Tammy Faye was a financial predator preying on the elderly, the gullible, the vulnerable, seeking their assets to support her own lavish lifestyle.

Darrell, my son says the same thing about Tammy Faye (although he was never ostracized, he and his friends were always fond of her, as was I). It was and still is rare for an evangelical to be as accepting and supportive as she.

That’s a terrific comment and a great post too Darrell!

See? There was something there. However odd she might have seemed and however mangled her theology, she still embodied the christian virtues of kindness, caring, agape love… and because of that, she opened some eyes (a wee bit).

I just wrote an entry at my blog about Tammy Faye.

When I first came out of the closet as a gay man, my family ostracized me, wrote me out of their wills, even prayed for my death. I honestly believe that because of Tammy Faye’s support of the gay community, my family was able to follow her example overcome their narrow theology and re-establish a relationship with me.

I will always be grateful to Tammy Faye.

I am going to have to try and get a loan on that collateral she was using myself! That sounds like quite a deal.
