- "beat down" ie - spanking or as in the south - whoopin. spanking/whoopin might be an obsolete way for you to dicipline your children which is precisely why I bet your children "overrule" you in your own home - just saying. yep - guess you are "overruled"

- Dear Pastor Dollar , As we know our Lord will turn this around for our good , yeah "OUR" good, we are with you, Taffy and your daughter concerning this matter.We have 3 children that are grown now, a daughter 31 , two sons ages 28 and 24 years of age. We had to give them what old school Black folk in Virginia call a good tightened up ( for all the liberals - gave them a spanking )when they were unruley; i.e. talked back ,mis-behaved in school or when one or the other had disputes as kids do sometimes. It got physical with the boys espicially (as youngsters) where we as parents had to step in and the guilty person got a spanking.Now as parents we realized that there is always one child in our case out of three that will think they can push it to the limit or other words try you .Later in the raising process My youngest at age sixteen then did just that.I was correcting him about something he done wrong ,he got in my face and began to disrespect me, fortunately my oldest son was home and he stepped between us and helped defused the matter ,thank God... that could have been serious situation right there.Here's the good part that same son and I at age 24 are thight (we have a good father and son relationship ) He thanked me about six months or so ago when we were having lunch together, his words were : "Dad I want to thank you and mom for raising us right " and ended by saying ," I see the value in it now that I am older". You know brother, kind look at like this: you went to jail just for brief moment so she won't have to later . My son and I had our little stint and now we don't go there -don't have to . Lastly , Jesus went to hell for us so we don't have to.When we discipline our children are protecting them from dire consequenses of their bad behavior. They will thank us later.All three of our children turned out beautifully.Your daughter will too. God bless you brother.

- People need to remember that men and women of God are still men and women. While God calls some to be apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers He calls them from among us mere mortals. The only perfect person to walk this earth was Jesus. Just as with most cases there are two sides to this story and only those who were there know what happened. I am a father and I find it hard to believe this man, who isn't a drug addicted alcoholic with a history of violence, just walked up to his child who was crying and choked her because she politely said "Dad I don't want to talk right now". I wasn't there and I don't know all the details, just as no one on this blog does. What ever happened, it is a matter that needs to be taken care of by Pastor Dollar, his wife and their daughter.
Ntcmjohn could you please tell me exactly where in the Bible it says Jesus was extremely poor, since you claim Pastor Dollar doesn't know his Bible? I do not claim to be a Bible scholar, but I have read it a time or two and can't remember reading that in there. Jesus did say that the poor will always be with us, but not that it was his will that they remain poor. In the verse you are referring to, Mark 14:7, Jesus was actually telling the people to leave a woman alone who had just poured very expensive oil on his head instead of selling it and using the money to help the poor. I know this because I did not just read that one verse but instead read several verses before and after that one. In Matthew 6:31-33 Jesus says not to worry what you will eat, drink or wear but to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. I take this not to mean that having fine food or clothes is a bad thing but instead to me it means that if I seek God first He will take care of my earthly needs. In Matthew 7:7-11 Jesus talks about being able to ask the Father for what we want and Him giving us what we ask for. If my father tells me and my brother that he will buy each of us a car and I ask him for a 1980 Yugo and he buys it for me, why should I be mad if my brother asks for a 2012 Bentley and my father buys it for him? If Pastor Dollar is blessed with millions because he is doing God's will and God has blessed him; who are you or me to criticize him for it? If he has gotten his millions by treachery he will have to explain that to God one day.
Natalie1965 I have been poor and I know a lot of poor people and I have never heard anyone describe being poor as a blessing. Yes even in a state of poverty they are blessed to be alive, have food to eat, a place to live or whatever the case may be, but being poor itself is a curse, at least that is how I felt. I don't believe Pastor Dollar said they are poor because they are cursed, I think he was saying the state of not having enough to meet your needs and the needs of your loved ones is a curse. You called Pastor Dollar a hypocrite and those who give money to him stupid. The members of his church are simply doing what the Bible says in Malachi 3:10. If the pastor of a church steals the tithes and offerings that is between him/her and God, just as if a politician steals your tax dollars you have done your part and he/she has to answer to the Federal or State government for the theft. If the members of his church give to him directly that is their money and their choice.
Christ_Centered in our country it is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. There is going to be an investigation and if the evidence proves he did this he will be held accountable. The girl's mother and, in this case, the police are standing up for her rights. But if he did not do it this will not be the first time someone was falsely accused. Rushing to judgment without knowing all the facts is wrong and dangerous, read what happened to Craig and Wendy Humphries of Valencia, CA.
I am not a member of his church and I choose not to pass judgment on those who are, just as I choose not to pass judgment on those who do not believe in God. I have enough going on in my life that I can't afford to point out others flaws, read Matthew 7:1-5. This is just my long winded opinion. - Reply to this comment
- You foolish foolish sheep! I am so tired of predominantly black churches making excuses for their violent/**************/fraudulant "pastors" - and I use the word pastor loosely because basically all we have left are slick, elitist snake oil salesmen and women. Yes...I am a member of an all black church and I have been for 20 years so don't start - otherwise how could I possibly be this fed up and angry? If a white leader did this to his teenage daughter the entire black community would be screaming for him to be incarcerated and stripped of everything he owns.
There is a difference between a spanking and a choking. Who is standing up for the daughters rights? Fortunately our country isn't entirely lawless yet and we still have law enforcement who clearly didn't care who champion money launderer Creflo Dollar is. Domestic violence is domestic violence. Period.
What's next false Christians? Should you start seeking the skies for the second coming of Tupac your real Savior? Oh wait. Most of you already are. - Reply to this comment
- Here's my video response to this horrible incident --> http://youtu.be/0123wqT1MDQ
Creflo Dollar is suffering from severe anger/rage issues and possibly is dealing with unresolved issues within his personal life. It also brings up the issue of how to discipline children and the use of corporal punishment within the home. - Reply to this comment
- I feel that the level of punishment and disipline has to fit the crime. The lord says Honor thy mother and father....this child disrespected her father. I grew up getting spankings, and at 15, she doesn't need spankings, she wants to act like she is an adult, I will treat her like one, Pay a bill...get a job, take care of yourself. My mother gave me a hard earned lesson on responsibility when i went against her rules. All kids of all ages, need structure and disipline. the older they get, the further away from their parents they grow, but in the end, always come back. I don't like to hear people talking like this as if they've never spanked their kids, or let them cry or didn't comfort them when they fall....She is 15, and GOD knows she was not raised this way. If the answer is NO....the answer is NO. I'm praying for you Pastor.. ~D
