15-year-old girl arguing to go to a party at 1:00 in the morning? What’s wrong with this picture?

Evidently, the daughter was asking for Dollar’s money.

Creflo was quick to defend Bishop Long when Long was accused to paying young men for sex. Way too quick.

Don’t devalue the Dollar any further.

From Wiki: Creflo Dollar is the pastor of World Changers Church International of College Park, Georgia. Presumably he chose that name himself, completely free of fear that it would be soon be better known as Money Changers Church International by the 30,000 members who weekly enrich its coffers and make it possible for Creflo to maintain the two jets—one Gulfstream 3 and one Lear—that he uses to shuttle back and forth between Madison Square Garden (where he does a Saturday night service for an audience of 6,000) and Atlanta (where he does a Sunday morning service), not to mention occasional visits to his offices in the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia and Nigeria. Creflo’s wife Taffi Dollar—and here we remind you once again that we are not lapsing into fiction at any point during the creation of this article—Taffi Dollar is responsible for the household budget at the $3 million Dollar mansion in Atlanta, and the more modest $2.44 million Dollar condo overlooking Central Park in Manhattan. Asked about the Dollar dollars by CBS News yesterday, Dollar said it was untrue that he had two Rolls-Royces; he claimed that he only had one Rolls-Royce and it was given to him by his congregation as a surprise. He also said he did not give $500,000 of church funds to fellow prosperity gospel evangelist Kenneth Copeland on the occasion of Copeland’s 40th wedding anniversary. Accordingly, Dollar’s annual budget for his operation was estimated at “about 80 million”

Let’s hope this is the beginning of many seeing Dollar for the wolf in sheep’s clothing he is.

The wife’s name is Taffi.

The daughter’s name must be Halfa.

Every time I have watched this man preach, he has been pretty darn solid — which leads me to believe the may be a case where he is being targeted by the left. Be interesting to know if he parted ways with Obama on homosexual marriage. If so, of course, he would have to be punished by the mainstream media. Let’s not throw this guy to the wolves too soon.

Too bad that they could not have arrested him for peddling a false gospel!

I'm on his side until proven otherwise.

Does this mean he can never again own a gun?

The police report says Dollar choked his daughter, then threw her to the ground, punched her and hit her with his shoe during a fight at his metro Atlanta home.

And she probably deserved worse than that. (and don't presume I mean physical violence. Once a child has the ability to speak, physical punishment doesn't really work.)

FIRST, it has been my experience that CHILDREN of MINISTERS/PASTORS seem to be the most 'rebellious' children I've had the chance to know. They seem to be bent on violating ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS, and generate the need for some NEW commandments.

My guess is that the 'truth' to this story (the actual physical 'violence') is halfway between the story from Creflo and the story from his daughter.

IF I had to sit in judgement of the affair, I would certainly give more credence to Creflo's version than his daughter's version.

What CAUSED this 'fight' would be very interesting, however, it is none of our business, and truthfully, neither is the fight. But... our government thinks it knows how to raise our children better than we do.

I PRAY that Creflo's daughter lives long enough to find out how smart her father is, and how stupid she was being. (I know, it's a longshot, but as a Christian, I can hope)

The “prosperity Gospel” interpretation of scripture is a source of many people coming to think they are not gaining “success” because they lack “faith” or are not practicing their Christian faith correctly - because (and quite simply) if you were, you would be “successful”.

Someone how I don’t think G-d measures “success” by human standards.

As an aside... 15 year olds are psychotic!

A client once told me that when his kids were 15 he wanted to kill them and tell God they died.
I understand the feeling - thankfully behind us now.

Guess this might clear up some more airtime on TBN for Benny Hinn or Joel Osteen.
