As an educator in the public schools and the Youth Development systemn today’s youth have gotten out of control. They are juveniles but ding adult behviors but when punished they want to be treated as children. Dr. Dollar was putting his daugter back in the role of the child and he the parent even to the extent of using corporal punishment. Mind you he go all over the country preaching to others and their household andthen come home to find his household not in order. I think he need to take some time off from flying over the world and tend to his daugtheRs because next time may not be as the last incident.
Dr. Dollar has a right as a parent to discipline his daugters as long as there are no marks or bruises on their bodies. There were no marks on Alexandra’s body.
Dr. Dollar is mandated by the State of Georgia to enroll his children in a HomeSchool program or a private or a public education setting. He has did so and has set up a reward system if they do not do well academically. His daughter’s grades were not passing and she would not be attendng a party she wanted to go to until her grades have improved.
So why should Dr. Dollar have gone to jail when he was being the leader of his household.

Isn’t it nice that we live in a world where men hitting women can conveniently be put in the terms of them protecting them. It’s always lovely to see fathers setting a wonderful example for the kind of men they want in their daughters’ lives–men who will forcefully put them in place when they get out of line.

I don’t know what kind of fatherhood you imagine, but one where a father– who’s supposed to represent a protector–puts his hands on his daughter is not not alright. If you can’t work around your own anger and impulses, don’t expect your kids to be able to work around theirs. THIS IS NOT OKAY. YOUR DEFENCE OF IT IS APPALLING.

To have a title that says ‘Creflo Dollar Arrested, Daughter beat down’ and then go onto defend his actions is offensive. You’re not even trying to defend him by drawing a distinction between his character and his reprehensible actions. Instead you’re commiserating with this man’s criminalized behavior. Think about your words and influence sir. Think about the choices you made in supporting this foolishness. Think about the ways in which it victimizes young girls and further separates them from the men they’re supposed to be able to trust.

I think pastor Dollar did the right thing with his daughter. I was rasied with a sister and I saw the hard time that she gave my Mother. She constantly did what she wanted to do. Now I have three girls and its hard dealing with them because at times they think they know it all. THe heads start rolling and eyes start glaring. I would have done the same thing he did, no child should ever disrespect there parents. For the person that applauded the child, you should rethink your thoughts sir. Do you know a young girl or woman is raped every 5 mins in America? A 15 year old should have consulted her Mother before she called the police. My sister tried that with my Mother in the 80’s and I know for a fact my sister was totally in the wrong. We laugh about it now but she did say she did it because she wanted to do what she wanted to do. She felt know one could stop her because it was her 13 year old life.

my prayers are with ur family, I can only imagine she smart mouthed her father and he had enough. I would have to be bailed out too….Enough is enough, thank God he stopped her at home and the police did not stop her outside of their home. No judgment on my part…it isn’t easy to control teenagers these days, your damned if you do and damned if you don’t. He spanked with a shoe darn I remember extension cords being used by my parents…and was afraid to dial 911…many of you can relate. God Bless you family.

I will say this again I was not in the house nor was any of the persons submitting comments, so to say someone was choked just because they were accused is jumping the gun. For the gentleman who commented on the wisdom of his daughter calling 911, I think the daughter would have been wiser to listen to her parents, but we cant blame her because shes just a child. No family is exempt from having situations like this arise, so to say something is terribly wrong because your 15 year old wont listen is a little much. Prayer not condemnation is the proper remedy, this too shall pass.

Creflo is a man not GOD. Men get angry and they mix it with temper so the devil uses temper as a passage for sin. Don’t conclude that dollar ashamed GOD, as a matter of fact romans 13:7 does it and Paul also prophesied this in 2 timothy 3:2 so dollar bravo for the good work done. SAVE HER FROM HELL BY FORCE.

From my point of view, the daughter has more wisdom then her so called father, because she understands and exercised her rights by calling the police for protection against an abusive father! I salute her courage and respect her for standing up for herself against a man of Gawd, who was acting like the devil!

There is something terribly wrong with this incident! My only question is, where is the Love of God in Creflo’s relationship with his daughter?

Let me remind some of the posters of one fact they are overlooking:

Beating and choking are NOT forms of Biblical discipline. He wasn’t spanking her, he was mugging her.

Don’t twist Scripture to try to excuse what is obviously abuse. The Bible says that if we “spare the rod” we will “spoil the child.” Spare the rod and punch and “punch and choke the snot out of them” is nowhere close.

First of all I was not there so I dont know what actually happened but society is so quick to call discipline abuse. Social outlets are so concerned with protecting of our children from so called abuse and wants us to use time outs. Many of our parents used lights out tactics instead of time outs and many of us turned out fine, we had respect for one another and respect for our elders. It seem to be very clear if we refer to Proverbs 23:13 (NLT)
“Don’t fail to discipline your children. They won’t die if you spank them.” As far as the comments regarding Rev Dollar and his prosperity message, I have listened to him on TV myself and his message is not based on money alone he preaches on having prosperous relationships, health, as well as not being in lack. I also agree with the comments of Jaycyofate. An athlete, entertainer, financier can make all the money in the world but God forbid a preacher have money then he is automatically a crook. Let me remind us there are people that excel in every profession you have struggling lawyers and millionaire lawyer. The same goes for doctors, contractors, realtors as well as clergy. I dont think Im the right person to determine if Pastor Dollar needs a mansion,a Bentley, jet,ect. He does however have a church in Atlanta(Sunday service) and NYC(Saturday service). I do have a friend that is a member of the NYC church and she seems to be growing in a mighty and healthy way. My Pastor teaches us they way to tell if a Pastor is a wolf in sheeps clothing is by the fruit of his harvest which does not mean just money. Im under the belief system that God is the only qualified judge of that, prayers go out to Pastor Dollar and his family and to all of you.
