Acquaintances from the early years remember that the Graham youngsters were less than models of decorum in their behavior at church and other public gatherings, but Ruth did her best to exercise a rather stern and consistent discipline at home. She claimed to have obtained some of her most effective child-rearing techniques from a dog-training manual whose directives included keeping commands simple and at a minimum, seeing to it that they were obeyed, rewarding obedience with praise and being consistent.
Three of the five Graham children have divorced. Ruth was the first. When she discovered that her husband had been engaged in a long-running affair, she was devastated. “At first I resorted to my familiar pattern of denial — covering over my hurt with spiritual platitudes. I prayed. I fasted. I forgave. I claimed Bible promises. I did all I’d been taught to do. I also hid my problems from everyone, humiliated that others — especially my family — would find out.”

The leftists are digging the dirt on the Graham family, with barely any time for Rev Graham's body to assume room temperature. Absolutely shameful but not unexpected.
Cause the day is not complete for the WaPo until you run down the 99-year old dead preacher.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
Wondered how long it would take...
Don’t click through: it only supports this kid of classless reporting.
But don’t anyone dare to investigate WaPo and their reporters.
Amen.
These people are pathetic. They can go straight to Hell.
Can’t find dirt on BG? Just go after his family. Guilt by association.
Utter weasels the WaPo
And another insane, lunatic leftist off it’s hinges....
I despise the evil SOBs with every bone in my body.
Why? You knew it would take only so long as it took to update a long prepared screed.
You would think that they would at least wait till the body got cold before bashing him.................
I am shocked but maybe shouldn’t be.
He just died today. They don’t even give us 24 hours before airing dirty laundry they have compiled on the Graham family???
Really?? This is stellar journalism which meets the Post’s high standards?????
I was counting down the minutes before they’d start. They are so predictable.
Could we really expect pure evil to show any love for Rev Graham? He terrified them.
If some wildly overpaid Hollywood narcissist OD’d on heroin, the media would be downright reverential and tolerate not the slightest hint of criticism.
Even for the Compost, this is low class tabloid trash.
Just when one thinks the evil and satanic nature of the media cannot get worse...
It gets worse.
You're really shocked by this?
We can only imagine how desperate the Dark Side was to discredit the Graham family.
The Grahams must have withstood every imaginable temptation.
How lucky the world is to have had Billy.
Well, it certainly meets the Post’s standards. But I wouldn’t call it journalism.
It is quite difficult not to label such writers ‘demons’.
He’s not even cold and the Fake News is critizing him.
