Re: Disgraced televangelist Jimmy Swaggart dead at 90
From the People article linked above: Speaking during a prayer service on June 15, Swaggart’s son Donnie, who now runs his ministry, shared the news of his cardiac arrest and said, “Without a miracle, his time will be short,” WWLTV reported.
... I don't think I ever heard an e-skip opening to Louisiana without one of his stations, usually 88.3 in Bastrop, poking through the muddle. It was instantly recognizable. Hymns, lists of miracles (Daisy Smith cured of XYZ, and appeals for money. Relentless appeals for money. Every time I hear their stations, they're asking for money. Anyhow, guess they ran out of miracles, or he took a pass, or maybe son Donnie said 'enough!'

Interesting side note - his cousins were country singer Mickey Gilley and rocker Jerry Lee Lewis. We certainly know Lewis had plenty of sins to atone for!

Ah, the Bible Belt, one of the most unChristian-like areas of the formerly-United States of America.
Oh well, at least Beelzebub has a new event coordinator who really knows how to manipulate.

It's a sad day for the jackasses who followed that guy and threw money his way.
I remember not so long ago when Jerry Falwell died and the (unrestricted new Elon era) Twitter comments and images were worth looking at. A social media war!
Let's hope it's the same for Good Ole Jimmy!

My company in 2008 was based in Greenville, South Carolina. It's a wonderful place until you turn on the hotel TV and there's some old girl on a Hammond organ doing Hymns. And that's just 3 cable channels! Different world down in the Bible Belt. And no shortage of guns!

When you see how people have bowed down to this bombastic Bozo it is easy to see why so many gullible types have jumped aboard the Trump Train.

Gullible, and in some (many?) cases selfish.

Amen. And then there are the broadcasters who, knowing what a conman he was, happily put his 'show' on because they made money too. Disgusting all around.

It was more than money. Prostitutes. But the nutters think the likes of Swaggart and Orange are the hand of god...
