Like I said about Jim Bakker...

Once a con man for Jay-zus, always a con man for Jay-zus.

Jim Bakker: Buy My Mexican Survivalist Food Because 'Things Are Coming'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 5/23/2016 12:50 pm

Televangelist Jim Bakker offered yet another extremely vague prophecy while pitching his survival food buckets last week, telling viewers to purchase his $100 “30-Day Fiesta bucket” because God told him that “major events” will occur at some point in the future. After recounting the Mexican food items in the Fiesta Bucket, which he says “passes the official Mexican test” and “is Mexican food that real-life Mexicans approve of,” Bakker told viewers, “I believe there’s going to be some events take place.” “I believe there’s going to be major events that’s literally going to, like a shot across the bow, is going to warn us,” he said. “God’s been dealing with me. I’m so unrestful about it because I know things are coming.”

Jim Bakker: God Told Me 'A Major Event' Will Take Place In The Future

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 5/12/2016 11:00 am

Last year, televangelist Jim Bakker prophesied that all sorts of bad things might happen on September 13 of that year, including typhoons, earthquakes, bombings, a financial collapse and/or an unspecified incident involving Pope Francis. Since none of those prophesies ended up coming true, Bakker has now started making much vaguer predictions, including one he delivered this week while pitching his famous food buckets.

There's also no doubt that con men like Jim Bakker will be right there to make a million bucks off of it, and my dad will be one of the ones that makes him rich.

She gets cancer and dies.

Jim never admits he was scum, never stopped being scum, still pulls in lots and lots of money.

Proof there is no "god."

Dry weather and volcanoes were going to burn the Earth several years ago. Wonder if he knows about the heat wave in India? Just wait there are newer and larger disasters to exploit. The elderly must be getting tight with their Social Security checks at least you get inedible food.

8. I wrote a paper on tar and feathering in High School 40+ years ago.

There were several methods available; oil and feathers most common, hot tar paddled on with feathers a more extreme version, or the ultimate a dunk in a cauldron of hot tar and feathers often fatal. Then there was the obligatory rail the hot cauldron resulted in being dangled under the rail, others rode it out of town. It beat hanging in many cases.
