That’s motes. And spare me. The Falwells have engaged in this behavior at least since they met this guy when he was 20! They lied, connived, obfuscated and denied their perverted behavior all while claiming Christ and running a huge Christian university with 13,000 students on campus who trusted them That’s a little more than a mote or a log. That’s an entire sewer.

Please. These frauds have been living a lie and duping their public for years. And were being rewarded handsomely for it. Now they are going to try the contrition game. And a load of suckers are buying it.

Resign, Jerry. If you have one ounce of integrity left. Resign.

Excellent question. Many will be asked. I wonder what they’ll say?

I think you are spinning it. Falwell himself released a highly suspicious picture, that the media had nothing to do with. Then he came out and said his wife had an affair. So this didn’t all come from the media. I suppose if it was a Democrat, you’s still be saying, “nothing here to see?”

Everyone knew for many many years and no one cared because he was bringing home the bacon.

I don’t think it was an “earring”. It was something in the background that made it just look like one.

Falwell has already admitted that his wife had an affair with a 20 year old pool boy. He blamed her. Now the kid says Jerry was in on it. The Falwells then invested in this kid’s business - a gay-friendly youth hostel in Miami. These are facts - not accusations.

I truly do not care. They are just trying to tarnish Christians - this is something they did and it’s not my business whatsoever since I don’t send him any money.

I’d love to give him the benefit of the doubt, except that he already rushed out and accused HIS WIFE of adultery.

“He does claim to be a pastor”

No; he doesn’t. And he has corrected people who have called him that. (Every leader of every college is a pastor?)

So was a pool boy a business partner, or were there two separate creeps?

It’s for the best. His dad must be spinning in his grave.

His dad sure seemed like an upstanding guy. And this was no momentary lapse, going on for eight years!
