She loves everybody.
She has a large following in the gay community, some of them even gave her $$$ to pay her house payment or rent, after the PTL scandal.
She is sweet, and a genuinely good person....
her's the thing if I was forced (I mean really forced ) to have to spend time with either Tammy Faye or Jan Crouch ( yuck) I'm going with Tammy

Tammy Faye is not in heaven, for christianity she was as false as they come. Her and her husband ripped the faithful off for years with their constant pleading for money while running their false PTL orgainization, in the all the while living in many high class mansions all around the world until the law finally became wise. Her now devorced husband went to jail only to have a gay lover ... he's out now, married again and doing the same thing as before, ripping the faithful off with lies. Tammy Faye (miss o Jesus this and that) ended up laughing and chumming around with the porno biz people. She did a weekly sur-real tv series with Ron Jeremy, one of the bigg'est dirt'est people ever known who has perverted the minds of millions and millions around the world with nearly one thousand eight hundred hardcore in your face abominations. Brags about having sex with anywhere from 3 to 4 thousand women and brags he lost his virginity to a 14 yr old child. There they were, false christianTammy and abomination Ron, laughing it up joking for everyone to see on tv. Months before she died her true face showed through ... she looked like the monster she really was, and now she is paying the price! False religious who prey on the faithful has no place in heaven.

I think she was severely personality-disordered, in the direction of histrionic. I am not a mental health professional.

Personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Histrionic personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
//
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood.

The essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.

The literature differentiates HPD according to gender. Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others. They are emotionally labile and cling to others in the context of immature relationships. Females with HPD over identify with others; they project their own unrealistic, fantasied intentions onto people with whom they are involved. They are emotionally shallow and have difficulty understanding others or themselves in any depth. Selection of marital or sexual partners is often highly inappropriate. Pathology increases with the level of intimacy in relationships. Women with HPD may show inappropriate and intense anger. They may engage in manipulative suicide threats as one aspect of general manipulative interpersonal behavior. [1]

Males with HPD usually present with identity diffusion, disturbed relationships, and lack of impulse control. They have antisocial tendencies and are inclined to exploit physical symptoms. These men are emotionally immature, dramatic, and shallow. [2] Both men and women with HPD engage in disinhibited behavior. [3]

People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and at work. However, histrionic personality disorder may affect a person's social or romantic relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures. People with this disorder may seek treatment for depression when romantic relationships end, although this is by no means a feature exclusive to this disorder. They often fail to see their own situation realistically, instead tending to dramatize and exaggerate. Responsibility for failure or disappointment is usually blamed on others. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration. Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression.

First of all, she is dead. Very poor taste. Didn't your mom every teach you to not speak ill of the dead?

Secondly, I would love to know how you personally KNOW (not just have the opinion) that Tammy is not in Heaven. I was unaware that God has deputied the position of Eternal Judge to you...

Lastly, if you had bothered to watch The Surreal Life that season (I did) you would have seen that she was a great example for Christianity IMO. She was loving and kind to everyone in the house, yes including Ron Jeremy (who Jesus died for, by the way), but there were several house activies which she refused to participate in because she found it to be distasteful and unbecoming of a Christian lady to do so. She told them her religious reasons why but not in a way that was preachy or condescending. She was the epitomy of showing light in the darkness on that show, and I was impressed.

I also find Tammy's early days to be...um...suspect at best, but I believe in my heart that she was innocent of wrong doing, other than looking the other way and embodying 1980's decadence (yes, poor taste and bad witness, I agree). She made a mistake. She made lots of them. But I believe her heart was always in the right place, that she loved her Creator, and that she is with Him now.
