Tammy Faye is calling you home, Jim

Jim Bakker is 85 years old, and he’s still running his scam.

Televangelist Jim Bakker needs 1,000 people to donate $1,000 each to save his ministry: If they foreclose on this ministry, they will take my house too, so I’ll be on the street.

Yes, please. Shut down this scoundrel’s ministry and toss him out on the street.

I notice that he relies heavily on the old “seed money” con. If you give him money, he claims, Jesus will reward you with even more money, even if the truth is that handing your seed corn over to the old fraud really means he’ll be snacking on popcorn watching you fail and die.

People still fall for it.
