THAT is what “Christian” has come to mean.

Unto the next four generations.

As my Sociopath brother put it, “Power means I Can Do Anything I Want. ANYTHING.”

Best example of this attiude: Caesar Caligula and/or Uday ibn Saddam.
Fictional example: Joffrey Baratheon-Lannister, boy king of Westeros.

MONEY TALKS.
Whether it’s sung by Cabaret or Pink Floyd.

I honestly think that he’s just high on the fact that he could seemingly do anything he wants and get away with it.

I have wondered for some time whether Jerry Falwell has been dealing with some addiction (alcohol/drug) issues and/or mental health issues. His comments and conduct seem to have become more and more bizarre over the last 4 or so years. Obviously I have no inside information to support this, but the wording of the above announcement certainly wouldn’t be inconsistent with that.

The next few months should be very interesting … I hope your prediction of merely a “time-out” turns out to be a false prophesy! 🙂

Probably it will come down to a calculation of whether bringing him back or letting him go will be better for the school’s finances.

Not that Liberty would be unique among schools in being driven primarily by that bottom line — I know a much smaller school with a Christian heritage that brought back a former President who had left after having an affair with a young faculty member (while pushing “character education”) because he was a good fundraiser.

More like the straw that broke the camels back. Looks like there is a limit to how far the religious right can be pushed. Wonder if Trump is taking notice.

Liberty U Chariman of the Board of Trustees, Jerry Provo released this: (WSLS)

“In the 13 years that Jerry Falwell, Jr. has served as president of Liberty University, Liberty has experienced unprecedented success, not only academically and financially, with a world-class campus, but also spiritually. As we enter our 50th Anniversary year, we have been blessed to grow to a record 120,000 students, both residential and online, and continue to fulfill our founder’s mission to Train Champions for Christ across the world.

Unfortunately, with this success and the burdens of leading a large and growing organization comes substantial pressure. Today, my colleagues and I on the Liberty University Board of Trustees and Jerry mutually agreed that it would be good for him to take an indefinite leave of absence. This was a decision that was not made lightly, and which factored the interests and concerns of everyone in the LU community, including students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, leaders of the Church, as well as the Falwell family.

To support Jerry through this period, we ask that our entire community lift him up in prayer so he may be able to fulfill God’s purpose for him and for Liberty University.”

I suspect Falwell will get a brief time out – publicly ‘repent’ and go back to business as usual.

Aligning with white nationalism, endangering student health, and running the campus in a fascist way is one thing, but I guess posting a suggestive photo crossed a line.
