Jim Bakker and his survival buckets: Bad Acid Trip remix...

[backscatter712]

[Siwsan]

1. That looks like cafeteria service for Jonestown

Seriously - who the hell would be able to use up those gigantic buckets of sludge, before they turned fatally toxic?

I think old Rev. Jim's sand is fast running out of his hourglass.

[Warpy]

3. Maybe the LORD coming with FIRE

will BAKE the contents into a tasty CAKE.

Or it will turn into cement or something.

[63splitwindow]

2. The fact he has followers helps explain Don the Con.

[Frustratedlady]

5. Well, I guess I'm not nuts. My first thought was of Jim Jones and the drink they passed out...

The second was what would people do with that bucket of slop? My third was The Donald and his followers.

Very few of those people were cheering him on. They looked frightened (which Bakker is good at pulling off), but not convinced the soup was the way to go. I wonder how much they charge per bucket and how many they sold? Gag!

My last thought is Bakker's handlers are watching him on his way out...he's seriously lost it.

[cynzke]

17. KEPT YELLING I'M FINE, I'M FINE.

And I was hoping SOMEONE in the audience yell back.....No you're not, your obviously nuts! And that bye bye, bye bye, bye bye. Sounded like a toddler.

[backscatter712]

13. Yeah. This clip is creatively edited (hence the bad acid trip)...

...but when I watch the unedited portions of The Jim Bakker Show on Right Wing Watch, it's pretty clear that there's nobody in the audience with an IQ over 50...

[byronius]

4. That was truly a bad trip. "I'm fine!!"

[cynzke]

18. WHO NEEDS WATERBOARDING?

WHEN YOU CAN FORCE SOMEONE TO WATCH THIS!

[3catwoman3]

22. Exactly. I bailed...

...at the halfway point, and even that was too long.

[backscatter712]

27. You missed the best food scenes!

It had the best of Bakker bucket cuisine...

[3catwoman3]

28. If I had watched anymore, I fear I...

..would have been ing.

[backscatter712]

31. It's the seasoning! It's the texture!

It's... so... good!!!

[Person 2713]

6. $1100 for 1/2 year supply of corn gruel, dried potato soup and a sack of beans and rice

9. Take that on Shark Tank and they will be fighting over who could fund the business. n/t

[RBInMaine]

7. This crook and swindler ought to be right back in jail. He should also apply to the Trump campaign.

[paleotn]

8. Once a con man, always a con man...

...aren't those clowns supposed to be "raptured" already?

[packman]

10. Painful to watch

Hard to believe him and Tammy were hauling in millions at one time. Jerry Falwell called Bakker " a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history" Bakker still owes the IRS 6.000,000$ in back taxes and fines.

11. Yeah, it's pretty clear he didn't learn a damned thing in prison.

As soon as he got out, he got a second wife with the IQ of a potted plant, and went back to televangelizing and grifting. The survival bucket racket's probably especially lucrative for him...

[cynzke]

19. BAKER CUT IN ON FALWELL'S ACTION!

[AlbertCat]

12. I tried to look away....

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. The Lord is coming with FIRE!!!!

Until then, we must eat this crap cold.

[xfundy]

15. My favorite quote from him:

"Stupid people keep sending me money!"

[3catwoman3]

16. I am never sure whether to feel sorry for...

...or scornful of people who fall for such patently obvious BULLSHIT.

Once a charlatan, always a charlatan.

And what the hell was that horn some audience members were blowing?

[Wise Child]

20. That is a shofar.

It's a ram's horn. I am not fond of this term, but I'm going to use it anyway, it seems that what they are doing is "cultural appropriation" from Judaism. There is a reference to a horn sounding in regards to the Second Coming, in Revelation.

This is confusing to me, because I'm assuming that Jim Baker is a believer in the Rapture, and that it is imminent thus why stockpile foodstuffs? Kind of like the mentality expressed on the bumper sticker "In Case of Rapture, This vehicle will be Unmanned!" Evangelicals who are enthusiastic about the Rapture do not bother with stockpiling.

I see that this is a cash cow for him. If the food stockpiling concept would become more popular, then people would find cheaper bulk foods, and other food production companies would try to make it cheaper. Some of what was presented looked like it was loaded with turmeric to give it that bright yellow color.

21. My apologies if the wording of my question was disrespectful.

I thought, by the sound and appearance of it, that a shofar was a possibility, but could not figure why people would have them at a fundie gathering. I hoped not, because I would have interpreted that as mocking Judaism.

Once a huckster, always a huckster. Bakker is despicable. So are his sucker followers.

I guess I will settle for feeling scornful.

[Wise Child]

23. No offense taken,

I'm not Jewish. I really don't concern myself with cultural appropriation. I was raised in a religious environment that involved a fair amount of "Judai-philia" expressed by Evangelical elders. Meaning they seemed to know more about Jewish traditions, customs and religion than your average Goy. I really don't know where they got the shofars, in my imagination, I'm thinking they bought really expensive souvenirs after they did a "Holy Land" tour of Israel.

For prophecy obsessed Fundies, there does seem to be, for lack of a better term, some "cultural appropriation". Like how they like to occasionally claim that the Rapture will take place on Rosh Hasanah ( I've heard Fundies refer to this as "The Feast of Trumpets&quot you know, because God works on Jewish time. Also, enthusiasm for the Temple being rebuilt, and Pentecostal ranchers who are trying to breed a red heifer, which I think, is meant for Temple dedication.

[Person 2713]

25. Thank you wise . I did not know all this bs about fundies. I have picked up with them having some

obsession with Israel and defending it with war if must be, and Judaism fawning but this explains a lot .
The shofars in the video he probably hawked to them at outrageously expensive price . I am imaging synthetic not even animal he is so bad
these people though are such sheep

[RandiFan1290]

24. Great editing from Vic Berger

Here is one from the RNC

[LuckyLib]

26. As grad students we would get stoned and watch

Jim and Tammy Faye, laughing our asses off. Cons to the core who raked in the money while believing their own BS.

[SCantiGOP]

29. I'm older than you

So our college stoned afternoon viewing was Dragnet.

[backscatter712]

30. Yep, and nothing's changed.

Well, Tammy Faye passed away, Jim got a new wife that's even dumber, and Jim himself mutated to look like Colonel Sanders. But he's still pure grifter.

[beda45]

32. Haha funny
