Was he really born with that name?
Why, when you tighten up?
The old proverb stands... You REAP what you SOW.
Both Wikipedia and his official Creflo Dollar Ministries biography do not get into that. The scandal referenced above is only 2 days old and already it got into Wikipedia; somebody’s watching.
Seems Dollar has some viable alternatives available: either confess it, or deny it if the facts are applicable. It’s a misdemeanor and he likely could easily plead out with probation. I don’t know, however, how you “misconstrue” a shoe. (Like it was really a stocking?) The dodging stinks worse, much worse, than the act.
Engaging in criminal acts is more accurate than “going medieval”.
Being evil, maybe.
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?
I would venture to say that a prosperity gospel is just plain baloney. You really have to stretch the Bible badly to get any apparent basis for it, and spirits not from God that do unbiblical things are very rife in the world.
Still, he must have gotten QUITE a smear job outside of the prosperity gospel problem if he, as a public figure, won a libel suit.
Another fraud bites the dust.
I landed on his show one time in the middle of flipping channels. He was saying that it’s okay to tell God you want a new car, and it’s okay to tell Him you don’t want no piece of junk-—you want a Cadillac!
As the Liberals have pointed out in the past, similar cases, ALWAYS believe the children. They never lie about something as important as this.
This was never a “he said” “she said” thing.
This is (at the very least) a “he said” “the alleged victim and a witness said” thing.
I do not believe it is reasonable not to accord a higher probability of veracity to the party that has a corroborating witness. Your mileage evidently varies.
Seems to me that his daughter wanted to go to a party at 1:00 AM. Am I wrong in this? Second his daughter is 15. She needed a good whooping. She needs to be sent to a residential school for girls.

innocent till proven guilty
First, I strongly, strongly disagree about how Biblical the prosperity gospel, buy that’s theology. The person in question was John Stossel, who falsely and, I think, deliberately edited tape to say something exactly the opposite of what the minister said.
If you put your faith in a prosperity gospel you put your faith in a hunk of stinking baloney my pal.
The proper biblical reference point is Paul who knew either “how to abound” or “how to be in want” both equally for the sake of the Lord. Riches or poverty, neither are a sign in themselves of spiritual curses or blessing. Both if offered to the Lord can be blessed, and as long as the poor person does not steal he is actually in a more advantageous spot. God already has the wealth of the world; he doesn’t need a Christian’s check for a million dollars.
Without any facts your posturing position is horribly, horribly premature.
Surely it is possible to tell a child “Nonsense! No” without clobbering her with a shoe or condemning her to a reform school.
My experience is that those who seek to lecture me on my faith are usually insecure inbtheir own I know that my faith works because it works. Now, I’m done responding to you and I am not your “pal.”
I do not fit into your “usually.” I have seen faith work mightily from the poverty and frugality end. Asking God for a car and then insisting it be no less than a new Cadillac?!? When that’s for nothing more than show?!? You sound like, er, “forces” are mixed into your religious system that you have not perceived yet.
