Atlanta-based, anti-gay mega-church Pastor Creflo Dollar appeared in the pulpit on Sunday after he was arrested on assault charges. The flamboyant televangelist was accused of choking, punching and using a shoe to beat his 15-year-old daughter.
Dollar denied the charges to his congregation at the World Changers Church. "I will say this emphatically. I should have never been arrested." Dollar was loudly cheered and received several standing ovations from his congregation.
The televangelist made headlines last summer after defending disgraced pastor Eddie Long. Dollar slammed church members who left Long after the anti-gay pastor settled five sexual coercion lawsuits brought by young men. Long also received a standing ovation from his church congregation after initially denying that he "ever" touched the young men.
Nothing to see here. Ignore the police report, the bruises and the eyewitness. Praise the Lord and pass the collection plate!

I'm a parent of a teenager, Charles, and even though my child is a boy, I couldn't even fathom putting my hands on him, much less choking and punching him as if it were a street fight. There is no condoning that, under any circumstances.

Charles: You've defended Creflo Dollar's behavior in several posts. Are you supporting him attacking gay people and defending Eddie Long? Or are you just defending the fact that he choked, punched and beat his daughter with a shoe?
BTW: As Osiris mentioned above, I'm also a father. What is it about being a father that allows you to punch, choke and use your fist (or a shoe) to be a teenage child? Please explain.

@formercogic...Like I have stated before I am not a fan or admirer of Creflo Dollar... All I a saying is that he was not trying to kill his daughter but put some sense in her... Now if she ends up like Laurence Fishbourne's daughter, then people will be saying where was he... can win to lose on this one...
