Televangelist Jim Bakker suggests that if you want to survive the end of days, the best thing you could do is buy one of his cabins in Missouri's Ozark Mountains. And while you're at it, be sure to pick up six 28-ounce "Extreme Survival Warfare" water bottles for $150.
Bakker, 78, made comments promoting his Morningside church community alongside his co-host and wife, Lori, on an episode of "The Jim Bakker Show," which aired Tuesday. The show is filmed there, near Branson.

Morphed from Prosperity Gospel Guru to Apocalyptic Prepper. No money to be made in the middle, I guess.
My grandma always voted Republican. Now that she is dead she votes Democrat.
I see plenty of people on here on JBs case and telling on how mean he is and speculating on his (lack of) salvation. I don’t know and I won’t speculate. He went to the pen and served his time. He recanted the prosperity gospel (for good reason). He said he got saved in prison. Who here really knows different? It’s pretty pathetic to feel superior to someone you don’t really know. Is Jesus incapable of saving Jim Baker or do you just don’t want him saved?
28-ounce “Extreme Survival Warfare” water bottles won’t do Fakker much good in the lake of fire.
Orange really is the new yuck!
I remember going to a theme park in N. Carolina in the late 70s when my in-laws came to visit while we were stationed Shaw AFB, SC. They were visiting from California and were into the PTL Club to a minor extent and since the PTL location was only a couple miles away we went there first out of curiosity. I was amazed and the obvious misuse of money, I’m talking herds of life size fiberglass cattle and other farm animals. Speed limits were posted in fractions like 4.35 MPH, a stange sese of humor I ecall thinking. It was only days later it all fell apart for the Bakers and when it did I remembered what I saw and was not surprised.
Scripture teaches that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Bakker’s “roots” ran deep.
One evangelist who was not FILTHY RICH was Billy Graham.
Doesn’t it seem strange that these “fakes” teach that money is the root of all evil and that their “sheep” should give as much of it away to them to prevent evil greed? Why...I’m shocked to see these “holy rollers” wealth and mind control over the “sheep” in their flock. Who has ever seen an evangelist known nationwide who is not FILTHY RICH or has all of the money in some type of trust in their name? If you believe in God...believe in God. If you believe in an Evangelist huckster...shame on you.
Died in 2007
Tammy seems to have had a sweet spirit. Very non-judgmental, and a strong faith. Her husband cheated on her and got arrested for defrauding their donors. She had cancer - twice. Her whole personal life was opened to the world to gawk at. Her personal appearance and makeup was slammed (looking at her today compared to trends today, it doesn’t seem so extreme). And yet, she could say in the end “all things work together for God to them who love God...”
Jim strikes me has having some genuine Christian attributes but the used car salesman dies hard. I don’t like his going back into the sales business and money emphasis. His show has had some interesting interviews and they don’t need that.
Lung cancer.
He is back in the crosshairs. His apocalypse food and cabins are getting the wrong kind of attention. Rhett and Link reviewed the apocalypse food on YouTube (Good Mythical Morning). Some was lousy and some not bad. But, they were clear they didn’t approve of him (and they have professed to be Christian in the past, though that doesn’t show in their show).
All of us are liars. All of us have stolen. Whether a false teacher, on some things I would agree. On essentials, not sure.
I read a more credible (IMO) prophecy teacher say that, if you insist on getting left behind, the Ozarks would be one of the better places to be. He called it “the Green Hell” and pointed out that it has all kinds of discomforts for the uninitiated (and that the natives would be a TOUGH bunch to control).
There was some tongue in cheek I think, but what he said about the Ozarks/Green Hell was real.
