Classmate and ORU Homie!!!!!!

CALL ME!

What is it they say about "cold days in..."

Two down, seven to go.

Hugh, 3rd of Five, Hooville, VA (12/11/2007 1:20:59 AM)

What is it they say about "cold days in..."

Two down, seven to go, including a Chairman who thinks he was put there "by God to do whatever Richard Roberts wants."

"Resistance is not futile"

Hugh, 3rd of Five, Hooville, VA (12/11/2007 1:37:26 AM)

Interesting "decision-making" afoot here too. Just how is it that "Dr" (cough, wheez -- he's among those with the fake ORU doctorates) Hinn was "named" regent emeritus? And who promoted/upgraded Pearson.

Was it the BoRegents themselves - the "business" end of the group - who did the deeds? As a whole, or was this GP's fiat?

More mysteries -- but sop for oru bor.

Souls A Fire is the only thing worth listening to at ORU.

.

And even then, for the sound alone, not the lyrical content.

not an insider..., (12/11/2007 1:54:43 AM)

maybe these changes are part of green's stipulations for the 70 mil, or they could just be clearing 2 seats for the 2 seats requested by green. whatever the reason they are stepping down it can only be seen as a good thing for the school.

let's hope the following business regents follow suit shortly...

Kenneth Copeland

Jesse Duplantis

Charles Green

John Hagee

Marilyn Hickey

Myles Munroe

George Pearsons

Jerry Savelle

I.V. Hilliard

Tin Man, Oz (12/11/2007 2:18:16 AM)

Right on Am....

And about your list, there's only one person on it who doesn't (that I know of) have a "fake" doctorate from Richard Roberts on his mantle. (that'd be George Pearsons -- who apparently doesn't yet have an undergraduate degree, let alone one of the honorary doctorates)

I should note though that I've yet to figure out how I.V. Hilliard received the "Dr." title he uses on his web site. (When it's unspecified like this, and its one of RR's cronies, chances are high that its an ORU "fake" doctorate)

Tin Man, Oz (12/11/2007 2:22:10 AM)

Perhaps the only "blessing" to come from this ice storm is that we don't have the "g-man" poster -- aka "George" (as in "George Paul?") coming on to say that this story is yet another example of TW bias..... or that everything is wonderful now at ORU and we should "trust" George Pearsons..... (the man who point blank last May said he was put in his postion "by God to do whatever Richard Roberts wanted.)

May your power come back on quick George. We can't wait to learn your spin on this one too.

DJ, Salem, Indiana (12/11/2007 2:59:50 AM)

WOW!!! I do believe the as earth moved and a paradigm shift is in the making. I was wondering how "the call for transparency" was going to shake out. Senator Grassley isn't asking for anything that shouldn't already be "transparent". Time for leaders with true academic credentials and business discipline. I know there's an ice storm, but Mr. Green, TW, and anyone behind the scences--"keep the heat on"! ORU can only thrive in "the light of day".

Bus Company, (12/11/2007 3:21:41 AM)

He operates a bus company. Nice to see some of the lower class represented on the board.

MEANINGLESS SHUFFLE

AN ILLUSION OF CHANGE

-------------------------

This is a meaningless shuffle done to give an illusion of change, without change.

Oral and Richard still have the power.

(And will keep it.)

The audigtor's report is being kept top secret. ( and for GOOD reason. It stinks)

Pearsons, the RR syphantic lickspittle, is still the"chairman" of the BOR.

-------------------------------------

"I am put here by God to do what RR wants."

-------------------------------------

The same gang of enablers and ask-no questions sycophants -- Ellsworth, who holds the moneybags -- are still there cooking the books.

-------------------

Oral and Richard with veto power are still there -- and THAT will not change.

--------------------------

So what future does a "new" ORU have with the same gang, the same powers with the Roberts, the same practices -- all covered by a blanket of secrecy, as with the report?

------------------------------------------

MR. GREEN -- TAKE YOUR MONEY AND RUN FROM THIS DEN OF PICKPOCKETS

Alan give it up. You're really starting to sound even more stupid than before. I don't like your new name, either.

Alan Pike, (12/11/2007 4:49:03 AM)

Thank you #11

for the encouragement!

Must be hitting home.

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Alan Pike, (12/11/2007 5:04:09 AM)

Re my post 13.

My encouragement -- and the support to jump-start the day -- came from post 12-- not 11.

pass the coffee.

Elizabeth Conley, Norfolk (12/11/2007 5:08:23 AM)

This shift on the board of regents is probably a good thing.

It would be more impressive if the board became transparent, instead of just punitive toward members getting bad press. Still, this is a sign that they are aware of limits to what is acceptable. Given their track record, this is a paradigm change.

Alan Pike, (12/11/2007 5:18:58 AM)

Eliz. 15

Ever the optimist.

I wouldn't declare the patient whole, healed and changed just yet.

Let's see what they do about releasing that report and dealing with the Roberts veto powers before we dance in the streets.

Allan #11, (12/11/2007 5:24:47 AM)

You think too highly of yourself. Actually, I agree with you. Green needs to take his money with him.

honestly, tulsa (12/11/2007 5:30:09 AM)

As Long as Benny Hinn is still represented in any way on the BOR, ORU will be seen as a joke. Non voting members of a board still have influence. This is a step in the right direction ... but stinks of resistance to change.

Alan Pike, (12/11/2007 5:43:59 AM)

ORU is widely seen as a joke, and not just because of the right-reverend Dr. Benedictus Hinn.

-- because of a BOR under the effective veto power of the "don" and his family.

-- because it's chairman is chairman only because he swore undying loyalty to the Roberts clan

-- because they continue the cover-up of that report. ( It's clear why they would)

What they permitted is beyond the pale.

--because they keep the same RR and LR enablers where they were --Ellsworth and his his do-anything-Richard-wants minions..

The BOR is a joke.

Which makes ORU a joke.

CLEAN-UP or COVER- UP?

Do you have to ask?

Alan Pike, (12/11/2007 5:51:42 AM)

# 17 MO alum.

It's Alan, not Allen.

And a good morning to you.

At least we agree Mr. Green should take his money and run for the nearest exit.

DJ, Salem, Indiana (12/11/2007 6:08:11 AM)

In earlier posts there was some discussion about BOR's educational credentials, And it prompted me to do some checking of my own -- this is probably not news to most -- it was just the realization of how far all this mess reaches. Several are running their own "schools of ministry", "Bible institutes", even "seminaries" -- roping people in with the "Dr." in front of their name. It is so wrong -- the people are so thirsty for the Word (Psalm 42) -- this deception is lining the "Dr.'s" pockets and draining the bank accounts of the workin' folks. Expensive education. What a web! By the way, my neightbor wants to be the next Joyce Meyers -- I fell out of my chair.

WATCHING, TULSA (12/11/2007 6:22:54 AM)

WHAT'S EVERYONE'S OPINION ON JOYCE MEYER WHO POSTED ALL OF HER FINANCIAL'S ON HER WEBSITE?

Interested, tulsa (12/11/2007 6:32:25 AM)

#22. I think that because she is being so open, she probably doesn't have anything to hide. Granted, the government doesn't have the right to put their nose in religious organizations, however, because of RR and LR (and those who have gone before them, i.e. Bakers), the fact that she put everything out there lends to her character and credibility in my humble opinion.

~sojourner, Adair (12/11/2007 6:50:13 AM)

Joyce Meyer needs to get the garbage out...

_________

Question from the balcony: Could someone please explain to me what an "honorary" doctorate degree is in the first place, please? Does it have anything to do with acadamia, do they just write a dissertation, or what? How do they qualify for the degree? If it's a PhD (since they become "Dr." I am assuming it's a PhD, is that correct?)What classes are they required to take?? Could someone explain this to me, please? Thank you.

Interested, tulsa (12/11/2007 7:07:58 AM)

#25. What does "Joyce Meyer needs to get the garbage out...." mean?
