Scandal brewing at Oral Roberts U.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

"God, told me.." to buy his wife a mercedes and make text messages to "underage males"? I must've missed those chapters in the Bible.

TULSA, Okla. - Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home."

Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal.

Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.

She is accused of dropping tens of thousands of dollars on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to friends of her children and sending scores of text messages on university-issued cell phones to people described in the lawsuit as "underage males."

2. Oral Robert used to wear a sports jacket that had

'The Big O" stitched on the back. I know people that saw him on passenger jets wearing this jacket.

3. Did Oral really have to name his son Dick?

7. Repressed, closeted repukes quite often cannot

withstand the incessant jangling of their shredded humanity and their suppressed little egos leave all sorts of clues, doing their best to force the owner to accept reality.

Well, it sounds good, anyway.
