" It isn't really appropriate to state that Jrarchy which can exercise discipline over its credentialed ministers. This discipline is handled on the district level by a district superintendent and a district presbytery. (Districts roughly correspond with states, though some states have more than one district, and some districts comprise more than on state.) I believe that Bakker actually resigned his A/G credentialed before they were taken away (the Assemblies of God equivalent of "defrocking"), but I don't have anything other than personal recollection right now.

I deleted a long newspaper article that doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. See the article history for its conents. Also, when were Jim and Tammy Faye divorced? RickK 20:46, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Anyone have any actual biographical info that is not about the scandals? DJ Clayworth 15:16, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

There's not much available, since the scandal pretty much defined the Bakkers. What there is may have been written before the scandals, and since the scandals predate the Internet, they're likely not online. Realkyhick 01:42, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

He is a pretty dirty man. I see what Falwell meant. He gives a bad name to Pentecostals everywhere. I heard that he was also bisexual here, and since it is sourced added it to the article. Эйрон Кинни 06:42, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Frank Zappa - Jesus Thinks Your A Jerk This song may be worth mentioning in the same way it worth adding the Metallic reference. This song is almost exclusively about Jim, Tammy and Pat [1] This song is mentioned in the Tammy Faye Bakker article.

[edit] Jim Bakker's family

I really want more biographical info. I remember that sometime in 1999-2000 Rolling Stone magazine did an article on Jim Bakker's son, who has since covered himself in tattoos and started an urban ministry / skateboard enthusiast club. Can someone say more? 128.208.95.118 21:13, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Error regarding the Ozzy song

Miracle Man" is not about Bakker. It's actually about Jimmy Swaggart; ("Now Jimmy he got busted / With his pants Down"). In a live recording of the song tacked onto a later CD version of "No Rest for the Wicked" Ozzy introduces the song as "about a friend of mine named Jimmy Swaggart".

[edit] Bisexuality?
