Singer J. Moss must pay child support
gospel | Oct 19, 2008 | Comments 80
Judge enters default order against West Bloomfield gospel artist J. Moss in Ga. woman’s paternity lawsuit. An Oakland Circuit Court judge has signed a default judgment in a paternity case against gospel recording artist J. Moss, ordering him to pay child support to a Georgia woman.
J. Moss, whose real name is James L. Moss Sr. and lives in West Bloomfield Township, was named in a paternity lawsuit filed in June by Lakisha Hughes, 28, of Douglasville, Ga., concerning her son, Christion, born March 15. A court-ordered DNA test subsequently determined the 36-year-old Moss is the boy’s father with “99.9 percent” accuracy, according to the court file. “I really don’t wish to discuss this — it’s a difficult situation involving children, two families and also careers,” said Lakisha Hughes on Thursday.
J Moss could not be reached for comment at his home or recording studio, PAJAM Music in Oak Park. When J Moss failed to respond to court filings, Oakland Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews signed a judgment Monday prepared by the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office requiring J Moss to pay $1,028 a month support until the boy turns 18 years old. Court documents reveal Lakisha Hughes is unemployed, has a teenage daughter and is divorced. J Moss is listed as married and has two other children with his wife. Court filings indicate J Moss admitted to Lakisha Hughes as being the father of her son and even sent her text messages regarding her pregnancy and the child — and “I still have them,” she noted in one filing.
Lakisha Hughes and J Moss never lived together, she told the court. Hughes also said Moss offered to pay abortion expenses but never provided any of the medical care. He never visited the child, but had given her “a total of $450 for Christion,” she wrote.
J Moss records and produces recordings under PAJAM Music. Lakisha Hughes estimated in the court filing his gross monthly earnings at $50,000. J Moss is the son of gospel star Bill Moss Sr. and grew up on tours with his father’s group, Bill Moss and the Celestials, and a cousin’s group, The Clark Sisters. J Moss, who grew up in Detroit and attended Michigan State University for two years, is a tenor who plays keyboards and both writes and produces music with his production group PAJAM. J Moss has recorded several albums, including “The J. Moss Project” and was a co-writer and/or producer for others including Karen Clark-Sheard, Hezekiah Walker, N’SYNC, Michelle Williams, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Dru Hill and Boyz II Men. He has been nominated for a Grammy several times.

Hmmm.. Now let’s see. If i’m a big star in ANY arena and i’m having an affair with an unemployed female who already has a child and nothing else to offer, I would probaby offer to pay abortion fees too… But obviously, she trying to cash the cow. Who but senseless women, want to have a baby with a married family man… This behavior of becoming a “BABY MOMMA” is becoming too trendy.. even for the church girls.. SO LAME!
He is out of control as well. He is a worldwide gospel singer
cashing the “cow” of the Christians paychecks by his songs.
I saw him perform t.v. and knew he was not singing in the
anointing of God but trying to be just like so many others, a
gopsel jr. pimp or whatever.
She will have to answer for her sins and so will HE!
He had better go listen to his “WE MUST PRAISE”
Thank God for repentance, mercy and grace!
Shalom
He needs to sing we must pay, my bad pray…..
Jesus take the Wheel!!!
Did he not make a song about this……? Is there any man in the church or not who can keep his zipper zipped? I feel sorry for his wife and kids and the new baby..no empathy for the silly women who slept with him. I’m sure she knew what she was doing………. We’ll he needs to sit down, and his brother is not much better! Stop perping, the songs you sing are not worthy to be heard…..there is obviously no God in them.
Before any of us judge, remember ”We all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”. But to know you’re about to take your married behind to bed with someone who isn’t your spouse….LORD HAVE MERCY. HOWEVE, this isn’t the first time that J. Moss has cheated on his wife, nor the first time he’s offered to pay for an abortion. His wife who’s been with him while he was broke and fought through many other women before getting him to the altar didn’t deserve this. To cheat first of all was WRONG, but he didn’t think enough of his wife to even use protection. It’s really sad that BOTH Bill Jr. and J. Moss commited adultery on their wives. It’s not just J. Moss but Bill Jr. has done the same thing and his wife didn’t deserve this either. It’s just J. Moss name is a little larger than Bill Jr. I pray that the wives didn’t contract any disease and that they will accept these children that their unfaithful husbands produced and they remember that GOD IS FAITHFUL AND ABLE TO HEAL THEIR EMBARRASSMENT AND BROKEN HEARTS. I want J. Moss to go SIT DOWN AND DON’T BE LATE ON HIS CHILD SUPPORT AND FOR BILL JR. TO DO THE SAME. And remember that; “WE MUST PRAY”. It’s sad that the song he produced about cheating on his wife was THE TRUTH. To look at the photo of J. Moss and his wife with other Gospel Singer Celebrity Couples, J. Moss happens to be the most popular singer, now MORE WAYS THAN ONE!!! JUST GO SIT DOWN MOSS BROTHERS!!!
I agree with both Nette and Sarag. Both brothers have a LONG history of adultery; finally the truth is coming out. I’m surprised that nobody has done a public article about Bill jr., Even though he is the lesser known of the two, he needs to be held accountable for his immoral activities as well, especially concerning some recent issues that are public knowledge. I don’t think that either brother has repented openly, but yet people are still booking them for ministry dates and they are still out promoting their cd’s. What about accountability to the Body of Christ? And what about their children?
Does anybody know if the other brother has illegitmate children too? That’s very sad if he does. And then what about J.Moss new son, i wonder will the family accept him. I hope their family doesn’t turn their backs on the child, it’s not his fault. And I’m sure the family has to know about J Moss and his brother’s behavior, they probably excuse it.
Okay, not to “gossip” but like Free said, these brothers have a Long History of Adultery and Bill, Jr., was let go as minister of music making $1600 a week to take care of HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, but was that good enough? No, he had to COMMIT ADULTERY WHICH LED TO AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD. Again, because J. Moss has the largest name you don’t hear about Bill Jr’s. illegitimate child. I mean both of their wives must be sooo hurt and humiliated to think that their SAVED HUSBANDS WOULD BOTH DO THIS? Were the illegitate children included in the count of the grandchildren in their Father’s Obituary in June 2008? I mean, WE ALL HAVE SINNED, BUT WILL IT TAKE ONE OR BOTH OF THE WIVES TO FILE FOR DIVORCE, GET ALIMONY AND CHILD SUPPORT AND THEN THE MOSS BROTHERS WILL FIND THEMSELVES WEARING THEIR TOO LITTLE SHIRTS AND PANTS, STAYING WITH THEIR MOTHER OR IN AN EFFICIENCY? I’m sure the wives will stay because of their comfortable living situation, but WOW, to lay next to my HUSBAND knowing not only did he sin against me, but left a seed in another woman…..Okay, I have to stop typing before I call my now cheating ex-husband and say something ungodly!!! Thank God he didn’t give me a disease or a child. I’m so disappointed that J. Moss would suggest an ABORTION, he’s been known to say that on a few occasions because of his CAREER and I’m sure now it was about his CAREER AND PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE TO HIS WIFE that he’s been very unfaithful on the road while MINISTERING or should I say WHORING. Let’s just pray for the Moss Brothers and really, sincerely for THEIR WIVES!!!! UNGODLY AND JUST NASTY!!!!! No doubt they’d been in bed with these women more than once….Okay, I did say I was going to stop typing didn’t I? Pray for me ya’ll!!!
I try not to get involved with gossip either, however, gossip isn’t gossip when it’s the truth, so Nette, you are not gossiping! It’s unbelievable that there is an illegitimate child involved. Was this from the affair at the church? And how old is the child? And for the record, J.Moss is not the only one offering abortion as an option to these women, Bill is known for that as well. Is J’s wife still with him? I heard that Bill’s ex left because of the infidelities and because he also has a violent side…anyway, that’s why we as Christians are to judge people by the fruit that they bear, and not by their famous last names. It’s ridiculous that they have been out there ‘entertaining’ in the name of God, but their lifestyles are so messy it’s sickening.
Ok Free…I hear you. Now, you asked; “Was this from the affair at the church?” Okay, there’s been quite a few at different churches, but I was told from a BISHOP that Bill Jr., was let go as minister of music because the affair and child were from a woman AT THAT PARTICULAR CHURCH AND HE WAS MARRIED!!! Now I didn’t know Bill’s ex had finally left but I doubt if J’s will Melanie has loved him when he wore too little shirts and his pants flooded and he drove his mother’s car. I seriously doubt she’ll leave and I seriously doubt if J will stop being a whore
I do know from “personal experience” Bill Jr., was snappy and had a smart mouth so I’m sure he was violent. But why? He had a wife and women on the side, getting paid $1600 a week and singing praises…..Oh, HE GOT CAUGHT AND FIRED. Now, I know J. has royalties, produces, etc., but $50,000 a month and she only gets $1,028….ummmm doesn’t sound right. Maybe $5,000.00 a month??? Just wondering. I’m just still outdone that J received a Legacy Award and asked his wife to join him on stage. Wow, ya’ll let’s pray for her mind. What kind of mess is that? Okay, she put on a brave face to go to this crap and face people who where no doubt staring and looking at her every move, but he asked his lovely wife to come on stage? Lawd da mercy, had I been there……LOL….We must Praise….because the Moss Brothers are worse than the mayor of Detroit and he’s in jail until Feb. 2009……..I wished the Moss Brothers could be in there too. The mayor didn’t create illegitimate children!!!
Nette,
Thanks for the extra info. I’m not sure what will happen with J’s situation, he has such a beautiful family… sometimes people stay together for the sake of the kids, and that’s it, especially in families like theirs, where image is everything. Overall I think that both brothers will put on an act until they find someone else who will be more secretive. I was curious about the possible age of the illegitimate child of Bill jr., because it would start a riot with some people that I know, if the math didn’t add up… Anyway, let’s pray that God continues to purge and refine them, and let’s keep ourselves lifted, because all have sinned and fallen short.
Okay, this will be my last post on this site and concerning this situation. It’s unfortunate that both Mrs. Moss’s weren’t enough to stop their husbands from bring utter shame, disgrace and illegitamate children. I’m not sure of the age of Bill Jr., child but it was fairly recent and I pray that a riot wouldn’t start. This is a riot in itself. I finally broke down and listened to J. Moss song, “Let it Go”…I’m speechless….What, Why, How? Where was Jesus in that song? Again, we all have sinned and I’m sure both brothers are ticked that they’ve been exposed, but just as J. Moss cheated on Mrs. M. Moss back in the day while they were dating, engaged, now married…let’s just pray for her as well as the other Mrs. Moss who I think is an Ex. I doubt if J’s wife will leave because he’s been her world before he even had his own car and still lived with his parents. She was determined to become Mrs. Moss, but what a price she’s paying. Again, I’m done with this subject and site, let’s keep the Moss Brothers, Bishop Liston Page, Pastor Jamal Bryant and ALL OTHER MEN OF GOD WHO JUST HAVE TO GO TO BED WITH OTHER WOMEN. I PRAY FOR HEALING AND DELIVERANCE AND PROTECTION FROM ANY UNGODLY DISEASE TO THEIR WIVES. PROTECT AND SHIELD THE CHILDREN INVOLVED INCLUDING THE ILLEGITIMATE ONES. IT’S GOD’S WILL THAT THEY DEVELOP OR THE WOMEN WOULDN’T GET PREGNANT AND CARRY THEM TO TERM…..BE BLESSED!!!
We all have sin and fall short of his glory. But because of J Moss I’m save today, the song for give me o lord its me again touch my heart.
This is just a hot mess. i remember when he came to Little Rock, AR and performed at a major University. He was on stage talking how you gone give praise when you are messing Johnny on Saturday. And the entire time, he was being a hyporcrite then and he is one now. When he telling us WE MUST PRAISE, he should have included himself.
Make no mistake I am not condoning the actions of this man but what makes him so different than any other Christian person. We are Christians because we believe in Jesus Christ. Christ didn’t call us to judge one another but when one of our brothers or sisters falls short of God’s (not mine or your) glory we are to pray for them that they can find the strength to go forward and sin no more. This situation is between that man, his wife, the child’s mother, the children and GOD – not anybody in cyberland! The reason people have a problem coming to the church is because we as church people treat each other so bad – but how would you feel if someone was on the Internet blogging about what you were doing last Saturday night or the happenings of your family. Have compassion Christians and stay in prayer for everyone involved – Christ can use anyone to give him praise and no one is perfect so don’t expect them to be. Remember that Christ can save and fix any situation including whatever this situation may be. {I’m getting off my soapbox now

Nette I agree with Free. Its not gossiping when Ur telling the gospel truth, and that U r. What really irks me is how theses
male preachers, gospelsingers etc, seems 2 B able 2 get away with such bwhavior, and when its a woman they want 2 hang her out 2 dry!!! As a gospel singer myself, I traveled and sang with a lot of these gospelsingers and I will say that the Moss Brothers cousins the Clark Sisters R NOTHING LIKE THEM MORALLY WISE!!!(I KNOW SOMEBODY WILL SAY WHAT ABOUT dENISE cLARK) WHICH PROVES MY POINT EXACTLY
she was put out the group for having babies out of wedlock!!Its a double standard when it somes 2 a woman Seeing things go on un godly backstage at a lot of these programs as a artist myself, its a pity and a shame. Some of the preachers mention on this blog R still committing adultery and thier ministry is in full swing with enagements????????? I don’t understand it. Yes we should pray!!
But the church should take a stand against this foolishness!!! I feel 4 their wives!!!! then pity them at the same time. 2 put up with such behavior b/c u use 2 a certain lifestyle. No way!!!! No wonder the world is laughing at the church. I pray no resentment is taken out on the out of wedlock kids. They had nothing 2 do with how they got here. I got the moss brothers album back when they were 2 little boys with cowbiys hats on look like they were about 10 and 12 years old. Who would of ever thought they would grow up 2 B what they R 2day!!! hyprocrities!! Sorry thats the way I c them. They need much Prayer. I’m sure the Clark Sisters must be ashamed of their cousins!!!!!!! A HOT MESS IS RIGHT!!!
First, of all he that is without sin let him cast the first stone. I am stunned that this Nette individual would be bashing these men of God. That’s exactly what I said. It seems you love too expose people. Be careful how you expose people. What therefore a man sows he shall also, reap. So, get prepared too be exposed. Because you are next in line. Its amazing how you could read the comment of the other writer, that’s written under your comment and you don’t comprehend what was said. People like you keep people from coming to God. You are going to give account for the people that you hinder; let God do the judging. If you read your bible it clearly states that there is no excuse for you to judge another man servant. That job belongs to God. We are all human. I could judge you and say,”you love to gossip”. If you read Proverbs the six chapter you will find yourself in there. And Im shower if we looked in your closet there are somethings in there you don’t want anyone to know. Also, I can say that you are prideful, because you will have to give a comment back concerning what Im saying eventhough, you said you were finished commenting. I could say that you are a novice, because no one in their right mind would be putting people out there like that when they know they could get sued for slander. And too any one else that that has something negative too say, you aren’t perfected so don’t judge. Just because a person is proclaiming to be a christian doesn’t mean they will never make a mistake or fall. There are people all through the Bible that fell short of his glory. Look at David he had sex with the mans wife; and then put him on the front line of battle and the man got killed. Look at cursing Peter and he also, denied Jesus three times. Did Jesus deny him? NO. When he was resurrected he sent message for Peter to come too. So, don’t be nasty. Love covers many faults. I will never forget how Pastor Jimmy Swaggart said that Pastor Jim Bakker is a cancer too the body of Christ. What happened to Pastor Swaggart? He was exposed. His ministry has not been the same since.
U SHALL KNOW A TREE BY THE FRUIT IT BEARS!!! BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK 2 GETHER. WHEN U ARE A GOSPEL OR SECULAR ARTIST 4 THAT MATTER U PUT UR SELF OUT THEIR FOR THE PUBLIC 2 C U ,THATS PART OF THE JOB!!! AND I AM TIRED OF GODS ARMY. BEING WEAK , DOUBLEMINDED AND NOT LIVING THE LIFE THEY SING ABOUT!!!!! IF U ANI’T GOING 2 LIVE TRULY SAVED, THEN GET OUT THE CHURCH,AND STOPP PLAYING WITH GOD ,B/C U BECOMING WHAT IS KNOWN AS A STUMBBLING BLOCK AND U WILL HAVE 2 ANSWER 2 GOD 4 ALL THE SOULS U MISLED!!! AND IN THE LAST DAYS (U KNOW THE REST)!!!!!!
When we go before God, he is going to judge us for us and nobody else. The word say’s when a man thinketh he stands take heed unless he falls. So, it doesn’t make a difference who you are if you aren’t prayerful and watchful you could fall. Im very careful how I speak about people. The word says that we should restore our brothers in a spirit of meekness considering ourselves unless we will also, be tempted. In other words like I said yesterday it isn’t up to us to judge. All of our lives are on display. You will never know the people thats looking at you. Just because you are a singer doesn’t mean that you are going out there trying to sin. Gods army isn’t weak. What about the millions of Christians out there? You hear about a few isolated cases and you think that the army is weak. I would think not. As far as a stumbling block anything can become a stumbling block; you could be offending someone by the food you eat , the clothes you wear, the music you listen too the way that you talk too a person etc. Sin is sin. We always look at what we call big sins and little sins. A christian could be mean and rude to people causing them not to want anything to do with the church or church folks. So,its not just the things we consider as major that is sin. Its time for the saints to grow up. It is the ones that are weak that hear of a person falling and flip on the person; and tear them down. Many weak christians will bury their wounded. Instead of judging it’s time for us to pray. Also, we need to learn how to forgive. Boy, I’m telling you some christians are so unforgiving. The word says that we should forgive our brother 70×7 times a day. That is 490 times a day. I know people reading this will say “she’s always saying the Word says”. That exactly right. Thats what we are suppose to go by.
I think that it is very unforunate that this has happened J is out here singing all these gospel songs about god and praise but, living an unclean life. his adultery is between him his wife and god. but to be out here calling his self a minister of music. is all together different young christian and old alike are looking up to him saying oh what beautiful songs and music he make. not knowing the spirit behind the music, that is why you have to be careful what and who you listen to. a couple of time I’ve listened and thought to myself that song sounds kind of wordly. as if he were trying to turn someone on. it just did’nt sound like pure gospel, it’s just sad that even as christian women we cant trust our so called men of god. all up in the church lying. just in case you guys dont know GOD IS REAL. and just because you sing pretty or you can sang does not mean that you have a free pass to do whatever you want to do stupid. I dont know what kind of a hold J has on his wife but what i do know is that she had better wake up and smell the praise. I dont know J or Bill personaly but i know that AIDS is real and LOVE is not worth your life Melanie. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, AND LETS CONTINUE TO PRAY, MAY 2009 BE A BETTER YEAR MAY WE ALL BE DELIVERED SO THAT WE CAN BE BETTER WOMEN AND MEN OF GOD, BECAUSE WE ARE FALLING BEYOND SHORT OF THE GLORY, AND JESUS IS COMING SO LETS REPENT AND DO BETTER. GOD IS TAKING THE COVER OFF SO MAKE SURE YOUR NOT NAKED IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
I would like to respond to what Mitch said yes GOD does say to forgive, But that dosent mean keep doing the same thing over and over, I dont know J but I’ve heard people referring to him as being a whore. GOD want us to forgive. he dont want us to be stupid and let people walk all over us. apparently he has no respect for his self if he’s out ther sleeping around 1 he’s a christain,2 he’s married, TO HIS WIFE.3WITH OUT A CONDOM. that mean he also has no respect for GOD or his Beautiful wife as he call her every time he talk about her. I mean even teenagers no if you dont want a baby to at least try to prevent it from happening. This is just a message to all you dumb cheaters. JUST SAY NO!!! NOT all women are going to play by your rules, Some women know that it’s wrong to have an abortion. and know when the man is gone that child will still be there to love MAMA. I’m not letting the young lady off the hook. ladies keep your panties up and your dress down.Because when you lay down with a man, married or not if he’s not your husband you are a WHORE. I dont know if she knew who he was but, I know he does! J, STOP playing games and for all of your friends who are doing the same things. and just haven’t been caught yet,WHAT’S DONE IN THE DARK, YOU ALL KNOW THE REST. MEN STOP TAKING US FOR GRANTED!!!, We may as well be married to wordly men,why wait on GOD? if all you so called men of GOD are just going to act like them anyway.KEEP PRAYING
WILL THE REAL CHRISTIAN BROTHERS PLEASE STAND
qod ca11ed us to be saints and not christians. Therefore, ca11ed to be means it hasn’t happened comp1ete1y, but is continuous1y happeninq. I’m not condoninq this, but when the money is biq, other women beqins to 1ook qood. Money is made of paper(tree) and the women are the app1es or fruits of the eye(tree) and when one is bitten we a11 fa11 1ike samson. cut any fruit in ha1f and what do you see? The fema1e sexua1 orqan. RESPECT. As 1onq as we up1ift these individua1s and never demand that they step down, then this instance wi11 continue.
just like church folk to jump on her instead of him. they are both wrong, and for him to offer an abortion to clear it up????!!!!! man ill never buy a j. moss cd again. he’s the one thats lame. all he ever gave her was $450 dollars since the boy was born. Sounds like something a lame church going buster would do. See when you do evil, it always comes back to bite you hard. Im glad this happend cause now all yall can see not to put your trust in man but god. we all human and we all make mistakes but for him to be a coward with the situation……. He lame. the whole pajam camp is some bumbs!!!!! period, faget ass 21: o3! probably sleepin with them too!! lol
I think that we should let God be the judge. The problem is everybody wants to look at man like they are God. We should be followers of Christ. The word says,”It is better to put your trust in God than to put your trust in man”. I am in no way trying to support J in what he has done. I am saying this is between he, his wife, the young lady, and God. Desperate people do desperate things. King David tried to cover up his sins with Bathseba. her husband was out to war and David slept with her, got her pregnant and tried to cover it up by bringing her husband home to sleep with her. Well, he didn’t sleep with her because, the other men were at war. So, David ordered that the man be put in the front of the battle line. David knew this man wasn’t ready for this needly to say the man was killed on the front line. And GOD sent the Prophet Nathan too bring correction too David and to tell him the repercussion of his sins. We need to step back and let the Lord bring his correction. Because we could say all kinds of nasty things about this man; but with the same measure shall ye meet with all. In other words the same way you judge a person it will come back too you. And the fact that a person would start swearing, and name calling is just not nesseccary. Nobody is perfect. We are all striving for perfection. There are some people that we deem as perfect that has things in there closes that would blow your minds. The only difference is that God didn’t allow it to be exposed. Lets have love for towards our brothers and sisters. Believe me I get frustrated too when I see a person thats proclaim salvation doing crazy things. I try to get with that person to let them know what they did was wrong. And if I can’t get with that person I pray for them. I still understand that the word says,” Our righteousness is like filthy rags in the sight of God. But the good thing is knowing that we can come boldly before the throne of grace to repent.
It’s pointless to expect every person in the church to be faithful or sinless. Christians make unGodly mistakes. Note, we’re supposed to make a lot less mistakes than the flesh world, but all we can do is pray for those that make those mistakes.
However, I would like to commend the men who honor their vows and live a near perfect life for the glory of God. Those men need to be congratulated! We look up to your character and you make the world a better place. Hold your head up high and know that not only does God favor you, but your fans are proud to recognize ourselves as your dedicated fans.
By the way….representing H-town.
Much Love
One more time….
My heart goes out to his wife and children. I am a wife and that is my worst nightmare. I pray that God eases her pain and rekindles the love, trust and respect in their marriage. If she decides to stay, time and prayer will heal their marriage and her heart. God, please take special care of J. Moss’ wife. She is going through a hardening and difficult time right now and she needs extra love and support.
My God change J. Moss’ heart and actions. I really pray for this marriage.
God holds all of us accountable for our actions, but these men J, Bill Jr., Jamal Bryant, etc.) are on stage or in the pulpit representing the Lord. They are supposed to be his annointed vessels to bring forth praises, worship and the word. They are going to be held accountable for all the souls that may not come to God now because they see these hypocrites in the national spot light. You can say they are only human, and that is true, but when they accepted the mission to win souls for Christ, they became His spokesmen. Or maybe for them it was never about God at all. Maybe it was about the bling, prestige, and glory. However you slice it…its just sad! I pray for their restoration, and the healing of their families.
This message goes too Designer 23. Girl you are sharp. In all of the messages I sent, I had been asking people too pray. The prayer that you gave was awesome. Because, what they need now is prayer. Lives are invovled in this thing and if we don’t come together and pray; their spirits will be broken. You are a mature christian. The enemy is the accurer of the saints. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy. And our prayers will keep everyone involved from being destroyed. Thank you for being obedient to the leading of the spirit to pray. And in return father I pray for Designer 23’s marriage. I pray that you keep them strong and that they will rear they children in the admonition and fear of you God. I pray that the enemy will not be able too get into that marriage. And I bind that spirit that comes to bring fear in Designer 23 about being cheated on. And I loose a great marriage full of love, respect, and understanding in Jesus name Amen.
real christians need to stand up and speak up. God said in all things seek wisdom and have disernment . He also said my sheep will know my voice. We have been running behind wolfes in sheep clothing that is leading us to be slaughtered . Before this even happened all of his songs have a very sexual sound to them.Why? Because God said if you be luke warm then I will spit you out. How many of our big gospel artist have brought their spouses to all of their events? Your spouse is your covering. they see what you don’t and you see what they don’t. Onthe other hand if christians stop buying there kids$150 concert tickets to see lil wanye then we can support the real worshipers that bring the song of the Lord not something to fulfill our flesh .
Has anyone of heard of “Out with the OLD and In with the NEW”? This is my only comment to this or any other website. Mitch, are you J. Moss under cover? Yes, WE ALL have sinned, and there are skeletons in everyone ’s closets. It’s really sad that not just this website but lipstick alley has posted photos of the baby involved in this mess. Half of the folk say they aren’t in church, but they have taken a great interest in not just J. Moss and his brother but Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Jakes, Pastor Jamal Bryant, Bishop Liston Page, Pastor Marvin Winans, Evg. Juanita Bryant, Bishop Weeks and countless others and these threads are UNGODLY, BUT, SO ARE THE SINS. I know what’s done in the dark will come to the light, because I didn’t know J. Moss was dating his now Wife while we all were in school but he was cheating on her way back when. I just wished CHEATING, WHORISH MEN/WOMEN, WOULD STOP. Then there wouldn’t be some many wounded MEN, WOMEN and KIDS OUT OF WEDLOCK. We as Christians really shouldn’t even voice and opinion on any of these sites or subjects. The world joins in and there just adding fuel to the fire. Personally, I’m hurt by all the men/women that I simply mentioned, but I pray for them and respect the calling on their lives. They have to answer to GOD. My late Bishop is the biological father of a very well known gospel artist and I was hurt, but life went on and the son is grown and accepted that he wasn’t recognized because he was the “mistake”. No, the Bishops way back in the day was as whorish, but websites just didn’t put them out.
In closing let’s just PRAY that when the final curtain call on our lives come down, when we rise we’ll be in the presence of the Lord. Not J. Moss, Bill Moss, Jr. or any other man or woman who didn’t give up their life for OUR SINS.
Mitch or if you’re J. Moss, be blessed. You’re really involved in this too much and please let’s pray for all the nasty comments and whomever posted the photo of the baby on lipstick alley and all Christians, let’s just SHUT OUR MOUTHS, PRAY, AND READ THE WORD OF GOD (BIBLE) NOT THESE THREADS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL….I WON’T BE BACK TO READ ANY COMMENTS.
Excuse me get a life I am Mitch. As far as me being involved too much that is your opinion. We live in a free country. My comments come out of wanting people to keep a clear head. I don’t know Jay at all outside of his music. I am very sure that he wouldn’t be wasting his time trying to justify himself too anyone on this sight. I am Mitch. You are thinking too hard. When we think that way most of the times we are wrong. And you are. And when it boils don’t too the whole matter it is none of our business. So, your comment may not be as lengthy as mine are someone else, but you commented. I can immediately form and opinion about you as well just from what you wrote. But of course I won’t.
I have to agree with Jason about people being so quick to condemn the woman…It amazes me how we quickly come to the conclusion that the woman is all out for TOP dollar. With the economy being what it is, it is very difficult to raise children these days and if “married men” are so quick to spread their seed around knowing full well that their wives are sitting at home trusting and believing in their faithfulness, then, they should pay. For J. Moss to say that a child support case is “hurting his reputation,” he should check again because he hurt his own reputation by having this adulterous affair by having unprotective sex with her. When will we ever learn, I don’t know. I’m not saying that she is totally innocent because she was aware of his marital status but two wrongs will never equal out to a right and the person who truly gets left with the damage of the matter is Melanie since we can all be sure that she had no knowledge that her husband was doing this to her. Yes, it will take a lot of prayer and counseling to help heal the matter but J. Moss should definitely consider his actions especially when people are regarding him as their #1 favorite “gospel” singer. Such shame this type of drama brings on the church as well as the SAINTS!
Last but not least, I attended church for years with Bill, Jr., Tina and Melanie and Tina divorced Bill, Jr and moved on with her life and I have to agree with others who doubt that Melanie will do the same because I witnessed first hand how much she loved J. Moss (and I’m sure she still does) but as an earlier poster says…”AIDS is real and it is not worth her life.”
This is why I don’t subscirbe to church.He is who we r.We r not perfect but serching and GOD is ur answer not J.Moss
Mitch I have to respond to ur comment .U say u pray that satan does not come into that marrige,i think satin was always there.That’s the problem with so called christians no one is held accountable for anything.The bond has been broken and my prayers go out to his family and should be ashame for his acts not for being exposed.I just found ur comment more of the problem in the so called church “Put Him On Front Street ” he seems to like it there talkin about he is saved but still FLY wearing his LV glasses and iced out watch.GOD don’t shine in money and jewelery he shines through u
My fellow brothers and sisters. Can we give this and all the other threads about our Christian Bishops, Evangelists, Singers and Musicians that have been attacked by sin and they gave in to the flesh a rest? Whether a child was conceived and yes marriage bonds were broken, they have to answer to One GOD and he sits high and looks low. How many times have people walked away from unprotected sex without the conception of a child? The Lord gives life and the Lord takes life in death. She could have miscarried or gave in to J. Moss demand of an abortion, but the Lord wanted this child to be here. I’m not defending him one way or another. I’m only commenting because I know Melanie Moss personally and her life has been turned upside down and she needs to know that folk have stopped talking, judging and are minding THEIR BUSINESS and just offering prayer and forgiveness. The Bishops/Pastors have went on with their ministries and lives and some of those threads have closed out. The threads are horrible because it gives unsaved folk a chance to speak about God’s Vessel. With this thread, the baby will be one in March and enough is enough. That Lipstick Alley thread is even worse. Today, we should all be rejoicing and thanking God for President Barack Obama. Nothing said or done can erase J. Moss and his act of adultery. Just like all of us who have sinned and wished we could erase it we either suffer consequences and some of us have a child or children out of wedlock, but they’re here. This wasn’t J. Moss first act of adultery but PRAYERFULLY HIS LAST. Melanie knew of his past way before she married him, but she was determined to be Mrs. Moss at any cost and she had her suspicions of him on the road but she chose to stand by her man like so many other women in these situations. Let’s think, would any of us want a thread about our sin or wrong doing to last this long? I ask you to you really PLEASE, PLEASE LET THIS THREAD GO IF NOT FOR J. MOSS AT LEAST FOR MELANIE AND THE CHILDREN!!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
TO MITCH…..YOU REALLY DO NEED TO GET A LIFE, THIS SEEM TO HAVE CONSUMED YOUR LIFE. YOU DON’T KNOW ME AND I DON’T KNOW YOU, BUT FOR YOU TO SAY THAT YOU DON’T KNOW J. MOSS, YOU ARE DEFINATELY IN LOVE WITH HIS LIFE AND YOU ACT LIKE A GOSSIPING WOMAN OR CHANGE THE LETTER “M” IN FRONT OF MITCH WITH THE LETTER “B”……BE BLESSED AND SAVE YOUR ENERGY, I WON’T BE BACK TO THIS OR ANY OTHER SITE.
Look now……if yall really know J.Moss …u can see what i see!!! He did that in the past(listen to livin 4)! He’s a changed and he will stay the stay the same!! LUV U J MOSS!
Nette(the girl that commented)!!! GOD doesnt have to be in that song…well he does sing gospel but he’s jus tellin us TO BE A CHRISTIAN: We must let go all of our sins etc…Yall so called ppl need start listenin to j moss more often..!!
Wendy says she’ll never come back on this site. Well, it is normally a coward that will make a comment and run from a response. I am a christian so the word that she called me is fine; Im not going to give evil for evil. Thats between her and her God. The scripture says that with one side of you mouth you bless God and on the other you speak curses. I have a life. My life is in Christ, my family, and my church in which I Pastor. So, Wendy God bless you. It is amazing how people get angry over the word of God. When I have spoken it has been through the word of God. And the surprising thing is that if she read what she wrote and what I wrote we are talking on the same lines. I am not the only one that has written on more than I occassion.
WOW…..I don’t think everyone can see how the devil and his angels work. They are not going to go hard after people in the world cause they have them already, they are going to go hard after the people in the church because those are the people they don’t have. Yes we all have sinned and has fallen short of His glory and I think that’s why so any people outside of the church see people in the church as hypocrites. We as Christians make mistakes but that doesn’t mean that God can’t use us. Thank you Mitch for your comment on Jan. 5th at 3;15. Mitch summarize the story of David and Bathseba. Yes David was wrong as well as Bathseba just like J. Moss and this other young lady but look at how great David was. There are so many other people in the Bible that sinned and they REPENTED and TURNED from their wicked ways and God was yet able to used them. I don’t know J. Moss personally so I don’t know if he went to God and asked God for forgiveness. If he hasn’t then that’s between him and God and J. Moss will be held accountable for his actions. The Word does say “Anyone, then,who knows to do good and does it not, it is sin” (James 4:17).
Jason, to say or type that “That’s just like some church folks to jump on her instead of him”…..I don’t think everyone was just getting on the lady. I read more of people getting on J. Moss. I do agree that they both were wrong.
People just remember that We all have sinned and fallen short of His glory (Romans 3:23) the Word also says that a RIGHTEOUS MAN FALLS SEVEN TIMES, HE RAISES AGAIN….(Romans24:16). It’s not up to anyone to judge J. Moss (Matthew 7 tells us about judging others). If he falls then GETS UP and REPEN then who are we to judge him on his PAST sins. Thank God for His Mercy. If he has asked God or forgiveness and God has blotted out his past transgressions for His own sake and will not remember the many more (Isaiah 43:25), than who are we to keep bringing it up.
At first I didn’t really are about what happened but I realized that I should pray for J. Moss. 21:03 says in their song Brace Up on the Total Attention album….”Since it’s not us we could care less either way/ It’s not our issue so there’s nothing to say/ What’s even worse is that we won’t even pray”. That’s something that we should do…..PRAY for him and eveyone involved in this situation.
By the way Jason, not to sound rude, I love 21:03, even though you put lol at the end of your comment about them it wasn’t funny.
I came on here because I too heard about these blogs, lipstick alley and the other foolish sites. I must say it’s sad that Sin knocks on our doors and some of us have opened it and allowed it to walk in. These threads are so ungodly. All J. Moss, his brother and any man or woman of God as well as US on this site have a chance to REPENT, TO GOD, TURN FROM OUR WICKED WAYS AND HE FORGIVES. BUT WE HAVE TO GO DEEP SEA SCUBA DIVING INTO OTHERS SINS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PIECE THEIR LIVES BACK TOGETHER INSPITE OF THE SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENT. Some folk voicing their opinions haven’t even heard of J. Moss but have the unmitigated audicaty to join in. Come Saints, let’s put this thread to rest.
Mitch are you saying you’re a PASTOR? Lord have mercy. I pray this thread gets closure soon. As it’s been previous stated the baby will soon be a year old and folk are still dogging his parents. JUDGE NOT YA’LL….BE BLESSED AND I’M NO COWARD, BUT I WON’T BE BACK TO THIS MESS, GOSSIP, BACKBITING AND SLANDER. IF YOU REALLY, REALLY HAD J. MOSS, BILL, JR. ETC. YOU WOULD JUST PRAY FOR THEM AND STOP JOINING IN AND FUSSING WITH PEOPLE ON THIS AND OTHER SITES. PUT YOUR SIN ONLINE AND TALK ABOUT IT FOR A YEAR….BE BLESSED.
I just wanted to make a correction. I made a mistake on Jan. 22, 2009. I said that the Word also says that a RIGHTEOUS MAN FALLS SEVEN TIMES, HE RAISES AGAIN….(Romans24:16). It’s not from Romans 24:16, there is no Romanns24:16. I meant to say Proverbs 24:16. Can everyone stop goin back and forth with one another and pray from J. Moss so that if he’s faced with this temptation again that he won’t fall into that temptation. I have some of J. Moss songs on my MP3 player and he does say that He’s not perfect and none of us are, but we should be striving for perfection each day.
God Bless everyone and put and keep God first.
You know as a women of God, I believe that it’s wrong for a married man to be cheating on his wife. As christians we need to set example of how marriages should be, when we sin of course there’s a consequence for especially when you know the word.

YES, SIN IS SIN AND IT TENDS TO FIND IT’S WAY INTO THE PULPIT TO THE BACKDOOR. WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND HAVE FALLEN, “BUT GOD IS SUCH A FORGIVING GOD”. JAMES LORELL MOSS, SR., COMMITED ADULTERY AND THERE’S A CHILD INVOLVED. J. MOSS KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING AND I’M SURE HE’S REPENTED TO “GOD”, OBVIOUSLY MRS. MELANIE MOSS HAS FORGIVEN HIM AND HASN’T FILED FOR DIVORCE SO CAN WE PLEASE GIVE HIM A BREAK AND STOP THESE NASTY THREADS? LIKE SOMEONE SAID ABOVE, THE CHILD WILL BE “ONE” IN MARCH AND BESIDES “WHO AND WHAT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO GO ON FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS” ABOUT SOMEONE’S SHORTCOMINGS? YES I AGREE WITH SOMEONE ABOVE, HOW WOULD WE LIKE A THREAD ABOUT OUR SHORTCOMINGS AND SINS FOR MONTHS, AND MONTHS? I FELT SORRY JUST LOOKING AT J. MOSS IN THE AUDIENCE ON CELEBRATION OF GOSPEL. HE KNOW HE HAS TO STILL HOLD HIS HEAD UP, AND CONTINUE TO MINISTER. HE’S NOT THE FIRST AND UNFORTUNATELY WON’T BE THE LAST TO CHEAT ON HIS WIFE, BUT IT’S “THEIR BUSINESS”. LET’S JUST PRAY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND THE OTHER YOUNG LADY AND HIS SON. IT’S A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW WHEN A SPOUSE (MAN OR WOMAN) CHEATS BUT WHEN A CHILD IS ADDED, THAT MAKES THE WOUND DEEPER. NO, WE AS HUMANS CAN’T AND WON’T IGNORE IT, ESPECIALLY CHURCH PEOPLE BECAUSE “WE ARE GOSSIPERS” BUT THIS IS A NEW YEAR AND EVEN I SHOULDN’T BE COMMENTING ON THIS, BUT I ASK YOU TO “LET IT GO TOO”. LET THIS THREAD END IN FEBRUARY AND LET’S START FEBRUARY OFF WITHOUT “J.MOSS SHORTCOMINGS”. PRAY, PRAY AND THEN PRAY!!!!
JESUS BE A FENCE!!! People, People, People. Let’s do some math. The baby was conceived in 2007. He was born March of 2008. The breaking news of child support was in Oct. 2008. This is now 2009 almost Feb 2009. Is this really that important to any of you????
Yes, I am related to Mrs. Melanie Moss. If she likes it then we should love it and SHUT UP and stay off the computers.
Wow, there sure is alot of judging going on around here. Just because a man is saved and has a gospel career does not make them sinless, temptation proof, men. A person’s mistakes is not indicative of their relationship with God. His cheating on his wife is no different than you cheating on your taxes or stealing printer paper from your job. Sin is sin. There is no ” sin scale”. The truth is, we don’t know what his relationship with God is like. We have all shouted on Sunday and stepped into some foolishness on Monday. The enemy is attacking our kingdom in a major way (Paula Whites divorce, Juanita Bynum’s VERY public abuse scandal.) We all need to be on our knees praying for those in the kingdom who are highly visible to the public. And all of you talking about what you would have done if you were Mrs. Moss or how she’s sticking around because of the “lifestyle’! Please. You just proved how fickle you are and how strong she is. Jesus Christ was humiliated for us! We don’t know what God has in store for her for continuing to be obedient. I’m sure it’s not easy either. A nice car, a house and some clothes will never remove the pain that she is probably feeling. Sometimes in this walk as believers we have to go through some things that we would have never thought we would have to go through. Even Jesus asked God to ” let this cup pass” and “if there be any other way then let it be so”…
Some of you need to stop judging…it could be you next!
Some of you are to engrossed in this story.We don’t know if he asked God for forgiveness or not it isn’t our business.If you stop buying albums then that is your business.Pray for him and let Upper management handle His job.We spend to much time majoring on the minor stuff.Lets worry about the lost. How can “we” impact a dying world with what we do?
