Reply #202: Color Me Cynical

I have a very difficult time in accepting "repentance" from people who maintained their fame or wealth or who never saw a day of prison after their crimes or hypocrisy were exposed.

The world is full of "repentant" people who conveniently only saw the error of their ways after their lives came crashing down.

Now, if Eyelashes had left Bakker during the highlight of their PTL days, admitting their whole spiel was a scam and gave her fortune away to charity long before Hahn spread her legs, I would have an easier time believing the hype.

Show me a serial killer who turned himself in to police in remorse before the FBI traced him through a used computer disk.

Show me a child molester who turned himself in and paid restitution to his victims before being moved to another congregation.

Show me a Senator who quit his job after being diapered by a prostitute before Larry Flynt forced the issue.

My point is, the world is full of people who truly deserve sympathy and the ex-Ms. Bakker is way down that list.

Her and her ilk helped Reagan during the 80's. She was part of a movement that ruined lives... that is still ruining lives because of the policies they helped foster. Bakker, Swaggart, Falwell, Graham and all their kind... all cut from the same cloth.

Incidentally, cancer treatment is extremely expensive. I cannot help but think of all the cancer sufferers during the PTL heyday that could have spent their dwindling money supply on treatment or painkillers to maintain the dignity of their lives but who were suckered by these BASTARDS like the Bakkers, et. al. to send their money in to maintain a lavish lifestyle for those hypocrites, and that some of that money that could have kept them alive went instead to Eyelash's treatment when it was her turn to need the chemo.
