Thanks St. James for letting me know who Sherman Watkins was, I was wondering who he was after I saw him sitting on a platform at a funeral in a blue sparkly suit. Enjoy the concert, it four hours long.
Duane was and is a hot tail church boy. These older men and preachers know when these kind of boys come around. He’s full of shattt! Larry is behind all this foolishness in trying to tear Jakes down.
Not sure Larry's motive behind the interview. However I need questions answered regarding this man's claim that 35 years ago Jakes offered to financially support him for the rest of his life. If Jakes was staying at someone's home during this time, it was obvious Jakes was not in the financial situation to support anyone for life. This man is a registered sex offender. So we have receipts for that. There were no receipts for these claims regarding Jakes. I am not discounting the allegations regarding Jakes. However, there just isn't any proof to substantiate these claims. This story was more about a character assassination of Bishop Jakes than about the horrific crimes that this man himself committed. I heard more about Jakes and his mentor than the heinous crimes that this man has committed, and in my opinion is still committing. The man has just been released from jail. How delivered can he be?
I don’t question Larry’s motivation. He has been on a warpath to take down Jake’s since shortly before Carlton Pearson passed away. I see envy, I see mess! I see gossip and meddling and I wish Jake’s would SUE!!! From that fake story with Manasseh Jordan and the stupid pic of Jakes in a pink shirt that Larry tried to turn into a sexy flirtatious pic to the huge NOTHING BURGER that came from it, this is his motivation. He even openly stated it after Pearson passed away
‼️My other thought is, IF you THOUGHT Bishop Jakes was TRYING to do something inappropriate but did not do it, in THIRTY YEARS, did he ever speak to Bishop Jakes or try to reach out to him to ask if this was actually the intention or to let him know that he perceived it this way before running to talebearing hot to gossip and slander LARRY REID??!!!
I am confused. How can you explicitly remember certain aspects but you cannot remember others that allegedly happened? Is he still pastoring? Allowed around children? Is he still married? Is he actually on the sex offenders list? It is apparent that he has experienced childhood trauma but is the person Jake who did it to him or is it a mask to hide the identity of the person? It's not adding up... He needs to seek therapy and keep a lawyer on retainer.
When you experience Truama or anything there are things that affect you enough that you never forget the details of those things but not ALL of the details. I can attest to that on many occasions
Nope! I am NOT buying dude’s story about him driving Jakes around at 18 yo and having to borrow his mother’s car. I could possibly believe Jakes would allow his son to drive him… but based on things I’ve heard Bishop Noel Jones say about Jakes publicly, I cannot imagine him being that free with an 18 yo and just going out to a restaurant. Jones made it clear that Jakes doesn’t like being out and around the public much for recreation and dining. To the point that he has a salon or spa in his home or something like that so he can enjoy his privacy without ppl coming up to him. It was in a context that had nothing to do with a scenario like this. Not sure if this account this guy gives is supposed to be before Jakes was more well known. But as of the early 2000s, to 2006 or so.. NOPE!
Seems to me that Larry’s strategy is to keeping 💩💩💩ing on Jake’s name via OTHERS who make nebulous accusations of inappropriateness without evidence or proof, but not enough to risk a DEFAMATION LAWSUIT. Enough to satiate the gossips in the church who hate Jakes or envy him as payback for whatever Gripe Larry has against him. Nothing you can call out as a sin or a crime but added up and accumulated INFERENCES. It’s trifling and trashy.
Interesting how neither of you seem to be open to the possibility that TD Jake’s isn’t who he presents to be….. I have been a psychiatrist for over 20 years, you seem to be looking for behavioral ques or statements to solidify this man’s experience I don’t know if what he’s saying is true or not, I do however know that the truth does not lie in an “specific” way of being or telling his story. Would you dissect his story this way if he was a woman and if it was her father she was talking about as opposed to a man talking about TD Jake’s.? Would your commentary be the same?
It isn’t that no one wants to believe he isn’t who he claims or says to be.. but why would anyone be inclined to believe that simply because of GOSSIP AND RUMORS by people who are NOT CREDIBLE and despite all the claims NEVER come with evidence and are NEVER CREDIBLE IN CHARACTER!! Their stories always have holes in them and things that do not make sense or sound logical or reasonable.
@ as I stated previously I don’t know if it’s true or not and that’s not my point. U actually just proved my point. The issue is not asking questions the issue is HOW we question. There are many prostitutes, liars and thieves who have been sexually, mentally and or emotionally abused. By your standards they are not “credible” people. Yet that does not erase the abuse they suffered. And what makes it gosssip? Women share their stories decades later in public ways all the time, is that gossip? So again, it’s not about guilt or innocence non of us know that answer. And becasue we don’t know we have to be aware of how we dismiss and discredit people based on our own biases……. And that’s the point I was making.
Sir, no shade or disrespect, but I find your comments extremely biased. You seem to be an apologist for Jakes, excusing his actions from this VICTIM'S lips. (His SECOND public accuser matter of fact.) But, you crucify the cleric from NY's Abyssinian Church. It seems thAt you may not appreciate masculine presenting Cis males or you have recieved financial contributions from persons that influence your approach or are SA allegations ok when reporting on non masculine presenting Cis males? No shade, but could you explain the difference in coverage? IJS
You jump to conclusions claiming that Jakes had “ acts” that you don’t even KNOW he allegedly committed. Did this guy present ANY EVIDENCE of his claims at all? Or are you quick to believed a claim with no evidence because you have already made up your mind based on your bias or endless rumors you would prefer to believe that the u substantiated claims are true?
‼️My other thought is, IF you THOUGHT Bishop Jakes was TRYING to do something inappropriate but did not do it, in THIRTY YEARS, did he ever speak to Bishop Jakes or try to reach out to him to ask if this was actually the intention or to let him know that he perceived it this way before running to talebearing hot to gossip and slander LARRY REID??!!!
