Donnie Swaggart Divorcing Second Wife

yeah, on one hand I don't think there is anything wrong with God blessing his people extravagantly, abraham, job, king david, solomon, and others were granted abundant life, which includes finances. You can have money God gives you as long as it doesn't have you. we don't chase after money, but God. God will throw riches at you IF its a portion of his plan for you. but since they were so controversial through scandal, a more conservative lifestyle would have been more....appropriate. I never followed his ministry. I know nothing of donnie.

You people are all scary.

makes me sick in the stomach
Benny hinn/Jim Bakker

Rodney Brown
Oral Roberts.....
you fools give them 10% of your hard earnings each week and deprive yourself and your family.
Why can't you see that you have been so horribly taken in for the fools that you are?
Ask why it is that these pastors live is obscene luxury while you struggle.?
ask why, these evangelical churches have ammassed multi milion dollars wealth and assets and yet they give NOTHING to the poor, the needy and society in general (only small token lip service for appearence sake).

for all its faults and controversy, the catholic church should be absolutely praised for the charity work they have done thruout the impoverished and starving third world countries.

The poor selfless nuns have provided education and health care and alleviated the misery of millions, and for no gratitude.

today the catholic schools and hospitals are at the cutting edge of respective services. If I am sick I would rather go to a catholic hospital than anywhere else.

What have tehse demonic pastors done with the multi million dollars donated by christians born again fools?

swaggarty is a TOOL of the satin.
A BIG FAT TOOL.
And he screws prostitutes just like daddy did and does

Millionaire Preachers & Parishioners? Sure, Why Not?

A friend of mine called the other day to complain,
“R.A. Vernon has a mansion and a private plane, ”
Dumbfounded because he just couldn’t understand,
My reply to him was only one single word, “And? ”

“I desire fruit that may abound to your account, ”
Is found in Philippians 4: 17, so what’s the amount?
Sowing sparingly or bountifully,2nd Corinthians 9: 6,
This is a biblical fact of scripture, not a magic trick.

Look at the CEO of Wall Street’s Goldman Sach’s,
100 million in bonus pay, why isn’t he under attack,
Think about the billion dollar insurance giant AIG,
Perks are given in the middle of pending bankruptcy.

The only reason there were complaints about the latter,
Our wallets are getting leaner, theirs were getting fatter,
And how do you reward a company like AIG that fails?
Do we set criminals free instead of sending them to jail?

If athletes can generate billions playing a game,
While movie stars live exquisitely, it’s the same,
But someone spreading the word should be ashamed,
Joyce Meyer alone brings in billions, why is that insane?

However, it is not for Joyce but the worldwide ministry,
Her funds comes not from tithes but her books, check & see,
She makes plenty more from compact discs and her DVD’s,
Athletes and entertainers fly in private jets so why can’t she?

In religious circles we are tithing of our own free choice,
Instead of donating to the state lottery some give to Joyce,
Unlike stocks where money is lost for the mortgage or rent,
Malachi 3: 10, God pours out a sure blessing for only 10%.

Her sermons spread the word of Jesus around the world,
Food, medicine, education to thousands of boys and girls,
Impoverished nations probably never able to hear or see,
And experience the wonders of a faithful gospel ministry.

I know many who criticize Creflo Dollar & Fred K.C. Price,
Plus other financially successful preachers, so who is right?
Been in churches, it’s 95 outside while inside the air is broke,
So is the church, I want to get the message not have a stroke.

I hear preachers, “you can have the world only give me Christ, ”
Jesus was a healer & He took food for 1 then fed 1,000’s right?
To me this statement truly has to be some kind of unfunny joke,
John 10: 10, He came so we might have life, not be sick & broke.

There’s no issue when boxers make 50 million in one fight,
An adultery laced feature film pulls 100 million overnight,
Where is the concern when inner city youth kill each other?
Just don’t allow the gospel preached by a well-to-do brother.

Tell me if you were God, what would you honor the most?
A three point shot or someone spreading the Holy Ghost?
A home run, hole-in-one, ace serve, the intercepted pass?
Or, sincerely seeking the Lord through prayer with a fast?

Our priorities have become twisted and turned around,
Kingdom principles are rarely planted on solid ground,
When movies like, “Sex And The City” are all the rage,
Now more than ever there’s a need for souls to be saved.

The bible confirms Jesus only came for two reasons, right?
To seek & save the lost & for us to have more abundant life,
Why wait for kingdom eternity to have all the Father is worth?
As a joint heir & conqueror you can also have it now on earth.

Alas, beware of those who say seek only His face & not His hand,
“If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land, ”
Isaiah 1: 19 and Deut.28, above & not beneath, head & not the tail,
The only people who say you cannot are those who tried and failed.

Why do you never hear negative from a millionaire preacher’s mouth?
While anyone in a state of lack usually seems to be of speaking doubt,
Once told someone Philippians 4: 19, “God shall supply all your needs, ”
He said, God didn’t say anything about wants, is that what you believe?

Of course, to be successful you don’t have to be worth multi-mega bucks,
However, as a child of the King neither should you be down on your luck,
Recite Job 22: 28, “thou shall decree ” 1st Chronicles 4: 10, the Jabez prayer,
It is not Father God but the devil who doesn’t want you to be a millionaire.

Are there crooked preachers sure just Google, Robert Tilton who airs on BET,
Dumpsters are filled with prayer request after he takes out the checks & money,
But remember, there are also many crooked stockbrokers and attorneys as well,
So, before tithing be sure you’re not buying a first class one way ticket to hell.

Hebrews 4: 16, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, ”
KJV, this means that it’s perfectly okay to seek His Hand and His Face,
Faint not! Galatians 6: 9, “Keep on doing good & in due time you'll reap, ”
Because Hebrews 11: 6, “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek.”

Precious metals, some things used for currency is a funny thing,
Not with blood, sweat and tears but only money can buy a ring,
And although it takes those three to get diamonds from a mine,
Yet, hard labor by the workers is rarely paid equal to their time.

For sure there are those who demand a seed but for their own crop,
Ok, Google Dr. Tood Coontz, Dr. Robert Tilton & Dr. Mike Murdock,
It's why above all other things you must be absorbed with the word,
You alone will be held accountable by acting on what you've heard.

If there is a problem with anything it’s putting the cart before the horse,
Still can’t figure out why so many preachers get married then divorced,
Before hand, your future spouse had to be aware of your calling in life,
Can any preacher minister when they can’t control their husband, wife?

While we are on the subject of an amount earned or paid,
More firefighters and cops, than “stars” see an early grave,
We also need a movement to increase the salary of teachers,
So they can live in the neighborhood of Millionaire Preachers.

Just keep sending donations...you will be blessed.

Can you name ONE person in the Bible who got rich by preaching the Word of God? I can't. They got rich by being successful farmers and ranchers, but they didn't get rich by selling religion. The closest anyone in the Bible comes to televangelists is the priests who were repeatedly castigated for taking their portion off the top of what was given to God.

fancy comapring a pastor and his obscene income to that of a company CEO.
for the CEO to get equivalent salary has the huge responsibility of running a company with perhaps 1000's of dependands employees and subcontractors.
Pastors produce NOTHING. They don't even have to go to college.
all they require is charisma and the gift of the gab, to just talk and preach and give his twisted spin to the bible.
The bible has been written in such equivocal way to aid and abete these crooked pastors so that he can twist the words of the bible to imply whatever he wants to imply.
These pentecostal churches are like sects, brain washed self contained congregations, totally depended on teh pastor and they give nothing back to society.

and on top of that...all their incomes is tax free unlike that of a company CEO

So you accuse him if a divorce,but list no proof of it,If he did divorce do you know the specifics on why he did? The Bible says a person can divorce if there was infidelity was there on her part? Thats right we do not know so stating garbage like this without proof is nothing.The Swaggarts both work tirelessly and do you think a workman should be paid for what he does? The reason they are no longer on the WGN network and other networks is because they started their own network called Son Life Broadcasting and probably did not need to be there any longer.Some people cannot get over the past,Jimmy made a mistake 20 years ago and all people can see is the mistake and not the good that was done.Everyone is blinded by the spec ,but cannot see all the souls saved past the spec.The Bible says judge not lest you be judged,but if you judge judge righteously so I say maybe you had better reevaluate before judging so harshly.

The mega church preacher down the road travels around in the church's private business jet (Gulfstream), lives in a very nice home, of course has the fancy cars, and everybody knows it ... and still gives.

The mega church pastor could definitely devote more of the church resources towards it's various ministries, of which it has a number that it supports both here in the US and overseas, if he would live a more middle class life, but alas he does have a big ego and the gift of gab and believes he is "worthy" of the lifestyle that he leads.

I don't agree ... but then I am a product out the middle class mainstream church side of life, not the mega church, mega ego, side of religion.

Old Jimmy is still alive?

Damn, I could have swore he died long ago.

Yes, and he is a wonderful preacher today. Amazing what godly sorrow and genuine repentance can do to a man of God who has fell. Moses, David, Saul (Paul) are but a few examples.

Tune in and listen and you'll hear the cross of Jesus Christ preached clearly. Proof that God still pardons sinners and uses them to convey His message, to the confounding of all who are without grace and unable to forgive.

Proof that any idiot can "preach the gospel".

ALL of these TV preachers that have gotten rich by fleecing the flock and not living the Christian life are all going to hell. They pretend to be Christian but its all just a way to get rich. They worship satan and are a product of multigenerational satanism.

If the Baptist church wasn't so full of santanic pedophile preachers this wouldn't be such a problem. Its worse in the black baptist church.

Give your money and time to your local Christian groups and stay away from these evil satanic preachers.

Once someone has been conditioned to believe in imaginary friends and fairy tales, it is very easy to convince them to give you 10% of their wages. All you have to do is put on a production and make them feel special. Getting billions out of these fools is like taking candy from a baby.

You can say what you will, But Jesus said that he or she that is with out sin cast the first stone. The Bible also say,s ALL have sined and come short of the Glory of God. I am glad that I am Save by the Blood of The Lamb and filled with The Holy Spirit and that I am called to Preach His Wounderful, and precious, Word for His Glory and Know mine. I am also glad that You are not my judge. God will judge me by my life in His Son's finished work at Calvary. Praise His Holy Name Jesus. Amen

OP-

Unintentionally... You just opened the door for the haters to attack...

I'm sure you didn't mean to.

Should show you, though, that following media icons is far different from sitting quietly, and listening to God.

Maybe Donnie and Jimmy should do the same...

Gd bless...

Reason #103 to stay out of the church system altogether. Christ alone, people!

Yes I tuned in Monday to see the bibleathon just days after over 300 people died in storms in 5 different states. I
messaged the swaggarts over facebook to see what jsm would do in light of this disaster. They deleted the post and didnt respond. I told them that Franklin Graham and 100 vols from his ministry were on the ground to help these people. Nothing from jsm. The money flows one way at JSM. Even old drunk Charlie Sheen came to help.. But not the mega pastors. Theres no money in helping people.And dont think I'm a Swaggart hater cause I watch every live service on mt dvr and have been to several camp meetings in Baton Rouge. The message of the cross is correct doctrine but I do question the one way flow of the money. And yes Donnie devorced Debbie the mother of his children to mary Judy. That didnt last long and he divorced again. The divorces dont bother me thow its the lack of concern for anything besides taking in money.

the lord will forgive any sin I just pray that the people that want to be the judge of something they no nothing about are right with god when they close there eyes in death.

The OP is posted pure speculation. You not only stated you didn't know the answer to your own questions, but you then proceeded to speculate on what you thought the answers were. I am just curious if you always allow yourself to be a tool of the devil.

To the others - why are you worried about it? If you don't believe in God, all this should mean nothing to you. If you do believe in God - then you know that God has his hand on the situation and will deal with any wrongdoing.

I happen to enjoy the Sonlife broadcasting and believe the ministry is ding a powerful work for God. You don't have to like or believe it. If it offends you turn it off. But don't sit around judging what you don't know and sasting dispergens on people you know nothing about. Ya know.... gossip is a sin...

Donnie dresses up in woman's lingerie and dances for his dad.

Oh God is this too funny! There are so called pastors who don't live high on the hog! And they are CROOKS ... Ha! Ha! They are just smarter than the showy BIG time preachers. They hide under the radar! Lol

you have the Benny Hinns, Bakeers, swaggered, TBN and the list goes on with their million dollar mansions. All these abusive cults.
There is a Dave or David Kincer who has been married 3times. What a group of cults. He has fooled all the innocent people for over 30yrs. He owns property then does wrap around loans to poor ministers. What is this world coming to. The vine church - carbon canyon took that church from another pastor sells it to Koreans for over 4.2 million. Moves to hide in lake Elsinore. Highest rate of prositiuion, crack addicts and homeless. Weeps at moments drop-off a dime. He isnlike Jimmy swaggert. Was robbed by a hookers boyfriend, it's all legal stuff guys. This man is on wife #3' he divorced all his wives. It's on the legal documents. He is under the radar. Has this highly emotionally daughter who must have HORMONE problems. Has 8 kids from lots of wives. He has a harem of WOMEN who speak for Dave Kincer. This church be careful to not go to this cult. Mountainside ministries. He divides families, just like Jimmy swaggert. Looks only for young people bcuz they can't think form themselves yet. Mind control. Oh, he thinks he is God, he has nothing but women whom surround him. He will preCh against gambling and what do u think his mountainside ministries is around CASINOS!!!!! Crack addicts, prostitutes, gambling, and he drinks when nobody is looking.. He owes $$$$ to many women leaders no pay. He convinces them they are serving HIS church. He buys homes secretive with tithing money for his children. Has bought cars with members tithing money. Sounds like a duck, walks like a duck!
Cult minister like Jimmy, bakers, TBN, Benny hinn. Who has the last laugh? They do. Crooked ministers. Have u ever heard of a so called pastor gamble??? Poor young people who force themselves to believe, and all he is doing is under the radar. What a shame. While he sits on.4.2 million has a trustbfund for his young wife who has to work. He drives poor cars, lives in a small home, acts poor but has a BOAT LOAD of cash. He is a CROOK like all thenothers.

Who are we to judge? God has blessd the ministry and if you would dig deper you would find out that jimmy lives off his music sells. They give thighes just as the rest of them do. I can't understand why you are so hateful about them, have you never sinned? I will be praying for all of you and I am a lowly sinner saved by the grace of God !!!
None of us knowa what goes on behind closed doors so please keep the gossip to yourselves. You are going against one of Gods annointed people and I would be scared to death for doing that because come judgement day we all will pay for what we have done so we must all ask for God to dorgive us, only God knows why he chooses the people to preach his word. GOD Bless you all.

Damn, not thats bad

Lets try this again, Damn, now thats bad

They give thighs, I am sure Jimmy would takd lots of thighs

Well, if a preacher is an idiot...

then a "New Age Messiah" must be even worse - a dumb ass, poor, idiot :-)
