	Jimmy Swaggart - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Jimmy Swaggart, born March 15, 1935 in Ferriday, Louisiana, is a Christian preacher and pioneer of televangelism who reached the height of his popularity in the 1980s, prior to a highly publicized prostitution controversy in 1988.
		Swaggart blamed his problems on "demons" and claimed that controversial evangelist Oral Roberts had "cast out the demons" over the phone, thus assuring Swaggart was now free of moral defect.
		Swaggart also said that politicians who are undecided on the issue of same-sex marriage “all oughta have to marry a pig and live with him forever.” The comments prompted complaints that were filed with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council, the arm of the CAB that deals with viewer feedback.

		Swaggart's only public references to the devastation his moral failure wrought upon the church are to refer to them as "particular situations which transpired years ago" and to move hastily on.

	Seaman, Ann author of Jimmy Swaggarts Biography
		AS) People who criticize me for immortalizing Jimmy Swaggart might be the same people who, if they were followers of his, felt angry and betrayed when it turned out he was hypocritical enough to preach against fornication while doing it himself.
		Those who condemn Jimmy Swaggart because he is a hypocrite do not understand that his ministry emerged from contradiction and is woven from it -- that it came from flesh and depends on people's immersion in flesh -- and that neither he nor anyone else is capable of raising it higher than its own terms."
		Jimmy sincerely felt it was his mandate to help bring that about and, on the way, he and Frances kind of got swallowed up by the business end of things and the need to keep on making more and more money so they could buy more and more stations and air time.
