In reply to the discussion: Televangelist Paul Crouch, founder of TBN, dies at 79 [View all]AndyA
(16,993 posts)54. Even worse!
Richard and Lindsay Roberts (of Oral Roberts/ORU "fame"
used to live about a mile from me. While Oral and his wife lived in a more modest mid-century modern house built in the early sixties, Richard and his wife built a huge, tacky, red brick mansion that was exceeded only by the tackiness of its interior.
Chandeliers hanging over a garden tub with water jets, a closet bigger than most people's living rooms, a kitchen big enough to serve as a television studio, and a bathroom with Hollywood mirrors and lighting.
I was glad to see the Roberts' shenanigans exposed. I think you're 100% correct that the Crouch family will now expose their dirty laundry for everyone to see. 13 houses--excessive is an understatement!
