(18,723 posts)It's better with his delivery aloud, of course, but:
Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!

(2,586 posts)donations are way, way down. He was the main reason viewers tuned in, at least in recent decades. Tammy Faye, before their divorce, was the major draw back in the glory years.
His recent strokes and resulting sabbatical have taken a huge toll on his ministry. Neither Mondo nor Ricky have what it takes to be successors.
Jim's biological son, Jay, WOULD be up to the challenge, but I think he and his dad are still estranged. Jay has a Minnesota ministry, and he is a liberal. He would attract a completely different following than his dad.

Who's old enough to remember that Reagan-era bumper sticker?
