R&B/Soul Gospel Singer Juanita Bynum was reportedly beaten by her husband Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III in a parking lot.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bishop Weeks drew cheers and applause as he was introduced during service Sunday at Global Destiny Ministries, the Atlanta church he founded. Addressing the congregation just two days after turning himself in to authorities on the charges, Weeks said the devil was behind his current situation. He also expressed appreciation for the prayers and support he and his wife have received.
"We've got certain things going on right now, but I refuse to stop coming to the house God built," he said during his brief appearance before introducing a guest minister and leaving the room.
According to Atlanta Police, Weeks choked Bynum, pushed her to the ground and started to kick and stomp on her during an argument on Aug. 21 outside a hotel. A hotel employee stepped in and pulled Weeks off her, police said.
Currently free on bond, Weeks was charged with aggravated assault and terroristic threats following the confrontation, which police say left his estranged wife badly bruised. He is due in Fulton County Superior Court on Sept. 7.
Members of Week’s congregation at Global Destiny Ministries have decided to wait for all the facts before passing judgment or taking sides in the matter.
"There are three sides to every story," said frequent visitor Shannon Mayers, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Nobody has the right to judge anybody. God is in the midst of that and will work it out."

I think that the devil is really trying to break up marriages but Bishop Weeks should have exercised more self control. I mean this is the wife you vowed to love and cherish. I am not judging but i have a right to say what is right from wrong. I thank God that Prophetess Bynum survived and is recovering.
In these last and evil days....PLEASE DO NOT BE DECEIVED!!! FOR JESUS TOLD US OVER 2000 YEARS AGO THAT THERE WILL BE MANY FALSE PROPHETS AND SOME WILL BE SO BOLD TO SAY, 'I AM THE CHRIST.' MANY WILL FALL BY THE WAYSIDE, BECAUSE OF THEIR WEAKNESS AN UNBELIEF. THEY LOOK FOR SOOTHSAYERS AND FABLES TO FORETELL THEIR PRESENT AND FUTURE CIRCUMSTANCE. DO NOT BE DECEIVED....GOD IS NOT MOCKED, WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH, THAT SHALL HE ALSO REAP. It's reaping time!!! The question is, What have you Sown? Not what has Juanita Bynum sown...But, "You" Take your eyes off her and put your mind on Jesus. ...and I'm not talking about money but strive to SOW the 2 greatest commandments,,, to Love your neighbor as yourself and to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and STRENGTH. What can this "Governor" say? Let God be true and EVERY MAN A LIAR! Pray for the Peace of God! AMEN! Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time
