Oh, how I know persecution! As a very visible member of the True Christian™ community and as someone who involves himself in the political and social arena advocating God's will, I have been the victim of many attacks against me and my character.

As you know, back in the late 1980's I was at the height of my career. Time Magazine said the televangelist industry was ruled by the "Three Jims" -- Rev. Jim Bakker, Rev. Jimmy Swaggart, and Rev. Jim Osborne. I was thrilled to be in the company of such holy and pure men. Well, that all came crashing down on me when I made one enemy too much. My ex-wife (who I think was a Christian in name only) had the audacity to believe I was cheating on her, so she hired a private investigator to follow me around on my little jaunts to tropical resorts.

In Bangkok, I met a young transsexual ("ladyboy") prostitute named Ming that was living a life of sin and filth. I wanted to save this young man/woman, so I offered to take her back up to my penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton for some one-on-one witnessing and testimony. I even brought some of her shemale friends along up to my suite. Well, from the private investigator's standpoint, it appeared I was taking a bunch of tranny hookers up for some kind of orgy. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Now there were all these rumors and innuendo surrounding me, tarnishing my image. I tried defending myself on live TV, but more ugly stuff floated to the surface. Some hooker in Vegas told A Current Affair that I beat her up in my hotel room and raped her while I was high on coke. A couple of young college girls that used to work for me said that I was constantly trying to seduce them and even groped one on occasion. To make matters worse, this was just after Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were both revealed to be having affairs. People just naturally assumed because I was a "Rev. Jim" too that it must apply to me.

As my enemies probed deeper into my life, it was discovered my accountant made a slight error in keeping track of my finances. Apparently I stashed $20 million away (who hasn't cheated on their taxes?) in a couple of dummy companies offshore. My world came crashing down. Soon I found myself standing on trial in a federal court for tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, wire fraud, perjury, and bribery. I was facing so many charges and I prayed to Jesus to find me not guilty. Well they got me on some of the charges and I spent the next several years at the Club Fed in Miami, FL.

Like Paul, I was persecuted and imprisoned for my beliefs. People do not want to hear the Truth™ and will go great lengths to silence those who dare speak out. People resorted to the dirtiest tactics to besmirch my good name. This was my story of persecution. Thank you for listening.
