This Breaks Our Heart

Filed under: Inspiration

Click here to watch a preview of a very frail Tammy Faye Baker on Larry King Live tonight.

Even at her lowest, though, Tammy Faye is still filled with the Spirit.

She is an inspiration.

Stay strong Tammy Faye!

A classy and brave lady. I feel I have a better perspective again. How trivial all these celebs truly are.
Kim says – reply to this

20

Wow…she's a courageous woman to make her illness at this stage public. So many people hide sickness. If more people were unafraid like her, people could see illness and learn to cope with compassion.

not that it really matters but does anyone know what kind of cancer Tammy Faye has? she's so out of breath, I'm wondering if it's not lung cancer. ?? my heart totally goes out to her…… I wouldn't wish something like this on my worst enemy.
bkcyclones says – reply to this

27

Amazing to see Tammy's will to speak with people even though she is dying. She is ready to see the Lord and accepts her faith. God bless her and her family and she is truly a rock. I pray she is not suffering to much. Tammy is a true hero to me now

I love this woman with all my heart. She is and always has been the classiest act in televangelism. Her love of everyone always set her apart from the messages of hate preached by the Jerry Falwells and other televangelists. May God bless her and keep her and may his light always shine upon her. -

Bless you Tammy Faye - From one of your big gay fans.

She DOES have lung cancer, this is why she is so out of breathe.

Am I the only one that recalls Tammy and her ex-husband "stole" millions of dollars from their "followers" … I don't wish this illness on anyone - but it seems to be ignored that she was not always such a good person…

GOD BLESS HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im Praying for the rest of her life to be peaceful.

It's just awful to see someone die from cancer. As crooked as her ex husband was, she seems like a genuinely nice lady. I guess her talks with God are bringing her the peace of mind she needs. I hope her family can have peace of mind, too.

Oh my gosh, was she the woman on surreal life? She looks so different . This made me cry.

The people hating in this thread, I guess you must NOT be Christians because what is the first rule .. . forgiveness. Let God work it out. You are not the judge and jury.

"Classy"…"Brave"…"God is with her.."????? Are you people that F'n stupid? She's on an express elevator straight to hell when she finally kicks it for the millions and millions her and her dead douchebag ex husband stole from all your stupid redneck relatives. The only thing this bitch and her in-hell ex did was enrich temselves at the expense of the ignorant and the incompetant.

My GOD doesn't need money…and neither does yours!

She is definitely an inspiration. It is heartbreaking to see such a loving person with a strong beleif in God going through such excrutiating pain. God Bless her and her family & friends.
To the Tammy haters says – reply to this

51

All of you that keep bringing up her scandal with her ex needs to stop being self-righteous assholes! The way you put it is that she deserves cancer and to die because of her mistake, have you all not ever screwed up yourselves? Do you want people saying you deserve cancer for all the mistakes you have made? I'm guessing not, so get off your high-horse and STFU!

That brought tears to my eyes.

That's strength right there. So many people lose faith and blame God when things like this happen. She's truly strong in the spirit and a real inspiration.

We are no one to judge her or anyone else. But seeing her on camera, with the illness that has seriously progressed, is extremely heartbreaking. I am saddened.
Lamgelinaoly says – reply to this

61

She showed on The Simple Life that she has a true good heart.
I mean, the fact she became so close with Ron Jeremy is just a testimony to the fact she is not a pontious judger, that she has a true heart.
And many 1st marriages are big mistakes– Bakker just being a portion of who she is as a person.
Cancer truly sucks, and I hope she stays as strong as she can.
Very brave woman.

Crying right now - so sad. God bless her.
Dirk says – reply to this

68

My GOD…You people act like she was an innocent accomplice to the millions and millions that PTL SWINDLED from the masses. SHE IS A CROOK who simply happens to be dying with cancer!!!! Nothing more!!! God doesn't forgive that shit folks….not without a 6-10 year stint in Rawhway and being a Catholic!

The worst part about the hipochysy herer is that most people who like this psuedo Christian criminal bitch feel that homosexuals should die. Perez…I'm ashemed of you!

luvPerez says – reply to this

Tammy is very close to death (probably in the next month or so). My father died of the EXACT same thing…and he looked pretty much like that (minus all the hair and makeup) right before the end. My heart goes out to her and her family, this is a terrible disease for them all to have to suffer through. I wish her and her family the very best as they go through this, most difficult, time in their lives. God bless you Tammy!!

Sarah says – reply to this

76

It is so sad - I don't know why people on here keep mentioning her mistakes. I think she is suffering now so it is important to learn from what she is going through! I am sure many of you have done things you regret but I hope we can all agree that no one deserves to suffer like that!
To Dirk says – reply to this

77

You are a sad person filled with hate and rage. You need some professional help with those anger issues. Did the PTL take money away from you PERSONALLY? I'm guessing no, so shut up and get over it already! You look like a damn fool on here raging over it.
Lauren says – reply to this

78

she has colon cancer that spread to her lungs. it's terminal and they are no longer treating her.

Tammy faye you are in my prayers. Your unrelenting strength and faith in the face of some judgemental hypocrits is astounding. You have acknowledged your mistakes and risen above it all. You are an inspiration
jan says – reply to this

I am still praying for Tammy, as I would for any other human being. She surely is not vain, or she would not have appear on the King show. She is still a Prayer Warrier, and is trying to show others her strong belief. Still trying to save a lot of lost souls.
Tammy will not reach most, but she will touch many.
stay stong Tammy!!! says – reply to this

80

you know some of you people are real assholes. Yes she did things she regrets in the past. who hasnt? leave her the hell alone. She seems like such a sweetheart. Keep up the fight Tammy. we love you and so does god!!!
Shane says – reply to this

81

it's very sad that a handfull of people on here would choose to post a childish hatefull message just for show rather than put some compassion out there.

the woman is going to die, and she is dying a horrible death.

where is your heart?
sexy says – reply to this

I don't know much about her but that is very heartbreaking to see. I wish her all the best on her spiritual journey to our Lord Saviour Jesus.

I feel sad too, but doesn't she or anybody else think the reason she got cancer was actually because of those burgers and french fries?

I love Tammy Faye. This just breaks my heart.
Mark Harris says – reply to this

85

What a cunt. Maybe she should have used some of that $ that he bilked from old people and put it towards cancer research. Shell be in hell soon. Hey, Tammy, save a place for Pigez.
Dirk says – reply to this

86

Hey 77…No..and not PTL. Yet I personnaly had front row seats for years as I watched my neighbor die a terrible death from severe arthritis. And as her condition deteriorated, and as her body contorted into permement disfiguratiuon and unbearable pain, she sent money to that other criminal swindler asshole douchebag Pat Robertson…who sent her a letter back saying that if she sent more $$ in, he woudl speak to God a help her get cured. And to no avail by her family, she sent that crook douchebag all of her money. THAT is why I have no sympathy for this con-artitist who used GOD to swindle money out o fthe dying, desperate, and the ignorant. The fools over here are the ones who somehow think this woman's hands are clean and pure and think she is such a saint. She's a crook..and has been one most of her adult life…regardless of her current condition. Her, her husband, and PTL have destroyed thousands of lives and bank accounts. People like BEnny Hinn, Oral Roberts, and Pat Robertson continue to do so. I'm doing you a service for raging against these people.

Someone has to…apparently you are OK with the fact that these people are major major crooks. I can look at myself in the mirror.

Seeing that makes me realize that my problems are so small! I feel so bad for her. God bless you Tammy Faye!!
zac says – reply to this

90

her and her husband really did some bad things in the past, but regardless of who she is…its still heartbreaking to see someone that weak, and shes really strong to be that optimistic. if "God" is helping her get by then…I guess you really can't fault that. whatever floats ur boat as they say

Actually, this episode airs TONIGHT on CNN……last night was Daniel Baldwin. I don't think I have the heart to watch though…….

Wow. My heart goes out to her and her family. It is TERRIBLE not onlu knowing that a family member has Cancer, but also watching them waste away with a glimmer still in their eyes, is truly TRAGIC and SAD!!! This is a terrible disease for them all to have to suffer through. I wish her and her family the very best as they go through this, most difficult, time in their lives. God bless you Tammy!! May God rest your soul!

93

i feel for her because it is painful to see someone go through a sickness like this, but i also have very little compassion for someone who fucked with millions who believed her by taking their money for her own lavish lifestyle in the name of god. how much more fucked can you get? lets not forget what she did. yes it is sad but seriously? she is a dishonest, fake, sad human being. shes dying. thats supposed to redeem her of her lies? fuck that.

Poor thing. I admire her will to keep on but hope she doesn't have to suffer for much longer.
mg says – reply to this

95

I believe that there is a passage in the bibal that states that you who is without sin, cast the first stone. The woman is dying and I would be willing to bet that she has made her peace with God. I hope that her end, when it comes, is swift and painless. I am not a right-wing evangelist either. Just a fellow human being who feels compassion for those who are in pain. Perhaps the haters on this sight can take a step back and examine their own lives.

I do agree that there are a lot of TV evangelists who swindle people out of money, I agree that Benny Hin is a joke, but I have always thought that. If people are naive enough to believe that sending a human being money to take away their pain and suffering is right, then I also blame those people for being stupid and naive! It takes some common sense here people. I do believe in God and in healing, but healing only comes from God, not a human being. There is a such thing as forgivness Dirk, Tammy admitted the wrong and asked for forgiveness, have the other evangelist crooks done that? No, so be mad at them. Tammy did the right thing and apologized, give her a break. Don't you want others to give you breaks when you screw up and apologize for it? That's all she can do now. When you yourself are a flawless individual then you can be granted the right to be an unforgiving person.
