I wonder if, like so many other Trumpists, Falwell has ever called a liberal a "cuck." Because in that case, :lol:
Exclusive: Business partner of Falwells says he had long affair with evangelical power couple - Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a claim likely to intensify the controversy surrounding one of the most influential figures in the American Christian conservative movement, a business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr has come forward to say he had a years-long sexual relationship involving Falwell’s wife and the evangelical leader.

I always thought Falwell was a hypocrite.

Me as well. There is absolutely nothing surprising in this revelation. With very, very, very few exceptions, when someone in the public eye makes a big show of their religiosity, I assume they are in private amoral at best, and likely immoral. I've just found in my own life that those who are truly religious, Christians, demonstrate that by their actions, how they live, how they treat others, and don't need to tell anyone about it. If someone in business tells me what a good "Christian" they are, I grab hold of my wallet and find someone else to deal with if I can. It's a tell, in a bad way, in my experience, and it's rarely let me down.
I've done work off and on for a religious college over the past 15 years or so with a lawyer who works with them, and the leaders of that college are night and day different than Falwell, father or son. They walk the walk. The only outward sign when meeting with them or otherwise dealing with them that they're religious is they have a moment of silence before meals. Otherwise, our mandate was simple enough - do the right thing, something that the school would be proud to have printed in the paper. The last president I worked with raised about $100 million for the school, and took a salary of about $60,000 plus they provided him housing on campus, a little house that was the same as resident faculty who were required to live on campus were assigned. And he ate 'free' meals with the students and resident faculty in the school cafeteria. When he retired, the board of trustees insisted on providing him a retirement package. He'd opposed it when he was active as president, and only reluctantly accepted what was done without his blessing. He'd saved enough on his salary, he believed, to retire with adequate funds. Etc.
Sadly there are way to few of these types of folks. I was raised a catholic went to catholic school spent an eternity on my knees and now believe none of it. So much for being taught religion, obviously this man lived it to the best of his ability and for this I commend him. It's the bible thumpers who want to use religion as a weapon against others I despise and sadly in my opinion that covers most so called christians.
Yep. It's not the affair, it's the lies and the hypocrisy. Not just about having the affair, not just about drinking, not just about clubbing, but also about his and his wife's refusal to take personal responsibility for their actions.My opinion with regards to what they like to do in the bedroom... so ****ing what? So long as no one is getting hurt and all parties are willing and adults. BUT... the fake Christian morality-police hypocrisy he and his circle lord over others is another thing altogether.
Boom... Falwell Jr resigns as president of Liberty University.
Jerry Falwell Jr. agrees to resign from Liberty University
Jerry Falwell Jr. has agreed to resign as president of Liberty University on Monday, according to a school official. The move came after a series of personal scandals rocked the evangelical university he has led since 2007.
Opposition to his presidency had been growing but came to a dramatic head after two new reports about a young man Falwell and his wife befriended at a Florida pool, went into business with and who allegedly was sexually connected to the couple. One report painted Falwell as the victim of an obsessive affair; the other as an eager participant manipulating a naive young man.
I’m sure there was a “golden parachute!”
If running for the presidency proves to be the worst decision Trump ever made, that would be the most poetic of justice.
His big, pasty, lard butt might wind up behind bars yet.
Over an affair that somebody else had? Allegedly?
I doubt it.
Like all trumpanzees, he'll go to jail for defrauding his investors.

Yeah... this is another pretty boy he had pork his wife and needed to have remain quiet.

According to the pool boy, Jerry Falwell Jr liked to sit in the corner and watch his wife get railed by him.
