The thing is...Jim Bakker's repentance is very real...he lives a quiet life occaisionally helping out unobtrusively in his daughter's soup kitchen ministry or was the last time
I heard about him. He hasn't tried to claw his way back into the public light the way his wife has.

Swaggart strikes me very cold and wolf like in a veneer of lamb's clothing. Bakker was just all too human and swept up in a lifestyle and pressures that left him far from God.

The last picture I saw of him was one of deep and profound humiliation and sadness, a sampson shorn of his hair.

Perhaps God will put him in a place where like Sampson, he'll use Bakker to bring a spiritual Dagon's temple down someday!

Bakker has to lead a quiet life. He is forbidden to run a church. He was doing some speaking but I hear he got warned off by the law.

Jim Bakker has remarried, and his new wife drips with honey..

They live in Branson,MO..and they do indeed live well. He's still scamming the public, and living high off the hog for FREE these days.

He gets his home, food and house-hold help all provided for free from stupid people who think he and his wife are God's gift to the world..

You know, I have to agree with you on Bakker. I saw him on tv a few years ago and was blown away to some extent he credited Billy Graham's demonstration of real-life Christianity which also surprised me.

I have great respect for what he has become.

Hmm. I have to say I feel exactly the same way as you stated in post 41.
