BREAKING NEWS! WATCH! PASTOR DUANE YOUNGBLOOD ACCUSES BISHOP TD JAKES OF “SEXUAL ASSAULT” SAYING “JAKES TRIED TO GROOM HIM, HUG HIM AND ‘TRIED TO KISS’ HIM” WHEN HE WAS 18 OR 19 YEARS OLD. PASTOR YOUNGBLOOD IS DEMANDING $6 MILLION. YOUNGBLOOD HAS THE SAME ATTORNEY AS “LIL ROD” WHO IS SUING SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS FOR THE SAME THING. BISHOP TD JAKES HAS RESPONDED BY FILING A DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST PASTOR DUANE YOUNGBLOOD.
DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, HAS PUBLICLY WARNED TD JAKES OVER THE PAST DECADE OF GOD’S SLOW ROLLING, LOVING, GRACIOUS, DISMANTLING AND UNRAVELLING OF PREACHERS, THEIR MINISTRIES AND OTHERS WHO FORGET WHERE GOD HAS BROUGHT THEM FROM AND START BELIEVING THEIR OWN HYPE, GET THE BIG HEAD, START JOINING UP WITH THE WORLD AGAINST GOD, AND THROUGH HUBRIS AND PRIDE THEY COME TUMBLING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN THAT GOD HELPED THEM TO CLIMB.
WHYTE MENTIONED ON SUNDAY THE FOLLOWING, GIVING TD JAKES THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT:
DANIEL WHYTE III, PRESIDENT OF GOSPEL LIGHT SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL, SAYS PRAY FOR TD JAKES, HIS FAMILY, AND THE CHURCH AS HE HAS BEEN UNDER GREAT STRESS SINCE LAST DECEMBER BEING LINKED TO SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS’ GANGSTER-STYLE LIFESTYLE-FREAK OFF PARTIES; BEING ACCUSED OF BEING A “POWER-BOTTOM” HOMOSEXUAL AND BEING SUED BY YOUNG MEN ACCUSING HIM OF HOMOSEXUAL ASSAULT, TROUBLING FAMILY REVELATIONS REGARDING HIS DAUGHTERS AND HIS SONS, HIS REPUTATION BEING DESTROYED ON YOUTUBE AND OTHER PLACES, AND NOT TO MENTION THE PRESSURES OF PASTORING A CHURCH. WHYTE HAS REPEATEDLY CALLED FOR HIS RESIGNATION AND SAYS IF THERE EVER WAS A TIME TO DO SO, THAT TIME IS NOW. HOWEVER, WHYTE STILL WARNS TD JAKES NOT TO MAKE HIS DIVORCED AND REMARRIED DAUGHTER AND OR HIS SON-IN-LAW THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH, OR HE WILL INVITE FURTHER DESTRUCTION UPON THE POTTER’S HOUSE AND THEIR LIVES. WHYTE TELLS JAKES, DON’T BE FOOLISH AND TEMPT GOD. YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES. THERE HAS GOT TO BE ONE FAITHFUL MAN IN THAT CHURCH WHO HAS A GREAT REPUTATION WITHIN AND WITHOUT AND WHO HAS BEEN MARRIED TO ONE WIFE WITHOUT ANY DIVORCES WHO IS CALLED BY GOD. “LAY HANDS ON HIM,” “THEN LOOSE HIM AND LET HIM GO.” YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH A HUMBLE, CLEAN VESSEL “FIT FOR THE MASTER’S USE.”
TO TD JAKES’ PUBLICITY TEAM: GET PREPARED FOR PEOPLE ACCUSING YOU OF FAKING WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CHURCH ON SUNDAY AS A RUSE TO GET PEOPLE’S MINDS DISTRACTED OFF OF WHAT YOU KNEW WAS COMING ON MONDAY, AND THAT IS BISHOP TD JAKES, “THE BLACK POPE,” FILING A MAJOR DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST A FELLOW PASTOR WHO IS ACCUSING HIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND IS REQUESTING $6 MILLION. ALSO, AS TD JAKES’ PUBLICITY TEAM, DO NOT ALL OF A SUDDEN START CALLING TD JAKES A “MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER” UNLESS HE HAS CHOSEN TO RESIGN FROM THE MINISTRY. UNTIL THEN, HE IS STILL BISHOP TD JAKES, A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD.
WHYTE SAYS IN CLOSING, HE KNOWS THAT MANY PEOPLE DO NOT RESPECT AND APPRECIATE THE WORD OF GOD, THE HOLY BIBLE, AS THEY USED TO, BUT AS A PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL AND THE WORD OF GOD HIMSELF, HE REMINDS THESE TWO PREACHERS OF WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING:
1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
Jakes, 67, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Duane Youngblood, a fellow pastor who claimed Jakes tried to sexually assault him when he was 18 or 19 years old, The Post has learned.
Youngblood made the explosive claims against the popular motivational speaker on an Oct. 27 episode of the “Larry Reid Live” podcast, alleging Jakes tried to groom him and also hugged and “tried to kiss” him.
The younger pastor and his attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represented Lil Rod in his lawsuit against Diddy — then demanded $6 million from Jakes “in order to resolve this matter quickly and privately” in a Nov. 15 legal filing.
Youngblood said if Jakes didn’t cough up the cash, he’d sue him for sexual assault and harassment.
