More allegations against the Roberts

I believe that Oral was dedicated to providing an educational function that would have surpassed any in the local area.   While we are stoning him lets not forget the he was told that through the City of Faith it would be given the solution to cancer.    

Apparently he was told wrong.

The provisions were placed in his hands to find a cure for a fatal illness that is the most feared by mortal persons.  Only those who watch a person die with cancer would understand.

The day hospital opened it was a thorn in the fingers of the other church that control the hospitals.  The word was that we did not need any more beds in Tulsa.  Since, we have added many more and are told there is still a shortage.

By his  faith he fulfilled his promises to his creator and partners to build the city of faith.  He set in motion the process to find a cure of cancer but the needs were rejected by the mortals..

The bottom line question would be who is the looser as we go on with the search to find a cure?.

I've always wondered why it is that a guy who believes in "faith healing" needed to build a hospital.  That just doesn't jive.

Stephanie Cantees sounds like a bumbling idiot.  I bet she's not the only un-qualified hire on ORU or ORM payroll.

The kid sure needs some counseling from somebody.

Possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of burglery tools, unauthorized use of credit card...these are serious charges.

Six different times before a judge on separate charges in 25 months...

That's a real shame.  I used to know his dad through business, and he was/is someone I looked up to as having pretty high morals and integrity.  

Sounds almost like this kid has the PK syndrome.

Oral Roberts President Resigns
3 hours ago

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — The embattled president of Oral Roberts University resigned from his position Friday, officials said.

Richard Roberts' resignation is effective immediately, according to a statement e-mailed from George Pearsons, chairman of the school's Board of Regents.

Roberts and the university have come under fire since a lawsuit was filed by three former professors accusing him, among other things, of misusing school funds to support a lavish lifestyle.

The evangelical school's regents will meet Monday and Tuesday to determine action in the search process for a new president, Pearsons said in the statement.

"Executive Regent Billy Joe Daugherty will continue to assume administrative responsibilities of the Office of the President, working together with Chancellor Oral Roberts, until the Regents meeting," the statement read.

Richard Roberts also expressed his feelings for the school in the letter, according to the statement.

"`I love ORU with all my heart,'" he said in the statement."` I love the students, faculty, staff and administration and I want to see God's best for all of them.'"

God should force a few more resignations....

I bet "God" sounded a lot like his defense lawyer.

[Conan71]

Nah, I think God has a drawl which sounds a lot like Gary Richardson.

[Johnboy976]

I'll tell you this much, a lot of alumni I've talked to are happy to see Roberts leave and Green take control.

Or perhaps with the voice of that guy who does those voiceovers in those movie trailers (I think Don LaFontaine is his name).

By the way, ever notice that whenever Jesus is portayed in most movies, he comes off as some Shakespearean type from London or somewhere like that?

Hmmm, I never really noticed that.  I always thought Jesus looked a little Jewish to me.

Well, it always seems that a either a British actor or a Broadway-trained actor plays Jesus, and he always has this formal theatrical bearing to him in every scene. Why not try to give Jesus a new spin (as a friend of mine has suggested), such as a more streetwise bearing to him (because nobody knew the mean streets of Nazareth and Bethlehem better than Jesus), and maybe even a Brooklyn accent. Or perhaps a blue-collar edge (he was a carpenter after all). Because the whole British/Broadway Jesus thing has just been overdone.

Same friend of mine does a routine about the New York Jesus. Hilarious regardless if one is religious or not.
