Swaggart, his father; Doris Poole, his former classmate; Frankie Jean Terrell, his cousin and sister of Jerry Lee Lewis; and Ferriday Mayor Sammy Davis, Jr. Host: Ken Lormand
He got caught twice more after this.
😂😂😂 Swaggert swaggering cos all his sins were in the past. For a couple of weeks, anyway.
He got caught three times and admitted doing it every week for 28 years.
@@kwitster1 every week?! Sheesh
His words not mine.
@@kwitster1 🤣😅
You don't take donations from the faithful and build offices or whatever. He's getting every bit of that tax free! They can't even feed the poor which Jesus always preached.who can afford those kinds of cars? Those business offices aren't helping the church! WASTEFULL!
Do you feed the poor?
@@el5395do you?
Wonder why God didnt call you to be a Pastor? Maybe you couldnt have handled it. Or lived the way you should have. Amazing how many people who is not called but know how to tell everybody else how to live and what to do. Amazing. Have you ever sinned before Jimmy failed and after he failed God? If so dont forget that.
@@el5395 she not claiming to lead his flock and taking others money in the name of Jesus. Although I know you can’t see the difference
Ah, well Jimmy started it by accusing other pastors of the same thing. Nothing worse than a hypocrite.
Have you sinned after slandering Jimmy? dont lie about it? If you have then whats that make you? a hypocrite from what you say.
@@biker38297 you’re kidding me right? I’m not out there claiming to be a prophet and leading the lords flock over the cliff. If you can’t see that pray for your own clarity.
Have you ever done something that you comdemned pthers doing? Are we not all or at least most of us hypocrites at times. Doesn't make it right, but it is reality.
@@karltiedemann7222 are you serious? I am not the one claiming to be anointed by God himself and leading his small section of his flock astray. He may be forgiven although I don’t think he ever repented for that either but it most definitely disqualify’s him to be a leader of God flock. Timothy.
@@karltiedemann7222 you people are seriously sad and I’ll pray you see the truth of who you send money to for his evil deception!
I was sitting in the audience for this. It was interesting to say the least.
Sorry for your lo$$
Are you still a Christian and believer?...
Swaggart is Hypocrity....
My God is a forgiving and loving God!!
And his cousin married a 13 year old.
@@kennethsouthard6042 Sorry but i dont think so you wasnt allowed to marry someone that young. And was His cousin a Christian? If not what are you throwing that up. Are you a Christian? If so have you sinned more than once? And if not what kind of sins have you committed while in sin?
@@biker38297Myra Lewis Williams born July 11, 1944 married Jerry Lee Lewis in 1957. Do the math, that's 13. If he was a Christian does that make it okay in your world? If so would it still be okay if that was your daughter?
If you want to follow Jimmy and send him your money, that's your prerogative but your arrogant defense of him implies that others should too is a croc.
@kennethsouthard6042 the Christian Church has been buggering and murdering and stealing for centuries.
He wouldn't never have repented, would he have never been caught.
That’s your judgment but it’s not necessarily a true verdict.
@@ZezimaMills
it's not necessarily false either
He has never repented
Devil never sleep. Jimmy the anointed servant of God. Rebuke the evil spirits.
God forgives all our sins, we all are sinners…..
He married Frances when she had just turned 15. This man has no place preaching.
Didnt know God allowed you to call who he wants to preach. I cant read that in the bible. can you give me book chapter and verse please.
@@biker38297 God did he told me personally
@@biker38297 really? Read Timothy lately?
@@biker38297 God allowed him privately also me too
im from north louisiana.. i was `15.... i remember this
No ones is perfect only God
Our leaders are human, they can be charismatic and reach the masses and still fall short. The message is important, not to idealize a person, have no hero’s, they will let you down because they are just like me, made of human flesh
bro admitted, and 35 years have passed. if that guy is honest now - im glad he held up and owned up to it back then
Yes sir. Those who condemn him and “throw stones” will receive the same condemnation. This is where we must realize who the judge of mankind really is.
Besides, Brother Jimmy sure can sing!!!
This man is a pervert.!
No, bro was caught
true however he didnt deny, hence why i said admitted, @@kwitster1
Amen it takes courage to repent before God and before all men.
All have sin and come short of the glory of God. We can talk, but we are just as bad. Sin is sin, and I still love him and his ministry. God looks beyond our faults and sees our needs. Thank you, Lord
Con artist
Swaggart has definitely made a huge comeback. That professor is probably choking on his words right now. Swaggart owns his own TV channel! No other mega church has been capable of doing that!
Jimmy is a remarkable businessman and conned many
Surprised he came back so quickly.
im from jonesboro La.. thats NORTH LOUISIANA and i remember when this happened
This is Great! My Buddy moved to Baton Rouge 25 years ago & joined Jimmy's Church & He never came home.
I beg for forgiveness…bla blah blah..now send me some more money.
And they did
@@kennethsouthard6042 fool born every minute.
Bro. Swaggart fell from the grace of God, he committed adultery like the prophet David, the good choice he made was to confess his sin and repented of it. Just because he's a preacher doesn't mean that he's perfect, it proves that he's human; and gave into his temptation. God has forgiven him, now he has to move forward and keep his eyes on the Lord, stay focused and serve God 🙏🏻 God be with him.
How many times do you forgive him. He was just another ho just like trump except the price has gone up.
Jesus Christ came to save sinners. That includes me, praise God.
@@ZezimaMills but I doubt if you was a flaming hypocrite using the lords name.
But not in the pulpit
He didnt commit Adultery with any women. Where did you get that info?
The 1980s:
'Twas a good decade for pop culture.
Everything else...not so much.
2:21 Marvin Gorman was jealouis of Jimmy Swaggert................ thats why he told it... and he was prolly in it too
This kind of incident is known as Tuesday in the Clinton household…
رجاء ، راجعوا مناظرته مع الشيخ احمد ديدات ahmad deddat
see.. MINISTERS Today wont even do this
Swaggarts father married his cousin
Proof please
If he did i don't go to church for the pastor I listen to the word of God and the gospel music he's good preacher and what ever he did that between him and God and in the pass amen
i wonder what his wife was doing to make him cheat in bed
It's difficult for a man who only had one woman, probably meeting another woman was a terrible temptation
mau tarok dimana muka si swaggart ?, bukti sudah terlanjur jujur dari sang perempuan....
Jimmy Swaggart is a great TV evangelist. He preaches every day yet, and he is almost 90 years old. He and his pastors preach about saving your souls and guiding you to the message of the Cross. He could retire but he doesn't because he wants to help people. So what have you done for your brothers and sisters?? God Bless Jimmmy Swaggart for saving me in December 2022.
Snake Oil Sales Man.
This guy deserves an academy award 😂😂
Probably what the Assemblies of God were thinking before permanently defrocking Swaggart.
Every Christian has a choice to follow Jesus Christ or follow Satan the devil 😈
Jim Jones was a real minister,but he chose to turn back to Satan God have mercy on their Souls
SINNER GET READY
May God forgive ho dont forgive someone ho admit and Gid forgive. No one of us are without sin in our lives
It would seem you live in the past. There is no future there.
He should give all that money back to the people because he let everyone down with his evil sin dirty deeds... He's using the Lord to gain financial gain how low can one be.
Thank God he wouldnt owe you anything and all you other slanderers. Look in the mirror friend. How many sins have you committed from the time Jimmy sinned against God. be honest. If any. And we know you have Right? you better remember that before you judge everybody else.
@@biker38297 fool
@@biker38297 you are serious aren’t you? LOL
t11:24 hat black Mayor... Sammy Davis Jr... had some Great Intellilect.... he didnt condone Jiummy"s behavior.. but he supported the MAN
Really going through his story i first heard about it
The Devil would always look for what someone speaks against,just like he did to David and brought destruction to his family and jimmy though he has repented his ministry would never be like it would have been if he never sinned,we are to be careful not to yield to temptation,bcs temptation would surely come😢thats why we have to pray and also watch
God would help us🙏
I’m sorry when did he repent?
Please don’t compare this pos to David
He had sinned
Ferriday along with most of those Small Cities .. are Racist... including MONROE and WEST MONROE 7:55
Oh please!
I was very upset with the way the A/G denomination handled this. Swaggart’s ministry was sending $$$$ to A/G headquarters in Springfield, MO.
Christian culture
Married .... NO
Poligamy..... NO
Adultary...... Yes
KGBT ....... Yes
why ? because they believe Yesus forgiven all their sin...
L 0:54 😮😮6yygc
God can use a person that man says can't or won't. Everyone has committed this same sin. Preacher or not
I did not expect to see CHUCKY in this video!!
It's amazing how getting caught can bring a man to allegedly repent. I watched Swaggart back in the 80s until this happened. To this day, I refuse to believe anything he has to say. In fact, I haven't even listened to one of his sermons since his self-induced downfall.
If you cant forgive someone that even does you wrong God wont forgive you either. Are you a Christian. If so have you sinned sense you been a Christian? If so then does that mean you should never talk to people about God anymore because you sinned. Should Christians ignore you because you have sinned.? If you no they shouldnt. then what are you doing ignoring jimmy? Nobody is any better than Jimmy.
@@biker38297 Ah! Now, you're confusing forgiveness with trust. I said that I refuse to believe anything Swaggart has to say. I didn't say that I don't forgive him. If your financial investor stole all of your money, you might forgive him. But, you certainly wouldn't trust him with another dime, would you? If so, the investor is no longer the fool.
@@biker38297 oh so now your speaking for God biker
If his thing worked he’d still be hitting protitutes.
Freaky Zeek!😜forgive me for I have sinned😪😭
8:55 Marvin Gorman is the tattle Taler
JS sinned ,ehee, he is a true christian!Where is the news.The only difference is that somebody caught him before he'd repented.Preach the gospel brother ,we love you.
He felt the shame and knew it was bad, that’s why he preached so hard against adultery.
I’ve got to respect that he faced up to failures and asked for forgiveness from God and man.
No, the only reason for his croc tears was that one year warming by Gordon had expired and he had to beat Gordon to the news that was coming out. I’m sure you have no idea what I’m
Talking about because you’re brainwashed.
@@ZezimaMillsHe got caught again after his "repentance " four years later in 1992.

Mercy, really? That’s sad and I didn’t know.
There’s a sign posted at the sea of forgetfulness, into which our sins are all cast. The sign reads, “No Fishing”.
We’re all covered and kept saved by the blood of the Lamb. I never understood how he kept pastoring after the exposure but that’s not mine to judge for him. The singing is great, sinner or saint.
Hopefully we’ll meet tomorrow,
Inside the pearly gate,
Let’s not be late for that lovely date.
Notice his “formally a preacher dad” during the interview never once said Jimmy needed God nor mentioned Repentance, Jesus, nor God. You’d think Jimmy needed God not sleep. Hmmmm
So Jimmy initially stole the basketballs and then Jerry stole the basketballs from Jimmy. Ok
