"Whatever Jim Bakker's conscious or neglectful malfeasance, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, the documentary film is convincing that Tammy Faye is a victim. She is outrageous but never insincere. She's a person of some talent, astonishing good humor and inspiring perseverance. Most important, she's a person with a genuine goodness of heart.julia said:I remember the Paint the Lady (PTL) scandal. Although I remember her makeup and I saw her on the VH1 house thing where old celebs hang out and thought she was a hoot. Everyone deserves to die in peace. No one needs pain. Life is hard enough with mistakes we make. I wish her well. Despite what they may have done.
I still wouldn't want to watch Tammy Faye sing or listen to her vapid declarations about her relationship with God. But seeing the world through her eyes has opened mine. And I am ashamed for having felt so superior to her, for judging her guilty of things for which she was almost assuredly innocent, for thinking about her and her circumstances with such contempt. And I know this for sure: I would rather stand at her side before the gates of Heaven than to get in the line for judgment headed by the likes of the sanctimonious Rev. Mr. Falwell."
