but I will say Jimmy is probably the best bible scholar alive today and I give them credit for preaching the bible pretty straight and narrow. Might not be yalls thing but with some of the absolutely crazy stuff out there masquerading as "church" I'm still glad someone preaches biblical faith and values.


Good stuff. Thanks for the laugh.

Have any of y'all read the online story by her and her ex-husband from their time there? That church is evil, plain and simple. I've posted it here before years ago. I'll have to see if I can find the link.

My dad told me he saw an interview with both Jimmy and Jerry Lee once, where Jimmy was talking about how someday he was going to save Jerry Lee. Dad said Jerry Lee just kept repeating "No!"

Pretty telling that his older sister and younger brother left town to get away from the family business.

Alison Collins' ex husband is a weirdo. He's at another Church in BR and thinks he's some kind of musical genius producer.

No idea but not Swaggart related. My wife knows them. I'll ask.

What I'm saying is that his broadcasts had massive reach even back then.

I used to listen to the radio preaching show out of curiosity. His scholarship on the bible seemed pretty sound... And then the catholic bashing would start and i would laugh and change the station

Last, I can't attest for what happened decades ago but anyone who says they have seen him drinking is probably lying, he may have issues but I've never heard of him or his wife (or most of the family with one exception) ever drinking.


Um...he used to drink and so did his wife and son. And I'm not a liar just an old guy that has been around him and his family many times...most recently about February at Zorbas table next to me. I had wine. Brother Swaggart had wine too. Good Greek wine and you should try it.

Anyone who wants to defend him should read the link in the thread I posted before doing so..

The movie Great Balls of Fire showed Jimmy dogging on Jerry Lee and then he shut up when he gave him his car. Not sure how accurate but sounds true enough.

My friend and I worked on the mail room where Jimmy's mother sat on a raised area facing ladies who opened the mail all day . The mail would arrive and these guys would drop a huge sack by each desk . The person would then open the envelope , take the check or cash and then toss the letter in a big garbage can by each desk . Occasionally they would bring one up to the old lady . This guy had a racket for sure .
