Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the TV set again, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker are back! After two years the pass-the-loot couple has returned to televangelism, although only on a few cable stations. On the second of their hour-long shows last week, the couple began a pledge drive, with Tammy's new album Peace in the Midst of Storm as a premium. A misty-eyed Tammy confessed that God spoke to her in her closet ("That's where I do my screaming and crying"). Their disgrace, explained Jim, was Satan's doing. The devil saw that the Bakkers had been up to too much good and said, "This is it. I've got to smash Jim and Tammy." Guess he didn't swing hard enough.
