I had a roommate 35 years ago, a really good guy, believing Christian, inherit $9,000 as his part of his grandmother’s estate. He sent it all to Jimmy Swaggart.
I was living in the Baton Rouge area when the prostitute scandal hit in '88. His ministry college/campus was deserted almost overnight. He was kicked out of the Assembly of God as a pastor. The real story started a few years before when he ratted out a competitor tv pastor named Gorman, IIRC. Swaggart ruined Gorman and Gorman vowed to get revenge. A few years later, Gorman turned over pics of Swaggart and a prostitute to the church, news media, and college board.
Surprises me the amount of people that don’t know his family.
His cousin Mickey Gilley st passed away a month or so ago. The other one, “The Killer” is still alive and kicking. A few years ago, I saw him in a Casino Billboard in OK. Guess he’s still touring the small venues.
Swaggart is a snake. Always has been. He’s been swindling little old ladies out of their SS money for YEARS.
I don't believe any of the televised "evangelists" are on the up and up. I believe Billy Graham was the real deal and his son Franklin MIGHT be sincere (I'd give him the benefit of the doubt as the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). I once attended services at Kenneth Copeland's church and heard him speak. I was way up front and I could see his eyes quite well. Reminded me of the look of a snake and his message was trash, and I never went back. After that I learned about the type of minister he is...I had no idea at the time. Now I do. He's cut from the same cloth as Hinn and other charlatans.
We have a Swaggart radio station close by. I listen to Frances and Friends and the shareathons for entertainment sometimes. He advertises his books exposing the catholics, Jehovah Witnesses, Islam, Mormons, and he is pretty critical of the Assembly of God. Oh, I forgot he goes after Joel Osteen pretty hard too.
Penthouse magazine did a pictorial of his Louisiana hooker. She was ugly and said that Jimmy wanted her young daughter for some action. she claimed he wasn't into penetrating her. She acted and he masturbated wearing a condom.
Then he got picked up in California with a prostitute.
There are some really gullible people in this world.
I thought he got Ruptured right after that Talent Show Audition.. He,Jimmy ,The Guy with the German last name and Baby Face Osteen it’s no wonder the Left wants US all Dead.. They can’t have Alpha Hypocrites running around that are better at the Show than Them..
I used to get a kick out of watching Dr. Gene Scott on late night tv years ago when I would get bored.
He always had some babes around I used to have a video tape of the one that took over his ministry She wasn't mellisa back then. I can't remember what her porn name was back then
David Jeremiah is another honest pastor on the tv.
It is sad that people connect tv charlatans to the local church down the road where the pastor is likely a real good fella. I understand. I cringe too. Still a shame though.
