My "WTF?" of the day, or maybe not a "WTF?"

I don't know whether to be baffled by this, or simply laugh my ass off.

The funniest part being this is Jim Bakker. Yes, THAT Jim Bakker who screwed around with multiple partners of both sexes, and tried paying off one of them to keep quiet.

That was what blew up his big "Christian" empire.

God Came To Jim Bakker In The Bath To Tell Him That He's Punishing America For Abortion Rights

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 1/5/2015 4:05 pm

On New Year’s Day, televangelist Jim Bakker informed viewers of his show about what God has in store for America in 2015, including increased tensions with North Korea and violence from Islamist extremists, something that no one else could have predicted. He warned, however, that the U.S. military will fail to ever win a war because Americans are “mocking God, taking God out of schools, making it legal to murder the babies, [taking] the Ten Commandments down and literally denying the word of God.” Bakker also told his audience that he received divine revelations while he was taking a bath.

Jim Bakker back in Fort Mill, broadcasts from old PTL studio

FORT MILL TOWNSHIP — For the first time in more than 25 years, Jim Bakker is broadcasting his television program today from the studios of the former Heritage USA.

These days, the former head of Heritage USA, a Christian theme park that included TV studios as well as a “Main Street” with shops and other attractions, typically broadcasts his show from Missouri. But he returned to Fort Mill this week for “Restoration Celebration,” a series of broadcasts from his former stomping grounds. Events earlier this week have been by invitation only, but according to jimbakkershow.com, today’s broadcast will be streamed live on the website beginning at 10:30 a.m. from the former Heritage USA studios.

This week, Bakker has also recorded his show from The Barn and at the Upper Room at the former Heritage USA site.
