Will Juanita Bynum and Bishop Thomas Weeks Reconcile? 5 Signs of When to End a Relationship
January 17, 2008 – 9:23 amPosted Under: relationships, society
BGP send out a blast that says, “Tune into Juanita Bynum every Sunday from 12 to 5PM on Praise 97.5 Atlanta’s Inspiration Station for Church in the Air where the Eagles Belong. Also Tune into V1000 from 11AM to 1PM. For more information about Juanita Bynum log onto www.juanitabynum.com”.
I ran across this quote this week on Google:
To the critics of Juanita Bynum, I have this to say: It is none of anybody’s business what Juanita Bynum and Thomas Weeks’ marriage is like. Are you married? The reason why she teaches is so other people’s marriages don’t become like their own. But see you are carnal and don’t understand the things of the spirit because they are both still anointed!- Aaron Aziel
There is a lot going on in both of their lives as they continue to feed the media, but I started thinking at what point do you need stop considering reconciliation. I mean, it’s great that the whole world or a great part of it wants you to fight for your marriage, but people on the outside of a marriage never know EVERYTHING that goes on in a marriage. Even the Holy Spirit doesn’t reveal EVERYTHING no matter how anointed your pastor, first lady or even you may think you are. Sure there are some things that God can show you about a person, but nobody and nothing can know EVERYTHING except God. Then I came across this article by Jed Jones and I believe that Juanita and Thomas may at least from the outside fit one of the points of a relationship that needs to end, although in prayer to God alone He has the final say.
When to End a Relationship - 5 Signs by Jed Jones
A troubled relationship can be very painful. There are numerous signs that indicate it is probably time to end things. However, you may also find that it is worth giving things another try.
Here are 5 signs that it is time to end your relationship.
Sign #1: Your words to each other lack a tone of basic respect:
In Malcolm Gladwell’s bestselling book, “Blink,” the author describes how certain marriage counselors can watch a videotape of any given couple talking and predict almost instantly and with great accuracy whether the relationship will last. The key is in the level of respect the couple expresses to each other via their words. If you find you or your partner constantly talking in a way that suggests contempt or annoyance in almost every utterance, your relationship may be doomed.
Sign #2: Your partner has cheated repeatedly:
How you handle finding out about your partner’s infidelity is a very personal matter, especially if it has happened one time. If your partner
has demonstrated a history of multiple infidelities or if your partner does not seem to sympathize with your resulting pain, it is probably time to call it quits.
Sign #3: Your partner is abusive:
If your partner is physically or mentally abusive, you should almost certainly remove yourself from the relationship. By the way, even physical abuse can come from either sex. I have personally had big, strong male friends who were on the receiving ends of physically abusive relationships from petite women. Man or woman, if your partner is abusive, get immediate help or get out now.
Sign #4: Substance abuse:
If your partner has a debilitating drug or alcohol problem but you find yourself somehow tethered to the relationship, you may be in a very unhealthy situation. It is not necessarily the best thing to leave your partner in this circumstance. But, if your partner shows no signs of
recovering and you find yourself unable to get him or her help, it may be time to end things. People who allow their spouse or family member to continue with a substance abuse problem untreated are in what psychologists call a co-dependent relationship. Do not let this happen to you: get help now
Sign #5: Lack of respect for their values:
Some people who are good, attractive and nice people in some situations might turn into real devils in others. If your partner is involved with
illegal or immoral activities – or if maybe they are just plain mean to certain people they meet - ask them to change or get help. If they show no interest in recognizing their problems, it is wise to dissociate yourself from them: it is impossible to really love someone whom you do not respect.
If your love is experiencing a bumpy road and exhibits any of the above-mentioned signs, you should probably end the relationship. Otherwise, you just may be able to pull through. If you think your relationship is worth saving, make a commitment to yourself do whatever you can to make it work. If you try and fail, at least you will know you tried.

I’m all for forgiving the other person but these 2 definately need to keep going their seperate ways. This is a good list.

I surely hope not. This marriage was a train reck from the start.
Bishop Weeks know the true story. Love was not the base of this marriage, and god will get the glory now are later. I believe that there was some hitting through out the marriage on both sides, Which was very wrong. The parking lot assult was just over the top for me. He said she blocked the drivers side door, so he push her off him down to the ground. Well at first he said he never touch Juanita. Now he wants to give everybody bits and pieces of the failed marriage. We do not care. The parking lot assult is all that matters now. The trial is grtting close and I hope the truth comes out of the box. Liars always get exposed. It takes two to break down a marriage. The both of you was to bussy to give a marriage what it needed to grow. Weeks did not care anymore even when Juanita wanted love and affection. He was very mean sprited,ruled, and nasty toward her. This is why Juanita said “You Can Not Want Somebody Who Do Not Want You.” Weeks wants to talk about everything except what really happen in that parking lot along with a wittness.

We’ve seen pictures of the bruises, watched TV interviews, we’ve read the newspaper and magazine articles, we’ve heard Radio Talk shows and watched YouTube…again, where are the hotel surveilance tapes? Will somebody please show the video tape and let this be over!!! Enough is enough for crying out loud…just show the tape.
Forgive the fool and move on, but to reconcile with him…that would be a BIG HELL TO THE NO!!!

If they get back together it will make me think this was all an publicity stint to start off with. If she gets back with him, the next time he beats her, she might not come out of it. Apparently she doesn’t watch Nancy Grace or Lifetime movies for that matter.
