THE BAKKERS

JIM AND TAMMY BAKKER

Formerly PTL - Praise The Loot —

HE’S BACK — The unordained dish washer who rose to fame on lies and deceit, begetting and accused rape of a staff Secretary -- broken promises, major fraud and convicted by the law to forty-five years in prison and crucified by the fake competition in Evangelism he thought were friends, they turned out to be fiends.

Then he gets out of jail, back on the air because jerks like some of you fall for his sh*t and support him, and he became a neurotic nutcase promoting fake products and hallucinogenic guests, the End of The World Apocalyptic bullsh*t for fear, and a devout T-Rump supporter — scumbag to scumbag —

His audience were possibly the most dumbest, most ignorant, naive folks, in the universe, and then God took over —

The Finali — 5/15/2020 Jim Bakker is recovering from a stroke his comeback dreams will be on hold while “ Gods will be done” and some have said: This was a stroke of genius for this con man — pressure from debt - low ratings — negativity — some have said not enough of a stroke to rid society from this con job — his newer wife is still running the scams —

BEFORE AND AFTER —

Left: Jim Bakker in his heyday (1980’s) while making the Evangelical version of Disneyland and raking in millions of dollars and living like a king.

Right: Jim Bakker on the Jim Bakker Show
Prior to his stroke, we wish him better times in an institution somewhere off this planet.

NEWS - Televangelist Jim Bakker, a long-time target of investigations at Trinity Foundation, is recovering from a stroke. Answering the prayers of many normal people for this nutcase to get off the air.

ON 5/82020, LORI BAKKER POSTED THE NEWS ON THE JIM BAKKER WEBSITE:

“I wanted to share with you, our loving and caring partners **, that Jim recently experienced a stroke. We are thankful that Jim is okay, and that he is now at home with our family. Under the guidance of medical professionals and our Board of Directors, Jim will be taking a sabbatical from the show. Jim will be back! He is still dreaming and hearing from the Lord, and he already has a powerful word to deliver when he returns to the air.”

** From the Evangelical Pentecostal Dictionary Of Bullsh*t : We hope not, he should retire and invest in Nomex underwear, it gets awful hot in hell, just so you know “ PARTNERS” IS a term used by Evangelical liars instead of its more often used translation by Journalists as " SUCKERS” .

TRINITY FOUNDATION COMMENTED — Those last words from Lori Bakker alarm us at Trinity Foundation. Is Jim really hearing from God? We’ve watched as televangelists have repeatedly fundraised off dubious so-called prophecies and mysterious voices they hear — EDITOR — I heard voices too, when hit by a bad pitch, bells ringing, the National Anthem and Sara Palin talking in tongues!

BRINGING THE ASS CLOWN UP TO DATE — “The Jim Bakker Show,” broadcast since 2003 on the new and revamped PTL Television Network, is a strange artifact of Christian televangelism. Bakker, who’s been broadcasting since the early 1970s, continues his ministry today in relative obscurity, no longer preaching about prosperity but instead about the coming apocalypse.

(For dumb people thats the end of the world when the tooth fairy turns out to be gay, grinding the teeth and selling it to willing Chinese men for virility, and Santas sled gets shot down over North Korea

“The PTL Club” was once the most widely viewed religious program on television. Now, “The Jim Bakker Show” is only broadcast on Roku, DirecTV, DISH Network and on demand. And few are demanding this bullsh*t —

While reassuring to know his current miniscule platform pivots from the most nefarious behavior of Bakker’s past, his show only serves as a disappointing reminder of what used to be the largest cultural touch point in Christianity.

The Bakkers have been a recurring topic of discussion in the past year, when many drew connections between Jim Bakker and Jerry Falwell Jr. and alongside the film release of “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” Starring Andrew Garfield as Bakker and Jessica Chastain as Tammy Faye, the movie centers around Tammy Faye from her first meeting with Bakker through the remainder of her life — her divorce from Bakker, Bakker’s imprisonment, the imprisonment of her second husband, Roe Messner, who worked with Bakker in construction of major projects, and her battles with addiction to mascara and cancer.

VIOLATED FDA REGULATION SELLING HACK DRUGS — Bakker has also made headlines in the past year for his COVID-19 “miracle cure,” called the “silver solution,” which he was marketing on his show. Credit card companies refused to allow those sales, and Bakker begged viewers to send checks instead to keep him from filing for bankruptcy.

Jim and Lori Bakker. From “The Jim Bakker Show” Facebook.

1992 — PTL’s quick plummet amid sex and money scandals resulted in a divorce between Bakker and Tammy Faye in 1992.

1998 — Bakker married his second wife, Lori Bakker, a youth minister who has written several books and hosted her own PTL show called “Life with Lori.”

2003 — Lori and Jim started hosting “The Jim Bakker Show” in 2003 in Branson, Missouri.

2008 — They moved to Morningside in 2008. According to Buzzfeed, original PTL partner Jerry Crawford offered an investment of $25 million for Morningside and still owns most of the land. “The Jim Bakker Show” has broadcast from the community ever since.

No reservations are required to attend a taping of the show, and attendance is free.
The Morningside website does offer this warning of sorts: “Please be advised that tapings of The Jim Bakker Show may last up to 6 hours. Audience members are welcome to stay for any portion of these tapings.”
Most of the attendees at the show aren’t visitors but rather members of the Morningside community who are renting or have purchased one of the condos on the property. These condos and other living accommodations are available for overnight stay for visitors, though, and there’s also onsite camping.
Morningside amenities also include a chapel, a general store, a cafe, a center for pregnant women and a 15-foot-tall statue of Jesus.
In the same way that Morningside looks like a set recycled from a failed television pilot, “The Jim Bakker Show” — at least in its current era — feels like a recycled attempt at former Bakker glory.
The resemblance between Faye and Lori isn’t striking, but it’s there all the same: Like Faye, Lori is heavily made-up — though not nearly as heavily as Faye in the ‘80s — with big hair and a peppy spirit.
Lori also isn’t much of a performer — arguably what Faye was known best for. There in hopes of filling that gap is the daughter of Faye and Bakker, Tammy Sue Bakker, who has been a leading member of PTL since her parents’ divorce in 1992.
She sings on the show and works as an announcer and co-host, and she’s fine, but she doesn’t have much of a spark. She certainly doesn’t have the Tammy Faye spark.
The show is bumbling and empty of substance. Hosts talk over each other and repeat the same phrases about faith and justice, particularly when it comes to the end times and how shunted conservatives are in today’s woke world.
It’s very clearly only a show for a certain brand of Conservative Evangelical Christians who enjoy talk of the apocalypse and attacks on American Christianity — it’s just a shame the show is so boring, too.
Even the end-time prophetic preaching loses its appeal after a few minutes, particularly when there’s not much news about the apocalypse forthcoming.
So to make things interesting he interviews other scumbags involved in lies fraud, all of which are not new to him — as A fellow writer wrote me after listening for ten minutes to him, I just had to shut the pr*ck off . the man is sick —

JIM BAKKERS BIG PTL EXORCISM FROM GOD — THE REAL PTL DOWNFALL

Due to his involvement in highly publicized financial and sexual scandals, Jim Bakker resigned on March 19, 1987. He turned all ministry assets over to Lynchburg, Virginia–based pastor and broadcaster Jerry Falwell, who became CEO of the parent organization, Heritage Village Church and Missionary Fellowship, Inc. and assumed control of Heritage USA, the cable network, and of its flagship program.
Falwell's involvement was deemed newsworthy, as the PTL ministries were a part of the Assemblies of God denomination and Falwell was a Southern Baptist. Ministry supporters questioned Falwell's intentions and attributed his interest solely to maintaining control of the lucrative cable-television empire owned by PTL to broadcast his own ministry programming. ( TEAM PENTECOSTAL )
One commentator noted that “ Bakker arranged for Falwell to take over PTL in March in an effort to avoid what he called a ‘ hostile takeover' of the television ministry by people threatening to expose a sexual encounter he admitted to having seven years earlier with church secretary Jessica Hahn. "According to Hahn, on the afternoon of December 6, 1980, when she was a 21-year-old church secretary, Bakker and another preacher, John Wesley Fletcher drugged and raped her for "about 15 minutes". Hahn stated she overheard Bakker say afterward to another PTL staffer, "Did you get her too?”
A federal grand jury indicted Bakker for diverting millions of dollars of church funds to personal use. Much of the nation^[ watched the court case to see the outcome of the $165 million in donations.
The PTL Club continued as a television program for a considerable time after this, first with Falwell as its host and PTL personality Doug Oldham as co-host. Falwell later brought in Christian singer Gary McSpadden as the show's co-host, along with PTL musical talent Ron Aldridge.
The show was renamed PTL Today, then—in an effort to distance the show from the PTL name—Heritage Today. Aldridge continued as co-host alongside another PTL singer, Brenda Davis, after Falwell suddenly resigned from the now-bankrupt PTL ministry. McSpadden and Oldham subsequently left the show out of support for Falwell's decision to resign his position with the ministry.
With Falwell's resignation, Sam Johnson, a member of the PTL ministry team, assumed leadership and incorporated a new entity known as Heritage Ministries to run the television program and associated ministry functions. As Heritage USA and PTL assets were now tied up in bankruptcy reorganization, the new ministry and the television program had to move from their longtime Heritage USA broadcast studios to newly bought property on Nations Ford Road in Charlotte that was named Heritage Place. The program remained on the air as late as September 1988, when Johnson faced problems with the IRS.
In 1989, evangelist Morris Cerullo purchased the network out of bankruptcy. As of 2012 it operates as INSP from broadcast facilities in Charlotte, with headquarters in nearby Indian Land, South Carolina.

BAD ACTORS — MIKE LINDELL — THE PILLOW MAN —

Before his stroke the Bakkers guests included the other scumbags like Mike Lindell — a T-Rump acolyte known as the pillow man, fraudster — grifter and ten other charges including card reading in Vegas — pushing T-RUMP to sell fake Oleander medicine for COVID which is a deadly poison and claims God sent T-RUMP to save us. After hearing those things I determined that what we have with two of them in one place is two pr*cks in a pod. And both have a guaranteed reservation in hell with T-Rump. All three are grifters.

The rest of the program was essentially a cable TV shopping program for MyPillow products — fitting, as PTL has recently launched its own shopping program. The whole affair reeks of hopeless grabs at relevance. He needs some casket time and forgiveness for his lies and sins in Gods Name.

OBSERVATIONS — COMMENTARY

Lucifer Mephistopheles Quoted: (He is the Social Director for Hell) “ When better liars are made Jim Bakker has nothing to worry about, he’s on a par with the best and when it comes to spreading sh*t, he’s got more clout than half the manure cattle falsely calling themselves Angus Beef --
The Trinity Foundation — has kept a watchful eye on Jim Bakker’s operations since the 1980s. In the early years, Trinity Foundation studied the demographics of religious TV audiences, but their focus changed to investigating allegations of religious fraud and financial excess.
Following Bakker’s indictment, Congress held a hearing in October 1987 to explore the topics of oversight and self-regulation.
Trinity Foundation President Ole Anthony told Congress: “The system requires an endless cycle of appeals for money to keep the ministry on the air, coupled with ‘gift offer’ enticements. These are all aimed at an audience of generally older women and widows who are least able to resist this psychological high-pressure sales pitch.
While Bakker was serving the final months of his sentence in a North Carolina halfway house during the winter of 1994/1995, Trinity Foundation investigators explored the trash outside Bakker’s attorney’s office for clues. Was Bakker still profiting from the most loyal members of his former viewing audience?
The investigation revealed that Bakker’s daughter Tammy Sue maintained the ministry mailing list, sending updates to the most generous donors. Bakker’s mailing list had been “kept alive” during his years in prison with regular letters to donors from “New Covenant Church” (no longer as PTL).
The Comeback — After completing his sentence, Bakker authored the book I Was Wrong: The Untold Story of the Shocking Journey from PTL Power to Prison and Beyond. The autobiography rehabilitated Bakker’s image and convinced many Christians that Bakker was abused by the court system. He was not, he just got caught. With his pants down.
Jim and Lori married in 1998. Then preparation began for a return to the airwaves. He can’t do it alone, he needs a female cohort to cover the lies and she swears to it.

The Jim Bakker Show website reports, “Sixteen years to the date (2003) that Pastor Jim had made his last broadcast from PTL, he and Lori launched their new television ministry from Branson, Missouri. With the help of PTL Partner, Jerry Crawford, the ministry staff converted a bar/restaurant to a café/television studio called Studio City Café.” Branson Missouri, is the Valhalla of Evangelicalism Bullsh*t, for the false and phony Jim Bakker and others amongst the Moonshiners and tourists. The show about Moonshiners has higher ratings.
Trinity Foundation investigators again collected evidence from trash runs in Branson, and from mailings to a PO Box showing that Bakker’s mailing list was still supporting his newly revived television broadcast—the Jim Bakker Show—as a broadcast of the New Covenant Fellowship.
In 2015, the Bakkers relaunched the PTL Television Network. It currently exists as a shadow of its former self. Property developer Jerry Crawford constructed a chapel, cottages, condominiums and an RV park near Bakker’s Morningside Church with the goal of creating a small Christian community near Branson. But Bakker’s dreams have now been put on hold.

MORE BULLSH*T — FDA MEDICAL CON JOB — AND MORE LIES —

COVID-19 had just begun spreading across America in early 2020 when disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker saw an opportunity. With no vaccines for the virus in existence, he got to market early claiming bottles of his “Silver Sol Liquid” could eradicate coronavirus in 12 hours.
Missouri and Arkansas sued, but Bakker’s attorney—former Missouri Governor Jay Nixon—claims the suits infringe on Bakker’s religious liberty, saying the TV host is being “unfairly targeted” by those who want to force his church and TV program to shut down. But Bakker isn’t the only preacher who has used the Gospel to sell bogus COVID cures. These believers believe anything and are a target since most of the bullsh*t from Jerkoff scammers like Bakker and Grenon are lies.
A Florida grand jury indicted Mark Grenon and his three sons for conspiracy to commit fraud and criminal contempt. defendants accused of attempting to avoid government regulation by selling products through a company they deceptively named “Genesis II Church of Health and Healing”
Miami, Florida -- A federal grand jury in Miami has returned an indictment charging a Florida man -- Mark Grenon, 62 -- and his three sons -- Jonathan Grenon, 34, Jordan Grenon, 26, and Joseph Grenon, 32 -- with fraudulently marketing and selling “Miracle Mineral Solution,” a toxic industrial bleach, as a cure for COVID-19, cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, autism, malaria, hepatitis, Parkinson’s, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and other serious medical conditions, and with defying federal court orders.
They were ordered to cease and desist last Spring, and served with an injunction last Summer, but they kept selling the solution which, once ingested, becomes bleach and is potentially fatal. They were arrested and in jail.
The FDA is particularly concerned that products that claim to cure, treat or prevent serious diseases like COVID-19 may cause consumers to delay or stop appropriate medical treatment, leading to serious and life-threatening harm.
The FDA has received reports of people experiencing serious adverse events, including respiratory failure, life-threatening low blood pressure, acute liver failure and QT prolongation after drinking certain chlorine dioxide products.
The danger is significant for vaccine-resistant evangelical Christians: There are about 41 million white evangelical adults in the U.S. About 45 percent said in late February that they would not get vaccinated against Covid-19, making them among the least likely demographic groups to do so, according to the Pew Research Center.
Some evangelists and pastors have been selling other fake cures. Last Sunday, residents of one St. Louis neighborhood received anti-vaccine literature from a man calling himself Dr. Keith Lawrence, who was promoting “God’s Emergency Medical Missionary Service.”
Healing evangelists like Kenneth Copeland and Andrew Wommack have dismissed the virus and criticized government efforts to limit its spread. Copeland once claimed he had “destroyed” COVID. “ I blow the wind of God on you. You are destroyed forever, and you’ll never be back,” Copeland said on his TV show, Believer’s Voice of Victory. several died from his bullsh*t —
The market for bogus cures is vast in Brazil, a religious country where congress has “ launched a parliamentary inquiry into what critics call (President) Jair Bolsonaro’s disastrous and potentially criminal response to a Covid pandemic that has killed nearly 400,000 Brazilians.” T-RUMPS vaccine sent three million does to Brazil after being banned in the US.
One wealthy Brazilian Christian preacher peddles miracle beans: Evangelist leader Valdemiro Santiago has been taking to the virtual pulpit with sermons full of debunked conspiracies and falsehoods. Santiago – head of the Universal Church of God’s Power – told followers to buy his “miracle beans” he claims can cure even serious cases of COVID-19.
Another Brazilian preacher with connections to Bolsonaro is selling a drug used to treat parasites, claiming it can cure COVID. Santiago has 2.4m Facebook followers and is considered the “spiritual teacher” of COVID-sceptic president Bolsonaro.”

BAKKER’S ATTORNEY DEFENDS SELLING “SILVER SOL LIQUID”--

Jim Bakker was indicted on multiple counts of mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy in 1988 for his role in fundraising scandals at PTL Club and Heritage USA theme park. After Baker started selling “Silver Sol Liquid” as a COVID cure, the FDA told him to stop selling it, but he continued.
“Jim Bakker has exploited Arkansas consumers by leveraging COVID-19 fears to sell over $60,000 worth of their products that do nothing to fight the virus,” said Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge. He said “ 385 Arkansans made purchases from Bakker’s company totaling approximately $60,524 for colloidal silver.”
After some credit card companies stopped working with Bakker’s Branson, Mo.-based Morningside Church Productions, Bakker said he suffered a stroke and took a sabbatical from his show. Bakker’s Attorney Jay Nixon sued to stop the Arkansas investigation, saying the U.S Constitution protects Bakker’s beliefs, including beliefs about the efficacy of “Silver Sol Liquid.”
“Bakker did not claim or state that Silver Solution was a cure for COVID-19. This case is about religious freedom,” Nixon said. Nixon’s suit was dismissed. One person thought the Judge said “ Don’t come back"

LAWSUIT STATE OF MISSOURI —

During an episode of The Jim Bakker Show, Dr Sherrill Sellman another con promoted Silver Solution to fight Covid-19. “Well, let’s say it hasn’t been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it’s been tested on other strains of the coronavirus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours.”
The State of Missouri sued Bakker to end the promotion of Silver Solution as a Covid-19 cure. Ronnie Marin, one of Bakker’s customer’s, filed a class action lawsuit in federal court claiming that “there are more than 100 class members and the aggregate amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 …”
Because of fraud allegations, the credit card processing companies put a hold on monies donated to Bakker’s ministry. This financial pressure may have contributed to causing Bakker’s stroke

IN THE BEGINNING

James Orsen Bakker first saw daylight January 2, 1940, and is an American televangelist, former Assemblies of God minister ( Got Dumped) and former late host with his wife Tammy Faye Bakker of The PTL Club, ( Died) an Evangelical Christian fake fraud television program.
She passed on after a long bout with cancer, seeing her husband going to jail, divorcing him, remarrying and finishing with her last days at peace. ( She was out in left field, hyper-emotional and rumored to have a Women's line of Mascara Line for sale on the web, friendly kooky but seemed nice for her, he was the brains of the deal, if you call what he does mainly bullsh*t takes brains)
Jim Bakker is also known for building Heritage USA in Fort Mill, South Carolina, a former Christian theme park which opened in 1978 and closed in 1989.
( biggest Christian Ripoff since thirteen versions of the Christian Bible
Where Did The Money Go — The Bakkers were the founders of Heritage USA, which, back in its day, was a Christian Theme park and the third most popular theme park destination in the country, that featured, among other things, a life-sized version of the upper room, where the Last Supper was held.
Although the Bakkers raised more than enough money to finish the Grand Tower, it was never completed, and to this day, nobody’s quite certain where all the money went, or why the church kept asking for more. ( Errr, could be it was being stolen? )
He has written several books, including “ I Was Wrong and Time Has Come: How to Prepare Now for Epic Events Ahead” . Mostly tryin to cover his ass, not worth the paper they are printed on.

BE-GETTING, BEGINNING, BE-GOTTEN, BE-JAILED — CLEARWATER BEACH—

Three-Some ( Not The Holy Trinity) — In addition to defrauding the public to help fund Heritage, Mr. Bakker was caught having a threesome with a church secretary named Jessica Hahn and John Wesley Fletcher in a Clearwater, Fl. Resort. Actually a hotel located five miles from my front door on Clearwater Beach.

Explanation Of Begetting By Jim Bakker — Many times in the Bible the word "be-getting" or to "have been the father" is used. Unfortunately some of these TV “ profits" have been caught doing a lot of after hours be-getting. Either off-stage with a hooker, or when caught filling water vials from a tap, cheating, begetting and stealing from the flock like the Popoff's with their tap water con job

Jim Bakker a former restaurant helper ( a starter position, dishwashing, busing, sweeping) turned Evangelist All crazy till you learn Swaggert was accused by a hooker, he wanted her daughter, nothing slips by in the scumbag world of phonies, the truth always surfaces.

Jim Bakker did a little begetting right here on Clearwater Beach, about five miles from my home with a Ms. Jessica Hahn. Turns out she was good enough for Playboy, a knockout after very little make over work was done. Not much, I worked at the Playboy club in St Petersburg as the house photographer till they closed and she had a natural God given men driven appeal.

At least he had good taste. That did not make Mrs. Bakker happy, but why risk a good income, she forgave him and as soon as he went off to jail divorced Jim and she married Jim’s friend and co-worker.

Thats what happened to Jim Bakker. JAIL. The problem was he was legally, morally, and spiritually begotten to the late Queen of Mascara, Tammy Fay Bakker. (Begotten - past tense of begetting)

What ever the reasons for the begetting, thats not what brought them down, it was the use of money they got as donations that didn't arrive at the promised land.

He promised hotels and rooms and they used it differently. Many papers whom were covering the story leaped on the begetting news. Overnight a star was born, more on her later.

PTL's fund raising activities between 1984–1987 underwent scrutiny by The Charlotte Observer newspaper, eventually leading to criminal charges against Jim Bakker. From 1984 to 1987, Bakker and his PTL associates sold $1,000 "lifetime memberships", which entitled buyers to a three-night stay annually at a luxury hotel at Heritage USA.

According to the prosecution at Bakker's later fraud trial, tens of thousands of memberships had been sold, but only one 500-room hotel was ever completed. Bakker "sold" more "exclusive partnerships" than could be accommodated, while raising more than twice the money needed to build the actual hotel.
A good deal of the money went into Heritage USA's operating expenses, and Bakker kept $3.4 million in bonuses for himself. And now the affair tended to surface in addition to some looking to bury him with homophobic events. His schtick ( Jewish For Bullsh*t) caught up with him.

THE JESSICA HAHN AFFAIR - BEGAN TO SURFACE

$279,000 payoff for the silence of Jessica Hahn, a woman who was mistakenly supposed to be a Bakker staff member, was paid by Tammy Faye's later husband, Roe Messner.
Hahn was actually a one-time acquaintance of Bakker, set up by a "friend" in 1980. Sort of a "Hooker by Crooker" relationship.
Bakker, who apparently made all of the financial decisions for the PTL organization, allegedly kept two sets of books to conceal the accounting irregularities. They were not religious in nature…
Reporters from The Charlotte Observer, led by lead reporter Charles Shepard, investigated and published a series of articles regarding the PTL organization's finances.
On March 19, 1987, following the revelation of a payoff to Jessica Hahn to keep secret her allegation that Bakker had raped her, Bakker resigned from PTL.
Bakker acknowledges he met Hahn at a hotel room in Clearwater Beach, Florida, but denies raping her. She was young and at the time and perhaps he promised her some of the “ Holy Land Experience” in the future.

ED - OPINION AND FACT — HER SIDE — Most of us in the more critical theatre believe she was young, not entirely that bright, naive and fell for the spiel and grace Jim offered and got banged. Left, right upside down and sideways —

NOTE: In those years I was the Playboy House Photographer in The Playboy Club in downtown St. Petersburg and really give them some great pictures. Oh well, missed opportunities —

And he got caught, pants down doing the bebanging by religious folks doing in the bible called Begetting. And getting caught at the subsequent three some with her. She was well endowed, and even better after the Playboy crew did very little polishing and massaging the photos, She did not need much — as the playboy photos suggest. And very sultry —

It’s been three decades since the world found out about the hour-15 minutes she spent in a Florida hotel room with televangelist Jim Bakker. But Jessica Hahn says it’s only been in the last two years that she’s finally confronted her anger about what happened, and how it’s affected the rest of her life.

She says she’s angry at Bakker, founder of the onetime PTL empire near Charlotte, for using his power and his image as a man of God to manipulate her, then a 21-year-old church secretary, into having sex. “He just believed that everybody should serve him because he was serving God,” she said of Bakker.

The problem little Jessica is that Jim Bakker thought he was GOD—

I am surprised she’s also angry at herself for being in the hotel room. And for reacting to this experience and the sudden media glare by making “ maybe her only, not the best choices” over the years that followed –

NOTE: Including posing nude three times in Playboy. Maybe three bad choices, three times, I don’t think so, she is very pretty, unusually and all naturally well endowed, statuesque, and fell into the limelight — AND got paid well —

HAHN SAID “I really grew up with the Bakker's (on TV), thinking, ‘I’d love to be in that family. They’re always singing and happy.’ I loved her. I loved her makeup, the stupid makeup. That’s what we did in church: We wore a lot of makeup and big hair.” Hahn said, "she felt guilty when she talked with Jim Bakker’s one-time wife during her last days”. These days, Hahn keeps a lower profile than she did for many years. But she has ventured into social media in the last year or so, writing Facebook posts she calls “pretty dull and sweet.” Yup!

Asked about the sexual harassment charges against Trump, Hahn said he’d like to see “ Solid proof” that the allegations weren’t politically motivated. “Accusations sometimes are too freely thrown out there,” she said. “Sexual harassment is not a game. The office of the president is also not a game. Respect and truth need to be applied on both sides.”

ED- Never happen! Obviously, she is still a child naive and lost — T-RUMP has no idea what truth is — lots of what he says and does is on tape — If you are not sold you are still naive —

When Playboy founder Hugh Hefner died in September, Hahn tweeted about her affection for the media tycoon in whose magazine she posed nude decades ago: “Rest in peace Hugh Hefner. I will always love you and will never forget you. You changed my life forever. Thank you. Hug God for me.” ( Well hug somebody)

She acted in a few movies, “ things that were silly,” and worked on some sitcoms – Hahn dated Ron Leavitt, co-creator of TV’s “Married ... with Children” for 15 years, until his death in 2008. “But,” she added with a laugh, “I’m not the greatest actress.” (We know that)

“God is still the first and most important thing in my life. The only person I really talk to,” she said. “My faith is strong. I still believe in God more than ever. It wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t his mess.” Right, but you support T-RUMP and an old Sioux proverb says, “ Which is worse he who sings the songs of the liar or the liars - they are the same”.

BAKKER AND T-RUMP — A TWO MAN SCUMBAG CONVENTION —

Jessica Hahn? After helping to bring down televangelist Jim Bakker she went from celebrity to Playboy model to Phoenix radio host. 2017 — Disgraced televangelist Jim Bakker crawled out of a crack in the national baseboard recently to declare that Christians must “love” Donald T-RUMP.
“You know what? Trump is a test whether you’re even saved. Only saved people can love Trump,” Bakker said. Not only did his ludicrous statement light up the internet, it reminded us that in the late 1980s Baker was exposed for the scandal that brought down what then was the powerful evangelical Praise the Lord (PTL) empire.
Who writes his sh*t for him?
I was at the press conference in August 1988 when the radio station introduced Hahn as the newest member of their morning show. She walked into the press conference wearing a short, white-leather skirt, high heels that were very white and very high, and a white T-shirt with the logo of the radio station. A few months later, in December of that same year, after the radio station dumped her, Hahn agreed to speak with me.
😢 Bakker was convicted in 1989 and released from prison in 1994. Hahn never quite got a reprieve. Ironically, Hahn now supports T-RUMP, She is in her late 50s, now, married and living on a ranch with her stunt man husband.
🥹 She recently told The Charlotte Observer, “People used to say, ‘Jessica, you kept quiet for eight years. Why?’ Well, there were a million reasons. These women coming out now – there were a million reasons. ... It’s like the power position is abused in every lifestyle, whether it’s politics, religion or business.”
😩 She said of those dealing with abuse, “If somebody’s hurting you, you’ve got to come out and say something because they’ll keep doing it. Because they think they’re above you and better than you. That’s not the truth. And it will affect your life if you don’t. It will affect you later on in life.”
😩 Jim Bakker, scumbag and liar says God told him, ‘I put Donald Trump on earth to give you time, the church, to get ready.’ (For end times.)” He says the faithful must “ love Trump,” as if such a man knows anything about faith. Ironically (or is it incongruously, or paradoxically, or inexplicably?).
😩 Jessica Hahn is known to sport MAGA gear hats and shirts — Fox News and, yes, a big supporter of Donald T-RUMP. gear, she is a fan of . It seems she never learned a damn thing, about liars and frauds, scumbags and she accepted and got what was given to her. Both Bakker and Donald will pay one day and it won’t be money.
😩 The seed that was planted, but was not for her, Bakker, T-Rump and others are not for you or me, they are for themselves. Had she come forth early and presented her case, it might have had a different ending. But $279,000 dollars is a convincing argument. But it also put her out of touch with people that could have offered her a career.

SCREWED BY FALWELL, DOUBLE TEAMED BY SWAGGERT —

Following Bakker’s resignation as PTL head, he was succeeded in late March, 1987, by Jerry Falwell. Falwell another bablical bullshitter was the Supreme Ayatollah of God’s mirth till Pat Robertson came along who stole the show with his utterly incredible bullsh*t. And people joked that he had GODS cellphone number. The level of which lie superseded the size of the male appendage on a Brontosaurus.
Donations sharply declined in the wake of Bakker's resignation and the end of the Bakkers' popular PTL Club TV show, Falwell raised $20 million to help keep the Heritage USA Theme Park solvent, including a well-publicized waterslide plunge there. Most of which he kept. And unfortunately Fallwell did not drown. His version of walking on water He just slid his fat ass butt down the slide like most mortals leaving a huge wake due to a huge profile. And the water bill to refill the pool was outrageous.
The fall of television evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker has provoked a religious controversy with few equals in modern history. In the midst of the PTL scandal, evangelist Jimmy Swaggart has launched what some ministers see as "a Pentecostal Inquisition”. With Jimmy Swaggart playing the role of -"grand inquisitor”. Thats like Hitler being the guest speaker at the Holocaust Museam on the High Holy days —
At stake is the future of the Assemblies of God, a comparatively young movement founded almost 100 years ago in Hot Springs, Ark., which boasts 4.3 million adherents nationwide and until now has been one of America’s fastest-growing Protestant churches. But some clergymen warned last week of a denominational split.
At that time — Swaggart, the country’s most watched televangelist and, like Jim Bakker, an Assemblies of God minister, is striving to purge his church of what he sees as “ False doctrines,” “ Sorcery” and “ Fads" -- all alleged hallmarks of PTL, which stands for " Praise the Lord" and " People That Love." Some think it meant “ Pastors Love Loot”.
The lawyer for the evangelist Jim Bakker yesterday accused the television preacher Jimmy Swaggart of trying to take over Mr. Bakker's PTL Club ministry, an attempt he said had led to Mr. Bakker's resignation and confession of a sexual liaison. Mr. Swaggart denied the accusation on television last night, calling it ''absurd'' in an interview with Larry King on the Cable News Network. ''I don't know what I would do with PTL if I had it,'' Mr. Swaggart said.
Mr. Bakker's attorney, Roy Grutman, said earlier yesterday that Mr. Swaggart had spread rumors and given a newspaper ‘' exaggerated and distorted'' information about Mr. Bakker's affair, which occurred seven years ago.
Mr. Bakker and Mr. Grutman earlier said that there had been an effort to take over PTL Club, but they would not say who was behind that effort. The PTL Club - the initials stand for Praise the Lord - includes 500,000 members, a cable television network and a park.
Later yesterday, the Rev. Jerry Falwell said he had talked ''at length'' with Mr. Swaggart and was satisfied Mr. Swaggart had no designs on PTL. Mr. Falwell, the founder of Moral Majority, and replaced Mr. Bakker as head of PTL. Thats Nazi Himmler telling Nazi Goebbels the chief is OK and knows what he doing
On March 19, 1987, after the disclosure of a payoff to Hahn, Bakker resigned from PTL. Although he acknowledged that he had a sexual encounter with Hahn at a hotel room in Clearwater, Florida, he denied raping her. Bakker was the subject of homosexual and bisexual allegations made by John Wesley Fletcher and PTL director Jay Babcock, which he denied under oath. Rival televangelist John Ankerberg appeared on Larry King Live and made several allegations against Bakker, which both Bakkers denied.
Some friend.— Who says Evangelicals don't eat their own? Falwell called Bakker a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history." In 1988, Falwell said that the Bakker scandal had “ strengthened broadcast evangelism and made Christianity stronger, more mature and more committed”. He’s dead now but he should talk his son is no better, and plays politics with T-RUMP, one lies the other swears.
Bakker's son, Jay, wrote in 2001 that the Bakkers felt betrayed by Falwell, whom they thought, at the time of Bakker's resignation, intended to help in Bakker's eventual restoration as head of the PTL ministry organization. Kettles and pots each calling each other black. So common amongst crooks.
