Related: About this forumCreflo Dollar Still Wants A Gulfstream G650!
One Mile At A Time:In March I first wrote about Creflo Dollar, the mega-Church pastor and preacher of Prosperity Gospel, who was asking his members to help him fund a $65 million Gulfstream G650. The church even created a fundraising video, which at first I thought was a joke:
After much public outcry, the campaign was eventually halted, though that didnt stop the church from making all kinds of excuses. They explained that the church needed the Gulfstream G650 so it could carry a dozen people plus 100,000 pounds of food. Clearly they didnt do any research on the plane, because the Gulfstream G650 has virtually no cargo capacity.
Then in April, Creflo Dollar addressed the situation with his congregation, explaining that the devil didnt want him to have a Gulfstream (and he actually makes a frighteningly compelling argument):
Well, Creflo Dollar Ministries is at it again, and the only thing they apologize for is that the original video may have caused confusion.
