And why Tammy is fondly remembered as if she wasn't a part of the scheme?. How come he is on tv again and still trusted?. She can rot in hell and he should be back in prison and all their properties confiscated including the heritage park. How come these two got away with all of that!!!!

    I have a serious question, but first, a little background. I've spent the past 2 days watching videos and reading about this scandal (I was alive then, but didn't remember much about it.) And reading through HUNDREDS of comments, both good and bad, about the scandal, people seem to OVERWHELMINGLY believe Tammy Faye was totally innocent! But I can't believe that, she HAD to know at least SOME of what was going on there. :-O So my question is HOW did she escape prison time, and manage to look so squeaky clean through that whole mess? I can't seem to find the answer.

    Im a Christian over 25 years. Jim Baker did wrong commit Adultery. Jesus said pick up a stone the one whoever never commit sin. You don't commit adultery but you lie, stealing . Who are w to judge. Im against what Jim Baker did. But He is also a Human like us always made mistakes. Only God can judge. Only God knows the hearts of each person. All I can say is praying for them.

    I pray that people will actually read their bibles, rather than be simple fools and fall for devils such as this. You wanna know how to move, walk, talk, love, and understand what He's done for you, and can do for you, and if you are faithful, all that He will according to His own written word. Then read the bible. God demands 10 percent of your income toward one's giving(offering) to Him. He never said anywhere in the word just give us 1000 dollars.
