President Obama Speaks At 2012 National Prayer Breakfast [VIDEO]

My Praise ATL — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:42:15 +0000

Speaking at the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama said his Christian faith is a driving force behind his economic policies.

Speaking to more than 3,000 people at the annual breakfast, Obama said, for example, that his own call for fairness in the tax code – a central tenet of his State of the Union address and his 2012 campaign – is both economically sound and consistent with the teachings of Jesus.

Watch his address below:

Jewish Leaders Offended By Eddie Long’s “King” Ceremony [VIDEO]

My Praise ATL — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 22:05:00 +0000

We posted a video yesterday of a January 29th service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church where Bishop Eddie Long was crowned a king by Ralph Messer — who claims to be a Rabbi bringing Torah truth to Christians.

“He’s no longer a commoner,” said Messer. “He’s not on the Earth! He’s raised from Earth into a Heavenly realm! He’s raised in a prophetic position…God has made a prophet out of you.”

During the ceremony Eddie Long was also wrapped in a sacred Torah scroll and carried upon a throne. Messer claimed the Torah scroll was 312 years old and “may still have the dust of Auschwitz and Birkenau,” referring to the Nazi extermination camps in Poland where millions of Jews were killed during the Holocaust.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution spoke with several metro Atlanta Jewish leaders who found the ceremony offensive to Judaism, including Bill Nigut, Southeast Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League.

Rabbi Joshua Heller of Congregation B’nai Torah in Sandy Springs told the AJC that he would never wrap a Jewish person in a Torah scroll, saying he found the symbolism off-putting.

In a statement released through New Birth, Messer said critics misunderstood his intent.

“My message was about restoring a man and to encourage his walk in the Lord,” Messer said. “It was not to make Bishop Eddie L. Long a king.”

Messer added that Sunday’s ceremony “was simply a way of bringing honor to a man who had given his life to the Lord and had given so much to his church, the Atlanta metro area and throughout the world.”

Introducing “The Real Preacher Wives Of Atlanta”

Darlene McCoy — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:43:08 +0000

Move over Real Housewives of whatever and make room for the women of the cloth.

TLC is capitalizing on the latest trend of reality shows and giving the world what it really wants to see with a new series “First Ladies” of the Atlanta area churches.

With True Entertainment, the same production company behind RHOA, behind it, how could it go wrong?

“We are excited to work with TLC to profile the lives of these strong-willed women,” True Entertainment president Steven Weinstock says. “With most praise in religious communities directed towards male preachers, we are thrilled to give these remarkable ladies the spotlight they crave and deserve.”

The series will follow the women who play the role of preacher’s wives and mothers at home. The real drama is how they manage both while keeping their cool.

An airdate has yet to be announced. But they need to hurry that up because it’s bound to be a popular one.

Is Ted Turner Marlo Hampton’s Of “RHOA” Sugar Daddy?

My Praise ATL — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 21:44:01 +0000

For the longest time we have wondered how Marlo Hampton, of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” lives the lavish lifestyle she portrays on TV.

Until last week, we had no clue as to where her funds came from. That was until cast-mate Sheree made a startling claim that Marlo sleeps with an 80-year-old white man to get money!

According to a source:

“Ted Turner was Marlo’s sugar daddy. My understanding is that Marlo is one of the reasons why Jane Fonda divorced Ted Turner.

Ted Turner is the ‘sponsor’ who financed the The Red Carpet Boutique Marlo had at the Perimeter Mall in ATL. Marlo knows how to get money, she’s a true hustler.”

CNN founder Ted Turner is allegedly worth over two billion dollars!
