ATLANTA - (AP) Police said Juanita Bynum, a televangelist who has won a national following with sermons about women's empowerment, was assaulted by her preacher husband in the parking lot of an Atlanta hotel early Wednesday.

Bynum and her estranged husband, Thomas W. Weeks III, the founder of Global Destiny churches, met at Renaissance Concourse Hotel near Atlanta's airport to try to reconcile, police said.

About 4 a.m., they fought in the parking lot until a hotel bellman pulled Weeks off, Officer Ronald Campbell said.

"She was bruised up and battered," Campbell said. "She had purple bruising around her neck and upper torso."

At the end of the day you have yourself and God...who knows what could have been going on behind closed doors....no one is perfect and there are many signs before the storm...this storm finally came her way...But she is a strong woman...and thank God she is alive....now is time to move on and reflect and heal....Its really sad but as a woman of Goad and having prayer she already knows what she has to do...As far as the husband....God will handle him in his own way...I just pray things get better and she cuts him completely off....this a lesson to all women...read signs before the signs can almost kill you...
