Bishop Weeks Fights...Er uh...WRITES (Juanita) Back

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder…

It seems that Bishop Weeks is not contesting the divorce filed by Juanita Bynum in principle, but IS seeking alimony and other financial support in a response filed to her divorce petition.

Weeks’ financial troubles have been widely reported and to that end, Weeks is also seeking for the debt incurred by the couple during the marriage to be split accordingly to individual responsibility, not straight down the center in a 50/50 fashion.

When Juanita Bynum’s people were asked if there was any statement to be made in response to these latest actions by Weeks; through a publicist Bynum had “no comment.”

That’s strange, last Mo’Kelly checked, Bynum has had plenty of comments as “the new face of domestic violence.” Maybe not about Weeks per se, but that “threshing floor” finance plea was one serious comment. Her many appearances in the media specifically around the precipitating incident itself were clearly “comments.”

Why “no comment” now? Mo’Kelly’s beginning to think this “no comment” disease first suffered by TD Jakes is contagious. Given the proximity of the aforementioned, it makes sense. The symptoms are: speaking out against trivialities and having “no comment” about the more important issues that hit closer to home.

Mo’Kelly’s maintained this stance for quite some time. If you are going to be all up in the media with interviews and television appearances with the goal of advancing your “professional career” (yes professional career, not the Gospel of Jesus Christ), why NOT also talk about the details of the divorce?

And before some of you say “the divorce is a ‘private’ matter,” let’s be real.

In one month Bynum has turned the domestic violence issue into tabloid TV. She shouldn’t turn back now. The issue of domestic violence has never been out in front with Juanita Bynum, it clearly has been all about "Juanita" under the pretense of domestic violence.

All "privacy" arguments went out the window with her appearance on Good Morning America and her "threshing floor" video. Neither of which had anything to do with the fight against domestic violence.

No…she’s come TOO far down this road of self-aggrandizement to turn back now. Bynum shouldn’t offer to whet our spiritual appetites with tiny morsels of reasonable behavior and moderate integrity with a haphazard “no comment” every now and then. Bynum should be all she can be.

Have a comment ALL the time.

If one is bold and brazen enough to ask for 200k in “emergency seeds” for a “threshing floor,” BECAUSE of the incident, “taking the high road” is then off the table.

Forever.

The "high road" isn't even visible from that "threshing floor" low road.

If one has so much temerity to use domestic violence as a ploy to gain more “worldly items”…taking the high road is no longer an option.

If one is so irresponsible to ask for the 200k on top of all the revenue received from books, CDs, conferences, appearance fees, registrations, blind donations wasted on a million-dollar wedding and renting a multi-million-dollar house…don’t stop being bold and brazen now.

"Taking the high road" (especially in the pulpit) is not whimsical in nature. It's all or nothing. All the time or not at all.

Bynum should have a comment each and every single time. She'd at least then be consistent to who she has shown herself to be.

Go all the way and be all you can be Juanita.
