WHERE: PBS, WTVS, TV - Channel 56

WHO: Karl Kaufman and Jeff Roberts _____________________________________________________________________________

Karl Kaufman is a registered nurse and the co-author of "Y2K - It's Not Too Late". Karl's book is like a manual that condenses 10+ books and catalogs into a condensed 370 page manual. An excellent resource! Many of the books out there on Y2K emphasize the computer problem and how to fix it, or maybe they will go so far as to say 'get a generator, store food, buy a water filter, etcetera'. But you have to ask 'What kind of generator?' and 'Where do you get food that will last a long time?' and 'What kind of water filter should you get?' The book by Karl Kaufman answers these questions. It gives you prices, options, phone numbers, web sites - everything you need! I highly recommend it as a must-have for every Y2K resource library in America. ______________________________________

JIM BAKKER: WORLD'S ABOUT TO END -- AND HOLLYWOOD'S GOING FIRST!

Star Magazine June 1, 1999

DISGRACED televangelist Jim Bakker says he is on a mission from God to warn the world that the end is near -- and that the destruction is going to start in Los Angeles and Hollywood!

The one-time high-flying minister -- who spent five years in prison for bilking the flock of his Praise the Lord ministries out of $158 million -- claims he saw first-hand how Earth will end when God turned him into a human seismograph.

Bakker says his earth-shattering encounter with Armageddon occurred when he was riding in a limousine through Los Angeles.

"I experienced one of the strangest sensations of my life," he writes in his new book, Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse.

"I started resonating with the earth deep below Los Angeles. I began to shake and suddenly it was as if I could see down into the earth. I saw huge boulders, bowed upward and grinding against each other."

He is convinced God gave him a message that none of the skyscrapers around him would survive.

"There is going to be an earthquake unlike any this area has ever experienced," Bakker says God told him. "There will be nothing left."

Since then, Bakker, 60 and newly married, has been spreading the message that the world's end could come any time, probably within the next decade.

"The world will be plunged into chaos -- a time of horrendous tribulations," he writes. He describes meteors colliding with the earth, massive earthquakes and storms and even a nuclear holocaust.

And he maintains that the calamities of Armageddon have already begun. "Torrential rains, unsettling weather patterns, violent storms, famines, droughts, earthquakes increasing in frequency and intensity, volcanic eruptions and a host of other signs Jesus told us to watch for are happening now," he declares.

Bakker claims that God has even enlisted Hollywood to warn people. He says that the movie Deep Impact, in which a huge meteor is on a collision course with Earth, was a signal of the coming of the real thing.

"Whether our government wants us to know about it or not, I believe our planet is going to be hit by an asteroid or comet," he proclaims. "I do not base such a bold assertion on Hollywood movies or scientific evidence; I base my statement on the word of God."

A meteor, he says, could deliver an explosion with the force to wipe out most of the population -- and could strike with virtually no warning.

Bakker, who admits he knows many people will think he's gone insane, says that he needed his prison hitch, which ended in 1994, for God to have uninterrupted time to get His message across to him. And he also thinks his checkered past is why God chose him to deliver this dire message.

"When I went to prison, I lost much more than houses, cars and other material possessions," he says. "I lost my dignity, my pride and my reputation. Maybe that's why God has selected me to carry such a potentially laughable message: I had no reputation left to protect."
