After looking at some of the comments to a Tulsa World story, here’s what I can glean:
1. ORU is a small community. People know folks who know other folks who heard that so-and-so didn’t do such-and-such. And that he did.
2. A lot of this is old news to ORU folks, or even open secrets. Especially about their knocking out a dorm room wall to give one of Oral’s granddaughters a double-wide.
3. There’s probably more than one game of dirty pool going on here. There’s the politician who might have taken university money. There’s the student who might have broken into a university computer. And, of course, the Robertses.
4. Some of them ORU students write like LOL cats.
Consider this…
Mat 7:1 DO NOT judge and criticize and condemn others, so that you may not be judged and criticized and condemned yourselves.
Mat 7:2 For just as you judge and criticize and condemn others, you will be judged and criticized and condemned, and in accordance with the measure you [use to] deal out to others, it will be dealt out again to you.
Mat 7:3 Why do you stare from without at the very small particle that is in your brother’s eye but do not become aware of and consider the beam of timber that is in your own eye?
Mat 7:4 Or how can you say to your brother, Let me get the tiny particle out of your eye, when there is the beam of timber in your own eye?
Mat 7:5 You hypocrite, first get the beam of timber out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the tiny particle out of your brother’s eye.
The problem here is Envy…pure and simple. Jesus Himself stated that he would not “personally”(implied)judge but only as the Father revealed His judgement to Him(Jesus) - and He was clearly not referring to parsing scripture in The Father’s name as a means of discerning that judgement..
