Wouldn't you be proud to send your kid to Oral Roberts University?

Question

I definitely would. The president and his wife, Richard and Lindsay, are just the best party hosts in the south! If you are cool, they might even take you on vacation with them or buy you gifts! They drive nice cars, have nice cell phones and stay in touch by text message (LOL). They have some great parties at their campus and they rock on like a good Christians should. They are true God warriors! I would be flattered to have my kid learn in this outstanding Christian environment.

Answer 1

It is very clear to me these accusers are NOT hearing from God because:

They are not following the scriptures on how a mature christian is to handle situations if they find someone in error.

They are sueing which is another thing against the scripture guidelines.

They gave the documents they found to the Board of Regents and at that point it was the duty of the Board to handle any misconduct if they found it to be true.

I find the Roberts sincere...

I do not know them personally but have a friend that has worked at ORU for years. Also know a couple that attended college and graduated there. Have several friends whose children attend there.

All have expressed the up most respect for Richard and Lindsey Roberts.

My friend that works there says that what she appreciated the most was how they interacted with the kids. They make a point to greet the kids on a regular basis just walking around the campus and talk to the kids.

As an employee she and her husband speak very highly of them and many of the staff.

Oral, Evelyn, Richard, & Lindsey Roberts have done more good in all their years of service to help humanity.

Answer 2

No I wouldn't. I would send my children to the university of their choice. And I know that this university would not even be in the running. From what I am reading here, these are not the values I have instilled in my children. I see no humility, love, compassion,etc. I would hope that my kids would go to a university that takes their studies a lot more seriously than parties. I would hope that their focus isn't on what the Jones' have and they don't. I would think my children would prefer to take vacations with their family instead of others just because of their money. We all know that studying takes a lot of time and therefore the little time they would have to relax with would be better spent solidifying their own family bonds.

Answer 3

No! I actually care about my child's future, so I'd rather her go to a *real* college where she can get a *real* degree that means something in the job market, not a cult compound where she'd get, at best, an inferior one.

I feel sorry for these people stuck in Christian colleges. They graduate thinking they have worthwhile degrees and that they'll get a good job. The reality is, most Christian schools have no accreditation and poor academics, and therefore do not produce knowledgeable graduates.

Answer 4

No. I don't know much about them, but I know he teaches that Christ on the Cross was defeat. He fails to teach that the Cross of Christ is actually a victory over sin and death. And I don't think $$$ and social status are what Christians should aim for.

Answer 5

Oral stated "the devil is not going to steal ORU."

Someone needs to tell poor Oral he best quit worrying about the "devil" so he'll have time to keep a closer eye on his son.

Answer 6

They sound like they are too friendly with the world. I'd rather my kids go to Hyles Anderson College in Hammond, Ind.

Answer 7

Oral and University are not two words I would like to think of in relation to my daughter.

Answer 8

Would have to be better than Chapman U in Southern California.

Answer 9

I would be just as proud to watch him simply graduate high school! & let him pick the collage he wanted to go to!

Answer 10

Empty headed drool.
