Citadel of Truth said:Ironically, there are dozens of former WHBC & OBC students on the mission field and doing very well. Almost every one of them will attribute their earthly motivation to serve the Lord, in part, to Bob Ross. Let's face it, Bob Ross was the face and the drawing card of OBC, and well as the WHBC youth department.
That being said, I know it is not a good deeds verses bad deeds issue. Just making an observation. That's why I said it was ironic...
That is very true Citadel. Few will give credit to JAV but most will and do give credit to Bob Ross. But you will find the ones that do give credit to BR are ones who graduated or came through the place prior to about 2005 or so. In the early years and the years up to then the numbers were so high it was easy for leadership to mask the problems in the numbers. Most did not see the truth of the place prior to then because of the numbers. But after the JAV/Abi situation came to light, and the others after that, the numbers started to drop quickly. The exposure on the good ol FFF in the early 2000's really opened the eyes of many. Once the numbers dropped the issues even became more exposed and the rest is history. You really will not find many after that time frame that will sing the praises of BR any more. His behavior down in Texas just verifies it all.
