Yep, that is what a California businessman is saying according to AJC: A California businessman sued the Rev. Creflo Dollar and his business partners, including his son Jeremy Dollar, today, saying Dollar stole a business idea they developed together to text devotional messages to followers for $4.99 a month. Dollar reneged on the deal, took the trade secrets and started the business “Word on the Go,” this is making $50 million a year, the suit by Devone Lawson alleges. Dollar upped the monthly fee to $5.99 monthly, said James Evangelista, Lawson’s Atlanta attorney. The suit, filed in Los Angeles County, claims breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, interference and misappropriation of trade secrets. Evangelista said, “Apparently, the Rev. Dollar and the Dollar Ministries do not practice what they preach, unless the prosperity gospel they preach justifies fraud and theft in the attainment of material wealth.” First of all, who the hell is paying for this? You are paying somebody to send you verses from the bible that you can get for free?? Interesting– the mind is a terrible thing waste. Lastly, isn’t it sinful to directly profit off of the testimony of the Lord? Never mind, it happens all day everyday in this country– Main reason I don’t go to church today, I refuse to line the pockets of people who most definitely will bust hell wide open. That is all.

  • Its funny how its ok 4 musicians,sports personalities & other people 2 have money but its a sin for the man of GOD to have money,but if u look @ the bible all this this were said that people who don't believe wil hate,insult & accuse them of all the wrong doings.but its ok we still Love & respect this Man of GOD.Thank u Paster Dollar 4 coming 2 Africa u showed us Love.
    • It's not about if they earn money or not. It's about what God stands for and he who represents God stands for. In the bible, it says that the word should be given free, it say's it in the book of Romans. So I think the main point here, is that so called, "Men of God" or, "Representative's of God", should not take money for themselves. At the expense of pimping out the holy scriptures.

  • Greedy preachers put all the emphasis on one Old Testament law, the tithe law, while ignoring over six hundred others. According to the book of Deuteronomy,adulterous people are to be stoned to death along with rebellious and disobedient children that have brought same to their parents. That's more than half the population if you include the fact that Jesus said "to look with lust is the same as adultery because it is adultery of the heart". I would like Copeland, Creflo Dollar and the others prosperity preachers to answer this question: Why aren't you teaching about all the other six hundred and something Old Testament Mosaic Covenant Laws, since you want to hang just the tithe one. Why not all? Deut. 27:26 said you must keep all of the laws in full to avoid God's curse. Tithing was not gold or silver but food to feed the poor, widows Levite Priest and orphans not to buy jet planes and mansions, Deut.14:22
    If people started checking every statement in your bible and not just one verse out of context you would not be tricked out of money and be able to pay your bills. This would help the economy and the job market. The Bible also said to owe no man nothing. If you owe bills but instead of paying past due bills you are letting yourselves be manipulated then you are stealing from your Creditors to tithe. I don't think that God is honored by robbing the people you borrowed goods from to try to pay (bribe) God for a blessing. God will answer your cry for free! It is called the Grace (undeserved favor) and it is for everyone of your daily needs! Get wisdom and understanding of Gods word. Redeemed blood bought people cannot be cursed. Gal 3:13 Col.2:14 The blood of Jesus fulfilled every law for you and paid in full all of your debts. His Grace is Amazing Grace. You are free to voluntarily give but if you don't Jesus paid your fines and took your curse on the tree of Calvary!

    What Dollar and these others is doing is clearly to referred in scripture.









    Its called Making Merchandise Out Of The Gospel.

    As always there are a great many of uneducated so called "Believers" who blindly defend this carnal behavior.



    How can these practices be reconciled with "Freely you have recieved...So freely give" ?



    Its a good thing scripture tell us not to take a brother to law because God would have one Hell of a plagarization suit on these scammers.

  • Princess THEOPATRA the CA business man did give his name.

    Read the story, he presented this idea in early 2005. Pastor Price was the first to do inspirational text on tv. This CA guy did it for them too. Please read before you comment please.
  • God gave everyone free will but you yourself determine if you will serve GOD or that preacher man/woman. The bible provides you with the knowledge of how to live, and if you loose your house or anything for that matter it's not because you gave your money to the church.
  • If you people would quit giving your money to these fraudulent preachers you might be able to pay your bills.
    I have 3 preachers that live next to me and they have churches in the hood. They take the money from the congregation that can barely pay their bills and use it to buy million dollar plus homes far far away from their congregation.
    One has 2 Mercedes, another has a Mercedes and a Jaguar and the other a Mercedes and a Lincoln Town Car.
    One of them was even asking for money so he could buy a plane.
    Then on top of that they use the people from the church to mow their lawns and do maintenance on their homes.
    I think it is funny that in my town the mayor and her husband who is a doctor live in the hood around their people, but the reverends live miles away next to me in a gated neighborhood far away from the people who pay for their lifestyles and gold Rolexes.
    Creflo, T.D. Jakes and all the rest of them are nothing but criminals, and that includes Joel Osteen and the white ones also.
    By the way a TITHE is not a TENTH like they would like you to believe.
    Quit getting used by people.
    • AngusC you made my point better than I did. Thanks.Oh by the way, add another to the list, "Dr. Juanita Bynum" she got her degree from the Truth Bible College.
  • Illmatic what are you saying man?

    "The only other thing that pisses me off are these preaches that ordain themselves Doctors from their made up Universities."
    Dude this preacher didnt even give himself the doctor title he was given an honorary degree by Oral Roberts University....hmmm just shows me you don't know what the hell you talking about

    And there are churches who help their members out bredda, tithes are in the bible & if people want to pay for a daily sermon text message let them do them.

    Free yourself from ignorance bredrin

    • Ignorance is believing in fairy tales. And when I say preachers I meant those like Jerry Farewell,Pastor Manning, I didn't mean Dollar. Evander Holyfield tithes 10% of his income that's millions beyond millions of dollars where does it go? Into Dollars pockets while Holyfields home gets foreclosed. Do your research Rasta.
  • Even Crazy Preachers need their paper by any means necessary. Gotta get paid.
  • This chicken businessman [too scared to give his name] is full of jealousy. This is slander against someone who is proof of everything he preaches. There are many minister who text their sermons via the internet...long time before Dollars started. Go to church or read the word & wise up...stop being a "Hater."
    • I forget that part in the bible where you can charge people for receiving daily sermons.Where in the bible does it say that? I think you're the one that needs to wake, think for your self, become a freethinker, free yourself from the religious shackles.
  • This is slander by hear-say and jealousy. This CA businesssman (scared to give his name) is late. There are many ministers texting their sermons, and not going to church only tells that he has no knowledge of God's word. Dollar is proof of everything he preaches
  • Yes he is, nobody pisses me off more than these Pastor Charlatans.I mean the guy has Dollar in his name he's telling you I want your money. Example "http://tinyurl.com/mbda2c".How you gonna tell people to tithe 10% of their pay and then when their house gets foreclosed the church is nowhere to be found. The only other thing that pisses me off are these preaches that ordain themselves Doctors from their made up Universities. It is such a sham. Wake up people.
    • I agree 100 percent...These mfs is crooks...How you gon text somebody bible verses too much.
