Earl Paulk

I'm not defending what he did, but preachers are human, born with the same sin condition we all are.  Let God be his judge. He is the only one who is supposed to anyway.

Paulk was a dirty dog. he died today

These occurrences lets us know that no minister should be put upon a pedestal. When we do that, we open ourselves up to great disappointment in the future. The ministers are not gods. They are human being who are just as fallible as the rest of us.

All a minister has to do is give in the sexual fantasies that many people are confronted with. I hate to see this happen to the congregation more than anything.

Paulk died near midnight Saturday at the Atlanta Medical Center, a nursing supervisor confirmed to CNN. The bishop had been at the hospital for several days, she said.

Paulk's death came after an "extended and horrible battle with cancer," Paulk's nephew, Bishop Jim Swilley, wrote in a blog post.

But his success as a preacher was overshadowed time and again by allegations of sexual impropriety.

Bishop Earl Paulk, a charismatic preacher brought down by a series of sex scandals, has died. He was 81.

i used to watch this church on tv every sunday PREPARING TO GO TO MY OWN CHURCH....i never knew anything like this would happen!!!! and mona brewer, she was always singing a solo...I REMEMBER HER!!! this just blows me away!!!

Sad... and even worst, I think his grand-daughter is telling the truth. I dont know if he still minister's but if he does, they should sit him down. And being that this woman was molested and or raped since childhood he should not be allowed around any children. His sincerity should be questioned as he did not confess right away, but only when other allegations were up and coming. A shamefull abuse of authority! May God show him more mercy, then he showed his victims.

What is wrong with that congregation??????

Bishop Earl Swaggart

Whatever 'call' a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to live holy, he has not been called to the ministry.
