(24,722 posts)This is going to be ugly for the Falwells and rightly so. Honestly I dont give a crap what these two/three do in their private lives...who wants to do who and who likes to watch...as long as everyone consents and no one is exploited. Its only when these folks take the moral high ground and point fingers at others or deem the lives of others immoral or work to take rights away from others that I have an issue with them. I hope the fall from grace for these hypocrites is epic.

(24,722 posts)I was only speaking about the Falwells and the pool boy. You just KNOW there are students involved with these creeps. Nine of that is okay. I hope they have supportive families and good lawyers.

(26,168 posts)As for the students, if their parents have any sense, they'll be yanking their kids out of Liberty U right and left.
Absolutely agree.

(9,354 posts)They are ready for that one. that fall back (no pun intended) on the "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone verse. That, and public repentance, and in a few years they are back. Maybe not exactly where they were, but back to grifting and deceiving the most spiritually vulnerable among us.
Case in point Jim Bakker (and his silver solution and his apocalyptic food packages.)
But also Joel Psteen who has never really paid a price though he has been exposed as a fraud multiple times.
We are better off to leave the term hyposciry out and stick t provable criminal charges and service of time in prison.

(9,459 posts)...as the most immoral, fake conservative college in the country. Its going to be tough, but I think Liberty can do it!!
(If you do not know: In 1999 Hillsdales religious conservative president resigned after a suicide on campus.
Of the wife of his SON.
Who said Hillsdale president had been fucking for YEARS.
Read that again.
The guilt got to HER and she shot herself.
The wonderful conservatives on the board -
defamed the suicide victim as a pathological liar"
As if that mattered.
Wait! What? Theres more???
Like Newt Gingrich, the now-fired Hillsdale President later divorced his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer.)

(31,261 posts)I honestly gave up on organized religion as a young teen, I saw too much wrong stuff happen in church. Organized religion has largely become an exercise of exercising power over someone else. There are still some churches and sects that practiced charity and uplifting their fellow human beings in meaningful ways, but they are few.

(10,578 posts)If I recall correctly, Jerry Falwell Sr. was the great rival of Jim Bakker, and was relentlessly critical of him at the time.
I wonder if this is the type of behavior that Falwell would have said caused the 9/11 attacks, or if he would have limited his attacks to abortionists, feminists and gays, like he said at the time.

(1,178 posts)How anyone can sit there and fall for the phony evangelist act is beyond me. The way they act self-righteous and can arrogantly judge find fault in others and how they should live their lives. Anytime I've seen any of them, that the reason they put on the phony act is because they're trying to disguise that they're no different than the ones they're preaching to, if not worse.

(2,193 posts)I told a young Romanian guy the story of Jimmy Swaggart and his tear laden confession on national TV. This was right after the fall of communism in Romania, when Romania was trying to catch up with the West. After he heard the story, his jaw dropped wide open, and then he stared at me in utter disbelief. Finally, he said, in Romanian: "I thought that America was an advanced nation!"
