Comments on: Tammy Faye Messner: March 7, 1942 – July 20, 2007 http://tatumweb.com/blog/2007/07/22/tammy-faye/ Pentecostal Rumination and Review Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:20:05 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Denna Kilpatrick http://tatumweb.com/blog/2007/07/22/tammy-faye/comment-page-1/#comment-68415 Denna Kilpatrick Tue, 23 Oct 2007 20:08:22 +0000 http://tatumweb.com/blog/2007/07/22/tammy-faye/#comment-68415 Thank God for the grace and forgiveness God gives, cause people sure are stingy with theirs. You guys amaze me. The things that we all do, repeat that we all do, need forgiveness and God's grace. So Tammy had to find out the hard way how to come back to Jesus just like she came to Jesus the first time, knowing she needed Him. I'm glad you're letting your judgemental attitudes shine so brightly and be so apparent, so that maybe God can let you see that you need forgiveness, too.

Whatever she or Jim Bakker did in the past, is in the past. She gave sweet testimony to the love of Jesus, that's all I can say. God forgives - why can't we? Not sure how I stumbled upon your blog, but glad for my visit. I saw Tammy Faye’s interview with Larry King just days prior to her death, and my heart was moved.

The Church at the time was either burying it's head or screeching that this was a curse from God.

I've read your blog where you have the temerity to judge the fate of Tammy's soul and the audacity to suggest she's fornicating with Jerry Falwell. Knock it off. I'll allow these posts to remain, but you're my guest here and this rudeness must stop now. Carry on at your own site however you wish, but not here. I'm no fan of either Tammy Faye or Jim Bakker or of any of the financial, sexual, or narcissistic shenanigans that went on around that ministry. But the announcement of her death is not a cause for pissing on her grave. Not here anyhow. <img height="30" alt="Rich" hspace="0" src="http://tatumweb.com/blog/pix/richsig.gif" width="58" vspace="4" border="0" /> Patty, stop it, please.

Children are trusting because they have not matured; their minds are still developing. Adults with the minds of children, for lack of a better term, suffer from mental retardation.

She claimed ignorance of where the money was coming from, but she had no trouble spending it. Only the weak-minded are taken in by televangelists like the Bakkers.

She had nothing to do with the day to day financial "juggling" that was going on at PTL. In her case, ignorance WAS bliss. Her husband Jim was indicted, not her.
