  Jim Bakker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry Falwell called Bakker a liar, embezzler, sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in two thousand years of church history." Falwell, controversial in his own right, was rumored to be using the situation to gain control of a leading broadcast competitor.
Bakker's absence resulted in a fierce fight for control of the PTL Inspirational Network, then the leading Christian cable television network in the country, among several other prominent televangelists, which Falwell won.
Under Falwell's leadership, the PTL Inspirational Network along with PTL's 2500 acre Heritage USA resort was plunged into bankruptcy within a short time and was liquidated at a deep discount.

PTL (standing for "Praise The Lord" and "People That Love") was a conservative religious group and TV network.
Formed in Charlotte, North Carolina and later moved to Fort Mill, South Carolina, a Charlotte suburb, the PTL Club was a very successful televangelistic group throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s.
It is noted that "Bakker arranged for Falwell to take over PTL in March in an effort to avoid what he called a "hostile takeover" of the television ministry by people threatening to expose a sexual encounter he admitted to having seven years earlier with church secretary Jessica Hahn."

It was widely reported that Falwell's interest in PTL and Heritage USA was solely an attempt to gain control of its profitable cable television network; something which Falwell was unsuccessful in establishing for his own ministry despite numerous requests to the FCC for permission to obtain a satellite license.

 Approximating Uncertain Term Logic Using Time-Skewed Hebbian Learning
The Hebbian Logic Network is a unique neural network architecture, in which the relationship between symbolic logic and neural net learning dynamic is fairly simple and clear.
            The network of inheritance and similarity links between subnetworks is a kind of “logical network” that exists on a higher level from the network of neurons and synapses, but is implicit in the latter, emergent from the latter, and evolves implicitly based on the dynamics of the latter.
B

“exists in” a neural network, what we mean is that it emerges from the network according to the above definition, not that it is explicitly represented in the network by a synapse or any other particular structure.

 DVD Review - The Eyes of Tammy Faye
Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato (co-directors and producers of this film) go to great lengths to paint Tammy Faye as a person who was as affected by the goings-on of her life with Jim Bakker as she was by her portrayal by the media.
They made millions of dollars for the network (and Jim, the Courts found, for himself) before the network was brought to its knees amid allegations of financial mismanagement and Jim's marital infidelities with uber-tacky, future Playboy vixen, Jessica Hahn.
She wrote letters to Jerry Falwell, Jessica Hahn and others involved with the downfall of the PTL network, but was either turned down or got no response.

The network reports that during the first twenty years of the network's operation, Paul and Jan were paid roughly one-tenth their current income, with the amounts rising in the past ten years as they approached retirement.
The network has attracted criticism for its continuous fundraising activities, including a "prosperity gospel," an offshoot of the Word of faith doctrine that appears to promise donors, including impecunious ones, that God will make them rich as long as they have faith and give to TBN.
Network officials blamed the cancellation mostly on health concerns for both Paul and Jan Crouch, the latter of whom had recent gall badder surgery.

PTL network is a collection of people with dependencies on each other.
Networks can be Complete, Incomplete, incomplete stable safe, incomplete stable unsafe, incomplete unstable etc. The effort has to be to create a stable network, and if that is not possible, shoot for a stable safe network, and if not that go for a stable unsafe one.
An unsafe network might be stable now, but is more likely to break apart coz the people who feel are receiving the raw end of the deal might quit.

 Guardian | At 10 she found God. At 16 she found make-up. And the two have never left her
In the 1980s, when she and Jim Bakker, her then husband, headed the Praise The Lord (PTL) television ministry, spreading the gospel to 13.5m homes and generating more than $120m annually, her spidery eyelashes and crocodile tears served as fodder for countless late-night television satires.
Then, in 1987, Jim Bakker publicly admitted using $265,000 of PTL money in an unsuccessful bid to buy the silence of Jessica Hahn, a church secretary who claimed he had sex with her in a Florida hotel room.
With her husband convicted of defrauding PTL supporters of $158m and sentenced to prison, she was reduced to selling off her television wardrobe to get by.

 San Francisco - Arts & Entertainment - Born Again? - sfweekly.com
She has been little heard of in the 12 years since husband Jim Bakker was disgraced, caught cheating on his wife and stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from his Praise the Lord Network faithful, and she was banished to the acrid nowhere of the California desert.
Oh, she might turn up here and there -- on Roseanne's talk show, watched by the faithful dozens, or co-hosting her own ill-fated talk show with the human punch line JM J. Bullock -- but Tammy Faye was, more or less, nothing but an eyeliner smudge on obscurity's dead-end highway.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye recounts what by now has become a tiny, tear-stained tragedy symptomatic of the go-go greed of the 1980s: the rise and fall of the most famous televangelist in the country, who was sentenced to 45 years in federal prison for committing fraud.

Robertson, a former Republican presidential candidate and founder of the influential conservative Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Coalition, has a long record of similar apocalyptic warnings and provocative statements.
This time, with the Bakkers fully in control, their show grew quickly until it was carried by close to a hundred stations, with average viewers numbering over twelve million, and the Bakkers had established their own network, The PTL Network.
When the PTL scandal destroyed fellow Assemblies of God minister Jim Bakker, Swaggart publicly denounced Bakker as "a cancer on the body of Christ." Shortly afterward Swaggart faced his own sex scandal, as a private investigator hired by a rival evangelist Marvin Gorman documented a series of meetings with prostitutes.
