All those who live in Missouri are apparently safe from Armageddon. At least, that is what Jim Bakker is claiming. According to the televangelist, the best way to survive the apocalypse is to buy one of his cabins in the Ozark Mountains and fill it with six of his \u201cExtreme Survival Warfare\u201d water bottles. Each 28 ounce bottle costs $150.<\/p>\n
Bakker made his pitch during an episode of \u201cThe Jim Bakker Show\u201d on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, while promoting his Morningside church community. He stated that there was \u201cno where on Earth [someone] could live with more of God\u2019s generals\u201d than just outside Branson, Missouri. This, Bakker claims, is why God brought him to the area. He goes on to claim that research from \u201cthe government, from NASA, the research from so many of them, they have said in their research the safest place to live in troubled times is right here [outside Branson].\u201d So far, no one has been able to find the research Bakker is citing.<\/p>\n
To add to the confusion surrounding Bakker\u2019s remarks, he segued into his comments about the so-far unknown research after declaring that Branson has \u201cthe number one Christian theater in the world.\u201d The theater, Sight and Sound, \u201cwhich don\u2019t sound that spiritual probably\u201d was the subject of his declaration. Bakker then immediately turned his attention to his claims about governmental and NASA research stating that Branson was \u201cthe safest place to live in troubled times.\u201d<\/p>\n
While numerous people are curious about what research Bakker is referring to, many more have shrugged off Bakker\u2019s warnings as a sensational way to make a quick buck. His \u201cStaying Alive\u201d buckets of freeze-dried food are for sale for around $250, and the Morningside General Store also sells camouflage gear, 36 inch collapsible snow shovels, hammers, batteries and industrial grade flashlights. Bakker is hardly the only doomsday prophet getting extra attention given the tensions between North Korea and the U.S., but many people are wary of believing Bakker given his past. Bakker was convicted of 24 counts of wire and mail fraud and conspiracy in 1989 for which he served five years. He also faced scandal for his actions with Jessica Hahn, his former church secretary. According to Hahn, Bakker manipulated her into having sex when she was still working for the church. At the time, Bakker was still married to Tammy Faye. Faye filed for divorce while Bakker was in prison.<\/p>\n
Bakker may or may not have good intentions when it comes to selling his survival kits, but it is difficult for people to trust a sales pitch from someone who was imprisoned for fraud. Perhaps that will change, however, if Bakker\u2019s mysterious NASA research is ever brought to light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
