Jim Bakker is being "persecuted!"

The only people I can think of who would be sending Jim Bakker death threats would be all the people this MF'er cheated!

Jim Bakker: People Are Trying To Kill Me For Believing The Bible

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 8/26/2016 3:10 pm

Televangelist Jim Bakker, who has been warning his viewers that he is on the verge of getting shut down and thrown into jail as America collapses, told his audience last month that people are trying to kill him and other pastors simply for preaching from the Bible.

“If you disagree today with somebody who disagrees with the Bible and you speak, but they have an agenda and if you won’t stop, they are going to kill you,” he said. “Do you understand this? We have never lived in a day of our time, in our history of America, where you couldn’t have an opposite opinion. Now they’re determined to wipe out all of those who disagree with them. That to me is hideous. Protesting is one thing if you do it quietly and hold up a sign and say I don’t agree with you; killing you—that’s what they’re calling for now, they’re calling for death.”

While Bakker didn’t say who was trying to kill him, the program showed news clips about the shootings of police officers and a Breitbart article about random Twitter users calling for the death of policemen.

to be sure it wasn't from 1987.
Because I could swear he was saying the same things back then.

food buckets he's selling. What I wonder is, if you're planning on being raptured why do you need survivalist food?

According to him, our civilization is going to collapse, the "Antichrist" show up, then the Rapture, then the last big battle.

It's a post-apocalypse scenario that allows Bakker to sell his overpriced powdered and freeze-dried food.
