PTL - PRAISE THE LOOT CLUB
EXPLANATION OF BEGETTING BY JIM AND TAMMY BAKKER
Many times in the Bible the word "be-getting" or to "have been the father" is used. Unfortunately some of these TV "profits" have been caught doing after hours be-getting. Either off stage with a 
hooker, or when caught filling water vials from a tap, cheating, and stealing from the flock.
You know them from their fall from grace as the Jim and the late Tammy Bakker, the Popoff's, and the Swaggarts, lots of begetting there.
One of the most tragic stories is that of Jim Bakker a former restaurant helper turned evangelist and his wife Tammy Fay Bakker who died at 62 from a long bout with cancer.
CLEARWATER FLORIDA
Hey, Jim Bakker begetted right here on Clearwater Beach, about six miles from me with a Ms. Jessica Hahn. Turns out she was good enough for Playboy, a knockout. At least he had good taste.
Thats what happened to Jim Bakker. The problem was he was legally, morally, and spiritually begotten to the late Queen of Mascara, Tammy Fay Bakker. (Begotten - past tense of begetting) What ever the reasons for the begetting, thats not what brought them down, it was the use of money they got as donations that didn't arrive at the promised land. He promised hotels and rooms and they used it differently.
FROM WIKIPEDIA - THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER:
PTL's fund raising activities between 1984–1987 underwent scrutiny by The Charlotte Observer newspaper, eventually leading to criminal charges against Jim Bakker. From 1984 to 1987, Bakker and his PTL associates sold $1,000 "lifetime memberships", which entitled buyers to a three-night stay annually at a luxury hotel at Heritage USA.
According to the prosecution at Bakker's later fraud trial, tens of thousands of memberships had been sold, but only one 500-room hotel was ever completed. Bakker "sold" more "exclusive partnerships" than could be accommodated, while raising more than twice the money needed to build the actual hotel. A good deal of the money went into Heritage USA's operating expenses, and Bakker kept $3.4 million in bonuses for himself.
GOOD TASTE
The $279,000 payoff for the silence of Jessica Hahn, a woman who was mistakenly supposed to be a Bakker staff member, was paid by Tammy Faye's later husband, Roe Messner. Hahn was actually a one-time acquaintance of Bakker, set up by a "friend" in 1980. Sort of a "Hooker by Crooker" relationship.
Bakker, who apparently made all of the financial decisions for the PTL organization, allegedly kept two sets of books to conceal the accounting irregularities. Reporters from The Charlotte Observer, led by lead reporter Charles Shepard, investigated and published a series of articles regarding the PTL organization's finances.
On March 19, 1987, following the revelation of a payoff to Jessica Hahn to keep secret her allegation that Bakker had raped her, Bakker resigned from PTL. Bakker acknowledges he met Hahn at a hotel room in Clearwater Beach, Florida, but denies raping her.
Following Bakker's resignation as PTL head, he was succeeded in late March, 1987, by Jerry Falwell. The Supreme Ayatollah of God's mirth till Pat Robertson came along. Later that summer, as donations sharply declined in the wake of Bakker's resignation and the end of the Bakkers' popular PTL Club TV show, Falwell raised $20 million to help keep the Heritage USA Theme Park solvent, including a well-publicized waterslide plunge there. No, I know what you are thinking. A miracle. Nope, he slid down the slide, no walk on water routines, no parting of the pool, just slid his butt down the slide like most mortals. I have seen better water shows at Sea World, similar, whales sliding in a pool.
FRIEND , FIEND OR FOE
Falwell called Bakker a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history." In 1988, Falwell said that the Bakker scandal had "strengthened broadcast evangelism and made Christianity stronger, more mature and more committed".
Bakker's son, Jay, wrote in 2001 that the Bakkers felt betrayed by Falwell, whom they thought, at the time of Bakker's resignation, intended to help in Bakker's eventual restoration as head of the PTL ministry organization. Kettles and pots each calling each other black. So common amongst crooks.
