(eurweb.com) Bishop Thomas Weeks faced serious financial trouble leading up to the alleged attack of his wife, televangelist Juanita Bynum, last month in Atlanta, reports the city’s FOX 5 news.
According to the report, the 40-year-old bishop left several unpaid creditors behind when he and his wife moved to Atlanta from Washington, D.C. in 2006 to expand their ministry.
FOX 5 News uncovered court documents that show Weeks led a ministry in D.C. called, Center of Hope Community Development Corporation. Court records reveal a $63,000 judgment against Weeks from copier giant, Xerox Corporation, a $22,000 judgment against Weeks from jewelry store Tiffany and Company, a $13,000 judgment from a credit card company and a $6,000 judgment from Ford Motor Credit.
Combined, Weeks owes more than $100,000 in judgments. Three of the creditors say he has yet to pay the debt.
Family members have confirmed to FOX 5 that Weeks and Bynum began leasing a $2.5 million home with six bedrooms in the St. Marlo golf community in Forsyth County in early 2006. Earlier this summer, a court gave the order to serve an eviction notice. Dispossessory documents dated for June 26, 2007 indicate Weeks owed $54,000 in past due rent at the luxury home, the station reported. (more…)
I hope all of this creates a wave of bloggers who will dig up more stuff like this because this has to stop!
While I do feel bad for Ms. Bynum in light of her beat down, I’m sorry but she is not innocent in this mess either. Her website hinted that she was going to make an appearance on TBN today. I may have to check it out.
