Liberty tells staff to refrain from interacting with Falwell

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — Staff members at Liberty University have been instructed to refrain from interacting with the school's ousted president, Jerry Falwell Jr.

The university's general counsel, David Corry, wrote in an email to staff Thursday that Falwell had made “uncomfortable” calls to some employees after resigning last week, The News & Advance reported Friday. Corry told employees they cannot give Falwell information about the school or do any favors for him while on the job because the interactions could create the perception that he is helping manage the school.

“This impression is not well received by our supporters who do not want Mr. Falwell to be running Liberty University behind the scenes,” Corry wrote.

Falwell's departure from the university came after a news outlet published an interview with Giancarlo Granda, a much younger business partner of the Falwell family. Granda said that he had a yearslong sexual relationship with Becki Falwell and that Jerry Falwell participated in some of the liaisons as a voyeur.

should also be relieved of all duties. Especially Miss Becki, who is the power behind the throne, if you knew anything at all about this lash-up.

lots of wink wink nudge nudge going on there!

I just don’t get these people, behind closed doors sex is fun fun fun, but in public it’s sin sin sin.
Why do they work so hard to turn something healthy and natural into something bad?

hoped Jeebus would make a return, but the rapture still hasn't happened even though there are those who are still holding out hope for this decade with tRUMP fullfilling whatever fucking prophecy there was about the golden calf returning to Jerusalem during the plague of locusts. I am just gonna drink another one and try to get so zonked that I don't wake up at 3:00 a.m. and think about the future.
