Guy #9: Mr. “Fake T.D. Jakes”
I must say that I know this guy well. I grew up in the church, dated Christian brothas and even messed around and married one! The divorce wasn’t pretty!
This brotha is a religious fanatic. God, God, God…Jesus, Jesus, Jesus....Allah, Allah, Allah…Hallelujah!! This is pretty much what you can expect from this guy. I called this guy Mr. “T.D. Jakes” after the popular Christian bishop, but a guy that fits this profile doesn’t have to be Christian. He could be Muslim or apart of some other religion. His entire life is devoted (at least he pretends that it is) to being “holy” and “righteous”.
What this guy often turns out to be is self-righteous! He presents himself as someone who is perfect and above everyone else. He’s tries to speak with authority and confidence and often leads others to believe that the words that come out of his mouth are fact and not just his personal perspective on things. Expect this guy to be old-fashioned and very outspoken, having an authoritative opinion on every subject even those who he clearly knows absolutely nothing about.
Now I have a lot of respect for religious folks. I think a woman that gets involved with a hard-working, respectful, God-fearing man is on the right path toward possible happiness. But it’s all about “degrees”, remember that, and the degree in which this guy lives a religious lifestyle is off the charts!
In spite of presenting himself as living such a disciplined, responsible lifestyle, the reality is this guy tends to be irresponsible and unstable. His so-called “spiritual life” might be on the highest level but his personal and professional life is often a joke! See, many guys who fit this profile are unsuccessful in other aspects of their lives so they embrace religion because it makes them “feel good” and gives them authority and credibility in the eyes of the community (especially women in the church). This kind of guy may not even have a job because he’s so “involved” in church work and if he is actually employed, then it’s at some dead-end job.
The funny thing about many guys that fit this profile is that they’re hypocrites! He may talk all of the usual religious, Bible-quoting, Koran-quoting stuff, but he doesn’t practice what he preaches! He may speak against drinking but he get pissy drunk on Saturday night and he's the first in church Sunday morning! He may get his freak-on, on nightclub dance floors, and be the first one through the door when the church opens. While he proclaims total devotion to you in reality he’s out chasing half-naked chicks in the streets and nightclubs and holy-roller women in the choir!
Some guys that fit this profile are “laypeople” in the church but most at the minimum have aspirations of holding prominent positions in the church such as serving on the deacon board or in the ministry.
This kind of dude may actually believe that he’s well on his way to becoming the next T.D. Jakes, living the life of the “fat cat” preacher with a mega church, mansion, luxury cars, $3,000 suits, front cover of the Time magazine, the whole works!
I say to that: There’s not a chance in Heaven or Hell that will ever happen!
Yeah, girl, it’s likely that he’s a total fraud, fooling you and others that he’s on that stairwell to heaven when in fact he’s on that “slick-ery” slide to the depths of hell! So, if you’re involved with Mr. “Fake T.D. Jakes” and you think one day you might actually marry this guy....
Girl, don’t do it!!

As a conscious brother I would have to say that I agree with your comments. The guys is a fraud. I would also like to add that he seems like a pimp too. He is pushing Color Purple politics under the banner of religion.
