How am I just goddamned hearing about this now?!?!!?!? The story's almost 10 days old!!! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/18/us/trump-falwell-endorsement-michael-cohen.html Short version, Falwell and his wife fucked the shit out of their pool boy, Michael Cohen helped cover it up, and (jaw hangs open in bafflement for 3 seconds)....Tom-fucking-Arnold secretly recorded Cohen admitting there were payoffs to cover up illicit photos. In a world without religion, they could just fuck their pool boy in peace, but because of religion, they have to be ashamed, and pile coverup upon coverup, and get shady characters involved, and owe favors to evil scumbags. And again...TOM ARNOLD?!?!? That's like Robert Mueller getting tips from Jack Black!!
Much older than 10 days D. This was reported months back. Falwell Jr. is just back in the news for attacking a fellow Christian on Twitter for speaking out against Trump because "You've never made payroll! You haven't built a business! You're an employee!" as if any of that discredits a person from having an opinion. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jerry-falwell-jr-jesus-payroll_n_5d12d6c5e4b0a394186a5d05
Jerry Falwell Jr, his wife, and their pool boy walk into a bar......stop me if you've heard this joke before!
The article never states nor even implies that the "pool boy" Granda was involved in any sort of sexual shananigans with the Falwells. It's a pathetic, muck-raking smear piece that relies exclusively on anonymous sources. So of course you lap it up like a dog eating it's own vomit.
What does Jerry Falwell Jr's dick taste like? Do you deepthroat it? Does he cum all over your man tits?
This is an oddly specific comment, given that it has nothing to do with the appropriateness of the sweetheart deal he got from Liberty. Making sure to mention his wife as an attempt to deflect from a relationship with Falwell, maybe?
Politico has a huge expose on Falwell's corrupt self-dealing and the culture of fear at Liberty University. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/09/jerry-falwell-liberty-university-loans-227914
"posted a now-deleted photo to Instagram of around $12,000 in cash spread on a hotel bed" why does that make me think of these kind of pictures? Is Falwell much better? As for "a culture of fear" at the end of the day isn't that pretty much what Christianity is all about? No matter what you do there is always - in the back of your mind - fear of eternal hell if you don't act right. Of course the hard-core default excuse for tolerating Falwell's shenanigans is "well, sometimes god uses flawed, imperfect men to accomplish his holy & perfect goals" and technically these people wouldn't be wrong. The bible is full of mean, nasty, shady, murderous and downright criminal men so Falwell isn't reinventing the wheel here. Okay default excuse #2 - "the lord works in mysterious ways!"
Has anyone watched The Family documentary series on Netflix yet? Basics are that there is an extremely influential group behind the Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC. They get close to politicians, Democrats and Republicans, even foreign government leaders and influence them. They call themselves Christian, but they seem to be a weird Jesus cult with the basic belief that as long as you focus on Jesus, it doesn’t really matter what you do in life. You can kill, steal, cheat on your partner and even worse things and you’re fine. You don’t even have to stop doing it, just focus on Jesus. Falwell Jr has ties to them. They also believe that all politicians are put there by God, regardless of who and where so they get close to get closer to God. There’s a whole hierarchy too, the average person is at the very bottom and the Family is as close to Jesus as you can get. Seeing that Falwell Jr and a bunch of these other Christian figures who end up in some scandal seem to be connected, it makes sense they’re able to handle the moral gymnastics. Jesus is fine with this to them and their followers are sheep who don’t know better and exist to serve them.
All evangelical leaders are fruitcakes. When I was growing up SNL had a field day with the Bakers and the Swaggarts. Look up Dana Carvey as the Church lady if you want to see some real funny lampooning of Christian hypocrites. I just recently saw a special about a reporter trying to track down the wife of the guy who heads the church of Scientology. Seems for some reason she is never allowed to leave their compound and no one has actually seen her in 7 plus years. Every time the reporter tried to get answers she was immediately turned away. I kept thinking at some point law enforcement should be allowed to enter just to verify that the wife was still alive.
Attempted distraction and an attempt to pretend everything is OK as long as someone else is doing it?
Conmen robbing their naive followers blind by using their supposed faith to hide their scumbag nature?
yep - more similarities than differences between scientology and christianity when you get right down to it. But it's not just "evangelical" Christians because the catholic church is about as mainstream and old school as it gets, but they are about as crooked as a dog's hind leg and they rule the roost on systemically covering up their epic kiddy diddling.
Yes, xenu was the commander of the galactic federation of planets who blew thetans up in a giant volcano, while jesus is the zombie nson of god composed of crackers and cheep wine. Totally different things.
Xenu = Satan. Hubbard = Moses + Jesus Auditing = confession Going clear = um...I dunno if the Christians have a word for it, but you know that zombie look Christian teens get at Jesus-rock concerts? That.
