Bakker also accused the credit card processing companies of stealing all of the money people had given him and keeping it for themselves, which just seems very plausible. I for one find that altogether in character for the credit card companies.
It was a bit shocking to me at first, too. I've heard the following explanation, though, and it makes some sense to me:
Palestinian fig trees usually don't start sprouting leaves until fruit has started to form. And one of the accounts of that episode states that the fig tree was full of leaves, even though it wasn't the right season for figs. In other words, it was showing all the outward signs of life and fruitfulness, but without any actual fruit to offer. And if it was in full leaf and without fruit that year, it would never bear figs again.
Perhaps one of the reasons Jesus cursed it was as a visible demonstration and warning to His own people: If they continued to show all the outward signs of devotion and religious fervour, but without the true righteousness that God really wanted, they would be cursed as well.

Oh hell no, he doesn't touch the stuff - uh, what I mean is, he selflessly saves it for those who need it most. Yeah, that's it.

WHO IN THE FLYING FUCK doesn't remember Jim Scam Artist Bakker from 30+ years ago, and could possibly think he is any different now?
And why were they posing with a dead cat?

And the livestock sellers. They were there, too.
Got another one for Bakker:
Hey, Jim! You're a felon!
That's likely as good an explanation as any.
I'm pretty sure that's where I learned that from.
EtOH is even better than HOH!
I'm surprised it hasn't "cured" him of living yet.
