HIS WORDS: Creflo Dollar Releases STATEMENT Regarding Alleged Assault & Arrest

Pastor Creflo Dollar released a statement about his arrest earlier today regarding his alleged assault on his 15-year-old daughter. Read it inside....

We told you earlier about the arrest of Creflo Dollar, Jr., the pastor of World Changers Church in College Park (outside of Atlanta). Now the leader is speaking out. He released a statement through his rep saying,

As a father I love my children and I always have their best interest at heart at all times, and I would never use my hand to ever cause bodily harm to my children. The facts in this case will be handled privately to further protect my children.  My family thanks you for your prayers and continued support.

His lawyer, Nikki G. Bonner, added, "My client will make no further comments as this is an ongoing criminal matter."

And there you have it.

WANT YOUR OWN AVATAR? GET IT HERE.

I was outraged beyond

I was outraged beyond understanding. He said to his congregation... "All is well in the Dollar family" Just the day before, his daughter called 911 to report him! How can it change everything in just a day? Remember she said in the statement to the cops that this was not the first time it happened. He is clearly trying to save his name and his ministry. That is what it is. Okay he has succeeded in winning back his congregation. But what now? How are they all going to live in the same house together? He is only out on bail. What happens when the case comes up? No one can lie to the Courts. Anyway it has been a terrible letdown at least for me. Creflo for me was like God speaking to me through another human being. I have watched and listened to this great man's messages for over ten years on television. In my opinion he is the greatest follower of the Holy Spirit in today's evangelistic world. I still have not gone over the shock. Creflo was guided by the Holy Spirit even when he went to the bathroom. How did the Devil penetrate his faith armor which he proudly proclaimed to the world day in and day out? The issue is not whether he tried to choke her or spank her. This happens everyday in all families in today's crazy world. But I will not agree that it should happen to Creflo and his dear family. He is the role model of a perfect parent and as expected Lauren should be the role model for every teenager. I'm sure he has taught the Word more to his children than to his congregation! I have seen him testify again and again in his sermons how he forgave those senseless people who mistreated him in super markets, parking lots and elsewhere. He was so proud of his daughter Lauren. I remember years ago when she was just a four year old girl she went around telling everyone "Money coming to me right now" In those days he was doing the series on the 'Anointing' How marvelously he explained the meaning of that pet scripture of his..."Call all those things that be not as though they were" Clearly his children are not the girls you would normally expect to be daughters of Rev. Creflo Dollar. This is the plain and simple truth. They have been rebelling against their father at least for a time. Now the matter is under investigation. It does not make any difference to me whether Creflo tried to physically harm his daughter Lauren. But he is answerable to the people who followed him daily on television. You cannot preach meekness, long suffering, temperance and more to the world and have such a grim situation at your own home. Creflo Dollar should step down as pastor of the World Changers International Church until the matter is resolved. Only a public statement later from his whole family with Taffi and their daughters that all is well can heal our hurt feelings. Creflo was a hero to me and I don't know how to go about my daily life knowing what he and his family is going through right now.. I do not know what to believe.

I wonder what his friend

I wonder what his friend "Eddie Long" has to say about this situation. Shady ministers: Your rein is quickly coming to an end!

I think the oldest daughter

I think the oldest daughter put her up to calling the police because, on the tape, you can hear the younger sister verifying information she was giving to the police. What really surprised me is that when the police asked her for her father's date of birth she did not know. I can't imagine not knowing my parents birth dates! just sayin.

Its so funny how some can comment on something that isnt taking place in their home. We dont know how it got to this point. We just hear a story or gossip and run. THESE TEENAGERS ARE OUT OF CONTROL, PERIOD! Back in the day, grandma,grandpa,uncle,aunt,older cousins could get in your behind with no problem now, its different. The law has shown CHILDREN that if they get hollered at a certain way, its ABUSE!! GIRL, DONT RUN THE WORLD, WOMAN DO!! All girls need a strong male in their lives. I dont approve abusing someone but i do approve keeping a children respectable and honest. Like someone else wrote, they could have been at odds for some time now. Or maybe she thought she would try her luck, and failed!! Some teens think because their friend can do it, then they can as well. This is just one case.

I am shocked about Creflo's

I am shocked about Creflo's well scripted open confession to his congregation . And the absolute support they gave him. Cheering him on. When he confessed , his body language spoke in volumnes.otherwise . He made himself the victim. Red tie and all , comin from love. "All is well in the Dollar household" All except you call both of your daughters a liar . That you not choke fer from behind, choked her for 5 seconds. pushed her to the table to push her to bend over. She pushed you off of her , you threw her to the ground and punched her? Took of you shoe and smacker her up and down with it? Was that not true Cref? Cause if it is that god your worshipping may be the devil himself.

Why are so many black people

Why are so many black people defending this child abuser? Is violence encouraged in black homes? No wonder so many blacks are in prison for violent crimes. That's where you belong. They should put you in max security 20 to each cell and let you pick each other off for food. Seems that black children are taught violence by their parents. What a sick and depraved culture.

Here's the problem-A Daddy

Here's the problem-A Daddy brutally beats his daughter and claims he does it because he loves her. The young woman then grows up to believe her husband beats her because he loves her. The same people advocating violence in the name of the church often tend to be the same ones who might call this same women stupid for staying in violent relationships. It's time to learn to deal with tough situations in was that are outside of violence. When one does so one is doing nothing more than teaching that child to be violent; and then have the nerve to wonder where they get violent tendencies from.

I had to wax my daughter up when she was fifteen. Now that she has graduated from St. John's Univesity of New York this pas mother's day, she indicated to me that she was glad I rasied her the way I did. I gave her morals. respect. She said I taught her to get respect I have to respect myself. That was the best gift she could have given me. Like I told her back then, it is only one Queen in this house and that is me, so if you want to raise your fist at me, you can leave and I meant it. It is a thin line between discipline and abuse.

Anyone under my roof is open

Anyone under my roof is open to an ass whipping at any time if they ass get out of line. I would not except this kind of behavior from anyone that I gave life to. We have gotten so far away from black men being fathers that for one to discipline his child throws us off. I don't believe in child abuse, but if you put your hands on me like you are grown, you will pull back a nub. Plan and simple.... I do agree his wife should have handled the problem, but at the time he was the authoritative adult and she should have done as he said. We give these children too many passes and that is why we have a society of youth in such disarray. If the police had asked her to do something and she reacted in that manner, they would have done the same thing. Maybe even worse!! Lets stop treating these teenagers like babies and teach them how to be productive citizens in America. No ass whooping pass from me. She deserved it and I bet she thinks long and hard before she puts her hands on another adult.

I am convinced that whatever

I am convinced that whatever was going on with this particular teenage girl was going on before they're fateful encounter. She didn't just all of a sudden wake up and decide to defy her father's stance overnight, but this is behavior that had been building up for awhile in his absence. Obviously she was already going to parties for her to have convinced herself that she would be able to attend this particular one into the wee hours of the morning even though dad was there at the house. I just think her father happened to be at home on this day when his family was use to him traveling and being away from home all the time. For her to not be willing to accept her fathers authority when he said "NO" to me shows she had a secret teenage life he knew nothing about (Boyfriend waiting) highly likely... I mean if she missed that party what's the Big Deal? You just try to catch the next party on the DL,right? Creflo Dollars reaction to his daughters defiance is the reason a father shouldn't physically discipline his female child, because in his fit of rage he went to far and what if no one had been there to stop him, just how much further would he have gone?? I remember another incident from my childhood in reference to this story, but this one involved a good friend of mine and I hope she doesn't read this Blog entry, because she would know it's about her so I won't name, names. We were also 15 years old and she came to school that morning just like she had come the day before, but on this day she had a thick reddish,purple ring around her neck and clearly two black eyes and she walked up to me to speak; she was smiling talking to me like she normally would have, but my smile instantly turned to a look of confusion,because something was off about her appearance. We are both light skin complected so at first I thought she had come to school with smeared black eyeliner on maybe from the night before rushing to school, but as my eyes looked her over & wondered down to her neck I knew something was terribly wrong. I looked into her eyes and I said softly, who choked you??? and she answered nonchalantly My Father! I was quietly shaking my head back & forth in disbelief as I uttered aloud... What happened,what did you do and how could he do that to you??? Asking all these questions at once! At the time she did answer me, but I couldn't hear the answers, because none of them would have demanded such a reaction from a loving parent. There was absolutely no reason on earth for a father to attack his only daughter that way! I cried for her in school silently, but what I remember most is how people acted like they didn't even see the noticeable marks, the teachers didn't ask her any questions and they NEVER reported it to authorities. We never spoke about it again and her dad also never put his hands on her again either later realizing what he had done....I said all that to say this, No man should ever hit his daughter some parents cross the line and go to far becoming an abuser and some already are abusive!

I too wondered if this was a fit of rage brought on by an overwhelming schedule leading up to acting in the heat of the moment. After seeing him today it seems like he's a man who can learn from his mistakes although I am not all that sure he is a man able to admit to those mistakes. Here's what I would like to see- 1. His daughter understanding that sometimes parents say no and when that happens she needs to respect it even if she doesn't like it. 2. Spectators cease using the church as an excuse to perpetuate violence. Isn't it suppose to over the exact opposite- love, understanding and redemption? 3. Father learning from his mistakes and using this as a bully pulpit to speak out against violence.

All that is based on IF he did it. We do live under a system where an individual is innocent until proven guilty. As of now, he is innocent until a verdict indicates otherwise. At the end of the day it's doubtful that is will go to court. With the resources he has available it will likely be dismissed.
