Dude…you’re still a wife beater; what can justify that?
By Kay on Oct 2, 2007
I believe that no matter what a person does to you there is absolutely no excuse for the type of abuse that he subjected his wife to. Weeks says the devil made me do it. The devil doesn’t make you do anything you made a choice to do what do. The bible says that God gave us dominion and authority over all this which includes the devil. The bible also says that God gave us power over the power of the devil. You are responsible for your own actions so accept responsibility and stop blaming others.

Hie. No disrespect to anyone, i love Juanita, she’s my inspiration and so do i love Wesley… I think what the two are going through is nothing beyond control. Like any other marriage there are ups and downs and i believe as pastors, they ought to be standing out and reminding the devil where he belongs! Why is everybody blaming Wesley?? Why isn’t there anybody looking on the positive side of them working things out?? Mistakes do happen and i believe before we’re christians we’re all human, aint nobody perfect out there.
Those vows, ’till death do us part’ man, they mean a lot… To you Juanita and Wesley, shame the devil, it may not be easy but it sure is worth it, don’t give him no joy he don’t deserve! In Jesus’ name, nothing is impossible, i believe the devil has knocked you down to your knees and guess what, this is the point where you look up to the father and ask him to deliver you!! Divorce, no… it aint it, it sure aint, prayer can fix all for you.
God Bless x

Y’know, he’s not the only one with two failed marriages under their belt. Juanita has also been married twice, so let’s not forget that.
Here are my views on the matter:
1. She kept her last name. Why? That shows outwardly that you do not wish to truly become unified in a marriage. You can’t take his name, and shed your previous self? The two shall become one.
2. Her last husband hit her too. Does she make bad choices in men or is her mouth getting her in trouble?? I’m a woman myself and even I can’t take you getting into my face about something. People shouldn’t think they can just talk to people any kindof way and not have some sort of consequence to face.
From the way she preaches, perhaps she has issues with submission and men. Submission has such negative connotations but that is the way the Bible reads. It’s not something one should take or leave. It’s God’s Word and His word is Infallible…right?
Or maybe people should rethink what they believe in…

I totally agree with the last comment made by DreamGyrl360. Our culture is designed in such a way that women are protected from being accountable in situations where they have provoked an otherwise (non-violent man) to acting out of charactor in abuse.
I am also disappointed at how this situation is being handled, especially by Evangelist Juanita Bynum. Since the discovery of this situation- she has increasingly glorifed herself as the victom and now posterchild for Domestic Violence, completely omitting the real issues which surround the true reasons her third marriage has ended due to abuse in divorce. I can’t believe for one minute that her own issue deep root issues with fear, control didn’t have something to do with it (i.e. keeping her last name, marrying a man who may be less dominate than she etc.)
I have seen this pattern with friends who have been abused and these women need help. I do not condone domestic violence in any form; however you can’t expect a person not to snap/respond after subjecting them to years of verbal abuse/button pushing. It’s just not fair.
In closeing, I want to acknowledge that Bishop Weeks definatly needs help as well. Anyone who would want to stay with a person who has pushed them to the point of violently attacking and threatening to kill their mate has some major issues. No one should be that important.
