SCAM ALERT - "LOVE GIFTS" to Bakker....? - WHY would you?

....neither did my shepherds search for my flock,
but the shepherds fed themselves,
and fed not my flock;.... Behold,
I am against the shepherds;
and I will require my flock at their hand,
Ezekiel 34:8,10

"Jailed televangelist and accused rapist Jim Bakker is back in business hawking survivalist kits including everything from padded clothing to buckets of beans to enemas
  • The 74-year-old pastor served five years of a 45-year sentence for stealing MILLIONS from The PTL (Praise the Lord) Club
  • 'Money's gonna be worthless when disaster strikes,' Bakker shouted to the audience of his new TV ministry, urging them to buy his supplies
  • While married to Tammy Faye Bakker he was accused of raping church secretary Jessica Hahn and had to resign 
  • He paid her $279,000 to keep quiet
  • Tammy Faye divorced him in 1992; she died of cancer in 2007

The disgraced 74-year-old pastor, who served five years of an original 45-year prison sentence for fraud and conspiracy, has also got a daily TV broadcast that airs on various Christian TV stations. On it, he's promoting his Morningside Church – a Christian retreat and retirement community set on 600 acres of land near Branson, Missouri.
Of course, Bakker doesn't technically own Morningside.  He still owes the IRS more than $6 million in taxes he neglected to pay in the 1980s. 
And their big push right now is on survival products, which Bakker calls 'Love Gifts.'
Among the offerings are the Time of Trouble Beans Offer, consisting of 14 totes full of black bean burger mix for $3,000; Bakker's Dozen Extreme Canteen Kit, including 13 packs of ponchos, thermal blankets, glow stick and whistles for $500; and his Survival Food Brick Monthly Club with 90 servings of food for $50 per month.
And $3,000 will buy you seven whole years of food packets with a bonus of TWO survival DVD's – providing your DVD player still works post disaster. 
There's one more bonus if you hurry… A LARGE PRINT Bible – perhaps in case you misplace your glasses while running for your life. 
But that's not all folks! You're gonna need a survival suit.
'Bakker's survival gear is made out of a sort of Khaki green padded nylon,' says a source familiar with the line. 'But by the time you dress everyone in your household – it could cost you a small fortune
'You'll pay $200 for each pair of suit pants, and another $200 for each jacket. And if you're a plus size… add in an extra $50. The hood will also cost you $50 bucks, and add another $40 for each pair of padded mittens. Of course you can't forget the boots – they're gonna add another $50 to your bill. 
'So if you have a family of five, plan on spending about $2700 on each outfit. Of course if you live in the south, you can forgo the heavy survival gear and just make sure you ordered enough food buckets in case the neighbors drop by."
