Jimmy Swaggart with Friends - Color Me a Story [Side 2] (20:31)

Eight years before his ministry was nearly destroyed by a series of visits to a $20 hooker, Rev. Jimmy Swaggart sought to expand his congregation by releasing this album of songs and Bible stories for children.  The piano-pumping first cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis is joined here by a green-skinned, web-footed freak named Dudley Mugwump who sounds a bit like Lil Markie at 16 RPM.  You can check out what Rev. Jimmy is up to these days by visiting his official site, (and I'm not making this up) jsm.org.

Ah yes... I have this on 8-Track.... Listening to Dudley has given me much amusement in the past. Certainly worth listening to, praise god.

[The Meat Beetles]

Oooooh, the Meat Beetles are going to have fun with this one! Thanks!

Fans of the late great Bill Burroughs will surely recognize the Mugwump from his writings; a short excerpt follows from the Naked Lunch.

"Mugwumps have no liver and nourish themselves exclusively on sweets. Thin, purple-blue lips cover a razor sharp beak of black bone with which they frequently tear each other to shreds in fights over clients. These creatures secrete an addictive fluid though their erect penises which prolongs life by slowing metabolism. (In fact all longevity agents have proved addicting in exact ratio to their effectiveness in prolonging life.)"

Sounds like a certain televangelist we all know and luv, yes?

Dudley Mugwump sounds a lot like Meatwad (from Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

dearest perry:

should your cursory attempt at self-gratification through the recycling and reposting of isolated, excised media as entertainment, both blatantly and transparently crying out:

"i'm very intrepid! i've been to sites on the internet that are not predictable for my age, creed, color! i'm reposting them so that others will know that i've been to these sites! i am going to prove that i am an intrepid aggrogater by mocking one of these sites that i frequent! my not-so-subtle parenthetical addendum asserting my post's super-obscureness and hyper-ubelievability guarantees that i am obscure and that its reader is less so!"

...should its easy-issuance unto a readership whom you assume share in your trivial delight-taking (or rather only in the limited delight-taking of this cursory posting) prove unfulfilling,

please read the information provided below. we think you will find it more substantive than audio selections from the largest selling evangelical catalogue of all time, but more importantly we think it might help you grow in grace and knowledge.

feel free to repost it as many times as you like.

we will keep you in our prayers.

THE PRICELESS CORNER

We have set aside this corner to show God�s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:

FIRST . . . GOD LOVES YOU!

�For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life� (Jn. 3:16).

SECOND . . . MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD!

�For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and sinneth not� (Eccl. 7:20).
�For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God� (Rom. 3:23).

THIRD . . . JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN!

�For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God . . .� (I Pet. 3:18).
�Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved� (Acts 4:12).

FOURTH . . . YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR.

Jesus calls this experience the �new birth.� He told Nicodemus: �. . . Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God� (Jn. 3:3).
We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. �But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name� (Jn. 1:12).

Pray this prayer and mean it with all of your heart:

Dear Lord Jesus, I now realize that I am a sinner. I accept the fact that You died for me on the rugged Cross of Calvary. I now open my heart�s door and receive You as Saviour and Lord of my life. Please take full control of me and help me to be the kind of Christian You want me to be. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child of God. So that we might rejoice with you, we invite you to fill out the information below and mail it to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, P.O. Box 262550, Baton Rouge, LA 70826-2550. In Canada, mail to Jimmy Swaggart Ministries of Canada, P.O. Box 1020, Niagara Falls, Ontario, L2E 6V9. We will send you a free copy of Jimmy Swaggart�s book What Must I Do To Be Saved? This book will help you grow in grace and knowledge.

Nice one, MRJYN.

[K.]

Dearest Mr. Jyn,

Let's open our bibles (KJV naturally) to Mark 11:15.

"And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;"

Yep, Jesus definitely didn't like folks turning his ministry into a dry goods store. Something to think about, for those managing the largest selling evangelical catalogue of all time. You should try reading the New Testament sometime; it's got a lot of good advice in it besides the obscure fragments you use to rob the poor.

I know that Jimmy Swaggart had some problems, he seemed to be afflicted with the very thing a good deal of the collegiate community was telling me I was odd for not doing.
Regardless of his personal mistakes.
Is anyone charging that the theology presented is not sound?
That is my problem.
What I saw on tv and radio seemed to be sound theology, for the understanding of theology that his particular persuasion embraced.
I guess I am saying that if you have only enjoyed life yourself and not been used of God to improve the life of another, then maybe you should be about that task before you object to someone else who is activly attempting to help others.
