What's his name? He's one of the better known TV Christian preachers on American television. Walks around with a microphone, a choir in the background, big show. He's a Neil Diamon kind of a guy, caucassian male with long straight hair.

He was convicted of embezzling his flock of money that was supposed to be donations and things like that, later made a tearful "God forgive me, I have sinned" speech on TV.

If somebody can tell me his name I will be able to look up additional info at Yahoo!

Jimmy Swaggart

I typed his name into Yahoo! search and his picture popped up.

But it looks like I have confused his case with that of another guy. Now I understand Jimmy was caught with prostitutes on a couple of occasions while the guy who stole the money was an African American preacher.

I saw him doing a show today and thought that as long as he's the same guy who got convicted of the finacial scam there's no way they'll let his face on TV again.

I hope you mean what is wrong with CHRISTIANS,...NOT "Christianity". To attribute a human failing to a concept that is completely ABOVE humanity is wrong.

The one thing that is WRONG with CHRISTIANITY is the one thing that also makes it right,...fallable and worldly-possessed humans. If we didn't need saving, Jesus would never have been sent.




...or at least that's what I believe.;) :)
