Just finished reading Jim Bakker's "I Was Wrong" aka "The Prison Years". Fascinating story indeed about admitting he never fully knew The Bible & that He Was Wrong about what he had done with PTL.
Still, that's not changing my mind that he did indeed rip people off in the 70s and 80s, and he is doing it again today with his survival products Schtick.
Have you seen how overpriced the items are he is selling? It's nuts, and he's nuts.
And yes, I spotted a few lies in his text while reading.
@Jacki You mean "Through The Eyes of Tammy Faye" with Jessica Chastain as Tammy Faye LaValley/Bakker/Messner?
@RavenCutrereULC
That's the one ....what did you think of it?
@Jacki I liked it. I had to feel sorry for her because her happiness with Jim was really a Facade. As someone who grew up with grandmothers who watched him, although they had the hots so to speak for Oral Roberts, I kinda felt sorry for Jim, but I really felt sorry for Tammy. And she came over to our side as an ally for the LGBTQ community.
Agree with you about her marraige being a facade but both their greed is what took them down.
@Jacki Not only Greed, Jim's sexual escapade with Jessica Hahn while he was married.
@RavenCutrereULC He wrote that to make money. He doesn’t repent a damn thing. He was sued recently for selling snake oil COVID “cures”.
@bmacmixer Yes, I am aware of that. I know he wrote that for his fans and was desperate for money. I read on Internet Archive.
And I know he was sued over the Colloidal Silver snake oil he was selling on his show.
I saw Vic Berger's clip show on it & later looked at the articles after Alex Jones was also ordered to stop marketing his Colloidal Silver products.
And I do not agree with everything he said in the book. I have the thing from my mom that I read books even from those I despise.
@RavenCutrereULC I used to watch the Bakker conning hour occasionally just to remind myself what liars and charlatans preachers can be. I suppose some truly believe but I see most as simple thieves.
@RavenCutrereULC
Lol .... I though Jim Bakker was still in jail. Btw, have you seen the doc on Amazon Prime about Tammy Faye?
