Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Oral Roberts, Billy Ghrahm, David Duke... They
all continue to have thousands of followers even after they suffer repeated
exposures of what they really stand for by the media.
How do they do it? How do they manage to teach their followers not to think
to the point where ANYTHING can be ignored-away? From using their own
cult's funds to buy air-conditioned dog houses to repeated rape of children,
how do televangelist continue to bilk the ignorant and get away with fraud?
Here's a one-line explanation offered by Ken Young to the following:

I find your reply confusing.
Please respond using simple English so that your point and be understood.
A "little Truth" can be dangerous.. don't you agree?
Have you met "the man"?
Have you "heard" him preach?
Have you seen his "fruits of the Spirit"?
Have you spoken to anyone in "authority"?
Have you "thought" about the harm that you are doing to Jimmy
Swaggart, his family and to his ministry?
I have asked myself these questions.
Would you like to discuss this further?
Respectfully,

Another very strange phenomena in this cultist's rantings is the strange
inability to discern when to enquote words and phrases. You'll see more
of this unusual phenomena in some of this cultist's other rants offered
below. The behavior is motivated, I believe, by the need to impress
upon himself the assumption of importance of these words and phrases. It's
anybody's guess, though, what an accurate explanation of the behavior would
be.

I am sorry that you feel that The Swaggart Ministry is a cult.
Thank you for your clarification ib regard to your sources of information.
Newspaper articles and online commentaries aren't your best source.
Again, I invite you to go to Baton Rouge abd "see".
I traveled 1300 miles to "see" for myself.
Perhaps your agenda is not to search for the truth but to sensationalize
on the opinions of other uninformed representatives of the media.
I would suggest that you contact the National Examiner...
They have spent untold millions in an attempt o destroy people...
While "bashing" Swaggart on their front cover they decided it was time
again to "revive" the Eddie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds divorce 21 years ago.
By the way... what are your literary credentials?

It's a sad thing for a person to be this so unforgiving...I wonder if
you have never sinned....beware.....there is a God in heaven and he will
come back to get His people and judge us all....can you imagine being
eternally in the lake of fire.... I will pray daily for you .......and
YOU NEED TO GET THAT THING OFF THE INTERNET.....you're only condemning
yourself more and more....God bless and God forgive you
All of the thinking these cultists directed toward their deity constructs
doesn't help their hero any so it's quite certain such voodoo curses are
bound to have zero effect upon the educated among the populace.

Where does your information or I should say misinformation come from?
Certainly you wouldn't rely upon the tabloids or would you?
Why don't you visit the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge and "see"?
If you want to know more about this man of God please contact me.

It's curious how these cult followers always manage to ignore the fact
that their leaders get caught with their dicks in hand. Their leader's
actions and behavior aren't even subject to debate when they're caught
on video tape or get hauled in front of a judge for fraud.

dc> If you want to know more about this man of God please contact me.
Yes, please. I would like to know how many prostitutes your hero was
screwing both before and after he got caught with a hooker and her
7-year-old daughter in a hotel room.
Thanks in advance.
As for this "man of god," let's take a quick review of what
this "man of god" stands for:
-- Debra Murphree refering to Jimmy Swaggart, July 1988 --
"I was on my knees, doggie-style, with my feet hanging off the bed...
He pulled his jogging suit down around his ankles and left his T-shirt
on... He stuck it in and pumped a couple of time and pulled it out... He
was very easy. A few pumps and that was it. He'd just moan, and as soon
as he got done, he'd throw the rubber in the trash, tuck it in and walk
out the door."
"I asked him 'Do you want a date?' And he said, 'All I want to do is
jack off awhile and look at your tits."
When I seen him on TV, I'd mostly watch his motions, just to see how he
acted. The same voice. I said "God, what a freak. Kinky. Here he
is up there preaching for all this money and when I see him, he's kinky
and cheap."
When I first met him, he offered $10 to jack off, and I said 'No' and he
said, 'But I'm going to do it myself. You won't have to touch me.' And
I said 'No, I won't do nothing under $20. Even if you want to look at my
titties, you have to give me $20'.
"Would you ever think about letting her watch us?" -- quoting
Jimmy Swaggart asking about her nine year old daughter.
He'd ask "Have the cops been hot?" and sometimes I'd say
"Yes" and he'd get nervous and leave.
"He'd ask me if I'd ever let anyone screw my daughter when she was
that young, and I said, 'No, She's only nine years old.' He asked me if
she started developing [breasts] or if she had any hair down there. I
said 'Nooo...' he even asked me if pussy was real tight or not...
sometimes he used the word cunt... 'I can picture my cock going in and
out of a pussy like that,' he said... I didn't know what to say. I though,
'This man's got to be sick."
Another interesting fact is that Jimmy got pulled over for weaving down
a road upon suspicion of drunk driving. He was weaving while trying to
stuff pornographic magazines under the seat of his car. There was another
prostitute in the passenger side. Cult leaders are often quite amusing.
Update On Swaggart - Walk Away, Spring 1989
Hard times have fallen on former Assemblies of Gawd evangelist Jimmy
Swaggart. His ministry plummeted after the world learned that he paid a
New Orleans prostitute to engage in "pronographic" acts with
him. More reciently, Penthouse alleged that Swaggart had been preoccupied
with still another woman. The woman, a housewife who worked as a stripper,
detailed her bizzare relationship with Swaggart.
Just over a year ago, Jimmy Swaggart Bible College was bursting at the
seams with 1,500 students. A $9 million dormitory was under construction.
Now, the unfinished building stands empty. All but 400 students have left.
Additionally, 600 employees have departed. Some 90 or so, of them AOG
ministers who were given the ultimatum from their denominational
headquarters -- "Swaggart or us, make your choice."
Swaggart reciently admitted that his haul was a mere $100,000 a day,
half of what he needed to survive. And on another front, he still faces
$90 million lawsuit from New Orleans preacher Marvin Gorman. Gorman has
charged that Swaggart tried to destroy _his_ ministry through accusations
of immoral conduct.
While Swaggart presses on, he blames the publishers of Penthouse for his
problems. "They are demon-possessed... There is nothing they won't
do."
"We should not make any agreements with the Soviet Union... they can
sign all the peace treaties they want. They won't do any good. There are
dark days coming... It's going to get worse... I'm not planning on going
through the hell that is coming. The Lord will descend from heaven with a
shout. My Lord! I'm happy about it! He's coming again! I don't care who
it bothers. I don't care who it troubles. It thrills my soul!"

It's hard to believe he'd embarrass himself to this extent in order to make
excuses for a scumbag televangelist. Swaggart's car was seen REPEATEDLY in
the parking area of the No-Tell Motel. Somebody put a bug in a reporter's
ear.
There you have it: Swaggart wasn't fornicating with prostitutes, no, he
was counseling hookers and "conducting research."
Take a glance at some of the freakish rants we've received from various
cultists desperately trying to defend Jimmy Swaggart's supposedly immoral
behavior:

Ironic, huh? Note the disjointed, meandering, illiterate rant prefaced with
an appeal to use simple English. <smile> Love it. Cult followers
are highly amusing when their leaders are exposed.

The disjointed ranting is getting worse, huh? Now we have huge conspiracies
involving millions of people. Presumably Jimmy Swaggart can save them.
Provided they secretly meet at a sleezy motel, it would seem.

Is it just me or is every cult follower who worships Jimmy Swaggart an
uneducated moron living in constant fear of the very gods they create?

And now the cultist attempts to appeal to Authority by claiming to be a
doctor and listing "credentials" which -- to a cultist -- no
doubt is quite impressive.
Debra McMurphree said he [Jimmy Swaggart] asked her to bring her
10-year-old daughter along because he thought slipping it into that tight
little pussy would be quite a hoot. And THIS is your idea of somebody
to respect!!??
Yes. After all, he admitted he did something wrong, didn't he?

I know. Yes, I know. I just couldn't resist twisting the knife just a
little. Imagine the amusement which will arise after the completion of
the Jimmy Bakker exposures I'll be posting to the web site. That should
really bring these cult followers out in large numbers.
It's important to note that the truth about Jimmy Swaggart came out
_after_ he was caught. It's also important to point out that Murphree
didn't look for and then speak to reporters about Jimmy. She was hammered
by the media _after_ Jimmy was caught with his dick in hand.
Now we know where his followers acquire their freakish, disjointed rants,
huh?
