My friends and I used to watch him and his wife's TV show, and just laugh, they were so stupid.
And the scandal really cracked us up.
Well, Jim and Tammy divorced, Tammy died of cancer.
Jim?
He's selling "desserts" for after "doomsday."

(86,650 posts)according to this, there will be no grid/power but we should be sure to have our dessert because after an event like the rapture or whatever it is he's predicting, makes it all better. So buy your ice cream sandwiches now because when there's no refrigeration, you might have a hard time jumping into your Hummer and finding some at the ice cream shop. He doesn't mention how these are to be stored until the end times happen or how one should eat all that ice cream in less than a day when the power goes out...
That someone pays these people to peddle this swill (the products and the ideology) just makes me cringe.

But she was still a grifter

(12,157 posts)was sentenced to 10 years reduced to 2 serving 22 months. Ivan Boesky sentenced to 3 1/2 years served 2 years. Jim Bakker sentenced him to 45 years served <5years. How was this fair?
And what about Marvin Bush-he got nothing.

(12,081 posts)turned its back on God, God will punish the US, and there will be a catastrophe of some sort. My dad cannot afford the stuff that Jim Bakker sells so he just buys water, canned food, beans and rice from the store and stores them in the house. I stop on this show as I'm clicking through the channels sometimes so I can know what my dad is watching, and one day I saw this guy selling airplane neck pillows for missionary trips. This guy must be making millions off these poor souls.
