Four out of five of these listed folks are sort of problem people.

Joel Osteen, thankfully, and so far anyway, is not.

I always rather believed in the ministry of Oral Roberts----UNTIL he years ago passed so much power and control in the organization to his son, Richard, who was not at all annointed for the task---a thing obvious to anyone who paid attention to Richard. The father-to-son thing in major ministries is always a thing to be questioned when it (frequently) happens-----because money and control of stock of corporations is ususally the reason so many go that way. These outfits turn out to be almost identical to "family" businesses---and you KNOW that is not how God would do it---if God was ever enabled to actually "choose" the successor.

Yes, even Joel Osteen followed his passed-away dad into the pastor slot at the church. But, Joel, so far, has not been a disappointment.

That's not a very promising list of graduates, it is?
