Do you think what Oral Roberts did was wrong? Why?
He stirred controvery in 1987, when he told TIME that his son had seen him raise a child from the dead.
Roberts’ eldest son, Ronald, committed suicide in June 1982 at the age of 37 after getting a court order to get counseling at a drug treatment center in February.
This is what he did ***In 1987, during a fund raising drive, Roberts announced to a television audience that unless he raised $8 million by that March, God would “call him home” (a euphemism for death).***
Some were fearful that he was referring to suicide given the passionate pleas and tear that accompanied his statement.
From the late 1980′s to 1992 Roberts maintained a residence in the exclusive St. Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. Roberts would commute via private jet from his base in Oklahoma to Boca Raton airport for weekend visits to his golf club retreat.
He only did what any self respecting con artist would do. He conned people. He was successful at it.
