Helluva an actor. Mesmerized his crowds. Nuttier than a fruitcake.

"Jimmy Swaggart's cousins are Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. They were all born in Ferriday, Louisiana, within a twelve-month span during the Great Depression."

And everyone thought Jerry Lee was the bad seed, lol.

Out of all the TV preachers, there's only a few I think are sincere believers.

Swaggart was one of them.

He understand the fraility of man, being saved by grace, and he shared a genuine remorse with the world.

btw....if you haven't seen him play, check out Swaggart play the piano.

Would have loved to watch him and Jerry Lee Lewis (his cousin) play together.

For me to believe you, you'll have to make some phonies.

I'll get you started. Benny Hind, Joel Osteen, and of course everyone's #1, Mr. Kunda So Bane himself, Robert Tilton.

Snoofy,

"For me to believe you"

Why would I lie about what I believe regarding Swaggart?

Now, if what you mean is you don't agree with me...why would I care?

Snoofy,

You did list some of the ones I think are in it just for $$.
