Just because you go to church every Sunday doesn’t make you a good person.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15

My grandfather had the best saying: Everyone loves talking about the halos above their heads, but no one talks about the devil horns holding it up there.

Thank you so much for exposing these evil greedy people that are using God to profit for themselves and to hurt others. SHAMELESS!!!

My grandmother was one of the people who gave away their money to Tilton. She was a widow and fighting cancer at the time. People who use religion to take advantage of others, are the worst.

As a Christian I’m shocked and disgusted these people claim to know God and still do these horrible, appalling, shameful and evil acts

My husbands grandmother would give her whole check every month. It was insane and his mother who was living with her couldn't stop her. Very sad

the greatest irony in this video is because another Houston based television minister actually day one opened his church doors during hurricane Harvey. Dr. Ed Young of Second Baptist Church immediately responded opening up three campuses as shelters and the other two would open if needed.

The fact that Peter Popoff is STILL out here peddling his spring water and people are STILL buying it is beyond me….

NEVER give money to a televangelist. They don't need it, for one. And it won't guarantee your entry into heaven. It's sad that people actually believe that.

We need an updated version of this. There are so many newer religious scandals to choose from.

They are all wolves in sheep’s clothing. I shouldn’t be surprised! Thanks for this info!

As a churchgoer, I am absolutely appalled at the audacity that these priests, pastors and ministers have. Thinking they could use religion as an excuse to take advantage of people, financially, sexually abuse minors and think they can get away with it. Are they stupid? Like everybody else, religious figures need to understand that actions have consequences.

One reason Swaggert fell so hard was because he publicly and viciously attacked Jim Bakker. Bakker was Jimmy's fiercest rival. The hypocrisy was palpable!

I always believed that religion is the best money game in this world

Religion does far more harm than good. History proves this.

More shocking to me than these videos, is that there are so many people that still follow and respect these monsters.

As a Muslim man, I’m embarrassed by this. It’s sickening that people use religion to take advantage of people. Very sad.

I was a Catholic who was raised by two generations of Catholics in my family, I went to a parochial grade school 1through 8, and served as an altar boy from fth grade though high school , I graduated from a Jesuit college and law school. In my teens I had the privilege of serving daily Mass with a priest on our trip through Europe including Masses at St, Peters on the main altar and two others, St. Peter's in Chains, the Duomo in Florence, St Marks in Venice, the Cathedral in Pisa, the Cathedral in Monaco and Several Masses in Notre Dame in Paris and in the Chuch of St. Catherine the Incorruptable to whom the Virgin Mary appeared and for whom Catherine created a medal in Her Honor. For years my faith was unwaivering until the scandals involving children and what is more horrific is the cover-up. This was not by a few, but many priests and their superoirs KNEW IT and just moved them to other parishes. My own parishes in two different towns separated by 40 miles each had a priest who was a child molester. I no longer support the church. I will not donate money to subsidize child abuse or the people that condone it. There are some sins that cannot be forgiven
