    Guardian:

    The resolution, obtained late Tuesday by The Associated Press, states that the faculty approved the motion ``without regard to the outcome of the current lawsuit against the university'' and plans to distribute the document to the school's Board of Regents and the faculty assembly at an upcoming meeting.

      Last week, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley announced a Senate investigation into whether six televangelists violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by living lavishly on the backs of small donors.

      The Robertses were not among the six. But those targeted include three members of the school's Board of Regents: Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn.

      On personal basis got ourselves into a heap of trouble, being positive but critical of how the University was being run by Richard the son of Oral Roberts. That was back in the year 2000.

      We walked the campus, which for the era it was built, was quite remarkable. However the upkeep was not as good as it was some twenty years before when we had first visited the University. Oral himself ran a tight ship. The grounds years ago were then immaculate.

      It seems very clear his son Richard has not been this manner of walk.

      Oral Roberts was noted to say:

      ' We Neither touched the Gold nor the Glory'!

        Ha!!! Ha ha ha ha !!

        I am literally rolling on the floor under my chair!! Ha!!!

        What a disgusting display of hubris and how wonderful that it happened again in Oral Roberts family. I will never forget Oral's disgusting begging for money sayint that "God will take me home" if he didn't get $8 Million dollars. And now we see that the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

        How can people still continue to give money to these charlatans?

        Local churches need that money. Not some mega church or guy on TV, they don't need it. At a local church, you can actually watch your money grow within the community and see where it goes. In a corporation...church, the money always goes into their pockets.

        And homosexuality is condemnable by their standards, but robbing poor elderly people must be allright by God...wait!! The ten commandments....wasn't one of them thou shalt not....STEAL!!

        Ha! Ho he hee heeeee!

        See you in Hell hypocrite!

          Thee speaks of thyself. Your comment is an open

          Until you achieve as much as ORU achieved, suggest you hide you face.
