It is great reading how much love each of you have for the DeBarge family.

And thank you all for sharing all that love here…and I know for sure that all of your encouragement and love means oh so much to each and every one of them too.

It aids in the healing to know that they are still loved…and none of what happened was their fault.

I love you"De Barge family" you will always be in my prayers. It hurts me so much to know what your family went through. I am so proud of you that you are dealing with it and letting God, the lover of your soul heal you from the inside out. Love you always. PS: El you are so darn fine; even at 50, God has really blessed you I believe it is because you give him the glory. I pray that I meet you some day. I would like to give you a big long hug.

Comment on BISHOP LARRY TROTTER and child in a bathtub… by bsmith101

Hi, Marc…I do realize that everybody is not going to find this particular blog of mine favorable, about Bishop Larry Trotter in a bathtub with a little girl.

The issue here, however, is not whether or not it was even someone related to him…but whether or not it was appropriate?

And I have to agree…as so many others…that it was not…appropriate.

Bishop Trotter’s interview statements leave much to be challenged. Like why was the bathroom door where he was taking a bath open so that anyone could just walk in on him?

Did he really get up out of his bath water to go put on swim trunks?

That just doesn’t sound logical.

And yes, it is true that initially Bishop Trotter had written a book had been entitled ‘My something or other, My b—ch, My whore.’ Because the title was so shocking to most people he may have had it changed.

And the book THE BISHOP’S WIFE… Well, that’s my book. If you look at the picture of the book you’ll see my name onh the book cover.

Sorry you didn’t like what i had to say regarding this story…but thank you for voicing your opinion on the subject.

Clearly whoever took this picture of Bishop Trotter and this supposed grand-daughter open up a can of worms for the Bishop.

Based upon the picture both he and the little girl are naked. Nobody gets into a bathtub to take a bath with a pair of swim trunks on. So, Bishop Trotter’s spin on the story really just does not add up.

I must take issue with this blog on several of your assertions. We don’t know if Bishop Trotter was in the tub with the baby naked. According to him, he had on trunks and there was obviously someone else in the room with him as they took the picture. Which Trotter claims was his daughter. Secondly, Bishop never had a series entitled “My Wife, my Mistress. my Bitch, My Whore. It was entitled, “My Wife, My Mistress. My Whore. Lastly, he has written several books and none of them where entitled “The Bishop Wife”. Bishop wrote a book “Living Above SEE Level”, about his marriage and how HE got caught in the glitz and glamor of being a Bishop in a reformation that was growing. He like many men of the cloth paid more attention to church than he did his wife and admitted so.

Well, Gena…the context of this blog is really about me being highly apologic regard my past attitude and preception of the DeBarge’s. I was young…though bad behavior at any age is still bad behavior. But there is something about hearing about other people’s pain that can open up your eyes to look deeper into who they really are. I was looking at something then and thought it funny…I had no idea what laid under the surface.

And my thoughts had nothing to do with their voices. But I do sincerely apoligize about that time in my life when my thoughts were very warped, limited, hurtful and unkind.

I hope that cleared that up for you. Thanks for your comment. I am sure that they love reading from fans like you who are willing to take me on…and I don’t mind. Every now and then we all could use a little chastising. So, thanks again for your comment.

Quite handsome. They all are and perhaps that is what really made their stories even more special. To be so beautiful on the outside and dealing with such pain on the inside.

I’m sure he probablly got a kick out you. Hope you were able to say ‘hi.’

I agree with a previous poster that you sound extremely ignorant with your assumption that the DeBarge men must have been “sweet”. A falsetto voice does not make a man gay.

As your irrational diatribe continues, you confirm my assumption of your total ignorance. I guess anyone can become a “blogger”, but a true journalist realizes that assertions must be supported by fact.

Although you, in your own long-winded fashion, later admit and describe your many incorrect statements, and try to justify them, a true journalist knows to never inject opinion into news. And since you included so many “news” facts and photos, I can only assume you intend this blog to be taken seriously.

I happened upon this blog by accident, and thus don’t know anything about its mission or author. As such, it is doubtful that I return.

Well, I thank you very much for you kind compliment to me. But it is not I but people like you who love and care about them which has helped them so much. It is not everyday that you find out just how much people really love you…not only what you do or did…or are doing. But you…and they have come to know that through comments like yours.

Thanks again for your lovely comment.

My prayers go out to the remaining family member and I know God will do the miraculous. It is hard to hear God will do this and will do that when all this pain they endured happened will trying to establish a relationship with the Lord. I had to realize that as life happens, and it does, our God has not forsaken us. Bless you for the info on the family and I feel like you did an awesome job of staying bias while helping the family move past the pain and hurt!
