I wondered the same thing. Wikipedia suggests it may not.be his real name, though he contends that Creflo Dollar is indeed his birth name. The wiki article also states that his father's name is Creflo Dollar, Sr.

Oh please! Of course that is not his real name.

I don't understand what is going on over there and how Creflo is able to influence so many people to give up money. He will get the NEW jet. I guess the ministry takes advantage of folks' good old fashioned greed. Pay him and God will reward them/open up the windows pour me out a blessing type of thing.

I have a personal ax to grind so I am biased. My brother was a faithful member for many years. While he was paying his tithes and offerings, I was paying his rent and bills because he could not afford them after his contributions. I have never been so disgusted. We grew up in the same house; how in the world could he have fallen into that trap?

Why wouldn't it be his real name? Dollar is a surname of many people I know. And who would make up the name Creflo?

A tithe is ten percent of your income. That leaves 90 percent to pay bills and live off of. Somehow I don't think tithing was your brother's problem.

And it was reported weeks ago that he dropped the plans for the plane after all the negative publicity. Why is this thread still going on?

He hasn't raised $65 million but if his supporters still contribute towards the cause, he'll buy the jet--which is what I think is going to happen regardless.

You seem to always love to try and correct my comments. I guess I should go back to ignoring you.

I was obviously talking about however much has been raised thus far. $65 million was simply the number that has been discussed. But great catch. You got me!

That would be similar to where he's headed in the afterlife.

Make no mistake, the man will get the money for his new jet. He might have suspended the fundraising campaign publicly, but his supporters will still make it happen for him.
