The scumbag lived far longer than he should have.

Apparently, ~91yrs too long, in fact.

They’re highly motivated. Because they believe in a wrathful god they know whatever is waiting for them on the other side is going to be unpleasant

“Oh well 😀”

Imagine being so shitty that people consider it good news when they hear of your death. I should hope to at least aim for a neutral reaction, or better…

“Encounters” is such a funny way to phrase it. Like he was traveling through the woods on a quest and had to roll on the random table upon which a pack of wolves was also an option.

Swaggart “Can I roll to convince the sex workers to leave me alone?”

GM “Sure.”

Swaggart rolls a nat 20

Swaggart “Oh no, it looks like I rolled a nat 1. Looks like I have to sleep with the sex workers, again.”

Prostitution shouldn’t be a scandal. But also, all televangelists deserve to die.

gdog05@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 19:16 next collapse

Hypocrisy was the real scandal. Not so much the prostitution. I’m certain there was a ton of anti-sex work judgement to go along with that. But otherwise I fully agree.

dylanmorgan@sh.itjust.works on 01 Jul 22:41 collapse

It’s the hypocrisy. SW should be legal/decriminalized, but this motherfucker would have preached against fornication while getting a BJ under the pulpit if he thought he’d get away with it.

A classic. 🥰

riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 02 Jul 12:03 collapse

Had to chew on this to figure it out.

Enemas inject things, so why would it make someone smaller?

Enemas are used to clear stools. Constipation relief.

Ahh. I get it now.

Rhaedas@fedia.io on 02 Jul 12:52 collapse

Don't feel bad, it was a very subtle jab. The best part was it was at the end of a Fox News interview as they cut away, so it was what I liked to call a sarcasm grenade. Pull the pin, let it sit for a minute. Boom.

Even before I saw that guy preach, I thought he was the creepiest-looking person ever. His sermons and lifestyle don’t help.

I’ve never seen a person who looked more like a demon in a skin suit than Kenneth Copeland.

Contributors built Jimmy Swaggart Ministries into a business that made an estimated $142 million in 1986…

… Swaggart said publicly that his earnings were hurt in 1987 by the sex scandal.

Mawww.

AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space on 01 Jul 21:52 next collapse

He gave his name to the sin of swaggarcy, of diverting church funds to pay for sex.

El_guapazo@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 22:38 next collapse

Jimmy converted to Islam at the last second. He wanted to be surrounded by 72 virgin prostitutes.

dylanmorgan@sh.itjust.works on 01 Jul 22:39 next collapse

Took far too long. He got ~70 years more than he should have.

Christopher Hitchens on the death of Jerry Falwell

I love at the end: “If you gave him an enema, you could bury him in a matchbox.” I think of that every time I hear of another one of these evil fucking dominionists dying.
