Jim Bakker
Jim Bakker remains one of the OG's of televangelist grifters.
From the PTL ministry's collapse to his many criminal convictions, he has failed himself through his relentless need to grift and make money from well-meaning people. As he nears the end of his life, he continues to beg other people for money instead of doing something more noble. What a huge, embarrassing failure! But we shouldn’t feel sorry for him. We need to stop people like this from taking advantage of our neighbors. After all, aren’t we supposed to love and protect them?
