Was a union carpenter on one of his expansions to his empire back in the early 80s. If you talked to him, you were fired.

He's a dick and everyone around him are dicks.

Even good morning was enough to lose your job.

frick you Jimmy Swaggart.

If you were a union carpenter in the early 80's on his job you had a job because no one else was building anything. Local 1098 I'm guessing. For Tudor Construction or a sub?

Only place really building then was Atlanta and the casinos and hotels in Atlantic City which is where this workforce went.

And fwiw-he still, 30 years later has held on to most of that campus.

Rumor had it that the hooker looked like his wife before all the plastic surgery.

JLL was his cousin, as well as Mickey Gilley.

Even when he was caught and the donations dropped off, he stayed current on every payment.

Jimmy Lee Swaggart
Jerry Lee Lewis
Mickey Lee Gilley

1st cousins all named by their mommies for their grandpa Lee in hopes he'd leave them his slum lord fortune.

They were all wrong and got nothing.

What church doesn't


Now that is the correct question. I have concluded that most churches will achieve whatever their aims are and they don't give a shite who they step on or hurt in the process as long as they are doing it in the name of their "savior". Ex-wife ran off with a minister. Instead of reaching out to my kids and me, goddamned church kept wanting to bleed us more. I quit. Even changed denominations, and still can't do the church thing. At 60, it's probably not going to happen again. I just can't get into all that BS.

You're 100% correct, Jimmy just did it on a large scale before most of them out there. It's why I've been agnostic for most of my adult life. I'm a black sheep I suppose, an agnostic republican

Given what I saw of Deborah Murphy's legs spread wide open, I would want to get a couple of cans of Bengal to spray down there. After that, lots of penicillin. After that, I'd go frick someone else.

Anybody that follows that fricking idiot or believes anything that prick says is deluded.

Men lost their jobs in a tight market because he is a self important piece of shite.

A lot of weak minded people out there who want someone else to do their thinking for them.

I have major problems with anyone who is doing good strictly in hopes of getting some reward after they're dead, instead of doing the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.

Relax brother. I don't see where I doubted but you seem like you must have said hello to Swaggart.

I carried a card for 1098 many years ago. The Cavins ,Thomas's, Creels, Buratts. I knew them all. I can do something today that I'm guessing not more than a half dozen people in this city can do. Tie lath and frame a plaster ceiling with channel iron and Jerry Hartman taught me that in apprenticeship school.

But I haven't been around it in over 20 years.

Here you go. frick Swaggart.

I fricked one of his preschool teachers off and on for a year

His former piano player owns a bed and breakfast in north carolina that's amazing.

I pretty much only know the stories about him that were in the news. I don't understand how people like him are able to create such a following because they all come off as used car salesmen to me.

Someone once "actively" tried to recruit me to be a member of his church. Long story short, it was the brother of some guy I knew who had become heavily involved. Dude would come to my house, the first 1 or 2 times he just came "hang out" mentioned what he was into and that was it. Then after that he started to asking me to attend shite with him. At first I was like "yeah, i might check that out with you one day"..

Thinking it would be something that would be forgotten, but after he wasn't able to get me to go.. One day I was home, had my music playing loud and he knocks on my door. I answer and he looked at me as if what I was listening to offended him.. He goes to his car, comes back with 2 or 3 copied CDs. He told me I should put that music in and feel the spirit at that point I just had to be straightforward with him. I wasn't going to weekly prayer groups, I didn't want to take any classes at a school Jimmy Swaggart started and I was for damn sure not listening to that old snake oil salesman sing gossip music.

She was pretty skanked up. (The hooker)

The boys wife may, or may not have been caught boinking a band member.

I rapelled in front of his production manager a few times.

It's not that at all for me. We were warned when that prick was going to come and take a look.

Don't speak to him. Keep your eyes down.

The job market was tough as hell for any carpenter back then. When shite hit the fan I had to go on the road and Mail money home to my family. But....

I watched that frick send good men down the road for a good morning. They had families too.

frick him. frick that fricking frick forever.
