Ohhh you know the type:  always telling you how right you should be living and their own windows need washing. Or the other type: the ones who’ve reached a certain level of enlightenment in life and now feel the need to continuously tell you what you’re doing wrong.  Sometimes it’s funny and sometimes, it’s just downright sad how the tables often turn.

Check it out…and please try not to get yourself too upset!

    And let’s not forget about P. Diddy! When it looked like his behind could go to jail he went straight to church and everything was “…God this…and God that…” but no sooner than he was honorated, the word “God” has not come out of his mouth since!

  • centralohronnie

    A wolf in sheeps clothing is not a Christian who is almost 50% saved.
    They are 50% of the way on their journey to self damnation.

  • realadulttalk

    Anyone can say they are one with God…but if they have to say it…don’t believe it…you should see that in their everyday life.

    People always sayin don’t judge Do they not realize it is a book in the bible called JUDGES. TO JUDGE means to make an educated decision do you honestly think God does not want you to judge people’s acts Next time a known child molester wants to play with your child say yes cause if you say no you are judging him based on passed acts next time a known rapist wants to spend the night at your house let him in cause you are judging him on past rapes. (John 7;24 says judge not according the appearance but judge righteous judgement) It also says to not (Keep company with the wicked). How are you gonna know if you keeping company with the wicked unless you judge their actions duh!!!!! Most people say don’t judge because they don’t want people to speak on their actions, then they use God to defend their wickedness. So why don’t we all stop going to court to hear a (JUDGE!!) give us child support, or a divorce, or for small claims, or a class action lawsuit, or medical malpractice,or murder, or rape because that would be judging. All those people who rallied for Trayvon Martin should have stayed home because they have no right to Judge George Zimmerman who are we to say that a person has no right to kill us for any reason we shouldn’t Judge

    • Angel

      Thank you! People take the “Dont Judge” thing too far. Its called having common sense and it seems like alot of people on this post dont have any.

    • Erin

      Beautifully said! Amen to that!

  • RandomTandem

    Y’all forgot Oprah! She’s always telling people to save their money but I dont see her giving us none to save! LMFAO

  • CA Pullen

    Creflo should have not made this list. I don’t condone chocking a child but a 15 year old does not need to go to a party of 1am. I still continues to support his ministry. At least he did get in front of his congregation and gave them an explanation and he trust God will reveal the truth. Eddie Long has not until this day given his congregation and explanation. He only said that he is like “David and has five stones” ( I am paraphasing this). Long has not even said that he was innocent or I did not commit any wrong doing. I still think he owes that congregation an explanation. I don’t understand why people still continues to support this guy’s ministry. I can see if he had came clean with the congregation. He had not in my eyes. Why Juanita Bynum is not on the list? She has came out with dirt that she has done. I understand that these people are human and make bad choices, you should ask for God for true repentness and forgiveness and try to focus to stay on track. Nobody is not perfect and it is true that they are human. People should not put these pastors and bishops on a pedastal. When they fall people fall out with the church and think all pastors and bishops are the same.

      A) If a man has to choke slam his 15 year old daughter, it makes one wonder what kind of parenting he’s been doing for the past decade and a half. I know kids start to “smell themselves” at a certain age, but if he couldn’t use any other kind of discipline besides this, he needs to enroll in some parenting and child psychology classes ASAP. B) You mention Juanita Bynum but don’t say one word about the alleged man of God who beat her and dragged her through a hotel parking lot by her hair. Not only did this man never apologize, but he never even acknowledged the violent acts he committed. Any reason why he escaped your criticism?

      • CA Pullen

        His name did not come to my attention at the time. It my understanding that he mentioned to media, I believe Gospel today magazine, cant recall the month edition and year, that he denied allegations and has done no wrong doing. As I stated, I don’t condone anyone choking a child. We don’t know if Dollar actually did this.

    • jray

      its funny because i remember Creflo Dollar telling people who left Eddie Long’s church to go back to where they came from don’t come to his church He just had a wreck was his exact statement And on top of that he said what if i do something wrong is ya’ll going to leave me to. Now what is Creflo saying

    ya know.. This list would never exist if people just acted holy instead of talking about it so much. Don’t speak about it be about it. And someone notices a divine difference in you and asks you why, THEN give God the glory. If someone asks for your advice then you tell them about Jesus.
    Folk need to stop telling people how aligned with God they are. If you are for God and God is for you, GOD will show the people. Just as he did with Jesus.

    • http://twitter.com/igotid13 T Dez

      I absolutely LOVE your response. I get so tired of hearing people talk about God and Jesus, but when I sit back and view their actions, they seem more aligned with devilishness than holiness. This reminds me of a verse from a hymn my great-grandmother used to sing: everybody talkin bout heaven ain’t goin there.

        Thanks. Just what I learned sitting on many a church pews. :)

    there is not one sin worse than the other in God’s eyes. we are all in constant (daily) need of forgiveness. just remember, however you judge someone else, be ready to be judged with that same verocity.

    • Sheena

      This is not true. If you believe god’s wrath for a murder is the same for a hungry person stealing food from wal-Mart there is truly no common sense in that logic.

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

        sin is sin. both murder and stealing are against the commandments. God didn’t command us “don’t steal, and don’t kill…..unless you have a valid reason”. and the Word states that we should “judge not, lest we be judged” “for by the same judgment you judge, you will be judged”…Matthew 7. you can say i have no common sense all you like…i didn’t write the Word, but i do try and follow it. which a lot of times i fail and am in need of constant forgiveness. God’s ways are not our ways, so our human “logic” means less than nothing to God.

        • jray

          proverbs 6:30 says men do not despise a thief if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry so their is a difference verse 31 but if he be found he shall restore sevenfold he shall give all the substance of his house If i take personal property i can repay it but if i murder you how can i repay

        • IJS

          If all sins are equal, then explain what an abomination is. And explain why blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable (according to Jesus), yet is no worse than any other sin.

    • jray

      There is one sin that will not be forgiven and that Is The Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost

      • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

        that is true.

  • stopmn

    seems like Madame Noir doesn’t like the Body of Christ! constantly hating on Holy living smh shame on you

  • Aarynn

    Just seems like this article is just judging people every time they do something contrary to what they stand for. Most of these offenders have no concrete evidence of their “sins” just tweets and rumors. People make mistakes. If they claim God or spirituality in their lives then that’s their business. If you don’t like it, fInd another role model to follow.

    We’re always tearing each other down, it’s pathetic.

    • ADD

      Dang Bawsup, it’s bad enough I have to click on each page, but then I have to scroll down too? I have ADD, I can’t make it through the list!

      • S.G.

        LOL!

  • DoinMe

    I’m still scratching my head as to why Eddie Long still has a church and why people are still involved in that cult.

    • http://twitter.com/MrsNicoleP2 NicoleP

      Exactly!

      • michelle

        Bcuz the word never changes. And is always good no matter whose preaching…the purpose for going to church is to serve God not man. Rev. Long is not perfect but the word of God is and as long as he’s preaching the Word like its written in the bible he’s no misleading anyone. He made some poor decisions but he’s man and man is flesh. When he committed those acts he was conducting himself in the flesh. But when he’s in the pulpit preching he’s operating in the spirit. Rev. Long problem is he needs to choose today whom will he serve! No, I don’t agree nor do i condole his actions but we all have our struggles. Even David, a man after God’s heart, had a weakness for woman and was a hibitual-adultery but he loved God and God honored him for that. We, us ppl, need to stop being so judgemental and leave the judging up to God cause no one has the right to cast stones…no one is perfect!

        • DoinMe

          So by your logic, the Devil can preach the Word and we should listen? BS!

          • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

            God’s people are not devils, although sometimes we act like we have no sense. Bishop Long has every opportunity to go to God and ask forgiveness for what he did, and God will forgive him, just like He will all who ask. but it’s us judgmental folks who will rot, because we are condemning each other.

        • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

          you are so right! people spend so much time looking for the flaws in the messenger, that they pay no attention to the message. not only was David a adulterer, but he had the woman’s husband killed so he could be with her. God revealed himself to Moses aand talked to him everyday, yet was Moses not a murderer? the problem with our generation is they think that that was a different God, of a different time. He is the same today, yesterday, and forever. you either serve Him, or you serve man.

          • Rafaelchick1

            Um.. did you read most of Psalms.. its David begging for forgiveness.. IN NO WAY.. does the WORD of God say its ok for a sinner to go on preaching..
            Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.

            • Rafaelchick1

              Its 1 Timothy 3— there are more like these. And let me re-phrase. We are sinners but we don’t go on sinning.. Its talked about in Romans..But someone in leadership should be blameless.. these guys are why no one takes us Christians seriously,. it’s a shame.. I can’t believe people are willing to listen to the message and not see the actions.. Heck Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness with scripture but Jesus was like NICE TRY !!! I know my Word even better.. So people are going to these churches, please pray and really examine the actions of your leadership!! Please!! God wants you to be fed, but with Truth!!!

            • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1438551270 Jessica Lucinda Williams

              the point was not that David did not beg for forgiveness, i know that is the whole point of the Psalms, but the fact is he committed atrocious acts, and was still held in high regards in the eyes of God. he was punished, and forgiven, and was still King, and still anointed. my point was hear the Word, more than you analyze the man. that in no way translates to ignore what they’ve done. he has got to answer for what he’s done in this life and the next.

          • jray

            Moses wasn’t no Sodomite either and Moses saw and Egyptian beating on 1 of his people and stepped in so that wasn’t the issue. When have you defended your people What about the abused boys you haven;t spoke about them you are defending the Perpetrator with the God’s word and not the victim’s what about them

          • IJS

            Sista, tell the whole story if you’re gonna try to cite scripture. God only deals with those who confess their misdeeds. Every time David and Moses messed up, they admitted their sins and repented. That’s why they were so close to God. Eddie Long denied his buggery. Remember this line: “I’m not the monster they’re portraying me to be”?

        • jray

          Judas was a man of God Until that 1 act he committed in betraying Christ and Christ even said it had been better if that man had not been born than to have done this 1 single betrayal So don’t think you can repent then go back to the same act The Pharisees and Sadducees were all priests and preachers and Christ spoke against all of them you better learn a wolf in sheeps clothing

        • realadulttalk

          Really?? You do know he molested boys right??? Pastor idolization is why he still has a church…b/c much like you his congregation managed to rationalize the unthinkable. GIRL BYE!!!!!

  • Angel

    I really dont understand why Bebe Winans is on the list. He has never given off a “holier than thou” attitude or told people how to live. He made a serious mistake but does that mean he should just crawl into a hole and never speak of God again? Imo hes not the same as someone like Eddie who purposely and continually committed terrible acts, and then got up every Sunday morning to preach to people on how they should live. Like I saide he made a serious mistake…and now hes trying to correct it. So whats the problem?

  • Yepp

    I really wish people would give Crefflo a break, I WISH–I mean REALLY WISH–my fifteen year old daughter (who is actually 16) would even try to raise her voice after I tell her she is NOT going out at 1:00 in the morning. She would get her little arse whooped. Maybe Crefflo went too far but again maybe he wasn’t in the mood for that type of disrespect and as for Eddie Long on the list: I second that!

    • shellyboo

      the whole list is wack…who are we to judge…who are we to cast stones…sin is sin…no sin is greater than the next. let God deal with them. yeah it looks bad but we never know what a person is going through.

      • Imari

        Amen to that honey!!!
