    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.
    What does Hitler have to do with myself, Tammy Bakker or the original topic? Why do you have this strange obsession with Hitler ? How without knowing me or my beliefs can you assume who i would forgive and for What reason ? What gives you the right to say if someone is going to go to Hell or not as if you would know the answer ? I know the line from GoodFellas but how does your pretzel logic apply it to me ? Do voices tell you who will make it thru the Pearly gates of Heaven and who will go to the lake of fire ? If you can answer these questions without tying me to some surreal hypothetical senario involving Adolf Hitler it might signal a breakthrough and a first step towards your recovery.

    Because if everything is forgiven in the end, everyone will go to heaven. Unless they want to...

    Tammy will rot in Hell for all eternity. That's where she belongs, and that's where she went. Pearly gates of heaven and the lake of fire????? Where do agnostics go when they die?

    That Jim and Tammy Faye bilked a lot of money out of a lot of people is despicable, to be sure.

    I still wouldn't wish her medical fate on my worst enemy.

    As to whether or not she makes it "Upstairs" or not, the Big Guy Upstairs will have to decide that. If that decision is left to humans, she'd certainly be in trouble. Luckily for her (and us) that decision is out of our hands.

    Thank goodness we're not discussing religion, though. :rolleyes:

    Agreed completely. May the Lord forgive her for her sins and she rest in peace. From seeing that You Tube clip, you could see it was just a matter of time, sad to see anyone in that condition.

    First off excuse my typing and or spelling error/s Because I am certain that there will be some in this post. :p

    And yes I have to agree that cancer is a horrible insidious disease. My father died of it.

    Like the Bakers he was a preacher. Unlike the Bakers he was an honest one.

    He was the only preacher that I have ever met that refused to take up even a single offering after one of his services. His belief was that god would take care of him because he was doing gods work, And if god wanted people to give him money that god would tell these people to do so.

    Needless to say he was also the poorest preacher I have ever met. We had food to eat most of the time growing up and clothes etc but very little else.

    I remember working 2 jobs when i was 16 to make certain that he was able to get his wish to die at home. Someone had to pay for medical supplys a wheelchair and a hospital type bed, a nurse to come in 3 times a week to check on him and assist with things.

    He died very slowly and painfully. I had to turn him over several times a day at the end due to bed sores. He was a big man, but when he died I doubt he weighed a 100 lbs. The cancer had pretty much ate up his fat, muscle, and was working on the bones when he passed.

    I remember well the day he died. He told me that morning im going to die today, I of course told him no, that he was going to live forever etc, but I knew he was. I could hear a death rattle in his voice that wasnt there the day before. Sure enough he died around 2 that afternoon.

    Did tammy deserve the cancer she got? was it karma coming to get her?

    Who knows? Sometimes things happen to good people and bad people alike.

    Wlill she make it to heaven or hell? Not for me to decide. But I think she will stand trial in the next life and be judged according to how she lived this one.

    I think the lesson here is to live your life every day as though it may be your last. No one knows when that day is going to be.

    All the money or toys in the world isnt going to help you when its your turn to go. Dont be greedy, you cant take it with you. It didnt help her out. in the end she was like a defenseless child, all the money she had wasnt able to save her.

    REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Well said snow. I have lost too many family members to cancer and reading about someone having it and wither away in front of you. It really hurts remembering.

    In what way? It really took me a long time to forgive the Bakkers. They were convincing and my Grandmother put a lot of faith in them. I guess, so did I. I was hurt when I found out they were frauds.
