Desperate Jim Bakker Says His Ministry is Out of Money: ‘We’ve got maybe a Month’
Protestia ^ | May 8, 2025 | staff

Posted on 05/09/2025 8:53:38 PM PDT by Morgana

In a recent broadcast, televangelist Jim Bakker announced that his ministry is facing severe financial difficulties and may cease operations within a month without an urgent infusion of funds.

The last few years have not been kind to Bakker. A couple of years ago, the embattled Bakker had his credit card companies cut him off and reduced him to only taking checks to support his ever-dwindling ministry. This has made him desperate to hawk any prophecy, piece, or potion he can to keep the lights on, including selling a $1000 miracle blanket or having guests that claimed a Reptile Alien pretended to be her husband in an attempt to seduce her.

During his May 6 episode of The Jim Bakker Family Show, Bakker pleaded with everyone watching his show to give him $1000 to prevent them from going off air.

I believe if everyone that watches this program will give $1,000 we’ll be able to pay our bills and stay on the air. Otherwise we got about another- maybe a month, I don’t know, to stay on the air but…we’re at the end.

He later insisted that he has no money, has not taken a salary in four years, has been living on social security for 20 years, and that the carrier is about to cancel them. He later added that if his ministry is foreclosed, “they’ll take my house.’

If the Lord God is really in his ministry, He will provide whatever he needs. If not.. Let It Die, dude.

Well what happens if his ministry ends? Does satan come and take everyone away? Does he have to turn in his limo? Does he have to cut back to steak three times a week?

I feel like I should probably send him $5. He, Tammy Faye, and Jessica Hahn provided a lot of entertainment value before he got himself sent to prison. And then to make some sort of comeback where he needs a $Million to avoid foreclosure... Amazing! Unfortunately, he missed his true calling. He should have become a Demoncrat politician.

Buh bye. TBN, PTL all the name and claim it, including Orel Roberts( we need millions or God will kill me....tell me how they pull at the heart strings?
I’d be crushed if someone gave me a home and a plane and a car and paid my every way preaching the word.

Wait, ya’ll are welcome, really you are
But could I live with myself?

I live just above a hermit and have for decades.

Must be weird having GOD bless millions and all creature comforts on this planet...maybe I’m doing it all wrong?

What a sad end.

Seriously? The guy is 100% a grifter.

I used to watch video clips of his broadcasts on YouTube - strictly for entertainment purposes.

The only "sad" feelings I can muster are for the poor, deluded folk who were taken in by his sideshow malarky and/or bought his snake oil.

Regards,

How old is this guy?

He doesn’t own a piece of property and a means to pay his utilities?

Wild Thing
Sam Kinison lyrics

Wild thing, wild thing

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Everytime I kiss you
I taste what other men had for lunch

The only thing that can
Get you off, is to see me in pain
But I think, I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart scream
You took everything
Oh, wild thing

Wild thing, I think you move me
Ah, just came to my mind
I thought I’d say that

You made me trust you
Then stuck the knife in my heart
You’re a lying, unfaithful, untrustable tramp
But I think, I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart scream
You took everything
Oh, wild thing
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
You might also like

Kendrick Lamar
So High School

In Case I Ain’t Around
Luke Combs
Wild thing

Oh, we all got some kind of wild thing
That went through our lives and made it Hell
‘Cause everyone’s had one
You and me, nobody likes to lose

And you know she’s out there laughing at you
I don’t care if it was last week or third grade
Someone broke your heart, what was her name?

Wild thing, I’ll never forgive you
You make my heart scream
How do you live with yourself?
You took everything, you never loved me
Oh, wild thing, you used me

(Wild thing)
I hope you slide under a gas truck and taste your own blood
(You make my heart scream)
Why didn’t you tell me you were a Demon from Hell?
(You took everything)

You deserve the men your gonna meet, you loser
(Oh, wild thing)
Railroad bums, transients, out of work guys
(Wild thing)
Guys that are gonna use you like you used me
(Wild thing)
Guys that are gonna take money out of your purse
And crawl out a window
(Wild thing)
Oh, oh

(Wild thing)
What’s her name? Yeah

As a teenager, I watched him purely for the entertainment value. It was fun seeing all his construction projects coming together. Never paid mush attention to the whole prosperity gospel thing. Never gave a single penny.
