When Jimmy Swaggert fell, what happened to him

All Jimmy's large congregation left except for a few dozen and all his money coming in dried up. I think he had to sell the land where he was building a college. He is still on tv at weird hours but no one will listen to him anymore. He really disgraced himself.

To me Jimmy Swaggert situation is like a double edgesword

First of all I don’t care for TV evangelist I use to enjoy Pat Roberson and his people interest stories.

He fell from grace and repented it was sort of creepy to me, yet who am I to judge on some level I am sure he might have been sincere

I think because of stumbling blocks he did the best he knew how the way he has always witness from other in how they thought it should be done!

Jimmy’s ‘problem’ was that he did NOT follow the course set out for him by his denomination to get back onto the path.

He had to do it HIS way; and the rest is history.
