But they say that this was “due to her parents being outside with her while she was writing it.” After she was separated from her parents, Alexandria produced a statement consistent with her original account. Dollar decried the allegations as part of the devil’s plan to “discredit” his ministry. He cited scripture as a way to defend himself from his daughters.”Malicious witnesses testify against me,” he said, reading from the Bible. “They accuse me of crimes I know nothing about … May those who rejoice in my discomfort be humiliated and disgraced.” Dollar has long courter controversy. This year he asked his followers to buy him a $65 million private jet. The prosperity gospel is simple: the more you give, the more you receive. Since this outrageous request, the finances of the televangelist’s 30,000-member church, World Changers Church International in College Park, Georgia, are under scrutiny.
Dollar denied a request for an interview, but a church spokesman sent a statement that read in part, “…all of the ministry’s revenues go to ‘charity‘ and/or ministry, with the exception of the salaries and benefits for some 400 employees ministry-wide.“ The controversial pastor also responded to his critics during a sermon. He also said that he has a private jet, but it’s 30 years old and currently out of service.
Dollar said, “If I want to believe God for a $65 million plane, you cannot stop me. You can’t stop me from dreaming. I’m going to dream until Jesus comes.” Ole Anthony, president of the Trinity Foundation in Texas, a church fundraising watchdog group, said, “In Creflo’s church, there is no accountability. He runs it like a fiefdom.” He also said that Dollar’s wealth is more objectionable because of how he obtains it.
