Jimmy Swaggert was caught with a prostitute. The fact that he thumbed his nose at the Assemblies of God (the denomination within which he originally operated) was a black mark on any claim to a continuing ministry. While I cannot say I was ever a Swaggert follower, he became worthy of open contempt after that.
Same for some of the other televangelists that denied everything then even went to jail in a couple of cases.
Lee, his sons, the BBs are all complicit in unrighteousness that we believe is worthy of expulsion from the assembly until repentance is made. And I say the BBs as a whole because even though the errors may be only on the part of some of them, they stand together in lock-step to refute all charges using Lee's deputy authority mumbo jumbo.
There is nothing clean coming out of that cesspool. I don't care if the words are technically scriptural. The LSM is using claims of spiritual superiority to dismiss evidence of moral inferiority. And for too many, it seems to be working.

I agree. As long as the offending parties are alive, there is opportunity to repent.
