Tales From The Religious Reich

How ironic is it that Oral Roberts' son is named Dick? But wait, things change radically when one is doing the Lord's Work:

An ORU student repairing [the laptop of Stephanie Cantese, Richard Roberts’ sister-in-law] discovered the document and later provided a copy to one of the professors.
It details dozens of alleged instances of misconduct. Among them:
* A longtime maintenance employee was fired so that an underage male friend of Mrs. Roberts could have his position.
* Mrs. Roberts — who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU’s “first lady” on the university’s [sic] Web site — frequently had cell-phone bills of more than $800 per month, with hundreds of text messages sent between 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. to “underage males who had been provided phones at university expense.”
The university jet was used to take one daughter and several friends on a senior trip to Orlando, Fla., and the Bahamas. The $29,411 trip was billed to the ministry as an “evangelistic function of the president.”
Mrs. Roberts spent more than $39,000 at one Chico’s clothing store alone in less than a year, and had other accounts in Texas and California. She also repeatedly said, “As long as I wear it once on TV, we can charge it off.” (Matthew 6:5) The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.
* University and ministry employees are regularly summoned to the Roberts’ home to do the daughters’ homework.

There once was a man named Oral.....whose son is about to go down....
