- A longtime maintenance employee was fired so that an underage male friend of Mrs. Roberts could have his position. (My comment: WTF does this even mean?)
- Mrs. Roberts — who is a member of the board of regents and is referred to as ORU's "first lady" on the university's 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." The document cites inconsistencies in clothing purchases and actual usage on TV.
- Mrs. Roberts was given a white Lexus SUV and a red Mercedes convertible by ministry donors.
- University and ministry employees are regularly summoned to the Roberts' home to do the daughters' homework.
- The university and ministry maintain a stable of horses for exclusive use by the Roberts' children.
- The Roberts' home has been remodeled 11 times in the past 14 years.
What would Jesus think about this sort of corrupt Christianity? When will the Sheeple who donate to these frauds finally get a clue?

What sort of Crisis in Christian Leadership is there in America right now? Why are religious leaders so silent about this abuse of their followers?
Maybe conservative Christians should get their own house in order before trying to browbeat the rest of us into their religious scams?
And why did Mrs. Roberts need a red Mercedes convertable, anyway? She sounds like a wild Christian woman... meow!
