Have any of you ever been to Jimmy Swaggart’s church in Baton Rouge? If you have, what was it like? I know many years ago he had a large congregation, but I heard that the scandals really depleted that number.

Still seems pretty crowded when you pass it on a Sunday

Went when I was back in college in the mid 2000’s. Looked like it hadn’t been updated since the early 90’s. Went to people watch and see what bullshite Swaggart still had to throw.

It did. A lot of those buildings around his church like the Renaissance Hotel used to be his.

I think his scandal hit during the construction and they just stopped. We used to go up in that shell of a building and drink beer in HS

Reverend Brother Jimmy was in the pulpit Sunday. He must have wrangled 20 rattlesnakes and at least 50 moccasins without getting bit once.

He is right with God these days.

I was banging some hot blonde from there back in 2009. She was the freakiest of freaks. All I can say.

He still has a few hundred thousand followers...

I am sure he is swindling them all selling "salvation".

I know a guy that worked there.
He said that the son and wife are far more intimidating than Jimmy himself.

The second scandal really took it's effect.

There are many truer expressions of Christianity in the city.
I’m assuming Swaggart made a living on prosperity gospel.

Just did some work on their latest renovation. Seems to be more oriented on streaming their services. Also, upgraded his museum....to himself.
