frosbel: Sometimes I wonder how I would have coped if I had a daughter.

I only have sons, and they dare not cross the boundary.

However I never go so far to cause them harm of injury, agreed that this is a step too far.

Often, all I need do is 'bark' with my African male voice and they are in order.

thehomer:

That is what you think. Maybe you actually brought them up properly. In that case, congratulate yourself.
One thing you need to realize is that beating them up especially by boxing them wouldn't really help you. Contrary to what many people think, boxing teenagers as punishment isn't such a good idea. The fact that physical pain may have worked when they were 5 doesn't mean it will work when they're 15.

dayokanu: I fully support Creflo Dollar in this

a15yr old girl going for a party at 1am?

She would be on the next flight to Nigeria. And Not Lagos, Abuja or Ibadan but rural Nigeria in a boarding school to learn common sense

frosbel:

Indeed Physical pain is the not the answer , I never said it was.

Lenny5000:

What is wrong with you people? How is choking your child disciplining her? Would you choke your own child? When ever it has to do with somebody we like we tend to defend them as if they are not humans that are not above mistakes... They didn't say he beat her or grounded her they said he tries to choke her... A mere child of 15... A girl for that matter. Now tell me what crime a 15yrs old child would commit in your sight that is worthy of chocking?

Not surprised if you're also an Oyedepo supporter

Were you there? Police everywhere in the world always have a way of spicing up stories to make themselves look good.

This is a simple act of corporal punishment from a dad to a daughter who refused his instruction not to attend a night party after a string of consistently poor grades in school.

If the girl feels she is now all grown to do what she wants, then she should leave the comfort of his house and hit the streets, pay her own bills, send herself to college and face life.

That is why America is a den of drug users, social misfits and crazed children who shoot their own school mates.

My children have been trained to obey parental instruction, just the way I was trained to obey parental instructions. Instructions are not meant to be liked. They are for guidance, just the way we have rules and regulations and laws.

Creflo Dollar has a right to correct his child with corporal punishment (I don't know about the choking aspect though; depends on what a "chokehold" is defined as). And this has nothing to do with his being a church minister. Order in a home is the father's duty. Plain and simple.

stagger:

Another fool talking. So if your 15-year old daughter who has been doing poorly in school decides to go to a party at that unholy hour of the night, you will just let it pass as if everything is all right?

I am not sure you are a father, because no sane father will allow such riotous behaviour in his household.

EVEN IF SHE IS DOING WELL IN SCHOOL SHE DARE NOT THINK OF IT.

Why are you employing Grammar Nazi tactics? Are you really focusing on a simple typographical error?



Why not focus on the point of my argument?

frosbel: Some random comments from American Parents :

No 15 year old needs to be trying to attend a party period, let alone at 1am! I'm glad he put his foot down and did not allow her to go. Sounds like it was a typical child/parent fight and does not seem like abuse at all, will keep him and his family in prayer.

If my 15 year old daughter didn't behave they would have "superficial injuries" too. I don't believe in beating a child, but I will not spare the rod. If my kid disgarees they can hit the road. In my house my children will follow my rules or go somewhere else.

Plex755
A party, 1 o'clock in the moring, 15 year old female and a Father who said and meant NO! I'm not a " Dollar" follower nor fan. I am a parent who believes you raise your own children or allow them to get caught up in the system and end up in the grave. It's call Corporal punishment or child abuse these days, but my parents called it saving you from your self cause you're getting your butt whipped.

KzTer
I agree with Plex755...I'm not a fan of his, but as a parent, I understand the emotions that come along with parenting teenagers and when I say "NO, you are NOT going", that's the end of it. There's no more conversation and at 1 am, that thought shouldn't never even crossed your mind. I don't condone "getting physical" with your kid, but I understand that they can drive you too it, especially when they are 15 years old and obviously knows more than anyone else on the planet...esp their parents (dripping with sarcasm).

Maybe if this supposed man of God had spent more time being a good father and becoming a good man, he wouldn't have gotten into a physical altercation with a 15 year old girl. I guess thecall of God is too important for silly stuff like family.

If these allegations are true, I hope the Reverend gets the help he needs to discipline his daughter for sure, but in a more effective way. Abuse does not foster discipline it only undermines respect builds resentment and such abusive patterns get passed down from generation to generation.

"Lord knows" is just an expression.


If you are from Nigeria, you have no right or moral ground to call the American society "decadent". How many 15 year old girls get buggered by old men in Nigeria without ever reaching the police? How many young girls get "Oyedepo-slapped"? What about the corruption? What about child labour in Nigeria?


I live in the West (UK). There are families that dont beat their children and yet the children turn out good. Many upperclass children are rigidly taught manners both at private schools and at home. I am not saying the UK is perfect (as there are many juvenile delinquents), what I am saying is that, it is the family that fully affects the child.

At 16, I was moving with friends that smoked weed. I never one day smoked because of my upbringing!

logicboy: LMAO.


Frosbel, why are you complaining. Doesnt the bible teach you christians to obey the law?

This is good news.

Idealkocep: As a man of God, He should have resorted to praying to God for her duaghter to be liberated from her wayward ways instead of physical asault. Thats what you get when the law gives children overbloated right as obtained in the western world. How can 15-year old girl think of going to party by 1:00am?,is this another dejavu.............?

OilSubsidy: If na church member e happen to now, 'god of man' will say 'Prayer is the key'. Why then result to 'choking is the key'

You are lucky, you would have ended up in rehab. Many of the people who hanged out with weed smokers in my neighbourhood are now touts, agberos and nuisance to the society.

This has everything to do with the church. He is a hypocrite and a child abuser but he runs a multi-million dollar chruch.

We should kick his balls for destroying the lives of many black folk
