    My husband, 3 children and I were Lifetime Partners and thoroughly enjoyed this Christian themed park! One of the safest, and most fun filled vacation places to visit especially as a family. No alcohol, drugs, profanity or boisterous behavior allowed. So many activities and never a dull moment. We were so blessed to partake of Heritage USA while it lasted. Great memories never fade! God bless all PTL partners for their faith in God!

      Jim Bakker was "always building something" because he accepted millions of dollars from naïve people. He sold thousands of time-share rooms when only 1 hotel was available. Scam artist!

      Paso Parent When someone buys a room for 3 days, it doesn't remain vacant for the other 362 days. 365/3 = 121 * 500 rooms = 60,500 potential sales.

      +Paso Parent Actually the people could have stayed at any of the other accommodations at Heritage including the cabins but most people wanted to stay at the hotel and some mistakenly thought that they could only stay at the hotel. If the government would have let him finished the high rise hotel, he would have had enough rooms that everyone could have stayed at the hotel. Heritage employed over 2500 people and paid excellent wages, so when it closed, it make a huge economic impact on the area. If Baker would have been able to finished the high rise hotel, he would have employed about 300 to 500 additional people.

    My brother and I flew there and spent a week at Heritage USA just a few weeks after this broadcast. We came from Chicago, and had a GREAT time. Heritage Island was open, and it was like a DREAM being there. Some of the best memories I've ever had. I purchased a Silver 7000 Lifetime Membership in the Towers, but had to stay in a tent because the towers (obviously) were not done yet. It was fun!

      Actually, +Snot Nose, Golly Gee, I did have a great time. But, yeah, everybody who invested in LIfetime Memberships got screwed. No question about it. That wasn't Bakkers fault, though. That was another person altogether who plunged the place into bankruptcy for the sole purpose of disposing of that obligation, and then running off with the lucrative network. That was Falwell's plan, anyway. But I don't expect you to know all of the details. Keep trolling, though. You get better with practice!

    Jim and Tammy had the most entertaining christian show on TV. Tammy was so joyful, looking at things now and knowing what will happen to them in their future is so sad. I do think Jerry Falwell did a horrible thing to them and caused everyone to loose their investments in Heritage USA ! Jim and Tammy had some short comings and they knew it but they really did not intend to defraud anyone in my opinion. They were just trying to build a bigger and bigger church and park for their members.

Then Vestal and her husband ends up singing on the Gaither Home Coming projects in the 1990's and beyond while Tammy Faye was hurting and it took until around 2005 to be back on Christian tv. Vestal what you did Tammy Faye is wrong, but slowing forgiving you. Christians should forgive other Christians and not abandon them in their hour of need.

    It looked like such a nice place. There was no need for the scandal. Jim could have repented and never assigned control over to Falwell, who just took it. Most of the money raised was reinvested in the park. I don't believe he even did anything illegal.

    • @jcoleman4191
      @jcoleman4191 6 лет назад +5

      From what I've seen. He didn't do anything illegal. He was human. He cheated on his wife, which she already knew. Alleged has homosexual relationships ( silly looks and hugs) and misappropriating money. Falwel was jealous and stole their ministry from them. I believe Jim and Tammy were really good people at heart and they could not control people giving. I believe it just got to big and they needed more trust worthy people they could trust with the finances. They really did try to help people. I don't believe they has any malicious intend. But the fact that they were huge, getting so much tax free money it can will jealousy. and Jim also initially got 45 years for little evidence, why because he was so big! But then got only 8 years because there was no evidence.

    • @melaniexoxo
      @melaniexoxo 6 лет назад +3

      I believe that both Jim and Tammy had a deep and simple faith in Jesus and the word of God (which is what we are called to as Christians by the bible), and Jerry Falwell was a wolf in sheeps clothing. I think who they were in front of the camera at PTL is the same as who they were behind closed doors. I also believe both of them trusted Jerry as a brother in Christ, believing he would act honorably and biblically considering all of the believers that invested in Heritage USA as well.
      As we know none of that happened. I honestly think that Jerry Falwell was a deceiver of many, and we know who that name applies to.

They certainly set money aside for themselves, but Jerry Falwell was living equally as luxuriously according to people at that time.

    Crazy to think that the entire water park has been torn down and doesn't exist at all. Instead, there are now townhomes sitting where the water park was. I believe TIME magazine said the famous picture of Jerry Fawell going down the water slide in his suit was voted one of the 20th centuries 100 most important pictures, in that it was a moment in time that showed how out of touch Heritage and PTL was (or something like that). I wonder if the people living in those townhomes realize that 30 years ago, in the same space at their master bedroom, Jerry Fawell slid down the slide, creating a top 100 picture. Insane.

    Kind of sad that within six months of this show's taping, Heritage USA would begin to unravel at breakneck speed. It was only a matter of days in to the new year (1987) when Tammy would have a nervous breakdown, then flown to California for treatment. By March, 1987, I believe, Jim had turned control of HUSA over to Jerry Falwell, and HUSA was never again able to regain its economic footing, slipping in to bankruptcy

But it's okay if it's attached to anything of the world.... but not to the creator of the world?
