Yesterday evening was the Season 2 premiere of Preachers of L.A. According to previews, Season 2 is going to be a lot more real. While ministering, there will be real moments. Last night's episode started off with a bang. Anyone who has followed the show since it's inception knows that Bishop Noel Jones and Loretta have been the topic of discussion. Bishop Jones and Loretta have been friends for 16 years, and supposedly they're carrying on like a married couple. Ron Gibson feels they should get married since they act like a married couple. Here's the catch: Bishop Jones has told Loretta that he has no intention of getting married, but she's looking for more. From what I've watched of Loretta on the show, she's a stand-up woman. She has her own bistro that Noel helped get off the ground, and they've been close since then. Their relationship has grown, so I think they should get married, but that's not my call.
Bishop Ron Gibson is my favorite preacher on the show, and he stays true to who he is. He's taken no shorts in his opposition towards Bishop Jones and Loretta's relationship. My question is: Why is Bishop Gibson so concerned about Loretta and Noel's relationship? While I feel Bishop Jones & Loretta should get married, what if they're not ready? Bishop Jones has been married before, and that ended in divorce so he doesn't want to make that same mistake again, which I can understand. Loretta has a decision to make: She can be content with her friendship with Noel, or she can give him an ultimatum: Marry me, or I'm gone. If a woman has shown herself worthy of a good man, and he's stalling, sometimes she has to make him commit. I think the reason why Noel and Loretta's relationship has drawn criticism from Bishop Gibson is that he thinks they're sinning by how they carry on like a married couple, even though they're not married.
I never thought I'd see Loretta go in, but even the most chill people have their limits. Nobody likes their business put on blast, and Loretta proved that last night. When Lady Lavette (Bishop Gibson's wife) called out Loretta, Loretta checked her. Loretta was like "It's none of anyone's business how Bishop Jones and I conduct ourselves. We're content with our relationship as is." She had had enough of Bishop Gibson and Lavette's meddling, and she shut it down. Next week's episode, she sets Bishop Gibson straight. I won't miss that for nothing.
