Oral Roberts claimed years ago that God told him if he didn't raise so many millions of dollars for that hospital of his, God was gonna take his life. The joke back then was: "Did ya hear Oral Roberts died? "No, how? "The check bounced."
Roberts claimed he met a 900 foot, Jesus.

Had to be the case! Tilton could be so bad sometimes that you could swear you're watching a comedy skit or episode in a Fellini movie.
This stuff is no joke it can be verified on U-tube.
Tilton IS the most flamboyant of the "healers." They're all a bunch of money-grubbing charlatans.

I remember seeing that on TV! He said he saw this giant Jesus, in response to asking the Lord how tall to make his medical center building. His son wanted to do something else in life, but Oral told Richard, isn't it, he'd die in a plane wreck, if he didn't carry on the "ministry." What a creep.
When I was a kid a friend of mines Mom liked Katherine Kuhlman. One night she was on TV and my friend and I were laughing like crazy. Only trying to be silent about it.
I don't believe ANYTHING these guys have to say.
Remember Dr. Gene Scott?
Scott was the General George S. Patton of TV preachers. He'd yell, curse, and demand people send him money and lots of it.
Then, there was Ernest Angley and Reverend Ike.

Something interesting in this regard, I used to watch all of them here and there, or listen on the radio, including the Armstrongs, was a young Christian, and I never believed them, either, would see the agenda, the lies and the phoniness. Though a cult, I found Herbert Armstrong, at least, sincere. Back when, Oral Roberts was actually a big, respected name, in a wide community of mainstream Christianity, but I was never taken in by any of them, knew who was of truth, and only listened to those of truth, regularly. I would only, and to this day, watch the charlatans, to see what the devil is up to. It makes me wonder where is the spiritual discernment among their followers. God knows, but I don't see how they could be saved.
These guys don't pay a dime to the IRS and live like Kings and Queens. Joel Olsteen is another character. Although he's more of a motivational speaker than a preacher.

Wasn't he married to a stripper, who took over his "ministry" when he went on to be with, or, well, went somewhere, anyway, there in the land of fruits and nuts?
I agree. I watch them on U-tube once in awhile, just for entertainment value alone.
She's now the preacher of the late Scotts church.

He reminds me of what a big, yellow smiley face would say, if it could psychobabble.
