    Cancer sucks and 65 is too young but if there is a heaven and a hell I guarantee she is sweating her @ss off now. She stole millions from elderly folk and she didn't live to be elderly.......

    My late Grandmother used to make us sit thru PTL every Saturday night. We put our hands on the TV for prayer and everything. She was so crushed when Jim was busted. So sad. It took me a little while to forgive them.

    Stocks in the makeup industry are going to take a sharp downward spiral Monday. We can now look forward to seeing her face in the news once more. :eek:

    Death is not a funny thing. That said, may she rest in peace.

    The fact still remains that I see a wasted building off in the distance, as a daily reminder on my commute to work of the fact that so many had given, given, given in the name of the lord. Many, many locals still get riled and you can see the veins in their heads pop out when this building and JB/TFB are brought up.

    All she had to do was ask for forgiveness and yes, God would even forgive her for her sins and spend the rest of her spiritual days in His glory. It could have been her dying breath. No one knows if she is in Heaven or not...

    That being said, RIP Tammy. My God watch over your loved ones.

    The facts?

    She stole millions of dollars from old people and spent the money on herself. When the well dried up and her husband went to jail she dumped him. She was a lier, a user and a thief.

    The elderly are no different than children. When they become weak and confused it is our responsibility to help them and protect them. I guess you feel differently. I spend many hours a week helping them for free. When I see they are being scammed or lied to by contractors or scammers I do my best to have legal action taken.

    I do not think for one second you can be a piece of chit your whole life and then ask for redemption at the end and all is forgiven. If you do then sit next to Hitler at the dinner table in heaven and enjoy your meal.

    There were plenty of people worse than her but in the end the karma she received was perfect. No growing old for her!!!!

    I'm no self righteous @sshole, but judging from your post.........

    ya, I’m gonna have to agree with a few people here. I don’t care if she "died". She helped scam millions and millions of dollars from a lot of people who just don’t know better in life, probably mostly elderly. Some of the worst con artists in the world who do it legally and even tax free! She knew she was doing it, she lived the good rich extravagant life for it while most the people she scammed probably couldn’t even afford to give them money, barely had food to eat. People don’t realize how hard the scam artists target hard core religious people. Who was that guy recently who sold pretty much bottled water to people for $25 a pop mail order. Said it was holy water. Guy made millions.

    Karma's a biotch!

    Tammy Faye Bakker was not even charged with any crime during the PTL scandal.

    No, she was not charged. But she also enjoyed the dozens of limo's, private jets, several vacation homes, and living in extreme luxury. She knew where the money came from, do you really think she believed that "god" wanted it spent that way, instead of helping others as they always claimed they were doing?
    i dont enjoy watching Vultures swooping down to attack anyone as soon as thier heart has stopped beating

    People have been attacking Tammy, and rightfully so, for twenty years now, why stop now?

    There you go again being judge mental only this time by your own admission. you dont know me from Adam so dont pretend to. you really seem to enjoy this whole sorrid PTL mess just a little bit too much.do you get off on watching pathetic people suffer and die ?

    First, go to the fridge, get some water and take your medicine.


    You called me a self righteous @sshole and a vulture and I'm the one being judge mental? Sorry pal, I believe you have it back wards.

    If you look at my first post I said that cancer sucks and 65 is too young to die.I never wished anything bad on her or said I was happy she had cancer or dies young. I just stated the facts. She stole millions from people who could not afford it. She spent the money on herself. Her husband protected her and did not implicate her and she dumps him for someone else when he went to jail. Yeah, she was a real catch. Are you really sad because you never had a chance to date her?

    So I assume that if Hitler said he was sorry he would be invited to your house to break bread?

    Now go get your shine box (Goodfellas reference)

    First,

    If you are going to give spelling lessons I suggest you use spell-check.

    In your first post:

    Tammy Faye was on a talk show last Wednesday and the Cancer had taken her weight down to 65 lbs.i cant believe that she still had any strengh to function at all.it had reduced her to skin and bones. Rest In Peace Tammy Faye.....

    The I should be capitalized and strengh is spelled strength. Also, there are 2 spaces after a period.

    In your second post:

    how would you know ? who are you to judge anyone ? you sound like a self rightious ****! if you had any kind of moral compass you would not judge anyone unless you were absolutely sure of the facts....

    Sentences begin with a capital letter and rightious is spelled righteous.

    Still with me Peewee?

    In your third post:

    I am Agnostic. as a young man i used to watch Televangelist's for pure entertainment value as i could see it for what it was. even though she is convicted in the court of public opinion by some people Tammy Faye Bakker was not even charged with any crime during the PTL scandal. i cant speak for anyone but myself so maybe it's just me ? i dont enjoy watching Vultures swooping down to attack anyone as soon as thier heart has stopped beating....

    Again, Sentences begin with capital letters and the word I is always capitalized. thier is spelled their. Sentences also end with a period.

    Your next post is my favorite:

    There you go again being judgemental only this time by your own admission. you dont know me from Adam so dont pretend to. you really seem to enjoy this whole sorrid PTL mess just a little bit too much.do you get off on watching pathetic people suffer and die ?

    Sorrid id spelled sordid. Sentences STILL begin with capital letters and since you corrected my spelling of the word judge mental the proper spelling is judgmental.


    Now see how stupid it looks when one corrects another's spelling here just to avoid the original argument?

    As for the Hitler reference, you said "i dont enjoy watching Vultures swooping down to attack anyone as soon as thier heart has stopped beating"

    So I assume you think that when Hitler died people should have not said anything bad about him. Once your dead your absolved of all your sins? Interesting coming from an Agnostic.

    As for the Goodfellas reference.....Go watch the movie and you will know what the line means.
