Suspended Liberty University leader Jerry Falwell Jr. confirmed to Washington Examiner columnist Paul Bedard late Sunday that his wife, Becki Falwell, had an affair with a young man they befriended and went into business with in Florida eight years ago. In a long statement, Falwell said he and his wife "forgave each other" — he suggested he had also "important smaller things" to atone for, quoting a Bible verse about visual adultery — and had decided to come forward because his wife's former lover had been extorting them for "huge amounts of monies" to stay quiet.

Jerry, please see what King David did when Nathan confronted him about his adultery.
I did not have Florida Pool Boy in my Falwell guesses.
He should have ditched her immediately.
Falwell needs to just go away. He doesn’t deserve a leadership position. Live a quiet life, like most people. Serve in small ways, like most people. We don’t need to see you or hear from you anymore.
Perhaps there is more to the story.
This saddens me.
“He should have ditched her immediately.”
Yes, that’s what the world needs, more divorce.
Prominent people, and religious/faith/moral leaders in particular, are going to be big targets of extortion over any moral failings they may have had in their lives.
I recall there was an extortion attempt against Marcus Lamb, the TV preacher, over an affair. His wife had forgiven him, and they had worked on their marriage. It was years later that someone tried to extort millions from them to keep quiet. The Lambs decided instead to go public on their TV show about the experience. In doing so, it took the wind out of the sails of the extortionists.
Cucked by the pool boy. A living cliche.
Yahoo! The media that doesn’t let you comment anymore.
That was HIS adultery not his wifes.
“That was HIS adultery not his wifes.”
You earn an A in Reading Between the Lines.
Evangelism and infidelity. Neverending.
“He should have ditched her immediately.”

The world does NOT need more divorces, agreed. But decisive immediate consequences in some public marriages, will likely have some positive chilling effect on adulterous behavior. Plus, his live would have been better (in my opinion - he’s entitled to have his own).
“””he suggested he had also “important smaller things” to atone for, quoting a Bible verse about visual adultery “”””
Visual adultery is a real thing???
Well, it looks like I will be burning in hell forever then.
The boards were savaging the woke crowd 100 to 1. The leftwing freaks who run Yahoo couldn’t take it any more. So in typical liberal fashion they silenced the opposition.
I figured maybe a Cabana boy, but a pool boy, never
I was a Florida pool boy, but this wasn’t me...
Do you think looking at porn is funny?
