Liberty University announced Monday that Jerry Prevo will serve as acting president while Jerry Falwell Jr. takes “an indefinite leave of absence” following criticism for posting a photo with his pants unzipped.

Falwell, one of President Donald Trump’s leading evangelical supporters, was widely condemned for posting and then deleting a photo that showed him vacationing on a yacht with his pants unzipped, holding a drink, and with his arm around a woman.

Liberty University has a strict code of conduct that includes prohibiting students from having sexual relations outside of a “biblically ordained” marriage and consuming media with lewd lyrics, sexual content or nudity.

Falwell has led Liberty University, based in Lynchburg, Va., since 2007, when he took over the post from his father, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr., who founded the school.

1. Is Jerry Junior a hypocrite?!

Just askin'.

[Blue Owl]

2. The prod-a-gal son...

And that gal wasn't his wife...

[PJMcK]

7. Jerry said she was pregnant

That's why she couldn't close her pants.

Yeah.

Right.

[regnaD kciN]

11. Oh, I'm sure she was...

The only question is who's the daddy?

[olddad65]

17. She was pregnant, like 35 minutes pregnant.

4. Jesus can't forgive you if you don't do something wrong...

[Warpy]

14. He's been an embarrassment, I think

and the tacky photo was just one tacky thing too many. Oh, he's still the son and heir so he'll still be on the BOD but unless they want to rename it Libertine University, his daily presence will no longer be desired.

The younger generation has generally been a letdown once the old guard televangelists were gone.

3. Pervo?

[kiri]

5. Is the Pope Catholic?

[rpannier]

12. Yes. But more important

Does the Pope have his pants zipped up and buttoned?
Yes, he does

[NotANeocon]

15. How do you know?

He may. not even have pants on under his long dress - just like the heads on zoom

[rpannier]

16. Maybe

But we still don't see his underwear
Which, even if he's totally naked under the robe, is better than what Falwell posted -- because we still see nothing

6. Really?

"Liberty University has a strict code of conduct that includes prohibiting students from having sexual relations outside of a “biblically ordained” marriage and consuming media with lewd lyrics, sexual content or nudity."

I can remember my SIL telling me not to send any of my nephews any "secular" albums back in the 70's. That is so strange to me and to hear it 50 years later just blows my mind.

This is not the kind of God I can comprehend.

10. I have to say, the name they chose for their little school is ... extremely paradoxical ...

I really don't think they understand the concept of 'Liberty' in any meaningful way ...

[rpannier]

13. having sexual relations outside of a "biblically ordained" marriage

So... I can have 2 or 3 wives then?

[bringthePaine]

8. another fucking "Jerry"???? for a COLLEGE? must be plenty o cash for "dumbfuck" scholarshits

[Marie Marie]

9. I guess Trump was too busy ruining our country...

otherwise, he would have been a perfect fit for Hypocrisy University.
