    Jim Bakker Ordered By NY AG To Cease And Desist

    As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declares a state of emergency amid*a spike in coronavirus cases, the state's attorney general,*Letitia James, is going after a Chrisitan televangelist for "false advertising."

    A guest of The Jim Bakker Show*on Feb. 12, Sherrill Sellman, was asked if the "Silver Solution," sold for $125 on his website,*would be effective against the "Let's say it hasn't been tested on this strain of the coronavirus," Sellman,*a naturopathic doctor, is quoted as saying,*"but it's been tested on other trains of the coronavirus and has been able to eliminate it within 12 hours."

    A disgraced televangelist promoted an alleged cure to coronavirus. Missouri is now suing him.

    After televangelist Jim Bakker suggested on his show that colloidal silver could cure the novel coronavirus, the Missouri Attorney General's Office announced Tuesday that it is suing him as part of a larger effort among law enforcement to crack down on fake treatments for the viral illness.

    Bakker, a disgraced TV preacher in Branson, Mo., has long peddled "Silver Solution" as a cure or treatment for a number of aches and ailments, which medical professionals and the federal government have roundly rejected. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is asking a judge for a temporary restraining order to stop him from hawking the bogus cure as a way to treat coronavirus. The virus has so far infected more than 1,000 people and killed 31 in the United States as the federal government scrambles to control its spread.

    According to the lawsuit, Bakker and the show are "falsely promising to consumers that Silver Solution can cure, eliminate, kill or deactivate coronavirus and/or boost elderly consumers' immune systems when there is, in fact, no vaccine, potion, pill, potion or other product available to treat or cure coronavirus disease 2019.″

    The televangelist has advertised the colloidal silver products for as much as $125 — a variety pack deal — on "The Jim Bakker Show," where he is known to preach about the end of times. Bakker rebuilt his televangelist empire after spending nearly five years in prison on dozens of fraud and conspiracy charges stemming from his former ministry's fundraising projects.

    Schmitt joins New York's attorney general, the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration in targeting Bakker for misleading his viewers into thinking Silver Solution could keep coronavirus at bay — and possibly even "kill it" within 12 hours.

    Thing is, colloidal silver is a valid remedy for many things, it's the original antibiotic and is still used today in burn units where infectious control is paramount.

    Clowns like Baker bring a reproach to Christ. The man was restored after a great fall and like a dog, returned to his own vomit.

    Agree. We keep silver solution on hand and use it when we feel something coming on. I believe it does shorten sick time but the price he charges is outrageous. Silver is promoted throughout the natural remedy world. But.... I agree. They spend half their airtime trying to sell product, basically through fear mongering.

    What is any different than telling people to use hand sanitizer and Lysol or any other item out there? Stores are empty on these products. I don't buy this silver solution so I am not promoting it. I think Jim Bakker is doing a good work. No I don't agree with all they say on the program. He probably has to sell stuff in order to build all that he has in Missouri. He has built a home for unwed Mothers, Prayer Chapel, studio and I think is building a production center - don't know if that is correct name for it. I have prayed a many prayer for him when he was going through all that he did in Charlotte, NC and then losing his wife and all of that. He hit rock bottom but is bouncing back. I have a copy of his book, I WAS WRONG. A good book. I haven't bought any of the food that he advertises or any other item except a book by someone a few year ago. He just ask people to buy the product, he isn't have a fund raising like a lot of them have had in the past. JUST MY OPINION

    The difference would be him selling hand sanitizer and lysol for $125.00 a can.

    I'm glad you have stood with him. But also know there are reasons why others have not. Bakker does more than just sell things. It is how he does that, he hypes and stirs fear to sell his wares.

    I don't agree with his using fear to make a sale either. You are so kind Bro. Firebrand. I appreciate that. I am on another forum and they have a hard time convincing me that they are Christians because of their hateful words but I don't see that very much on here. God bless.
