Mega Church Pastor Creflo Dollar took the controversy surrounding his arrest for attacking his teenage daughter straight to the pulpit, telling his congregation on Sunday that he should never have been arrested...
Pastor Creflo Dollar was arrested on Friday for simple battery after his 15-year-old daughter called 911 and told police Dollar punched, choked and hit her with a shoe. Her 19 year old sister corroborated the report [click here if you missed that].
On Sunday Creflo explained the situation to his faithful followers,
"I want you all to hear personally from me that all is well in the Dollar household."
"I will say this emphatically: I should have never been arrested."
"The truth is that a family conversation with our youngest daughter got emotional, and emotions got involved and things escalated from there."
"The truth is she was not choked, she was not punched. There were not any scratches on her neck."
"But the only thing on her neck was a prior skin abrasion from eczema. Anything else is exaggeration and sensationalism."
"Raising children in our culture of disrespect is a challenge. Like all of us who are parents [know], there are times when discipline and training our kids can become pretty intense."
