Happy Birthday Oral Roberts!

[Okla-homey]

He's 88 today. Kinda trippy...but he sure has made life more interesting over the years here in Tulsa.;)

[crawfish]

The guy is loopy.

[OklahomaTuba]

Yeah, I am not a fan of him. I think Richard Roberts has at least tried to make things better. But over all, they put to much emphasis on themselves and not on God.

[Pieces Hit]

My dad sold him a .22 rifle back in the late 50's or early 60's.
I don't remember.
He said Richard was a little boy.

I have a "Titan Club" membership card that's signed by Oral and The Great Gov. of Oklahoma David Hall. I got it in the gym they used to play basketball in before Mabee Center was built. It was the very last game they played before moving to the Mabee Center permanently.

David Hall, Democrat. Served from 1971 to 1975. He was born October 20, 1930, in Oklahoma City. He was Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Oklahoma where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1952. Hall served in the U.S. Air Force from 1952 to 1954. He continued his education of the University of Tulsa, earning his law degree in 1959. He served as assistant county attorney of Tulsa County from 1959 to 1962 and as county attorney from 1962 to 1966. In 1968 he returned to the University of Tulsa where he served as professor of law. He was inaugurated January 11, 1971, following the closest gubernatorial election in the state's history. Hall was indicted by a federal grand jury three days after leaving office. He later served 19 months of a three-year sentence for extortion and conspiracy convictions.

Seems he has a few who think he's not a genuine "Healer".

My brother played baseball there, graduated from there, was a GA for a season or two, an assistant Athletic Director for a year or three. He's not in a cult either.

He told me that the medical center's three buildings represtnt Noah's Ark. One tower is the length, another tower is the width and the third is the depth of Noah's ark. Can anyone confirm that?

[Jimminy Crimson]

Can anyone confirm that?

I'm sure Oral would be glad to. ;)

I don't know but I heard the 'City of Faith' was as tall as the 900 foot Jesus......

[OklahomaTrombone]

Interesting fact...when I was a little kid I called it Old Robbers University.

[OklahomaTuba]

The truth is that university has done a lot of good in mission works. And that hospital did provide many free medical operations to some of the neediest in this town. They gave me stiches and an exam when I was little and my mother had no medical insurance and couldn't afford to even look at a hospital.

The guy is loopy.
Yeah in a sharing the gospel with millions who may have never heard the message kind of way.
