July 2, 1987 Interview on GMA With Jim & Tammy Bakker

[segundooron]

Poor Tammy says in this video that she and Jim have never put money first then swore to God that she never did. Then Jim proceeds to say that his salary was ONLY 500k the year before. Then Tammy talks about how she buys clothes and wears them only once then gets rid of them. Jim then goes on to say that an investigation would be the best thing to happen to him and history will prove that the Bakers were "HONEST PEOPLE". He then quotes the bible some more. Jim Baker makes me sick, always has.

[tontobones]

you American christians are dumb.Listen to what he says"My take home pay was only $500,000.Now look at your pittance of a pay and ask ,is this right

[fran9860]

Jim took it up the ass and Tammi is burning in hell.

[SeanMBryans]

@fran9860 Let he (or she) who is without sin . . . Sure you know the rest.

[AloneAndOld]

Keep in mind, these people faced their accusers squarely; I myself have been well off before, and believe me, a million dollars doesn't go that far when you're dealing with the public...

[lurch321]

R.I.P., Tammy, R.I.H., Jerry.

[atmitch95]

She only wears clothes 2 or 3 times and gives them to the good people of PTL

[mijepraht]

What a pair of buffoons....

[seatboi]

@CICINNATTIGIFTS: PLEASE... for ALL our sakes (yours, Jim Bakkers, Mine & ANY LEVEL-HEADED CHRISTIANS out there). DIS-ABLE COMMENTING ON THIS VIDEO....WE KNOW the FACTS.. The facts that JIM & TAMMY WERE ACQUITTED & THE JUDGE WHO PROSECUTED THEM FIRED FOR WRONGLY ACCUSING THEM! BUT IT GRIEVES MY SPIRIT TO SEE EVERYONE FIGHTING ABOUT IT! Jerry Falwell is DEAD (...for the wages of sin is DEATH) & the facts ARE..Jerry stole the PTL ministry & ran it into bankruptcy, Jim Bakker was found INNOCENT

[Bravesrtops]

@seatboi Uh yeah, except he wasn't.

[adbartels]

These two look more like cartoon caricatures than human beings.

[adbartels]

I am a Christian- I must resist the urge to put my hands around the necks of "people" like this and squeeze . I do not know if they ever repented (the weird chick before she died) for the gold plated bathroom fixtures and all of the other horrendous crap they did to drag the name of God through the sewer. The spirit of God within me hopes they have repented. I can't believe there are people posting here defending what these monsters did.

[CincinnatiGifts]

@adbartels- Please recheck your facts.... there never were gold-plated bathroom fixtures. The fixtures seen and reported on were none other than ordinary brass-colored fixtures available in any home improvement store in any town across the US. And Tammy Faye, the "weird chick" was the most incredible, most loving person that ever walked this earth. Unless you have ever met her, or been to Heritage USA, you are in no position to judge. Let he who is without sin to cast the first stone.

[adbartels]

@CincinnatiGifts When it comes to "folks" like this takin Grandma's social security money and appropriating it the way they did I am gonna throw stones all day long. Then to hear that idiot say that Christ came preaching the prosperity gospel when he came to divide (Luke 12:51) and point people to the Kingdom of God and preached time after time against materialism. This dude's "theology" and self serving use of scriptures makes me want to vomit.

[TheFANOFET]

@CincinnatiGifts TRUE- I think those who show anger are , and were jealous. I say anyone who missed the TRUTH missed so much. THE TRUTH IS : The Bakker's built and worked hard.

[BWAYTENOR]

@adbartels

1."(the weird chick...)" -- nice 'Christian' talk there (sarcasm). 2. You did not know the Bakkers. I am currently involved in a production where I am playing the role of Jim Bakker, and the writers of the show met personally with Tammy Faye. The 'Gold' plated fixtures -- were BRASS. The 'dog house' was actually heated by an old discarded heater that Jim paid for with his own money because he felt sorry for the dogs. The media blew it out of proportion. Know the facts first.

[Kevinsniff]

Poor Tammy is gone and Jim now has a new wife and ministry.

[LASZLOBOY1]

you people who judge are strange, almost jealous in a way. The Bakker's built a city for you to enjoy. It was J F who pre planned to damage the Bakker's, and destroy the city of fun. He is the perfect example of Christian's are to be like oatmeal, without cinnamon.

[fishaman1980]

"I give away my old clothes"....LOL LOL LOL....How about buying them some "new" clothes instead of giving people your left overs!

[LASZLOBOY1]

to spread the word of God it takes money. The Bakker's did an amazing job of spreading God's word. If you were to walk to your car and drive to a church to worship God you spent money on fuel, and the bible clearly says to give.

[thelala22222]

@LASZLOBOY1 you are absolutley right. how dare people judge the way the Bakers spent their church donation money, I'm sure that they were all aware that their money was being used to pay the heat bills on the Bakers indoor pool, and to make car payments on his 4th marceedes. What is wrong with people.

[mortald]

pigs

[AZUREE100]

good by ? you mispell. Jim was not the bad guy here. Again why would any man tell another almost stranger let alone a different denomination take over his ministery had he had anything to hide or be ashamed to let go. ? Jim I feel was treated like a dog. Yet as those who chose to believe JF well as of to date he is answering after all these years as to his stealing HUSA-

[ThePixelChaos]

good by Jim! ehehehe! religious corruption, imagine that.

[CincinnatiGifts]

Corruption? Perhaps. But if that were the case, why wasn't he convicted on corruption charges? Why was Jim released from prison early? Why is he back on TV NOW?

Doesn't make sense, does it? If he were as corrupt as everyone thinks, would he even be let back on TV?

[ThePixelChaos]

@CincinnatiGifts simple. all religion is corrupted.

why do you need money to believe in a god?

why do we have to shell out?

oh wait i dont never mind.

[CincinnatiGifts]

Who ever said anything about NEEDING money to believe in God? Obviously, that''s a stupid comment.

[ThePixelChaos]

@CincinnatiGifts lol he did

and his followers say "give a tithe"

and christians always are asking for donations.

you dont follow your religion too well christian.

now piss off, jim got what he deserved. and you cant change it.

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos Go back to your garbage can, you idiot. You are obsessed with Jim and Tammy Bakker and hating Christians. Get a freaking life !

[ThePixelChaos]

@jennaboon this was two fucking months ago you religious zealot basty nastard. you follow your own advise and get out of your little shell of a life and breathe in some reality you fuckin twit.

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos  Oh you hurt my feelings you fucking cum wad. Fuck me and my family ? Is that the best you can come up with you patheic loser ? Shut the fuck up and go give your father his daily blow job. By the way asshole, got your IP address.

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos Go back to you trailer park, you filthy piece of crap. You're ignorance is laughable. Keep judging me you filthy piece of crap, go on. You're such a loser, nobody cares what you think ! You can say all you want about not having an avatar or friends or whatever, you think of whatever your 5th grade mentality can come up with. Fuck OFF. 

[AZUREE100]

@ThePixelChaos Dear GOD WHAT A BUNCH OF FILTHY TROOL'S...AND TO THINK GOD MADE YOU ?? All i can say is clean up your act, Hell is a frightning place.

[jennaboon]

[ThePixelChaos]

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos Oh boo hoo you hurt my feelings. 

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos Up yours, whore.

[ThePixelChaos]

@jennaboon are you still talking you stupid cunt? shut the hell up you religious zealot! in the name of your god, fuck off!. oh wait that wont work you didn't see the show did ya?

ah oh well. keep it up nutcase. your just proving how retarded your religion is and this stupid schmuck Jim was.

[jennaboon]

@ThePixelChaos lol lol lol @ you, psycho. I feeel sorry for you. Go take your medication, psycho.

[excelsior544]

@ThePixelChaos Woo! Talk about a broadbrush! TV preachers generally are ABOMINATIONS it's true. But if Puerto Ricans steal your hubcaps, do you label all PR's thieves?

[southernpreacher]

@ThePixelChaos if we don't give money to church and we will have no building and if we do there will be no electricity there those who don't believe in giving to ministry should just sit in the dark when they go to church that is if they are a believer, everything in this cost money in this world and spreading the gospel is no different. The bible says if we don't pay our tithe that God will put a curse on our life and everything we touch

[GodMedia]

@CincinnatiGifts Have you watched his program now? It's basically a home shopping network. Bakker spends 99% of the show pushing "miracle" medicines, end-times survivalist gear, and extreme "health" food products. All of the proceeds go to keeping the show on the air selling more product.

[Bravesrtops]

@CincinnatiGifts Well, being sentenced to 45 years and a 500,000$ and then only serving less then five years seems corrupt to me. 8 counts of mail fraud, 15 counts of wire fraud, and one count of conspiracy. That is fucked up.

[Alathea871]

the beginning of the storm ..if only jim knew what was coming..

[gregzintx]

Gibson loved the word FIGHT- and it was fact F-WOLL literaly hired his own guards to tear open boxes of over 20 years ,a move takes a long time, and they were forced from Tega Cay overnight- That was nasty- tAMMY SAID THEY WERE SO TIRED THEY ACTUALY LEFT ALOT ,

[gregzintx]

Again given the timeline of Jerry being KING at PTL Only GOD will know how I feel he tampered with book's, and in greed lied- How were the Bakkers ever in fair game able to defende themselves ?

[CincinnatiGifts]

Jim was not even allowed to acquire videotapes of old PTL Club shows for his trial defense because those tapes were locked up on PTL property, which were pretty much off limits since PTL, and all its' possessions were under the authority of the bankruptcy court.

Those videos woud have proven Jim innocent.

Somehow the prosecution was allowed access to those tapes, because they used some of them in the trial.

[gregzintx]

I get just what you mean about the prosecution being allowed them, The defense should have had a right, It seems maybe all timing was set in place by FOULWELL- These tapes clearly show inniocence- I would have rather Judge Potter shoot me than to had to set under his rants, and unGodly ethics in a court of law-

[gregzintx]

Yes you are correct, Gibson was one sided , all the way- !

[gregzintx]

WOW- I had never seen this ! AGAIN , WOW !

Ok so the word, FIGHT- it looks sad to hear that word, FIGHT is an unfair question on the part of Charles Gibson- He ask good questions, but were they fair, or against The Bakkers- THAT LITTLE DOG---LOLOL- This is just too cool-
