Bishop Thomas Weeks issues an apology to Juanita Bynum
What a difference a day makes! Just Wednesday Bishop Thomas Weeks was set to release a book called What Love Taught Me, about his marriage to and scandalous break up from Prophetess Juanita Bynum. But Thursday, via his website, bishopweeks.com, he's issued a video apology for the book and announces that its sales will immediately discontinue and refunds will be issued to anyone who pre-ordered it. Bishop Weeks goes on to say that he still loves Juanita, and he even invites her to come back to their Global Destiny Church in Atlanta.
"My love for you still stands," he wrote. "I still appreciate everything you have done for me all through the years, and you've done for this ministry. It will never be erased. It will never be forgotten. Even though I've had to remove your picture, your name, for certain reasons, you're still visible in my prayer time."
What happened to cause the sudden about-face? The couple appears to have come to some sort of amicable agreement and decided to bury the hatchet, letting bygones be bygones.
Ironically, the second of a two-part interview that Juanita did with Essence magazine some time ago hit newsstands Wednesday. Has she accepted his apology? Will she accept his invitation to come back to the church and allow people to, as he says, "hear the voice that God has anointed you to be?" Stay tuned...
