They would have recovered if they would have not turned PTL over to Jerry Falwell who only wanted to destroy it and them.

I hope you are kidding. Do you actually think after his affair with that young girl and his criminal conviction for his timeshare scam that they would have "recovered"? I would like to think folks would not have been that stupid.
You did not have to be a Rhodes scholar to do the math and see that they had sold way more nights stay at their hotel than was physically possible.
I hated to see their fall because PTL was a much better Christian TV network than TBN. It had better programming in my opinon and instead of a little clique of the same performers actually aired some good concerts from the "barn", etc. I think they were doing a better job or bringing Christian entertainment to the masses.
Jim was so discredited the only "recovery" they would have made would have been like Swaggarts. Just a few die hard fans who would continue to follow them even if they personally witnessed adultery with a prostitute.
