if you believe in such things.

There’s no hell. Just glad that asshole is dead.

'What took the Hell so long?"

maybe I'm mixing him up with other Hell-bound grifting TV preachers like Pat Robertson.

I assume that worthless criminal grifter had died in some squalid hell hole years ago.
Good riddance to bad garbage. If I believed in an actual "Hell" he would be one of the rotational gatekeepers for sure.

--with the pup.... Clearly THEY knew something...

To a hateful, greedy waste of good air.

He is 85 years old, and his health hasn't been that great in recent years. He has battled strokes, so he is absent from his television program quite a bit.

Mainly because of the leadership of that fat orange racist homophobic imbecile.

I thought the f6cker was already dead.

I thought he was already dead!

I thought so too!

yes indeed

I hope he was in pain.

I assumed his body was rattled by VD and he'd have succumbed sooner.

That would be a fitting way for him to live the rest of his pathetic, soulless days.

Charlatans and con men, every damn one of them.

Just like I've never had any respect for doctors and psychiatrists who go on TV (Dr. Joyce Brothers; Dr. Oz; "Dr." Phil, etc.) I think they demean their professions.

As for Jimmy Swaggart, I don't celebrate his death, but I don't mourn it, either. I really don't care.

Updated: ambivalent was the wrong term to use. I guess I didn't really know the meaning of it like I thought I did.

She's a brave woman who stood up to that fat orange hate-filled bastard. She spoke those touching words at the Washington Cathedral!

Good riddance.

Back in my young, dumb and stupid days, friends and I would spend time at Gilleys club. It closed down in the 1980's or 1990's due various legal issues. Good times.

"I don't care, do U?"

Love it!

Darn! I missed.

too late.

They just lie and call it fake news.

They'll keep telling me he's dead, and I just love hearing them say that!

If he repented his sins and truly accepted Jesus Christ as his savior while living, he has been forgiven of his sins and has not been relegated to Hell. It is never too late to do so.

However,the record reflects less repent than respent of millions of donations dollars for dubious purchases.

Kill, maim, torture, steal, blasphemize, etc and it's all just fine as long as you say the magic words before you go.

I don't buy it and I think it permits alleged Christians to do their worst because they can just wish it all away later.

I won't miss him one bit.

If there is a hell you know he's there.

Perfect timing.

I'm now against medical research dramatically extending our lives.

Could you imagine what our world would be like if these people could live healthy lives for hundreds of years?!?

Swaggart: "Can I take it with me?"
Satan: (laughs)

Jimmy Swaggart has died, so (quoting myself here) 'GOOD!'

Jimmy Swaggert is dead.

Good.

some good news for today.

“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure,”
Clarance Darrow

Never mind. Found it!

Good riddance you POS!

One less vote for their side.

Thank God!

Hey Jimmy, I’ll bet that’s not the Baton Rouge heat you are feeling now… I’m thinking it’s some other hot place you deserve to spend eternity.🔥

At least Ozzy outlived him!

I wonder if his family and associates see how tarnished his legacy is that the prominent WP included this

Rival televangelist Marvin Gorman, who died in 2017, was responsible for it. Swaggart publicly smeared him with adultery charges, but what Swaggart didn't know apparently Gorman had a son who was a cop. That cop kept tabs on Swaggart, ultimately discovering he was cavorting with prostitutes like Debra Murphree. Swaggart was caught with Murphree at an Airline Highway motel in Metairie, Louisiana, and the rest is history. Gorman sued Swaggart for defamation for $10 million, but it was settled out of court for $1.8 million.

Swaggart had been in the forefront of ousting Jim Bakker, along with Jerry Falwell and John Ankerberg, when Bakker had taken some time off to go to California to take care of then-wife Tammy Faye, who was dealing with ill health and substance abuse issues. It was the perfect opportunity for those people to try and seize control of PTL, which they did. Bakker was never allowed back. Swaggart for his part did this as revenge because Bakker yanked Swaggart's show from his network. Swaggart was increasingly engaging in anti-Catholic rants, and Bakker wanted nothing of the kind on the PTL Network, which broadcast in many Catholic-dominated countries.

Marvin Gorman's lawyer went into detail about the Swaggart scandal in his book, Let Us Prey.

As for Swaggart, he is a prime example of FAFO.

- just the seemingly never ending headlines of disgraced evangelical leaders.

What we got in the media just scratched the surface.

It is endlessly fascinating. I watched most of those shows years ago.

They will shiv you the second they have the chance. You are not considered a "brother", you are a rival that is taking "donation" money from them. Thus, they want you out of the way.

cutthroat it was and is.

Tammy Faye Messner had little good to say about Jerry Falwell because Falwell took over PTL in order to get the satellite network. He deliberately bankrupted PTL in order to get it, but in the end, he failed. Compared to many of his rivals, Jim Bakker was a saint. Swaggart, Falwell, John Ankerberg and others undercut Bakker when Bakker went to Palm Springs in order to be with Tammy when she was having ill health and substance abuse problems. These snakes wouldn't let Bakker back. Swaggart knew about the Hahn payoffs and other things, but he was out for revenge when Bakker kicked him and his show off his network for the anti-Catholic rants.

Well earned Jimmy!
