Honestly it just seems to me that this man deserves the same benefit of mercy, grace understanding and forgiveness that we have given his ex wife. She came out of that same marriage, not her first either, and hit the ground (no pun intended) running. She went straight to the magazines, and television and part of her message now is about making a mark in the world (secular). She's gone to tv shows, and divorce court of all places. This man doesn't seem to be doing anything but trying to move on with his life and yes, desiring another wife. We say it's the same for her as for him, but when the discussion gets off to a rolling start oh he's just the worst thing and she's this perfect little victim. Why can't he get the same benefit of mercy from us? Because it's certainly not a matter of him getting it from God. It's not God but God's people who hold grudges and keep people hostage to their past sins and failures. Who's really saying, "pluck that chicken! fry him and eat him!" Amen!! especially since maybe if it wasnt juanita that he had married that the fuss would be minimal. Do i believe that people shd get married straight after a divorce? possibly not however bearing in mind that most people separate for years before the actual signing of documents and are already separated sometimes for years that the divorce becomes evidence of something that has already taken place sometimes years before. Weekes aside it also happens sometimes it can be that one person who walks out for whatever reason ranging from boredom to' i need to find myself'while the other still wants to be with someone. Besides which i now believe that it takes God since waiting for years to be healed of issues theology does not equate a good marriage, staying single for decades does not necessarily equal a good marriage there are folks who had arranged marriages and saw each other only once before the marriage and are happily married 30 years later. I have chosen to be single for a number of years and it has not necessarily honed any 'wife' skills lol so saints with everything it takes God. My mum married my dad as a teenager a no no today and they went on to have a very happy marriage my mum never worked a day of her life and certainly did not have her own place as many women think they shd but she was certainly a good wife and the love of his life. In my culture it is not a big deal for a man/woman to remarry after divorce, death or whatever we prefer that to having people fornicating around the place. saints i do see where we are all coming from but seriously some men do not necessarily want the miss going for it, got her own thing everything in place sometimes all a man or woman wants is someone to share their life and their bed with cause they are genuinely lonely at that stage of their life-they are financially comfortable, have evrything and just do not want to be on their own and they shd not be penalized cause u can have all the hobbies and interests in the world and still want to be married because it is a very god given need. u can be lonely and it not be carnal so i echo sister keita's question in line with what the word says: what is wrong with him seeking a wife? Sister kitty has summed it up that it is not like they would not know what they shd be asking and checking on before they walk down that aisle. lol p.s: a man who wants sex is not in the wrong it is a very god given need for men the only thing is they shd not allow the need but God to direct them. |

Bishop Weeks looking for a new wife after Bynum Financial woes increase for ex-wife By D. AILEEN DODD The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Thursday, September 18, 2008 Fresh off his divorce from national evangelist Juanita Bynum, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III is looking for love again — this time on his own reality show. Weeks, head of Duluth-based Global Destiny International Ministries, wants a new wife to mend his broken heart. Enlarge this image Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III, the ex-husband of evangelist Juanita Bynum, is documenting his search for a new wife on his Web site.RELATED: • The Weeks-Bynum story And he’s skipping the usual path to romance: chance meetings, singles mixers, social networking, speeding dating, fix-ups. He is seeking advice from his followers. Weeks will document his effort to open his heart to love again in 10 streaming video “Web Episodes” of his reality show “WHO WILL BE THE NEXT MRS. WEEKS,” which airs at noon Tuesday on his Web site www.bishopweeks.com. The idea came after Weeks was flooded with thousands of e-mails and letters from people offering advice about what to look for in his third wife. Some even offered to be his wife. “There are some very adamant women,” says Weeks’ associate, Minister Guy Reeves of Global Destiny. “A lady from Belgium flew all the way here to meet him. She came to the campus. She wanted to be the next Mrs. Weeks like many others who have approached me about their strong desire to be Bishop Weeks’ wife.” Weeks is inviting his followers to observe his personal life so they can get a Christian perspective on dating and coping with the desire for intimacy. The Pentecostal pastor will soon release a book about the subject called “Finding Yourself While In Transition.” Viewers of his reality show can share their opinions on being single and his search for a mate by sending e-mails or chatting live with Weeks. “What kind of advice would you give me about the new Mrs. Weeks?” he asks on a Web site promo of the episode. “We will probably find in due time who is that perfect woman for me,” Weeks says. “This time I’m not going to limit it just to the local church … It’s a global ministry. We’ve got to have a global search.” Weeks is still serving probation for attacking Bynum in August 2007 outside of the Renaissance Concourse Hotel in Atlanta. He was charged with aggravated assault as a first offender and has completed the required community service hours and anger management counseling. Weeks says he hopes to wed again someday. His Web Episodes, however, won’t be an open call for a wife like typical reality dating shows. But if women send love letters — they will likely be shared. As for his standards, Weeks says on his promo the next Mrs. Weeks “can’t be ugly. She has to be easy on the eyes.”============================================== I don't care what anybody say... He is still out to hurt JB... "she must be easy on the eyes" he know JB is heavy with eye make up.... but she is Not ugly.... He want to stay in the limelight.. He asking for a wife on his reality show... This an embarrassement to the Church.. |

Are you implying that his statement is specifically referrring to eye make up? What happened to easy on the eyes, meaning attractive? While I don't feel that it really is an issue of "Im going to hurt JB" lets just say, for the sake of discussion that this is his sole intent. He's making comments to hurt her, He's seeking a new wife to hurt her. Lets say all of this is true. If it is true, then he's setting himself up, for another failfure, and he will have no one to blame but himself. If I was JB, I wouldn't give a Hot diggity Dog! Which It might be safe to assume, that she doesn't. |

I don't know if it true... but what is his real motive?... to send out emails, announcing he looking for a wife on his web-site and doing a internet reality show.... This is not only put him back in the lmedia, but now they are going after JB again... He getting alot of response and some winks by gay men  I don't think she care.... she probably praising God for setting her free from this man.... someone posted this on Youtube Lust-demon@bishop-devil.com  |

She probably is. But like I said before I know it has to hurt that your ex- spouse is already looking for a new spouse just 3 months after you all divorced. Whatever she does or He does is always going to reflect back on each other.
I still think there is a motive for him doing this. He could have kept this to himself. He put the age limit down to 21 and he's 41. This woman will be the first lady of his church and his daughter's step mother. He's not thinking about none of that, just himself. That's very selfish.
I still wondering why no one has stopped him yet and said enough is enough.

According to the reality show on his website, "easy on the eyes" means he wants someone pretty and nice looking because she will be first lady and he doesn't want anybody ugly on his arm.
That statement wasn't anything against Juanita. He knows that Juanita is an attractive woman so He thinks he needs a woman just as attractive as she is. He knows people will make comments if the woman is not.

A few questions: 1) What's wrong with being 41 and marrying someone that's 21? 2) What's wrong with a young pastor's wife? 3) What's wrong with being a step mother at 21 (no matter what the age of the child)? 4) Should who you marry be based on those things? 5) What makes it selfish and isn't marriage more of an individual (with God of course) decision? *Dislaimer: Personally, I don't believe he should be getting remarried anyways (which most of you know why). But did want to comment. |

1) What's wrong with being 41 and marrying someone that's 21?
2) What's wrong with a young pastor's wife?
3) What's wrong with being a step mother at 21 (no matter what the age of the child)?
4) Should who you marry be based on those things?
5) What makes it selfish and isn't marriage more of an individual (with God of course) decision? More excellent questions, sis nikkol. And I would add/repeat my own earlier one: Paul said:
"Now, concerning the things that you wrote about: It's good for men not to get married.But in order to avoid sexual sins, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband." (1Cor 7:1-2) [/size] I say to those who are not married, especially to widows: It is good for you to stay single like me.
However, if you cannot control your desires, you should get married. It is better for you to marry than to burn [with sexual desire].[/i] (1Cor 7:8-9)[/b] So, (apart from the publicity stunt method,) what's the problem with TW seeking a wife?[/quote] largely because I noticed that although many others did, neither of the folks who seem most distressed by Thomas Weeks' "wife search", and particularly his sexuality, have addressed that question. Oh and this: puts me in mind of another thread HERE...  |

A few questions:
1) What's wrong with being 41 and marrying someone that's 21
2) What's wrong with a young pastor's wife? ? I believe in life after divorce.... and I am not really into the age limit...But... Would you want your daughter, nieces or young cousins to marry Bishop Weeks, Knowing that he can be verbal and physical abusive, all his sexual habits and desires on display, with two failed marriage, holding the title Bishop, but not living up to it? Nothing at all, as long as she is mature enough to deal with issues, when it come up... No... but should you be blind and walk into a marriage with someone like TW, knowing almost all his issues... and be on display and apart of a reality show, like some form of game? It is all about him .... his wants ... his desires and to keep his name in the media and to feed his sexual drives... It could have been done on his face, in his prayer closer... asking God why he failed two marriages and prepare himself spiritually and mentally so he can be the husband to wife #3 that God intended him to be... His, to be wife should be above what he want and desire, but what God have for him... I believe in re-marriage, but my personal feeling is that a person should not jump up, divorce and re-marry over foolishness... Continuous Adultery, Verbal, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical Abusive and Extreme Additions, that is unbearable... are reason for divorce in my opinion.... I hate divorce, but I know sometime there no other choice... and it should be end of life, especially for a young person. |

this is something else..Ladies, we really have to be honest with ourselves. Men are wired differently than women are and for whatever reason this man has made it known that he wants a wife. We don't know if the union will take place next year, this year, or whenever.
I was thinking about this post yesterday and I remembered something that happened in my own life. I went steady with this brother for short period of time...I really thought we had something...anyway, in less than a year after we had broken up..he had several relationships and less than a 1 1/2 yr.. he had remarried, and approx 6 mths later..he had divorced. All I am saying is that men don't wait around like women, they don't pine, and it as crazy as it seems. Just maybe they know something we don't. as for TW..he's wants a wife and who can say whether he is ready or needs another wife at this time. Just maybe the wants son..as most men do and feels that he hasn't reached one the goals he has sat for himself...who knows. ONLY God and TW know the truth as to why this is being done at this time.

Do you think it is God, for TW to send out emails nationally and internationally, knowing the mind set of some women and doing a reality show... He playing games... many women are responsing, some actually leaving their home, thinking they're the one... What happen to praying and seeking God for a saved, godly help mate, one that he can spend the rest of his life with, instead of a barbie doll that can please at night and make him look good on Sunday morning.... He also opening the door for gay men to lust after him.. What happen to self-control, waiting on God, prayer, and allowing God to lead you?...
If it was JB... she would have been thrown under the bus and in the mud

Scripturally and specifically addressing your derision and criticism of Thomas Weeks' sex drive as it relates to his "wife search" was a major reason that I asked that question in the first place. So I'm really and especially interested in your response to that...and still waiting. Btw, I actually do appreciate you both "going there". It led to what I thought was some really good scriptural discussion about sexual desire in Christians which resulted in a whole lot of getting and being real about that. In a way, you helped us to at least clarify that, at this point, no matter our opinions of TW, including how, when, where and why he's doing what he's doing, there is nevertheless nothing unscriptural, let alone sinful about his "wife search". I think that clear distinction is especially important if and when the actions and character of the man or woman of GOD are being questioned, criticized and/or judged. No matter who they are. |

So I'm really and especially interested in your response to that...and still waiting.[/quote] TW made his sexual level and drive an open book... which caused many of his members to leave his church. I can't find any scriptures that say to have a reality show... or seduce saved and unsaved women and gay men. Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.... It didn't say wives.... how many women he can have? he causing thousand to response to he calling... some actually leaving their home thinking they are the one. There is a seducing spirit being manifested. He not a lay person... he a Bishop.... I Timothy 3:1-7 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife (not wives), vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covertous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and snare of the devil.....[/color] In Galatians 5:19 .... the work of the flesh.... the first four listed deals with sexual sin.... He may not be an adulter or a fornicater ( Don't know), but he mention having sex with himself According to some of his former members... that what he focus on the most in his conferences/workshop, teaching and sermons... I believe it not just an burning desire, but a lust spirit... I can't say... His desire to be re-married is outrageous, how he doing it is outrageous.... How many women he going to disappoint, hurt and reject? What happen to prayers, seeking God and being led by the Holy Spirit.... He nolonger hear from God? My niece who is not saved... think he is outrageous... He is playing with desperated women... |

I don't think she care.... she probably praising God for setting her free from this man.... 
These ppl don't even care about his previous marriages. He didn't asked for a saved wife
