is he the guy that said he was going to go live in a tower until someone gave him a million dollars? (or that God told him to live in a tower?). If so, my grandma sent him money...

Kinda sorta. He's the guy who said that God was going to "call him home" if he didn't raise $8 million in 3 months. That was an interesting 3 months.

Remember when Marvin Gorman and Jimmy Swaggart were going toe-to-toe in the infidelity department? Swaggart exposed Gorman's mistresses and he was defrocked by the Assemblies of God then Gorman had his son trail Swaggart. Swaggart was got with two different prostitutes and his ministry tumbled.

I remember that ...I'm from Baton Rouge where Swaggart's church and Bible College was. I remember people crying on the evening news saying, "The church without Jimmy Swaggart is like Christianity without Jesus!"
There is still the carcase of an unfinished dorm from the Bible College on Bluebonnet Lane marking his folly.

I get him and Bob Jones mixed up.

Or the looking better-than-expected, depending on your outlook.

I get Bob Jones and Jim Jones confused. Which is why I was  when I first heard of Bob Jones University. I couldn't figure out why a school would be named after the cyanide kool-aide guy.
Then again, I'm a midwestern Catholic, so I'm not up on my televangelists.

I saw that. I would have that it would have been converted to something by now. What amazes me is that the school is still open.
