Thanks.

Hes not a pastor, and never has been a pastor. However, as the top administrator of a Christian university, he should have known better. Couldnt have happened at a worse time, either.
He was married, of course. It was later revealed that the Dean of the Faculty--a man of academic stature and principle--told the President that he must not have his mistress, a hot young junior faculty member, parking her zap-red sports car overnight in the driveway of the President's house while his wife was away. Because it would be noticed, and would be a bad example to the students.
Several years later, the President's wife left him on account of things like that. Not long afterward, the President committed suicide with a handgun.
Of course the Dean was right. Furthermore, because of the Sexual Devolution mores that were running wild then, the students were also setting a bad example for their President.
Behavior is powerful. We should always be aware that we will often be unaware when someone is being uplifted or sent to perdition with the help of our example.
That is so odd!
I said that to my better half before I saw your post! 8)
(You and I must be oldsters to remember Barbi!) lol
Barbi was much cuter though!
“Being a national religious figure mocking a lower social cast by dressing up and acting like trailer park people didnt help either.”
1) Implied sex
2) Fake alcohol
3) Mocking social class
4) Conspicuous consumption (partying on a yacht)
How can anyone be so stupid?
He makes a living by convincing people to give him some of their money or educating their kids. Not exactly behavior that encourages such actions.
Jerry Jr is not a pastor. He is a lawyer and an administrator.
He will announce that he has a substance abuse problem and check himself into rehab.
Thats Fallwells wife, standing to the left of Donald Trump.
You mean Christians are people? Of course there will be hypocrisy. Christianity is not hypocritical, however.
Hes a moron
So what? Does he or does he not represent his father's church?
What did he DO??? Haven’t heard a word of scandal.
He appeared in a video holding a glass of amber liquid and his fly was unzipped
He will announce that he has a substance abuse problem and check himself into rehab.
That crossed my my mind.
He looks under the influence in that pic.
Last thread, those of us who said that were really soundly castigated.
Rather shocking the number of people who treated that picture and the event like a joke.
Billy Graham was smart when he made policy to not be alone with woman other than wife.
As I said no discipline and lack of maturity.
You're working on the presumption that all those who claim they are Christians actually are.
Not the case.
No, you don't need religion to believe in God, but rejecting all church connections because of claimed hypocrisy is just an excuse to not commit fully.
OMG!
