Anyone have any Jimmy Swaggart stories?

He is an interesting guy. Obviously extremely charismatic, and it would seem created something of a cult of personality around himself. It's highly distasteful to me how he and his ministries are constantly asking for money, but it's hard to deny that he is great at what he does. Also incredible that he is the cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis.

I hear he likes prostitutes.

Also the prostitute thing. The rise and fall of the guy. And the fact he still has a fairly substantial mega-church/media operation. It's incredible when you think about it.

He's a scam artist that uses Christianity as his bait, only one of thousands. He's good at it, that's all I've got

Back in the day when I was doing home health nursing he was one of my patients following a joint replacement. Did my visits in his work office. Only person that matched his charisma and story telling abilities was former Gov. Edwin Edwards. I don't know if those two could exist very long in the same room together - it would be charm and charisma Armageddon

Dino "the rat" Rizzo learned everything he knows from J-Swag.
I remember when I was going through my divorce an old lady neighbor from down the street (you know the kind. Nosy, gossipy, etc.) told me that "Brother Swagggart is having a marriage workshop. Maybe y'all should go."
I politely told her that Jimmy Swaggart having a workshop on marriage would be like MC Hammer giving a workshop on financial planning.

He's just another persecuted Christian trying to spread the gospel. That's why I send him a check every week.

I know him and his wife would both go to CCL and sit separate for dinner. She would pull up to valet with a gin n tonic in the center console.

If you sit down and watch his TV channel for 10 minutes, you will be asked to send money or buy something a minimum of 3 times. It's astonishing.

My name is Swaggart
I am an a-hole
All my friends,
They call me \"Jim\"
(Hi, Jim!)
I'm from Louisiana,
I make lots of money,
But I fricked up
And commited a sin
Come out here to Californy...
Just to find me
Some pretty girls
The ones I seen
Gets me so horny;
Ruby lips,
'N teeth like pearls!
Wanna love them all!
In the name of Jesus!
Wanna pretty girl
I'll even pay!
I'll buy 'em furs!
I'll buy 'em jewelry!
I'll never frick them;
Here's what I say:
I'm lonesome Cowboy Jim!
(Speakin' atcha!)
I only give 'em the tips of him!
Posin atcha.
You get the idea.

He's from Concordia parish. He knows more about the Bible than anyone I have ever met. He likes to eat lunch at Copeland's.

Many years ago, during college, I waited tables at CCLA (and got to play for free on Mondays with no one else on the course!). One Thanksgiving, when the restaurand did a buffet, Jimmy reserved one of the rooms and I waited on him. They had a separate buffet for his extended family. Most were pretty snotty. Jimmy himself was very friendly. He tipped very well, but I didn't expect it because he started off asking for bunch of lemons so he could make his own lemonade from a glass of ice water.
On a separate note, there was a guy who wrote a song that got some airplay on KLSU when I was there called either "Swaggart Land" or "In Swaggart Land" played to the tune of "Dixie." It was excellent.

I have concluded that the world would be a better place if 97% of the so-call ministers were lined up and summarily shot. There are a few in it for the right reasons, but VERY few.
The telling thing about the Penthouse interview with Deborah Murphy was that there was no law suit against her or the magazine by Swaggart's folks. What she said was evidently pretty spot on. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Mrs. Swaggart was reading that interview only to learn that now the rest of the world know that Jimmy suffered from pre-mature ejaculation. Sonofabitch was a freak. However, he wouldn't have been touched like he was if he hadn't taken Marvin Gorman's ministry down. Gorman's son took Swaggart down. A southern minister fricking everything but his own wife - who ever heard of such a thing.

He and Jerry Lee are the first cousins to my aunt's (late) husband. I guess I'm related to them by marriage.
That's all I've got.

Very interesting family.

He is also cousins with Mickey Gilley. They all are from Ferriday.
He lived on Tara Blvd when I was a kid and had a yellow Volkswagon beetle. We used to cut across his yard and he would be smoking and drinking in the back and would say 'get out of my god damn yard." True story.
This was before he built Bluebonnet and he had a radio studio set up way in the back of one of those Heck warehouses on Greenwell Springs Road. The deep ones where ABC Supply is now. He made a fortune broadcasting his radio show in Asia and Europe and not a soul in BR knew who he was.
My sister went to the prom with his son Donny.
And before he got caught with his dick out he was single handedly keeping the BR economy afloat by building his campus at Bluebonnet when this place was hit by the last oil patch meltdown.
