Pathetic piece of trash...he is terrible

This is the piece of trash......

In 1987, scandal rocked the Bakker household and the PTL empire. It became public that seven years earlier, while at a Florida fund-raiser, Jim Bakker had left his daughter on the beach while he went to a motel room and had sex with secretary Jessica Hahn.

This revelation of their affair cost Jim his ministry and turned him and his wife into national laughingstocks. Tammy Faye, in particular, was ridiculed for her extremely heavy eye makeup.

The humiliation was difficult for son Jay. "I drank," he says, "I'd party … just to get away from it … I wanted to be someone else."

Soon after the affair became public, his father became besieged by legal troubles. Jim Bakker was convicted of fraudulently selling time shares and was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Jay, then 13 years old, watched the trial on television and saw his father have a mental breakdown.

If the truth be known, when Jim finally encounters God whom he claims to represent with his unrepentant, arrogant claim as a prophet: God might just ask him, " How many seniors did you con out of their life savings in order to support your lavish lifestyle ? How many followers had their faith diminished because of your despicable hypocrisy ? How many unbelievers felt justified because of you?"

Makes me feel relieved to just be a run-of-the mill sinner.

Tammy Faye Bakker was on VH1's The Surreal Life and, to me, she was a very nice lady. All of the cast loved her. After watching that I felt bad for making fun of her and Jim and Ms. Hann all of those years ago.
