Atlanta Adult Entertainment: The slow, public demise of Eddie Long’s career
Posted on March 17th, 2011 in Atlanta adult entertainment
Long closed out the decade with four sexual coercion lawsuits, stories surrounding the alleged previous abuse of his first wife, and a spot on the “50 Most Loathsome Americans of 2010″ list according to the Buffalo Beast website – checking in at No. 31, sandwiched between George W. Bush and LeBron James.
Long seems more akin to King Belshazzar than David who slew Goliath. In February, news broke that members of the New Birth/Lithonia, Ga. congregation lost as much as $1 million in a failed gaming investment venture with entrepreneur Ephren Taylor. Taylor reportedly gained access and the confidence of the members through the blessing (literally) of Bishop Long.
New businesses?
So churches are now trying to turn a profit in the gaming industry? Were legalized prostitution and alcohol distribution already taken? The congregation is upset about making a bad ‘wager’ on gaming machines?
