Jim Bakker Is Now Using His End Times Broadcast to Warn About Zombies

Right Wing Watch

For years, right-wing pastor Jim Bakker has been using his daily television program to terrify his audience into believing that the End Times are upon us, often for the apparent purpose of selling them products designed to help them survive the apocalypse.

Bakker kicked things up a notch on Tuesday’s program, which featured right-wing conspiracy theorist Steve Quayle warning about aliens, demons, trans-dimensional beings, and “diseases that are designed to initiate cannibalism in human beings” and turn them into literal zombies.

The conspiracy theories promoted by Quayle were so pervasive and convoluted that it was difficult to understand exactly what he was even saying, but he seemed to be suggesting that nasal tests for COVID-19 were part of a nefarious plan to obtain DNA samples to be used in the creation of targeted biological weapons that will unleash a disease to turn everyone it does not kill into flesh-eating zombies.

“Zombies that are on the Earth are a disease like any other disease that affects people, and they become like zombies. Is that right?” Bakker asked.

“That’s only part of the story,” Quayle replied. “Zombies also have the evil spiritual entity known as demon possession.”


Fortunately, Bakker can sell you food supplies for your shelter...

to talk about a pastor or minister that is the total opposite of what a good pastor should be, he's the one example I'd use, but unfortunately, there are tons of these so called 'Ministers of God', who claim they minister to the poor and meek, and then you see them in their $million dollar houses, their fancy cars, mega churches, hypocrisy spewing out of their mouths nonstop, and their underage girlfriends. Disgusting.

In my mind, this is a major affront to what I think God in his infinite wisdom did want.

Remember, in God's eyes, republicans are guilty of sin in protecting those with massive wealth, via their insane obsession with the 1%ers in this Country (tax breaks, tax cuts, etc.), no aid for the meek, no aid for the poor, be miserly as possible in not helping the average American.

Republicans proved that they don't care about the average American time and time again by voting NO on ALL of the bills that Mr. Biden put forth. Every republican voted NO. Not one voted yes, to help an average American. Not one.

In these difficult times for a majority of Americans, Some 'christian belief' eh?

Maximillian Michael Brooks (born May 22, 1972)[1] is an American actor and author. He is the son of comedy filmmaker Mel Brooks and actress Anne Bancroft. Much of Brooks's writing focuses on zombie stories. He is a senior fellow at the Modern War Institute at West Point, New York.

In 2006, Brooks wrote World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which deals with the war between the human race and zombies. Paramount Pictures acquired the movie rights, and Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment, produced the film. In the October 2006 issue of Fangoria Magazine, Brooks stated that he would not be writing the screenplay for the motion picture, as he felt he was not an accomplished enough screenwriter to "do it right" (J. Michael Straczynski wrote the first version of the screenplay).

Name the date, pal. Zombies are going to walk the earth by what date? Write it down. Sign it. And I'll bet you $1,000 it doesn't happen. Whaddya say, Jim? Willing to put a little money where your fear-mongering mouth is?

Jim’s audience is surely quite old. They probably are vaxed or about to be. He is reaching back for something either they’ve done or known people who have. That puts it right back in their world and gets them thinking about it.

A: Just a cannibal. Or a diseased cannibal.

Don't try to pass these second-rate zombies off on me. There is one thing a zombie must be in order to be a zombie : DEAD. The cannibalistic quality is mostly a Hollywood device. It's really for show and not strictly necessary.

So they can be cannibals, or not. They can be fast or slow. But they must be a reanimated human or animal corpse.

I should probably be more concerned about it, but right now I'm laughing pretty hard!



It never seems to go away, but just keeps getting more bizarre.

"Why Satanic Panic never really ended:
The collective fears that consumed the US in the 1980s and ’90s are still alive and well — all the way through QAnon and beyond."
