Popular Pentecostal evangelist Juanita Bynum told police Thursday that she intends to file charges against her estranged husband who allegedly attacked her in a parking lot early Wednesday.
A spokesman with the Atlanta Police Department said Thursday that officers were making plans to meet with Bynum to investigate the case.
The preacher, whose fiery and frank sermons about women's empowerment have won her a national following, could not be reached for comment Thursday. Authorities said the evangelist, who has a home in the metro Atlanta area, had been whisked away by family as they decide what to do next to protect the preacher from her estranged husband Thomas W. Weeks III.
"She was pretty upset about the incident," said Ron Campbell, spokesman for the Atlanta Police Department. "At this point, she is at an undisclosed location trying to stay away from him."
Campbell said the couple was trying to reconcile at a restaurant in the Renaissance Concourse Hotel when their meeting went sour.
As the couple headed toward parking lot about 4 a.m. Wednesday, they got into a physical fight.
"He began to choke her, he pushed her down and started kicking on her and stomping her," Campbell said. "The bellman of the hotel actually witnessed the incident and pulled Mr. Weeks off of her."
Campbell said she was "bruised up and battered," and had "purple bruising around her neck and upper torso."
The husband, who is also a preacher, left the scene.

Protestantism is heresy and the folks in the article are its fruit.

I think the work you are seeking is Heresy
Folks clad in white prancing on stage and publicly proclaiming women above God are heretics. The prots are welcome t them.
Pathetic. (their teaching always was pathetic). Maybe at she'll learn that their Wordks-faith teaching is all based on lies now. But I won't hold my breath. I've seen a lot of hard-headedness from the Works-faith crowd.
Actually most protestants I know consider these people heretics too.
I don't know that this is a catholic vs protestant thread. I suppose you could go to a catholic thread and bash protestants if you like.
uh-oh...
Which picture?
“Popular Pentecostal evangelist Juanita Bynum”
Never heard of her.
(the sort of disdainful reply given to grunts in “The Dirty Dozen”)
I’m not a Catholic.
I’m sure gnostics considered their wackier members to be heretics too.
I never heard Mother Theresa say anything like this. Got evidence to support your claim?
Just read the worshipful comments about the “prophetess” following the AJC article. Good grief, how pathetic and brainwashed can people get? So desperate to worship/follow a man or woman, and send all their money to him/her.
see post 4
Its the same picture as was in the article.
I look forward to seeing pictures of you in a white choir robe, high heels, and a ponytail.
What?
In the biography Mother Teresa: Her People and Her Work, she is quoted by Desmond Doig as follows: “If in coming face to face with God we accept Him in our lives, then we are converting. We become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are. ... What approach would I use? For me, naturally, it would be a Catholic one, for you it may be Hindu, for someone else, Buddhist, according to one’s conscience. What God is in your mind you must accept” (Doig, Mother Teresa, Harper & Row, 1976, p. 156).
My secondary source, which contains a full article regarding her theology, is wayoflife.org.

Thanks for the info. Any time I had every heard Mother Theresa speak, she was giving all the glory to Christ. Apparently, she had two faces when it came to Christ.

Do you see something heretical in a choir member singing in a white choir-robe ?
literally speaking? (and so yea being a vocal advocate that women are superior to men would break this all over the place)
1Cr 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Cr 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1Cr 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
As I wrote to my son recently when he asked for support on women being prohibited from being pastors/teachers of men:
Readest thou 1 Corinthians 11:1 - 12. Then jump over to chapter 14 - read the whole thang, but zero in on vs 34 & 35. This forbidding of women to speak in church is in the context of maintaining order by and among those who proclaim the Word of God within the church. It, therefore, does not forbid women to speak, but forbids them from speaking as an elder or prophet (one who proclaims the Word).
FBC Corinth wasn’t the only church needing to hear about this. So the Apostle Paul also instructed Timothy on this matter, as many churches need the whole counsel of God. 1 Timothy 2:8 - 14 has the same message as 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
Now this next bit is a bit off topic, but it’s my favorite verse in the Bible about women (as rendered in KJV):
2 Timothy 3:1 - 7 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” ha ha ha.
