So, did Skinner say that, if DU doesn't get 1000 donations, God will take him away?

The fund drive will be a success. As if there was really any doubt. So, all of that melodrama, all of that hand wringing, all of that "DU in crisis" stuff will be in vain. And life will go on at one of thousands of message boards on the internet.

14. D'oh. Can't edit anymore.
Was that Oral's exact quote? I searched and could only find paraphrases, in different words.

8. Oral and Skinner??????
Edited on Sat Aug-21-10 01:40 PM by bobbieinok
I strongly believe neither would like the comparison.

How many of you know Roberts died last spring??

For those here who may have forgotten: 2 or so years ago the chairman of the ORU Humanities Dept (history, poli sci, govt, and general humanities) and 2 instructors sued the university, the board of regents, and the Roberts family for misuse of funds and use of students in a poli sci/govt class to campaign for a particular mayoral candidate in the GOP primary. The faculty council voted no confidence in Richard Roberts (then president of the university).

Some of the many results: Richard 'retired,' most of the regents left the board, the university was completely severed from the ministry, a new president was hired (I've heard he's very good), the school was bailed out by the owner of Hobby Lobby (a major funder of Assembly of God and other pentecostal groups,according to 'dogemporer' posts at daily kos and talk2action). and new regents were chosen

Four of the ORU regents who left the board were on Grassley's of mega evangelist who needed to file $ records with his committee: Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland, and one other whose name I have forgotten.

11. I don't know that it really was a comparison. I just thought it was a bit
of an imaginative joke.

16. I don't think he had to, actually...
It looked like the thought of making Freepers weep, rip out their eyeballs with rusty railroad spikes, fall on their moms' cellar floors in hysterical fits, and finally have their heads explode that gave the fund drive that final surge...
