Robert Tilton's scandals never made nearly the ripples in the national news.

Robert Tilton never had anything Jerry Falwell wanted.

If you recall, the Bakker scandal was fed by Jerry Falwell, founder and leader of the Moral Majority, who was trying to pump the scandal so he could buy the PTL themepark.

I still remember the picture of Jerry going down the water slide with his blue suit, white shirt, red tie and a sactimonious smirk on his face.

Falwell is an interesting character. When his Liberty University was financially tanking, he was bailed out by a large donation by "Christian businessman" Art Williams. Williams founded a multilevel marketing insurance company (the Amway of insurance) and was eventually driven from the industry by state and federal regulators. Travelers bought the MLM and renamed it to mask the scandal.
