Sat Aug 21 2010This creature had AIR CONDITIONED DOG HOUSES, and I worked with the man who built them. There is no amount of 'repenting' that could make up for the damage this poison she sold continues to cause. DO NOT SEND THESE ASSHOLES MONEY.

Tue Jul 15 2008You got to love her! She was a delight and a good witness for Jesus!

Fri Mar 21 2008Tammy Faye made some mistakes, but then again don't we all. I believe she loved the Lord. In the end she renewed her faith and died with honor.

Sat Feb 02 2008Tammy Faye had more love in her heart than all the rest of the "Christian" slicksters on TV put together. May she rest in heavenly peace..http://www.tammyfaye.com/Articles/SFWeekly_20011114 .htm

Sat Dec 15 2007Tammy was a wonderful woman of God. This is evident by even after her home going, her awesome legacy remains. As far as those who oppose her remember what she would say to you now, "I love you just the way you are!" I miss her smile and her vibrant spirit. I will see her again soon for I'm going to heaven. I'm sure Tammy has redecorated at least part of it...lol!

Fri Oct 05 2007Let's try a little experiment, and it's not hard to do at all. It begins with pointing the index finger. We all know who or what we may be pointing at with that one finger. But take a look at the other three fingers -- where are they pointing? No matter what Tammy did on this earth, right or wrong, God is the one who knew her heart best. Inspecting fruits is one thing, but we need to be sure we are completely without spot or blame before we look at the faults of others.

Thu Sep 13 2007Tammy Bakker was a great "Christian comedian/actress" who loved the limelight. I am sorry she had to suffer, but she was no godly example of a role model of what a Christian woman should be. She "reacted" against her heritage Assembly of God for banning her mother from playing the piano or serving in the church because she got a divorce. So Tammy went in the extreme opposite direction to rub it in their nose when she became famous by wearing the heavy makeup, tons of jewelry and showing cleavage on tv. She reacted the same way when PTL crumbled due to their own pride and arrogance when none of the other famous ministers came to support them. Instead, it was a group of homosexuals, Tammy's "good samaritans" that came to her aid, SO they became her example of real love in action. Well, God loves the homosexual just as much as the adulterer, etc...SINNERS WE ALL ARE!! BUT, we hope we can lead them in the right direction and not see them as God's amabassadors of Truth!! So, when s... Read more

Fri Aug 03 2007She exposed the Christian religion for what it truly is: a grotesque freak show. What do you expect from a cult that preaches human sacrifice, cannibalism, and holy incest. God impregnated his own mother so he could be his own father so he could sacrifice himself for things his creations could not help doing! Christianity is mental illness, and nothing but.

Sun Jul 29 2007She preached until hours before her death. What an incredible lady. I met her once at a church and she was so anointed and talented.

Mon Jul 23 2007I'm sure she has made some wrong decisions and some right decisions in her life, as we all have. But in the end, she has but one Judge; we all will give account to that same Judge. Who among us has the right to pick up that first stone?

Mon Jul 23 2007This tiny woman, 4'11" tall, was much more attractive in person than on the air. She loved and accepted everyone. EVERYONE.

Sun Jul 22 2007I agree with Flick on this one. Time to forgive and forget. Besides, will holding a grudge forever change the past? Update: Hopefully she finds the peace that eluded her in life...

Fri Jul 20 2007As another reviewer has noted, Tammy Faye was recently (7/19/07) on Larry King and it's obvious she does not have much longer to live. At this point she is already a walking corpse and talks in a little more than a whisper. In another review I made a few years ago I came down hard on her (through the use of parody) for her heavy makeup and quest for riches as evidenced by her lifestyle when she and ex husband Jim Bakker were living the high life. I'm not as critical of the Bakkers as I once was because they have paid for their abuses. They lost their empire, it cost them their marriage, Jim did jail time during which Tammy divorced him, and their credibility among the evangelical community as well as the general public would be at best, only partially restored. We have all made mistakes and some reviewers, by their own admission, have even spent time in prison. For people like us, our mistakes may initially make the local papers but they are soon forgotten. None of us would want our mi... Read more

Fri Jul 20 2007I don't like her; to me, she was, like her husband, a cheap crook and hustler. I'm an agnostic, so I think the people who were taken in by them were poor, pitiful fools, but I do know sincere Christians, good-hearted people, and she and her husband (and other tawdry grifters like Swaggart, Tilton, Popoff, etc.) gave, and still give, the Christianity of worthy people a bad name. Still, she didn't murder anybody, never sold drugs to anybody or robbed a bank at gunpoint, she never lied her followers into a war. I saw her image on TV the other night, and it was shocking indeed. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Out of basic human compassion, I hope she's at peace with herself and can take comfort in whatever version of God she may now believe in. I hope when her end comes, that it's easy for her.

Fri Jul 20 2007I do not wish suffering or premature passing on her; and for that I can say that I am sorry. For me however, that is where it stops. I agree with Flick's review with one exception- the things she did were not "mistakes". In calculated fashion, she took advantage of the aged, the poor, the sick , and the stupid, and she did it all in the name of God. Then, when the spit hit the spam, she couldn't wait to divorce her husband who was jailed for crimes in which she was complicit. Again, sorry for her physical suffering, but the woman is a hypocrite.

Wed May 02 2007I hope she is able to conquer her cancer.It is difficult to rate her too highly. I watched as her and her former husband Jim Baker did their thing. I also have felt that she was not modest in her use of makeup. There may have been a reason, but it neither looked good or right to me.I'll say that I haven't followed her too much in recent years, and that is why I have given her 2 starts instead of only 1. It is my hope that she is blessing believers with her music, and has got her feet firmly on the straight and narrow these days.

Thu Apr 05 2007people like her and her ex husband really give christians a bad name . I pray that she has found Jesus.

Fri Mar 30 2007I love Tammy and all her imperfections, maybe I'm a duped Christian, but I rather be that than someone who spreads gossip about someone even if it is true.

Mon Mar 05 2007I have to give her credit for providing more unintentional belly-laughs than almost anyone else on this list.
by go10go4
Mon Mar 05 2007I'm not sure Tammy every recognized the impropriety of what she and husband Jim did to their flock. Her appearances on "secular" TV, and her lack of spiritual insight on the same, lead one to believe she may never have "gotten it." Was she really so clueless as to the ramifications of her behavior, and its negative affect on others' perception of Christianity? I hope not.

Fri Mar 02 2007About 25 years ago I was in the Denver Airport. One of the big sellers in the tee shirt shops was Tammy Faye's picture in her hideous makeup smeared on a tee shirt with the logo, I ran into Tammy Faye Bakker in Stapleton Airport!

Fri Mar 02 2007Poor ol' Tammy Faye, she's been dying for years. Its hard to feel sorry for someone who so squandered the money sent to her and her husband by the faithful. Don't know if she learned anything from that but she's still peddling her schtick on TBN. Anything for a buck.
by sticgirl
Thu Mar 01 2007Tammy Faye appears to be on her deathbed with hospice care. That makes me very sad. She loves the Lord and I still believe in miracles. She's a great evangelist & singer.

Wed Feb 14 2007Tammy is one of the few examples of a true Christian that you will find out there right now!!!
by buysomegold_no_w
Mon Feb 05 2007gave her one star as a Christian leader, she brought huge ridicule to the faith with her extremely immature life. Of course she is deserving of prayer as we ALL are sinners and have failed, I too have been very immature at times as a Christian. Her life is a lesson of what to avoid as a Christian. But in heaven she will be perfect as that is what the bible says. I do agree with the post about Benny Hinn, why doesn't she go get healed at one of those services ? That needs no comment, Benny Hinn, a very troubling subject indeed, from start to finnish.

Sat Feb 03 2007Tammy Faye may have been caught up in the flare of televangelsim and all it's trappings, but in reality, she is just like we all: human. God is an all forgiving God who loves us when we don't love ourselves or when we are not loved by others. His blood has covered our sins and upon our confession to Him, we are totally forgiven. I would have wanted she and Jim to have stayed together. I see Jim on television his new ministry from Missouri now and it just doesn't seem the same with this new wife. God put them together and as God forgave them they should have forgiven each other and worked it out. I pray for Tammy's healing. Either way, she will be with the Lord, here, or there in heaven. Bob

Sat Jan 13 2007Great Christian and has done so much to win souls to the Lord via TV and churches. I think she is fun, yet very serious about her love for God.
by beforeandafter
Thu Dec 28 2006No matter what some of you may say, Tammy is a good person. She believes in Jesus (and the Rapture and born-again experience). I know she has worked hard for the Lord and loves people. If God heals her I will rejoice. If He chooses to take her to Heaven, I'll be sad and miss her, but I'll still rejoice that she'll be in Heaven.

Sat Dec 16 2006Tammy Faye is in need of real prayer, not ridicule. She was on Larry King Live last night via phone. It's not clear if the colon cancer she has had for 9 years and spread to her lungs will take her life in a few days or a few months, yet there is always the possibility of a miracle. At least we can pray for her not to be in pain. None of us are innocent, yet that's why Jesus Christ came to take our sins if we believe. At this holy time of the year, forgiveness and love are in order. Bless ya, Tam.

Thu Nov 30 2006Tammy Faye has been called of God to serve and she has done the best job she can. I hate to see people judging at all, let alone about makeup or hair styles. I'm not saying she isn't eccentric, but many people are, and at least Tammy has the talents to preach, teach, sing, play music, etc. As many have said, I'm concerned about her and praying for her.

Sat Nov 04 2006From the little I hear and read, Tammy is desperately ill. I pray for her and feel bad that she is suffering. She is a good preacher and has a heart of gold.

Fri Oct 27 2006Very sincere person in my opinion. She is not doing well healthwise, but still believing for a healing miracle. After the problems with Jim, it seems Tammy has made her life better and has served God very well even through her sickness.
by cloudten
Sat Oct 21 2006Praying for her health. I was blessed to actually be at a church where Tammy preached and sang. She was unbelievably talented and extremely spiritual. Her theology is right on. Wish she were well enough to be on TV with her own religious program.
by wyldhype
Wed Sep 20 2006we've got all positive ratings for her yet horrible ratings for Copeland, Dollar, McClendon, Price and Osteen. Have you read about her story? How do we know that she is anymore called than Creflo Dollar? I am not knocking Ms. Faye but I've read so many negative comments on other preachers and Tammy Faye is regularly on TBN (which has controversy too) and she was involved in controversy years ago. What makes her any different from Joyce Meyer or Kathryn Kuhlman? I am not judging, just making a comment. It seems like people have set their religious darts against preachers who preach prosperity, healing and delieverance. It is a shame that Christians are not walking in love.

Fri Sep 08 2006It's very sad that she has suffered so much from cancer. Hopefully she will be back to serve God soon and we'll see her.
