Jerry Falwell Jr. Resigns from Liberty U Following Scandal
Daily Mail ^ | 08-24-2020 | Staff

Posted on 08/24/2020 2:48:30 PM PDT by NRx

Jerry Falwell Jr. has resigned as president of Liberty University after a pool boy claimed the evangelist watched while he had sex with his wife.

A school official confirmed on Monday - the first day of classes for students - that Falwell had agreed to resign, the Washington Post reports.

He had already taken an indefinite leave of absence earlier this month after a photo of himself with his pants unzipped, standing with his arm around a young woman whose pants were also partly undone, was shared online.

His resignation comes after Giancarlo Granda, 29, spoke out on Monday in an interview with Reuters where he contradicted Falwell Jr's claims that he was trying to extort the pair and had an affair with his wife, and gave more details about his alleged sexual relationship with them.

He said he was 20 when he met the pair in Miami and that starting in March 2012, he had sex with Falwell's wife Becki several times a year in hotel rooms, sometimes while Falwell Jr. watched, until 2018.

'Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,' Giancarlo said.

During that time, the trio went into business together with an LGBTQ-friendly hostel in Miami that Giancarlo runs.

These things are always tragic. Prayers for the spiritual healing of all involved.

I don’t know what it is about the Falwells. The school is wonderful and this is going to destroy so many people. But he’s probably like a lot of Popes and bishops, do as I say, not as I do.

However, it’s harder for Protestants to recover from this. We Catholics are already pretty cynical.

Falwell Jr. has never been a minister, or man of the cloth. He is a lawyer by trade. I think the lawyer profession will survive.

He is an attorney not a preacher thankfully. People see “Falwell” and assume he preaches. No.

“ However, it’s harder for Protestants to recover from this.

Christians are disappointed by the fallen and hope for restoration - as Scripture says.

But in the meantime, they need to be removed.

Yeah, as soon as this idiot said something about promising to be “a good boy” when he got caught with his fly unzipped next to some woman in a picture, you knew there were a lot more shoes to drop. Falwell is pathetic.

Simply put, Jerry Falwell was an older generation baby boomer, or a young greatest generation. That generation generally relied on social mores to teach their children and he concentrated on building his university and likely didn’t attend to his children as much as he should have.

His son adopted many of the world’s teachings into his worldview and didn’t attend to his inner life as much as he should have.

Alcohol takes away your ability to appreciate long-term consequences, and I’m sure there was a lot of booze involved here.
