Jim Bakker has a new scam...

[Archae]

A "miracle blanket."

The only miracle here is why this SOB is not back in JAIL.

1. The jail question is pretty simple...

This country lets moral monsters commit any depravity imaginable in the name of religion*.






*so long as that religion is some iteration of Xianity.

[marble falls]

2. "Each blanket made from four Trumpy Bear pelts."

[Raine]

20. ROFLMAO! 😂👍 nt

[hibbing]

3. What's it called again?

I must admit a deep dark secret, I used to watch him and Tammy Faye back in the day for entertainment purposes, it was some crazy ass shit back then too. I was just waiting for it to all come crashing down, and of course it did.

Peace

7. There was a woman on Saturday mornings..... she was a hoot.

And of course, Reverend Ike.... "You don't need to wait for your pie in the sky in the great bye and bye...

[Archae]

15. Saturday mornings had "Davey and Goliath."

Cripes, was that ever boring, waiting for Johnny Quest and Space Ghost.

[Raine]

21. "you can have it now with ice cream on top" I used to watch Reverend Ike too

he was very entertaining, I got a real kick out if him!

26. --- and the parade of Cadillacs in Washington Heights.

[Archae]

14. Couple friends and I would do the same thing...

Watch him and a couple others, just for laughs.

The guy lampooned as the "farting preacher," that guy who found just about any and every world event was the latest "sign of the endtimes," and who can forget, going down that water slid in a suit, and "Boo hoo hoo, I have sinned..."

[walkingman]

4. There are far more lunatics that most people realize.....scary and sad.

[Bev54]

5. He is watching all the Trumpers grifting and making money

and wants in on it, he just cannot help himself.

[David__77]

6. That's like a parody of this "prosperity" religion.

…

[niyad]

8. He's still alive??

[BigmanPigman]

16. My reaction too.

[RainCaster]

9. He should send them to the Dominion defendants

Rudy & friends could use them.

[Maraya1969]

10. My parents were members of the originally scammed - way back when they bought

into that theme park. I think for every $1k you got a certain amount of time at this hotel, which I did go with them once and it was beautiful. The problem was it was only partially finished and Jim Baker was pocketing most of the money.

[SCantiGOP]

18. And, they sold every unit 3-4 times

Nobody could book the stays they had purchased.

[llmart]

32. I used to live about a 20-minute drive from that park.

Used to take visitors there to see it so they could get a laugh. That place just creeped me out.

Sign seen at the entrance to the water park: "Only Christian bathing attire is allowed." I used to think, "WTF is Chrisitian about bathing attire?" I so wanted to walk up there in my birthday suit and see if that was Chrisitian enough for them.

I ran into Tammy Faye at the local mall and she looked worse in person than she did on screen, and that ain't sayin' much. She used to put her makeup on with a trowel.

[North Shore Chicago]

36. Tammy certainly was the butt

of numerous make-up jokes.

Closer to her death however, she attempted at amends and she had quite the following of many gay men. The line to sign her book in Atlanta was quite lengthy.

[marble falls]

38. Some group or another waylayed her and stripped off the makeup, and they found ...

... Jimmie Hoffa.

[wcmagumba]

11. Unfortunately had to meet him twice when I was a manager at a Branson...

theater years ago for a season...total a-hole...was and is....

[RussBLib]

12. anyone who sends him money

should be committed

[3catwoman3]

13. He certainly didn't reform himself after his...

...time in prison.

What a despicable individual.

[LeftInTX]

28. I think it's in his DNA or something....

I don't think there is any reform among televangelists...

[BigmanPigman]

17. Not a Bernie Madoff but pretty damn close.

[keithhs28]

19. Venus Veil

Not be outdone - John Oliver has the 'Venus Veil' - a sexual wellness blanket. (/s)

[Celerity]

23. Nazi-era fuck blanket!

Insane they got it right on mid to large market telly.

[SergeStorms]

22. I'm sure the faithful are lining up....

to send their money to Jimmy Grifter.

The thing is, if they put their Bill's beneath that $1000 their bills would be paid!

If I wasn't born with scruples and a conscience I would have been a wonderful - and wealthy - preacher. Oh well. At least I can look at myself in a mirror and still see a reflection.

[OneBro]

24. Scamvangelism is so easy they've gotten lazy.

They probably laughed uproariously when they came up with this one, then dared each other to come up with something more idiotic. This is what happens when marks willingly hand their wallets to pickpockets.

[LeftInTX]

29. Scamvangelism...LOL

I think they need a 12-step program

"I'm Jim and I'm a scamvangelist..My god as I see god tells me to scam"

Not much hope...

[keithbvadu2]

25. Send him an IOU for it and place a certified copy under the miracle blanket.

Send him an IOU for it and place a certified copy under the miracle blanket.

Let's see if Jim has the faith that he will get paid.

[LeftInTX]

27. Like any crook, he can't stop

[lindysalsagal]

30. I'm almost tempted to buy one just so I have grounds to sue him for fraud. I hope a lawyer does.

[lindysalsagal]

31. Let me guess: This is an item that is not returnable....

[Tracer]

33. A long time ago, when Bakker was doing the PTL Club,

he and Tammy Faye lived across the street from my sister in Charlotte, NC.

She (my sister) told me that the neighbors called the "PTL Club" the "Pass The Loot Club".

34. Jim Baker is one of the best graduates from the

University of Let us Prey!

37. How many of your bills

could 1k pay?

He has been a sleazeball as long as I can recall.
