Jim Bakker on This Day in History


This Day in History (March 19): Televangelist Jim Bakker resigned as head of the PTL Club because of his sex scandal on this day in 1987. Recently he was also exposed for selling fake coronavirus cures. When you really think about it, the Bible is full of scandals (for instance King David fathers a baby with a married woman and then has the husband killed). While it is fashionable to criticize the many scandals among Protestant and Catholic clergy, other major religions also have leaders that behave badly, indeed very badly...we're just now allowed to talk about those.
