Publically weeping, begging for forgiveness, then jumping back in 3 weeks.
NYT. Feb 1988
BATON ROUGE, La., Feb. 21 The Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, who last year condemned a fellow television evangelist, Jim Bakker, as ''a cancer on the body of Christ,'' today confessed to sins of his own and begged to be forgiven.
Speaking before a congregation of 8,000 people at his World Faith Center here, Mr. Swaggart said that his ministry would continue, but that he would be absent from the pulpit for ''an indeterminate time.''
Interesting to check out the video.

But that's another issue.
