First, Bishop Eddie Long, pastor of a Georgia megachuch, accused of having sexual relations with several male members of his congregation.

Then Rev. Zachary Tims, pastor of an Orlando megachurch, exposed for having an affair with a stripper, found dead in a New York City hotel room with a white powder in his pocket.

Now Creflo Dollar, charged with physically abusing his teen-age daughter.

That is what happens when those called by God lose their anointing

Sad to hear of this.

I don’t much like televangelists (Charles Stanley being the major exception).

Pray for him and his daughter.

Dude’s a poser from the beginning.

I mean, his very name tells us what he’s about.

Dollar was arrested and thrown in jail after going went medieval on his 15-year-old daughter.

“The Spirit of God Has Departed from Creflo Dollar”

That sounds like a huge overstatment don’t you think?

He’s only human, his girl could be lieing. Give the benefit of doubt till he’s charged and has a trial. God never leaves anyone. HE’S always there.

Who shall guard the guardians? It is a shame whenever a cult of personality overshadows the Gospel, because when the human fails, as he/she will, it damages the ministry most of all. The situation could have been saved by a press conference that said “I am human, I got angry, I failed, I pray for the forgiveness of my daughter, my friends, the church, and Jesus.” Pulling back inside the shell of false piety? You just killed your church, pal.

Whether the daughters are lying or whether it’s he, it doesn’t look good for the reputation of that family. Either way things are out of control.

As a once-saved-always-saved “Cal-minian,” I think it’s putting it a bit extremely to say the spirit of God has simply gone from him — although he may well have sacrificed some special anointings and blessings by the way he may have carried on.

Did Rev. Dollar bestow that name on himself? Or was that his born name? If he didn’t choose it, there’s not much point in ragging on him about it.

Engaging in criminal acts is more accurate than “going medieval”.
Being evil, maybe.

Who has, or has not, lost the anointing is God's decision. He alone gives it. I, for one, will reserved judgment til I know more facts.

I will say that I know a story about a MAJOR "conservative" reporter who did a hit piece on Dollar and others and he deliberately and grossly lied about the, editing video footage which I myself saw to slander these men and women. I'll be happy to provide details in private. He was sued and had to settle for a massive amount, something reporters rarely do. So I am skeptical about any info put out by the drive-bys on televangelists and just as skeptical when Freepers are quick to insist that they know who does, and does not, have the anointing.

So how do you “misconstrue” or “take out of context” somebody choking you and beating you with a shoe?

YBPDLN PL Ping

The YBPDLNPL is generally published infrequently, but based on the exploits of the megachurch pastors posts can spike for a period of time. If you would like on or off of this list please FReepmail me.
