JUANITA BYNUM IS ATTACKED BY HUSBAND BISHOP THOMAS W.WEEKS III
World renowned televangelist and author juanita Bynum who preaches at a Queens church was assaulted in an Atlanta hotel parking lot by her estranged husband Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III during a meeting to reconcile, police said.
Atlanta police said Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III struck Juanita Bynum, who has homes in Hempstead and Waycross, Ga., at about 5 a.m. Wednesday, beating her badly enough to require medical treatment, said Atlanta Police Officer Robert Campbell.
“They were talking about a reconciliation. They got into an argument. In the process of the argument, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III walked out to the parking lot area, turned back around and started to choke Juanita Bynum,” Robert Campbell said.
“As he choked her, he pushed her down to the ground and started to kick her and also stomp on her,” he said.
Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III left the parking lot. Juanita Bynum, who was bruised around her neck and upper torso, met with authorities yesterday at an undisclosed location to press the charges, Campbell said.
Amy Malone, a publicist for Juanita Bynum, said, “She was not in a fight with her husband; she was attacked by her husband.”
Campbell said police have obtained warrants against Bishop Thomas W. Weeks on aggravated assault and terrorist threat charges, both felonies.
Bishop Thomas W. Weeks, also a minister, founded Global Destiny churches.
“I am currently recovering from my injuries and resting well. There are so many great things happening for me in my future, and so much to look forward to concerning my destiny, this too shall pass,” Juanita Bynum wrote on her MySpace.com page.
Juanita Bynum, who often refers to herself as a “prophetess,” preaches at New Greater Bethel Ministries in Queens Village.

Dear Iona Ellison,
Mental abuse is worst than physical. What are you doing about removing yourself from this abuse? Prayer along is not going to help you; you have to take action.
