The south Georgia home of televangelist
Juanita Bynum will be auctioned off next month unless she pays
nearly $39,000 in back taxes, interests and penalties.

Ware County Tax Commissioner Steve Barnard told The Florida
Times-Union the home, which is owned by Juanita Bynum Ministries,
has been advertised among the homes that will be up for sale at the
county courthouse on November 6th.

Barnard says the home is being auctioned because she hasn't paid
taxes on it for 2006.

Barnard says the property tax bill on the house is $32,007 and
Bynum must also pay more than $6,944 in interest, penalties and
costs.

According to tax records, the house sits on more than 23 acres
in Waycross. Because Bynum does not live there, the house does not
qualify for homestead exemption.

Bynum made headlines in August when she accused her husband,
Thomas W. Weeks III, of beating her in the parking lot of an
Atlanta hotel. She has since filed for divorce from Weeks, who is
known to his followers as Bishop Weeks.

Weeks has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault
and making terroristic threats. He is free on $40,000 bond.
