This happens way too often. It past time we rethink tax exempt status for these so called Religious organizations. From the Catholics to the Evangelicals, this kind of scandal seems the be the rule not the exception.

“Falwell claimed that the expose was the result of a criminal conspiracy by former Liberty employees”

But those things did happen, right?

G-d, grant me the serenity not to hyperventilate from Schadenfreude…

Courage to wait for Falwell’s tax-exempt status to be revoked when the compromising photographs emerge and his wife leaves him before his sentencing…

And wisdom to pace myself on the popcorn and Everclear.

Hey JFJ: It’s spelled “prophet”, not “profit”. Big difference. Also, too, “the love of money is the root of all evil”.

current and former Liberty University officials describe a culture of fear and self-dealing

ever since [Falwell] became the school’s president in 2008

What is the matter with these people? This isn’t new behavior, but students, staff, and the board sat on this info for 11 years.

Who cares what he thought of his students, there were just sheep to be fleeced… What I want to know is if he was a passive cuckold or actual participant…

This despite Liberty University’s stated mission “to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills essential to impact the world.”

If Jerry Falwell Jr. is an example of the University’s “Christ centered” nature, then L.U. is every bit the fraud so many of us have believed they are.
