[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 425610, member: 19949"] Jimmy Swaggart has died. [URL unfurl="true"]https://people.com/jimmy-swaggart-dead-televangelist-11756150[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://deadline.com/2025/07/jimmy-swaggart-dead-1236446723/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.expressandstar.com/world-news/2025/07/01/prostitution-scandal-televangelist-jimmy-swaggart-dies-at-90/[/URL] I watch Jimmy Swaggart's SBN television channel quite frequently because it provides a good insight into a certain brand of American Christianity that is foreign to me. From his cardiac arrest two weeks ago until his death today, several of his family members, who appear on TV as well, constantly praised how viewers would show their love for Jimmy by donating to what turned out to be the highest-grossing telethon of all time ($4.7 million) two weeks ago and again today at the monthly Biblethon, where viewers can purchase (highly overpriced) Bibles that are then delivered to third-world countries for missionary work. Jimmy's condition was exploited by his family a lot, but I guess that's exactly what Jimmy Swaggart would have wanted. [/QUOTE]
