: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Prophetess Juanita Bynum is going to be featured in next month's issue of Essence magazine. From what we're being told, she talks openly about getting beat up by her husband - but is evasive about her and the church's finances.
Sometimes we wish Essence would step up their game and ask some real questions. Anyway, here are some snippets of the interview:
Describing The Attack By Bishop Weeks:
And then he just grabbed me, and he grabbed me around my throat and threw me to the ground. I said, "Oh, my God, my head!" because the whole sky was spinning. And when I turned around, that's when I got the first kick. I screamed out, "Please don't kill me!..."Why She Stayed In An Abusive Marriage:
I don't want anybody to think I was stupid for staying; I stayed because of who I was-I had to be careful. My thoughts were, I can't get a divorce. What would people say? How would they view me? I just felt like I needed to pray more. And I did, and it did get better. We went three years without him getting physical, but then the verbal rage would still be there.On Her Financial Troubles:
When people can see where you came from and see what you are today and know looking at where you came from and know that there is no real legal reason why you should even be left standing and you're still standing, that is when God gets the glory. That's when people say there must be a God somewhere. That's where my stand is right now.
THERE ARE NO EXCUSES FOR STAYING IN A ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. IF YOU STAYED IN IT FOR YEAR'S IT'S OBVIOUS YOU LIKED GETTING YOUR *** BEAT! SHE COULD OF CALLED THE POLICE, HIT HIM BACK OR JUST LEFT HIM BUT INSTEAD SHE STAYED AND WORRIED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WOULD THINK ABOUT HER. WHICH DOESN'T MAKE SINCE WHY WOULD YOU PICK GETTING YOUR *** BEAT AND WONDERING WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO THINK OVER JUST GETTING OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP? I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR AT ALL!
juanita been on my list 4 a while now!! she's full of ***. now when she first came out preaching she talked about being raised in the hood. now u mean to tell me this man was beatin the hell outta you and you just layed there. naw..she just want attention cause a real hood gurl would have fought the hell back. you kiddin me.he look xtra sweet so i know for a fact i can kick his ***. Knowin her she provoked him..(that game him no right to hit her) but come on.....*yawns* im sorry... good morning all!!! lol..... juanita move on my goodness.....
Please, she is fake as all get out. Any one that beleives a word that comes outta her mouth, you are being fouled. Can you see the forest for the trees. I am so tired of these folks talking about they are doing God's work..Since when did the lord live in a mansion with servents. When is hte last time you heard abut the Lord balling outta control? Now I am all for people doing better for themseleves, but do it at the expense of those that are looking for hope. All religions is is hope! That is why it "sales". And to play on peoples hopes and dreams that what they do in this life will make it better for them in the after life is wrong. People wake up the Bible say be wary of wolves in sheep clothing. THink for yourseleves don't be foloowers be leaders.
man this begging woman gets on my nerves....get a job loser and stop relying on the public to help you out, what's wrong with you....too good to get a 9 to 5 or too lazy to start your own business.....I have no pity for you.....do something instead of playing the victim...you disgust me especially as a blk girl, I'm ashamed of you! cry baby.
I wish that she would just find somewhere and go there and chill. Enough already with her drama in the name of God. She's a fake plain and simple and to use the pulpit and God's house to push her agenda is a sin in itself. The sad part of all this is the blind followers (specifically black women) who look up to her, make excuses for her, defend her, and support her finacially. I say read the word of God for yourself so as to not be blindly lead by a false prophet and take your issues directly to God because you don't need a middle man or intermediary.
First-MTO don't you have another picture of Ms. Weeks. Second-A Prophetess...............EXCUSE ME, as a lowly flesh filled person full of sin(talking about myself) you see things in a man when you get involved with them. She had to see he had a temper and he could throw some blows. But this is a woman who talks to God and God talks to her and she got NO MESSAGE. I am getting on my knees and I suggest Juanita get back down on hers and do some real praying and GET REAL! This is ***##t now! Don't play with God and his people. She need to *** up and go back to doing God's work. This is her FLESH Stanking now. You wanted D34K, you got it. It's gone. Get back to kingdom business. We don't need more trash to fill our empty vessels. We are looking for connections to our heavenly father. Go sit yourself down and zip your lips QUICK. Amen
Sassicakes read the word, the lord said in my house is many mansions, if it was not so I would not have told you, I go and prepare a place for you. and i believe this word cause i have never been without a place to sleep. He told me to call on his angels. did you know when i write let all the heaven stop and praise the lord. Praise the lord. all of heaven just stopped and bowed down to God.Read the word and know the word, don't ever think our Heavenly father the most high God the one and only God is some pitiful looking person with sandals and raggedy clothing. I rebuke that in Jesus name.

Gurl you a trip....that *** is funny as hail.....ROTFLMAO.....
MTO is lieing the Essence interview NEVER mentioned her finances or her being broke, the last heading on her finances is incorrect. MTO is tripping I have the interview. They are starting *** that's because Juanita Bynum is still very wealthy. With the exception of her co-signing Weaks and his church Global Destiny she has never had a physical church so to speak. That property she just purchased last year for 4.5 million will be her first physical structure for the Juanita Bynum Ministries.
Antidumb, she is extremely wealthy, but she's stingy with her money. God don't like stingy. I always said she would be more blessed if she were more generous. She did spend a million dollars on her wedding, she in the last 15 years has built a mini-empire by selling millions selling DVD, Books, Gospel CD's and plays, tours. She packs stadiums when she speaks, packs churches, conferences etc. And she has been doing it non-stop for years.
Mmlobe, I heard about her on that rich site, I guess after spending money to help the borke fruitcake she married, she wants a man with his own ends. Plus I believe Juanita may end up paying alimony, if he does not end get convicted. She gonna need a new husband with money. :D
Until this woman heals herself, I can't see anyone following her. It is evident that Juanita needs to find "Juanita" before she can preach about anything else to anybody and that may take some years. A person of God doesn't have to be so blinded by their own image that they feel ashamed to divorce someone who's abusing her. No, Juanita needs to take a sabbatical and get herself together.
No one is perfect and I'm quite sure other Christians don't expect perfection from her however, I'm glad we have women like CeCe Winans who has not strayed from her gospel roots and has had a loving marriage for over 20 years. Perhaps Juanita can consult someone in the ministry like Cece.
A person who has never had anything is the first to blow everything. Ms.Byum was never a rich woman and that's why the first thing she did was have a lavish $1,000,000 wedding. Her Christian insight was skewed and money is not the key to happiness. Her spirit seemed strong to TV viewers, however this is how her immature husband was able to latch onto her and bring her down. She was never strong in the first place.
According to the word of God, God knew you before you were conceived and established a perfect will for your life. God in his perfection, established who her husband was before she was conceived. If she prayed and WAITED on him to speak, she would have not gotten into this mess to begin with. Hasty speculation breeds poverty. Secondly, with all the money she raked in from her enterprise *** ripping off people,there's NO WAY SHE SHOULD BE IN DEBT.Do you have any idea how much she charges to speak somewhere? She lived above her means at the expense of people who are blinded to the wolf in sheeps clothing. Jesus said "I wish above all things that you be ingood health and that you prosper. The sin isnt in the prosperity but in the handling of it thereof. The love of money is the root of all evil. If you met her face to face more recently, there is no glow or evidence of the true annointing. As a true Christian, I can look at some one and know if they are in Christ. Our spirits connect. Lucifer knows the word as well. We need to pray God strengthens discernment to weed out and pray for those pimping the pulpit. Judgement begins in the church and many more will be exposed and even drop dead. You can use ur gift for evil. Read the word.

We need to slow up on saying that she could just leave. Abused women stay for many reasons and it is incredibly hard to judge. I have sympathy for her situation and I hope that all of her press and efforts are really to help other women get out of bad situations and not just another way to minister for dollars.

Juanita is a "west-side" chick from the Chi. There is no way that she let that man beat her like that without putting up a fight and she probably started the fight with that mouth of hers. I don't believe she is completely broke but I don't think she's rich either. She appears to be a woman who spends money impulsively and I doubt that she has any idea how to invest. My personal opinion is that she may have started out sincere but the money and the fame got good to her and now she is corrupt. Money tends to do that to people who aren't used to having any.
