I saw him live many years ago and he was quite the showman.

I do wonder what would have come of him and his ministry had all the problems not come about.


If you watch the movie Fletch Lives, you would see what a preacher can build and get involved in.

In the movie, they had a theme park Bibleland. So, I could see Jimmy’s expansion there as Swaggart had already expanded and built a college and teleministry empire.

Heck, even with the scandals, he has definitely built with great success a media empire like no other by buying and building a network of self owned TV and radio stations through Sonlife.

I worked UPS in the early 80s. This was before he got caught with the hooker. It was also at a time when technology was very different, and they had to ship film and videotapes of his shows to get them broadcast on TV stations.

He shipped world wide. It seemed like every other package had Swaggart’s name on it.

If he’d kept his pecker in his pants, he’d be a billionaire.

He used to live on Tara Boulevard before he lived on Highland. He would jog up and down the boulevard. This is early to mid 80’s. There used to be a 7-11 or what-not down by Goodwood.

Well, he had that little towel ‘flap’ thing in front of his jogging pants. I always assumed it was a towel for sweat, maybe it was, lol. According to Deborah Murphry, you can read the Hustler article for more info, he had a hole in his pants for easy access, and the flap just covered the hole. Always wondered about that dude and that flap, lol.

When I used to work at mamacitas before it closed, I was training to be a server one Sunday night when swaggart came in with his group of kiss asses. He ordered the fajita salad, and all the rest of the group got the same thing. When I was giving swaggart his bowl of French dressing (with a ton of oil separated to the top), I caught the bowl on the lip of the tray and dumped the entire bowl of oily French dressing into his lap. He didn’t tip me (not that anyone from his church ever did), but he did “god bless” me.

Never understood why he didn't get a hot hooker in Vegas instead of that skank

My Mamaw (who probably sent him $1,000,000)was so devastated by his actions

A year or two after one of the scandals broke, we were behind him in line at Piccadilly in Essen.

I was about 7 or 8 and I asked my mother if the guy in front of us was that famous person on TV. She said “That’s Jimmy Swaggert. Don’t touch anything he touches.”

She made sure it was just loud enough for him to hear.

Most Baptists do, the ironic thing is Catholics don't give a damn and it just pisses the Baptists off even more.

They don’t care.

Friendly reminder: her husband sleeps with dirty hookers and the entire country found out about it. She’s probably very bitter.

Always looking for improvement in my golf game, I purchased some new Jimmy Swaggart golf balls. Someone had told me about them and I didn't expect much improvement in my score, but with the Holy Spirit behind them, they couldn't hurt.

I couldn't have been more wrong! The next four rounds carded had my score skyrocket. These new balls wrecked my score and ruined my putting.

These new Jimmy Swaggart balls, just like their namesake, would roll right up to the hole, but NEVER GO IN.

I'm Catholic and I was thinking the same thing. I could give a frick if someone - anyone - doesn't like me because I'm Catholic. So what

I spoke with the Minister of the church on Transcontinental and West Meraire, don’t rember the name, but the same denomination as Swaggart. Which he said, if Jimmy wouldn’t of had any issues with Marvin Gorman, no one would’ve found out how much of a scum bag he was...

From what I remember, that stuff between the two was pretty intense when all the shite hit the fan..

This would really be pertinent to this thread if Swaggart were Baptist.

Jimmy Swaggart stories



Back when Piccadilly was still a good place to eat we saw Jimmy in the one on Sherwood eating alone. He looked sad.

The next week we saw Pete Jenkins and his wife eating there.

My P-Dilly go-to meal:

crawfish etouffee
2 fried chicken legs
a veggy
garlic bread
pecan pie
