I used to love watching all those shows. Jim and Tammy Faye, Ernest Angley, Jimmy Swaggart, Jack and Rexella Van Impe.
Then I'd tune into Rev. Ike and Louis Farrakhan on the local radio on the weekends.
Gimme that old-time religion.

RIP. Hopefully you are a better spirit now that you are dead than a human being while you were alive.

I remember my parents being a bit embarrassed that we were distantly related to Tammy Faye.
