The big news is that Creflo A. Dollar, preacher at the prosperity cult World Changers Church in College Park, Georgia was arrested for beating and then choking his daughter. According to WBSTV, “deputies arrested Dollar at his home after receiving a 911 call from Dollar’s 15-year-old daughter. She said her father attacked her after an argument about the girl attending a party. A witness told authorities that Dollar grabbed the girl around her throat and choked her causing a scratch on her neck, according to Fayette County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Brent Rowan.“

According to the Associated Press, “Dollar faces misdemeanor charges of simple battery and cruelty to children. He bonded out of Fayette County jail Friday morning. Dollar’s lawyer Nikki Bonner said he’s gathering information on the case and had no comment.” He was released on $5,000 bond.

You would think that is enough for people to check this guy. Nope! Even after saying people should get shot for not tithing this isn’t enough. The cult leaders grip on them and their wallets is strong.
I have seen comments on the intertubes (internet) where folks were saying, “that’s it?”, “he should have kicked her” or “my parents were worse.” I guess they did not read the police report. And as a result of her father’s actions a teenage girl is being slut shamed because according to some, “we know how fast crazy ass girls can be.” I am a surprised? Nope. After all, the church is were women are required to submit to store front preachers who are exfelons, skirt chasers and illiterates that received a degree and certificate online for a few bucks. Most of these freaks hate women, other religions and different views.
Some will drop the ole “spare the rod spoil the child” line. Whatever!! Well this was allegedly a 50 year old grown ass man beating on a 15 year old child all because she, like most teens, wanted to go to a party and got sassy. RRRRIIIGGGTTT! Dollar while walking out of the jail said, “Discipline my kid. Love ‘em,” Dollar said as he was leaving jail Friday morning.” That isn’t love. Its madness and if you think it’s justified you are mad too. By the way his other daughter was the witness. She changed her story because she didn’t want to see her father get arrested. She later went on as claimed by the police officer in the report, to eventually tell the truth. Taffi Dollar, even though she was the one who pulled her husband off her daughter, claimed to just see “her daughter on the floor and did not see the altercation.” Typical turn a blind eye to abuse church nonsense.

The message of the day from Ceep D flo of YourDollars apologists is it’s ok to beat and choke your daughter as long as it is done from a man who makes $80 million while claiming to know the word of Gawd. Who knew that Jesus thought abuse was acceptable? Heck who knew that buying a blessing request from Rev. Dollar meant you were going to receive a financial blessing on layaway and if not according to Rev Dollar you should be shot? This is the same guy who defended pedophile and child predator Eddie Long. Well according to Dollar, “he (Eddie Long) got insurance.” Any wonder why church membership has declined?

****UPDATE #2****
The prosperity pimp Rev. Dollar said in church today:
“The truth is, she was not choked. She was not punched.” “I want the church family to know that all is well in the Dollar household.” “I love her with all my heart.”
He later went on to compare himself to men in the bible when he said, “Paul … Jesus … and Creflo.” Arrogance like a mother. He also blamed the devil and everyone else but himself. Whelp, I guess all is forgiven. Because according to Dollar, “”No weapon that forms against you shall prosper.” Quotes via CNN.com

Creflo Dollar “Tithe or get shot”
This is so sad to me. You know, I was raised in a very intimate, loving Christian community.Then we discovered the Prosperity BS and after about 11 years I’m out of the church completely now. They have no idea how much they ruin people’s faith. I have had better spiritual results relying on not only myself but other spiritual practices outside of Christianity. I just can’t believe that they great God/Goddess of the universe is limited to an ancient book created by mere mortals. I just think the God/Goddess is bigger than that.
I absolutely agree
Mr CREate the FLOw of DOLLARs got himself in trouble,huh?lol These preacher pimps never quit. He stood up for his pal Eddie “Pedophile” Long and now he’s in trouble himself. He knows he shouldn’t be putting his hands on that child. But then again this is the same guy who wants to shoot those who don’t pay their tithe. Man of God? Yeah right! These men have no shame. They are making millions off the black community but the black collective doesn’t seem to benefit at all. Why don’t these black preachers buy some land,crate a black bank,create black businesses?? Nope! All they want to do is exploit the black community,just like all the other non-black folks do. I guess it’s just a matter of time before we hear on the news about a TD Snakes scandal.smh
get your facts straight. Creflo hasn’t taken a salary from his church for many years. He is an independent business man with many holdings, and stock portfolios and give millions to other missions, outreaches, and the poor.
Sigh. No one said he did. I suggest you read again. Besides that it still does not refute the situation which is that he beat his kid!
People like Creflo Dollar just make Christianity look wrong. Period.
I was raised in a liberation theology church so this mentality is so astounding to me.
Many of my Christian friends have taken to having weekly gatherings in their homes and having bible study together, where it is peaceful and they’re with people they know and love. Why don’t more black women do something like this, instead of filling the pockets of perverts.
I’m not a Christian myself, but if God is really meant to be all loving, I don’t think he/she/it cares too much where you worship. So it leaves me banging my head against a table that people continue to go to these institutions of abuse and false indoctrination.
Exactly where does it dictate that you have to go to some fancy building/temple to worship your God. These people are stealing money and worse innocent lives.
That is why they lie to the Black Women with that
waiting on the Lord so they could get most of her money. If a Black women becomes married,
most of her time and resources will be used towards the family. Also she will have a life and so the BM preacher won’t have access to her free time under the banner of “helps ministry”.
He will get all the free help with out paying her a salary and talk about the Lord loves a cheerful giver and you will receive your rewards from God. Well I can’t take that to the gas station or to a grocery store. Not too long ago Jimmie Swaggert, Jim Baker had accusation towards them. The sad part is the Black community fleecing an already depleated entity and they have fancy cars and homes while they congregation van barely keep their heads above water. I went to a Catholic church and most of the children their had mothers and fathers. Most non denomination churches have things regarding the betterment of family. Yet, in the Black churches how often do you hear saying things regarding family outing and when you see men there, most of them are looking for some type of freebie, be it a free meal or take up some unsuspecting female who he approaches saying he needs prayer when all the long he is preying in her. Black Women seek out other churches where you see men being courteous, and kind and not demonstrating hostility towards you.
Yep
Live the article due to the time zone I can’t go in on this as I’m in London but I pray all Christians can heal from the lies gradually and realize the greatness our ancestors and history have for us not some house negro profiting from our vulnerability
As much as I dislike what this man Mr. Dollar represents to the point that I have lost all religious faith over the years, I have to say he did NO wrong here. If he assaulted a stranger then ok that’s messed up but that is his damn daughter! A child can’t live under your roof and outright disrespect you. What is the world coming to or are you just hypocrites?
Don’t try and act like you don’t know what 15 year olds be doing at parties these days. As far as I’m concerned this was excellent parenting on his part. he clearly doesn’t want his daughter to turn into a hoe and the next thing you know a mother to a fatherless child. Where are your morals people? Wake up!
