Televangelist Jim Bakker needs 1,000 people to donate $1,000 each to save his ministry: "If they foreclose on this ministry, they will take my house too, so I'll be on the street."
I looked up Jessica Hahn because I idly wondered how she was doing and I saw how old she is and thought “that can’t be right” then remembered how old I am and thought “oh, right”
After my grandmother died we found canceled checks to this scumbag. She raised me and only had SS after my grandfather died.
I will hate Bakker until my dying breath. Evil incarnate.
People like him, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. are why we have a conman in the WH. They brainwashed a segment of the population into believing crap and tfg knew he had found his rubes.
He used that exact same line way back when in the 1980s, if I remember from clips from the wonderful documentary "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" (the movie of it was pretty good too).
"On Dec 6, 1980, Bakker and Hahn had a sexual encounter in a Florida hotel room. Although they each told different stories of what had happened, Bakker eventually paid Hahn over $350,000 to remain silent.... the scandal helped to bring down the entire PTL ministry."

When I was just a kid, I was in the audience of at least one Jim and Tammy show, filmed in Portsmouth, VA. This was before he and Tammy left their children's afternoon programming and moved to NC to start PTL
Rejoice in the Lord Blessing Brother Baker and unburdening him from Sin and shedding his lust for Earthly treasures.
"Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin"
Oh, wow. How old was I was when I first read the Bloom County comics making fun of him and Tammy Faye and the Moral Majority… PENGUIN LUST!! J’accuse! I miss Berk Breathed.
Let's see 🤔 .... What would GOP "Jesus" do for poor ole' Jim Bakker who conned MILLION$ & MILLION$ from desperate people, often in dire poverty, in exchange for the salvation he promised them? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ2L...
I was there for it back in the 80's. I was in my early 20's... and I could see right through that shit. My bestie & his fam loved this shit. They threw every penny they didn't have, at these people. Jimmy "cry baby" Swaggart, Tammy, Jim, Oral...
Add Fox to the mix, & u've got MAGAts factories.
Saw Tammy Fae in an Orlando-area flea market *years and years ago* after the end of their marriage. Large entourage, supporting her needs for attention. Quite a spectacle - but less mascara than expected.
As a preacher, I'm sure this house he will lose is very modest and the next step down in literal homelessness.
I'm sure for sure though that he will get many thousands of dollars from the pledge drive to save his very modest house from Kamala Harris who was responsible if you think about it.
