Juanita Bynum Filing for Divorce from Bishop Thomas Weeks

first and formost, No one should raise his hands against any individual no matter the provocation that said. Jaunita Bynum should remember that unbelievers are watching. You must have lived with him for sometime and should have known his level of tolerrance. Why did you follow him to the park when he left, why did you continue in the heated aguement?
did you ask of the lord before you married him?
Be doers of the word and not only preachers of the word.
for the both of you, marry as you preached and live as you preach. it is a sin to provoke some one to anger and a great cause the pain of others. your actions could make young belivers to begine to doubt the word since both of you are highly placed minister
pastor Jaunita Bynum should forgive her "extranged Husband" and leave judgment unto God.

Dearest Juanita,

Please listen to me, it might be painful but its the best u can do in order to live long and continue with the work God has assigned to you on earth. I lost my own dearest sister due to domestic violence, abuse and careless handling by a man she called her husband. Divorce Weeks and have your peace!!! Dont cut ur life short for a man who doesn't deserve you. Weeks doesn't deserve you sister!!! Doing the work Of God will pay you more than staying in a relationship that will destroy you. Weeks was sent to destroy you and your ministry, forget about the title hes bearing, being a bishop doesn't mean hes good enough for you. Remember the devil bears the title.."archangel"

Juanita is setting a good example. So many churches teach against divorce but your safety is so much more important

I am a young Namibian who's shocked by the divorce news of juanita. I think justice has to be done one way or the other. I just believe one cannot suffer the beating and just sit and relax. I believe that if you love someone you'll want the best for them, even if they irritate you some how. Being one means you became your spouse's own body and if you hit her/him remember you are hitting your self, unless you don't love her. That's a beutiful choice that juanita did. The Bible says Love covers a multitude of sin, meaning that if your spouse did something you wont even shuot at her. Bishop Thomas, May the Almight God forgive you and allow you to see that you have lost A POWERFUL, DEDICATED, GOD FEARING, PANTIENT, A WOMAN OF STRENGTH, THE APPLE OF GOD"S EYE, A GOOD FRIEND, A PREACHER OF GOD"S WORD, A PRAYERFULL, A LOVING, CARING, A SERVANT WOMAN OF GOD. I hope you'll come to your sensense and REPENT before its to late. Juanita I LOVE YOU and I PRAY that you'll continue serving GOD to the end and that you'll put all the beatings and pains you went through behind and keep focusing and doing HIS Will. I am very blessed by your MINISTRY.

Love Vicky

"I have read several comments regarding advising Juanita to wait before she divorces, her husband The Bible never advocates abuse, In Isaiah 54 it says we are to be far from oppression, abuse is critical oppression God is never the author of confusion, and this is confusion which should be acted upon with commonsence It is to late when a person has paid the ultimate price for ignorance, The rod is for the fool's back." I certainly agree with Juanita Don't be a fool twice the next rod could bring your life and ministry to a halt..Divorce is not the unpardonable..

first of all how do we know she is making haste. do you know how long this has been escalating? maybe you feel you deserve to be beat and if that's your thing then more power to you, but THINGS LIKE THIS DON'T JUST HAPPEN SUDDENLY! EVERYONE has to be accountable for themselves. we need to stop making excuses for severe behavior. that is the same teaching that binds women from pants, jewelry and make up because you may cause a man to stumble. well in my opinion if he has that spirit it was there before i came along and trying to govern and cover up his problem is prolonging the inevitable. the dog in him will come out. This situation was new to you but not new to the couple behind closed doors. just because you just found out doesn't mean that small situations were not happening all along. we are so quick to make a counter decision for someones life that we can not live or change. prayer still works and when we don't understand and it doesn't go like we want then we should realize we are not the head nigga' in charge. Jesus got this. no where in the bible does it tell us to remain and be beat. if my memory serves me well when we marry we are one. i should do no more to my spouse than i would my own self. i make mistakes, get myself flustered but i don't throw myself on the floor and bring harm to me.the urge to fight was already there the same way you say her dominating character was. so this is a decision she is making and one she has to live with. if she makes money from it then don't hate because you are still scared to step out and tell your story, share your battles and testify of your victories. neither of them has publically state that they are going to backslide so i am sure there is time for GOD to fix the issues you(LINDA)see. this couple has been watched since the begining if you thought GOD was with them then keep watching and let him have the last say. we should pray for ourselves as well i am sure we all know someone if not ourselves that has been touched by domestic violence. some lived to tell it some still living in it and some died in it. so linda as you have said IT IS GOD's judgement.

I am a victim of domestic violence. It took me 14 years before I was able to get enough courage to do something about it. I stand and applaude your efforts to do what is right. Alot of people want to take the word and use it for their own interpertation of the situation. To every one who reads this comment. Your opinion doesn't matter because that is between them and the almighty God. They have their own judgements to go to when that time comes. It doesn't matter what you think because this his their personal lives that God deals with. I am pretty sure that they have both prayed to God on what they should do. There is not perfect person in this world even the saints of old did things wrongs like King David but he was a man after God's own heart according to God. How dare you judge these people for their actions. God is the only judge. Read the word before you go around making such statements like above. Pray for these two people. Juanita you have always and will always be my spiritual mentor forever. Thank you for being a good example.

I am really just still in shock about the whole situation I mean they had a marriage ministry they taught other people how to be husband and wife the lords way. I believe they should both step down from their ministries and go talk to the lord because they have been seriously misleading. You cannot tell me that this situation just started, you cant tell me the holy spirit has not been quenching one of their spirits what is going on in the body of christ. I guess that it was one of the main reasons the Lord says trust in me because once again we see that are leaders also are mere mortals. I pray that gods will be done in this situation and that none of His people are made to stumble because of it.

Linda Harris, are you stupid are did someone knock your brains out? I hate to be crude, but some remarks like yours require such a response. You said and I quote...."The bible says, "a rod for the fools back." Sometimes, we as unsubmittal women need that hell knocked out of us to get our attention. So many of us women, especially African-American women are out of order." Stop taking the Word out of context! The bible also states that a man should love his wife as Christ loves the church. Not beat his wife, love his wife! You need help. If you think it's okay for a man to beat his wife because for so-called "unsubmissiveness" then let me make this suggestion to you. Return the Color Purple video to the rental store, Nettie! Obviously, you've been watching it to much. Ladies and gentlemen, use the common sense God gave you. Chrisitianity is not a substitute for common sense!!! Quoted from my pastor, Rev. Gene Profeta. Ask God to renew your minds and give you sensible thinking capabilities. It's lacking in quite a few of you!

I wonder what she did to make him so mad that he hit her...? I wonder if she had been warned.

Juanita Bynum is doing the right thing. Anyone who encourages her to stay in an abusive relationship with a man who has anger issues and has attacked women in his own church is crazy. It would send the wrong message to other women who have experienced domestic violence at the hand of their significant other. Once that promise to love and protect is broken, the woman has to think about her life. Any woman should leave without question. This is good for Juanita and I support her decision 100%.
