Don't forget, this is the sect that spawned Jimmy Swaggert.
Swagert lost a power struggle for leadership in a large AG
church in New Orleans and (IIRC) managed to ruin his foe by
accusing him of sexual misconduct but he lost the battle
anyway and went off to Baton Rouge to start his own gig. (I
don't remember all the sordid details anymore.)

There turns out to be some irony in this episode because the
hooker hotel where he was caught having sex is just down the
road (Airline Hwy) from the church he lost the struggle for.
