“FOX 5 News has learned that Weeks’ financial past includes several civil court judgments against the 40-year-old bishop.
Court documents show that before moving to Duluth, Georgia, Weeks led a ministry in Washington, 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. In total, there is more than $100,000 in judgments against Weeks. Three of the creditors say Weeks still has not paid the debt.
When Weeks moved to Duluth in early 2006, family members confirmed that he and his wife, Juanita Bynum began leasing a $2.5 million home with six bedrooms in the St. Marlo golf community in Forsyth County.
Earlier this summer, a court gave the order to serve an eviction notice.
“We were given an order from our magistrate court to serve an eviction at the residence,” said Captain Mike Honiker of the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Department.
Dispossessory documents dated for June 26, 2007 indicate Weeks owed $54,000 in past due rent at the luxury home.
According to the eviction notice issued at the magistrate court in Forsyth County, when deputies went to Weeks’ home to serve the eviction notice, Weeks and all of his furniture was gone.
A source familiar with the housing arrangement told FOX 5 News that after Weeks defaulted on the first contract, he made a payment toward the debt and entered into a new contract agreement to buy the high-end home by April of 2008.”
Ok let me get this right…you owe Xerox, Ford, Tiffany and Co., credit cards…what!?!? 2.5 Million dollar house in ATL…you are renting it…you don’t own it…what?!?!? If you are so blessed and you preach prosperity why do you have so much debt. I don’t get it. At least be as richly blessed as you claim to be, not 2 steps (or maybe punches in his case) way from bankruptcy. Both he and his wife, Juanita, have been perpetrating a fraud. I assumed that they were living the life that rich ministers and tele-evangelists say they have. Big cars, big homes, big churches…paid for, and financially blessed. No bondage to debt, right? Well, I guess I was wrong.
I think Apostle Brian S. Lewis has summed the thoughts of many people up very nicely in his rebuke of Bynum and Weeks. “
“In “The Pressure of the Press (Part 3),” a sermon posted on YouTube, Pastor Lewis said, “ Why do you think what happened with Bishop Weeks and Juanita Bynum? That’s the rod of God’s correction. You can’t lie to God. Don’t be deceived for God is not mocked. For whatever you sow, you shall reap.” He acknowledged that he knew the sermon was going to be on TV.
“You know what I feel like telling them and this is me being sarcastic,” he said, “ Bishop you wanna get out of jail, you don’t wanna have to go to jail and to have to experience a trial and you don’t want your ministry to fail, why don’t you sow a seed? Why don’t you sow a seed for the next 12 months? Why don’t you sow $100,000 a month for the next 12 months and watch your deliverance?”
“Juanita Bynum, you don’t like what you went through? You don’t like being stomped in the groin? You don’t like being beat by a man, why don’t you just sow a seed?” he asked. “You know why God is judging you because you can’t sow a seed to get out of your problems ”” – click here for more
