Once a con artist for Jesus, always a con artist for Jesus. (Remember Jim Bakker?)

I get the distinct feeling Jim Bakker never had any desire to make an honest living.

Jim Bakker: Buy My Survival Food Because World War III Is Coming Soon

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Wednesday, 3/9/2016 12:20 pm

Last week on “The Jim Bakker Show,” televangelist Jim Bakker said that World War III is imminent — so imminent that “the Third World War could begin this month.” And that is why, according to Bakker, you should immediately start buying his ministry’s buckets of survival food. “We don’t know when all these things will happen, but I’ll tell you what, if that is the third one and it does begin this month, there won’t be any food left in the warehouses to ship out because one event and everybody goes and orders,” he said.

I think scam artists don't change. They just come up with new scams. They can't really do anything else. It's the only way he knows to support himself. And it's so easy.

He can prepare his ministry's buckets any way he wants to. If the supplies are ever
required there won't be any courts to take complaints of ptomaine or salmonella to.

I'll take that action. Hundred bucks. Third World War begins by April 1. How about it?
