IF there WAS an apocalypse, then why would he need the money? Why not give them away?

Kind of like all the gold sellers trying to get you to buy gold when lead will be much more valuable during the apocalypse.

Gee whiz. The Bakkers and PTL (and Heritage USA) were taken down by Pat Robertson over nothing... Some girls in a hot tub and a half-days’ worth of Heritage USA petty cash. The truth is the Bakkers weren’t any more “fake” than any other televangelist... They were just better at it, which made them a threat. PTL was THE FIRST viable satellite TV network... Believe it or not Tammy’s idea, wright from sock puppets and a desire to spread the Word.

Last I saw, he was selling apocalypse chow. "Imagine — the world is dying and you're having a breakfast for kings," the ad for the the food proclaims.

The reviews are...not good.

I did a web search to see his net worth. It was around $500k. Maybe it’s wrong and he’s worth a lot more.

Squares nicely with helping people and sharing themes of the New Testament.

I tell ya, if the End Of Days doesn’t stop coming every year I’m going to start ignoring it.

According to Rev. 12, the only safe place in the apocalypse is the wilderness east of the Jordan.

I grew up outside of Charlotte in SC.

Jim & Tammy were not liked at all from what I remember. Even as a kid, he struck me as a phony.

Tega Cay was their zone.

I had to go to their stupid show in the 70’s.

I think Jim Bakker is Q.

Christians will be taken away in the Rapture before the Tribulation. Does Bakker plan on being left behind?

I would rather be watching the Apocalypse than experiencing it. Having said that, I do expect the US to experience severe finical problems sometime in the near future before the final countdown. Money and power have become gods in the US and God is a jealous God.

Is it really possible to find out someone’s net worth on the internet? Their bank accounts, investments, properties, and such? Seems like an awesome amount of private information to just “look up.” I do doubt, deeply, that Jim’s net worth is 500K. More like his retainer, frankly.

The survival food market is huge, and all profit. You are re-posting an NPR review, not of Ben's Chili Bowl - an African American Cultural Experience - review by gay white government dependents but of

EVIL JIM BAKKERS CHRISTIAN FOOD - a review by gay white government dependents.

Please.

If there is a lesson to this thread it might have something to do with the Devil making us believe he doesn't exist, but it's more likely to have something to do, plainly, with wealthy people, having learned their lesson, making us believe they are destitute.

By the way, Kenny Bunk knew Jim fairly well, and liked him.

Yeah, he is alive and still stealing, all those who listen to his crap, blind. He is a bum and teaches a false gospel and everything else. Knowing him, he will be here during the Tribulation because if he has not truly repented of his lying and thieving, he will miss the Harpazo and still be here to endure it.
