Wow! Thank you for posting all of this info about Joe and Becky Campbell. “Then and Now”…has anything changed? Good point!

“Lori Graham Bakker”.
I assume this is Tammy’s Trophy Replacement?

One of the Inner Ring, living the Lifestyle of the Rich and Godly as trophy wife of a CELEBRITY, with all that $$$$$ pouring in from all those Armageddon/Tribulation food buckets, colloidal silver COVID cures, and widows’ Social Security Checks.

The “there is a sucker born every minute” aspect of evangelical Christianity is just breathtaking… I bet many of the people that are follows of this do not remember/know of the first “round” of Jim and Tammy..

Dee,

You wrote in your OP:

It is evident that Joe and Becky Campbell continue to be involved with Jim Bakker and his various ministries. Do those who access these ministries know of Joe and Becky Campbell’s past? Would they be concerned if they did? Why does Jim Bakker feature a decredentialed pastor? Maybe Jim Bakker hasn’t changed much, either.

That.

And my apologies to Christians….

How many of the girls and / or women have a choice when they end up going to (having to go to) a place like Lori’s House, where there MIGHT be some good that happens (but I highly doubt it)?

How many of the girls and / or women will end up being brainwashed into the usual “Christian” way of thinking, which includes the usual shaming of the girl and / or woman?

And how many of these girls and / or women might end up being triggered by being preached to (at)? And not necessarily by the “pastor”.

And how many of these girls and / or women might end up being triggered by being prooftexted to (at)? And not necessarily by the “pastor”.

And how many of these girls and / or women might end up being turned off from Christianity, even though Jesus Christ wouldn’t treat them the way they’re mostly likely going to be treated at Lori’s House? And that’s not including the already known proclivities of Joe and Becky Campbell and Jim Bakker — which we know were NOT part of Jesus Christ’s ministry!

My prayers are with these girls and / or women, not Joe and Becky Campbell, or Jim and Lori Bakker.

Grumpy,

unfortuantely, yes…

I sound like a broken record, but I truly do not understand why when these people get punished for something, with severe consequences (liking spending time in jail), and then they get released, forgiven, etc. they do not just go away and stay out of that limelight. Find a new line of work. Be thankful every day that you can just pay your bills and have no articles written about you. They are like disgusting moths to a (lime) light, instead of taking note of 1 Thessalonians 4:11. Love the idea of Lori’s house and I support something like that near me, where women who want to keep their babies have the choice and help to do so. But ugh, know your staff!!

Grumpy: Anybody else remember “I ran into Tammy Faye at the mall” t-shirts? Or when people renamed PTL as “Pass the Loot”?

YES to both.

I also remember Jim & Tammy in the middle of the scandal happy-talk publishing a ketchup-heavy recipe for Sloppy Joes, the radio station I listened to making the recipe and sampling it on the air, and concluding “Where’s Lorne Greene and his 150-year-old-dog?” (reference to an Alpo dog food commercial of the time).

And (more ominous) the comments outside the PTL True Believers that “God’s a crock of S**t and Jim & Tammy are the living proof!”

researcher: How many of the girls and / or women have a choice when they end up going to (having to go to) a place like Lori’s House, where there MIGHT be some good that happens (but I highly doubt it)?

Well, when going to anyplace else means Rebellion against The Father and Eternal Hell…

Hellfire and God’s Wrath seem to be the ONLY motivator Christians can think of!

Grumpy: I find the food buckets to somehow be incredibly funny but in the end sad at the same time. Incredibly funny, like an unintentional parody that I can’t take remotely seriously. And sad, because somebody is figuratively and literally buying this.

And with Jim Bakker in the loop, these are literally ARMAGEDDON buckets. I think one of the packages (priced somewhere in mid-four-figures) is SEVEN MAN-YEARS, i.e. The Entire Great Tribulation for One. Remember Bakker’s ad blurb: “The World is Dying, but You’re Eating Like a King!”

There are several videos on the Web from those who actually tried Bakker’s Buckets. Every one of them describes the contents as the absolute worst thing they ever ate, total garbage.

As for those actually buying these, well, it’s the Rapture Ready crowd (though that makes no sense; after all “I’ll Be Gone!”). But then, it’s the CHRISTIANS(TM).

At least where I live, which is in the heart of Bakker country, there is a ready made market for those buckets! Most folks around here DO prep, and some folks are naturally lazy and want whatever they can acquire quickly and throw on a shelf.

Real preppers in the area are not necessarily rapture ready, either. With the new Calvinism has come the new amil emphasis.

But some prep because they believe the country is going to self destruct (as polarized as we are, maybe) or the economy collapse (again, maybe) or war come (it could. Greenland could be the catalyst.)

All that said, most prep so when the ice storms/snow storms/tornados make it impossible to get to town you really don’t need to go. That, and home grown/processed/stored is cheaper and healthier and tastier.

Wonder if I could figure out how to sell my enchiladas instant in a bucket??

I learned that in Boy Scouts 70 years ago … Be Prepared!

Headless Unicorn Guy,

P.S> Maybe he can do commercials like those Jehovah’s Witnesses “Bunker Videos” that have been making the rounds on YouTube reaction videos. A Faithful Remnant huddled in a basement bunker during Armageddon hiding from Antichrist’s Enforcers, only instead of Parables teaching JW doctrine they’re Testimonies shilling Armageddon Buckets.
