BISHOP KENNETH ULMER COVERS UP SEX SCANDAL AT FAITHFUL CENTRAL??

Dion Evans of RMGRADIO.ORG via Lipstick Alley is reporting that In the book entitled, LIFE AFTER THE DOWN LOW, Ingrid Michelle, the pen name of Ingrid Ellis, reveals a detailed account of sexual scandal that occurred at a very prominent church she attended with her then husband and Youth Pastor, Troyvoi (aka: “Bobby”) Hicks. Hicks, after watching a television program one evening with his wife sighed deeply and nervously confessed that he had exchanged “oral sex” with another man.* The “other man” he exchanged “oral sex” with was EJ Hunter (aka: “Elliot”) who was in his youth group and whom Hicks had mentored.

"...For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known". - Mat. 10:26

EJ was considered to have had a “dancer’s body” which enticed a number of younger girls and adult women.* He himself had been molested as a child and it was rumored had also been “emasculated by his mother.”
Troyvoi Hicks, a notable and accomplished educator was also the Youth Pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA under the senior leadership of Bishop Kenneth Ulmer (aka: “Pastor Dwight Carter); world-wide and world-respected leader. *After the scandal of sexual impropriety with minors surfaced, Bishop Ulmer did what many high profile pastors do when scandal breaks out in their congregations, he covered it up.
It was all written in a book where the names where changed to protect the guilty, but the guilty need to be exposed because children’s lives were damaged and they will NEVER be the same again.
According to Dion; The contents of the book LIFE AFTER THE DOWN LOW reveals the sexual scandal which occurred at this well-known church while maintaining the anonymity of its key perpetrators. However, after investigating the story further, many of the witnesses to the events have found it necessary to reveal the party’s true identities.
For Ingrid, it all started when she met Troyvoi during her college years. She’d become a part of the sorority, Sigma Gamma Rho, at Long Beach State University.* After falling in love with Troyvoi he’d revealed he’d participated in gay sex, but assured her that by the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit he had changed. However, deeper issues would manifest revealing to Ingrid the depths of his depravity and lack of deliverance.

Ingrid reveals in her book, on one occasion, she walked into the bedroom after her husband had bathed their one year old adopted child. *Ingrid’s account of what she witnessed was so horrifying that she sought to block it from her memory and discount it as truth all together. She recounts she encountered her husband “blowing on her one year old son’s penis.”* Haunted by images in her mind, she confided in her friend – Sherri Mitchell (aka: Audrey).


Sherri and her husband, Mykel (aka: Mekhi), had been long time friends with the Hicks Family, but tension between Troyvoi and Mykel eventually led to strain on their friendship and communication finally ceased. Their dwindling friendship would confuse close friends and family members.
News of sexual indiscretions between male members of Faithful Central –molestation cases *between male leadership and youth group boys – had begun to surface at the office of Bishop Ulmer.* After summonsing a meeting of leaders, Bishop Ulmer discovered that his right hand minister and “Head of the Men’s Discipleship”, Pastor Charles Brooks (aka: “Pastor Corey Bennett”), had been caught in a compromising sexual situation with another male member in the Church.
In the book, Ingrid reveals Pastor Charles Brooks – now the Founding and Senior Pastor of A BETTER LIFE FELLOWSHIP in Baltimore, Maryland – was caught “laid on the couch snuggling like a man and woman with the lights dim” with another married man in the church; Greg King (aka: “Grant“).* Witness to the act was Greg’s then wife, Felicia (aka: “Fawn“).
Felicia Lukas has since divorced and is now remarried. *Wife of Pastor Charles Brooks, Renee, has remained married to Pastor Brooks.

As allegations and confirming rumors began to thicken, Bishop Ulmer called a Monday morning meeting at the Faithful Central Bible Church.* The meeting’s agenda was not to address the acts revealed regarding Pastor Brooks and Greg King – but rather to discuss the allegations of inappropriate sexual activity between 

Pastor Brooks and another man under his leadership – Kevin Giles (aka: “Kyle“).
It had been exposed that Kevin Giles, along with a few other men of Faithful Central, were having “sexual relationships” with Pastor Charles Brooks –Kevin Giles was reported to have been in a 4 month relationship with Brooks.
Brooks, who had originally denied the allegations, was in the meeting revealed to have also had a sexual relationship with Troyvoi Hicks.* It should be noted that Kevin Giles and Troyvoi Hicks also exchanged sex.

Kevin, while in relationship with Troyvoi Hicks (married to Ingrid) and Pastor Charles Brooks (married to Renee) was himself married to a woman by the name of Angela Giles (aka: “Nicole“). Angela has since divorced Kevin, but still bears his last name.* When these salacious events took place, all were members at Faithful Central Bible Church.
It would later be revealed that Pastor Brooks had knowledge of the allegations against Troyvoi Hicks by the parents of one of Hicks’ fellow youth ministry group members – Ashley Rowen (aka: “Andrew Dawson“).
Ashley Rowen alleged he’d been “sexually molested” by Trayvoi Hicks to his parents – Ivan and Ronda Noel – and they wanted to determine if such was true.* In the end, the Noel’s received a cash settlement, rumored to be between $200,000 and $300,000 dollars paid out by Faithful Central Bible Church under the leadership of Bishop Kenneth Ulmer.

No adult has been has been held accountable for these actions.

STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS!
JESUS I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE I CAN TAKE OF THIS MESS GOING ON IN GOD'S HOUSE!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: Bishop Eddie Long Steps Down As Pastor Of “New Birth Church”
In stunning and breaking news, Bishop Eddie Long has officially announced he will be stepping down from the pulpit of New Birth in Lithonia, GA. In church today Bishop Long announced he will be taking a leave of absense to “take time to heal with family”. 
This comes days after his wife revealed she has filed for divorce and after the 2010 allegations of the pastor having sexually relations with young men in his church. 
Ever since Long was accused in 2010 of sexual relations with four young men in his care, the black church has been forced to ask itself tough questions. Some argue that a sin is a sin, whether it is telling a fib or sleeping with underage kids of the same sex. There are others who believe that Long should speak up and tell the truth about what happened. Thus far, there is nothing but silence as he has continued to deny the allegations although he paid the accusers a large sum of money to sweep the matters under the rug.
Bishop Eddie Long helped make New Birth Missionary Baptist Church into one of the nation’s biggest and most influential church in the Atlanta area but through turmoil and controversy the church has been turned upside down and Bishop Long recently announced to his congregation that he would step down to take time to heal with his family. Long’s wife filed divorce on Thursday, changed her mind on Friday to then change her mind again on Saturday to go through with the divorce which may have played a huge part in Bishop Long’s leave. Reports have surfaced that his wife has already moved out of their multi-millionaire dollar home and taken her children with her.
While he announced his stepping down in church today his wife Vanessa and two children were there by his side as he had this to say about his leave, “I’m still your pastor. You’ll still receive my direction. You’ve given me some weeks to take care of some family business.”

What do you think about Bishop Long stepping down from the pew?….stay tuned for more details to come on this developing story.

Tonex ditches Gospel & Goes Pop also is an Activist for the LGBT Comm?

And the Black church will EXPLODE! in 5..4..3..2..1! Tonex Divorces Gospel and Goes Gay Pop Activist?
Seen Tonex lately? You’ll have more luck finding him as B Slade, waving a rainbow striped flag at a Gay Pride parade than testifying in church circles. 
Crossing over in more ways than one, the entertainer has dead bolted his life as a minister and re-emerged as a recording activist with “Diesel,” his first pop/soul release (which he says is inspired by the “hoodspah” that enabled strong Black men to do what they like).
Tonex was to Gospel music, what Lady Gaga is to pop — an ingeniously talented, flamboyant provocateur. In 2009 he confirmed suspicions about his sexually ambiguous image, coming out on a nationally aired TV show. In so doing perhaps he became the first well-known openly gay gospel artist and like Gaga believes homosexuals are “born this way.”
ESSENCE.com talks to the artist about his more-than-unconventional stance on sexuality and how this newly  embraced freedom has influenced his new persona:
ESSENCE.com: Is your gospel career a thing of the past?
B SLADE: When it comes to the genre, yes. Unfortunately I was pigeonholed into that genre even though I felt that gospel music could very much so cross over to mainstream. Formidably and exclusively, yeah that part is over. There will always be a spiritual core to what I do and you will still feel that light and that love in my pop and soul music.
ESSENCE.com: What about your fans?
B SLADE: Some crossed over with me. I think because they connect with the truth and even if they don’t understand everything. That’s one thing they can always bank on with me is I’m going to present truth and courage and objectivity.
ESSENCE.com: How is B Slade different from Tonex?
B SLADE: B Slade is a recording activist. Tonex was more of just a recording artist. I think that the people’s interests were at both brands heart, but the represent the culmination of raw art, audacity and hard work. This brand represents the essence of the Black Sheep, the person who pretty much has all the odds against him, that phoenix rising aura about them.
ESSENCE.com: Since you’ve become openly gay, have you experienced more or less freedom?
B SLADE: I will say more. I think the interesting notion is that people kind of knew. It’s just as long as it wasn’t confirmed I was deemed okay. It’s just when you bring confirmation to some things, then it becomes controversial. It’s interesting to see people coming up to me and apologizing for the way the handles the whole coming out process, how they turned their backs or initially reacted.
ESSENCE.com: You’ve been married before as a straight man, would you marry again as a gay man?B SLADE: I wouldn’t say it’s not an option. I think that love is for everyone

“Diesel,” by B Slade, the artist formerly known as Tonex is in stores now. I will say this at least he has come to terms with who he is. Now I know as far as the church is concerned everything not godly is a demon. But hey I feel like this to thine ownself be true!...


What are your thoughts? Speak on it!
