Televangelist Jim Bakker brought out buckets of food on sale for $175, but refuses to donate his ‘Survival Food’ for flood victims.
Jim Bakker is pitching emergency buckets of ‘survival food’, argued that “this flood is from God, it’s a ,” He added that Mother Nature’s violent outbursts are “judgment on America, somehow.”
Bakker use end-of-days scenario as part of a sales pitch to sell his buckets of instant apocalypse food.
The End Times prepper pastor Bakker claims that the former mayor of Houston “ordered all the preachers to turn in their sermons before they preached them.” He added “Just remember, God gets the last word. God gets the last word. Be not deceived, God is not mocked.”
In 1989 Bakker was convicted on 24 felony counts of mail and wire fraud and sentenced to 45 years in federal prison. In 1996 over 160,000 former Praise The Lord Club members filed a class action suit over time-shares they had purchased for a Heritage USA luxury resort that was never built. The suit was dismissed and today Bakker sells End Times food buckets to the similarly gullible.
Fools and buffoons buy into religion, and become willing victims of shysters like Jim Bakker and the many other Evangelical so-called Men of God who prey on the idiots who “BELIEVE IN GOD”. One can only pity these morons.
Wow. What happened to integrity in the journalism world? Let’s debunk this article right here and now with some ACTUAL PROOF!
Let’s take a look at this video right here: https://jimbakkershow.com/video/houston-report/
Yes, it’s from The Jim Bakker Show, and even if you can’t stomach the show, pay attention around 9 minutes in. You will see clips of the staff making pancakes/waffles for the volunteers down there. There are additional clips throughout the show, showcasing the staff’s time in Houston. They even helped a lady with her house while they were down there. And if you need further proof of how much they did, there are plenty of Facebook Live videos featured on their Facebook page of them in Houston. Within those clips, there are even clips of them loading/unloading semi-trucks full of food.
Now, somewhere toward the beginning if the show, they mention they just got back from Houston during Labor Day weekend. You can even further prove this by going to The Jim Bakker Show Facebook page. There are several Facebook Live videos that are DATED for September 4th and 5th. Here is one if you need further proof or are too lazy to do your own research:
Now, let’s use some common sense and deductive reasoning here. Hurricane Harvey hit Texas on August 31st, the Thursday BEFORE Labor Day. Jim Bakker has said in the past there he has hundreds of thousands of buckets stored at Morningside (his church). They even had a show that was years ago celebrating the building of their new barn, with video evidence of them storing thousands of buckets of food in it. So, my question to NOVA Magazine, if Jim isn’t donating his food, HOW did they get the food buckets down to those people so FAST?
I’ve already proven that food was sent to Houston, that cannot be disputed. But let’s assume NOVA is right. Jim is only sending buckets down that is being ordered from his flock. Jim doesn’t produce the food. A simple look at his online store and you will see that his two manufacturers for survival food is Food For Health and Augason Farms. There is also NO RECORD of him being able to produce the survival food at the Morningside facility. So that means, if someone orders, it may take weeks before it gets to Morningside. And then, it will get shipped from Morningside to Houston so that way Jim Bakker looks good by sending food down to Houston. Even in the best case scenario, those buckets of food wouldn’t get to Morningside for 3 or 4 days then it would be another 3-4 days before it got to Houston. Meaning, that Jim and his team wouldn’t have been able to “serve” Houston until around the following weekend.
So, judging by the timing of their evidence that they were in Houston, serving the hungry and the volunteers, it can be decuded that Jim DID donate the supplies on hand at Morningside. And he probably is asking for donations to continue sending food to both Texas and Florida.
Now, let’s get something straight, I’m not the biggest fan of Jim Bakker. Anyone who knows me will tell you that. BUT, I am getting so sick of seeing journalistic integrity go to poop. DO SOME RESEARCH! Get your facts! This article is a smear piece, full of lies. And it does a disservice to the American public when journalists do NOT take their jobs seriously, especially in cases like this when there is so much horrible news about the devastation caused by Harvey and Irma. There is no need to try and smear people (whether you like them or not) when instead, NOVA could be writing pieces about the good people in Texas and Florida who are helping others. So many other people deserve the spotlight in this dark time.
Also, if your magazine is so willing to write this smut, maybe try adding some bylines for your writers. They should be proud that their articles can be proven wrong by the average/passionate reader.
Since it is so obvious that there are Many shyster televangelists out there who are nothing less than self serving criminals of the highest order. Who it has been documented to have done harm and injury, hell, even caused deaths in the name and as a product of their (un)”godly” endeavors. Why is there no regulations and licensing and proof of competence and demonstration of charitable intent and results???
You license hair dressers.
You license real estate agents.
You license doctors and nurses.
You license plumbers and electricians.
You license day care centers.
Why the hell do these white trash con artists given free reign to inflict their destruction across this land, our land, with wanton abandon and treated with kidd gloves.
W!
T!
F!
????????
There is a very obvious need for some type of quality control screaming to be applied in the televangelist industry.
And make no mistake.
It is an industry.
AMEN
