christiannews.net is all over Jerry Fallwall Jr. as if salaciousness were a new discovery and not older than their religion. Jesus loves him, this I know, so Don't Let Go, Don't Let Go.

 The boss of Liberty University, taking liberties? Oh my, cluck, cluck. Who really gives a . . . care?

Tune time.  



UPDATE: There is more Fallwell-Liberty coverage online. BBC Aug. 8, coverage:

The president of one of the world's largest evangelical Christian colleges has agreed to step aside after posting a photo of himself, trousers unzipped.

Jerry Falwell, a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, said he would take an indefinite leave of absence from Liberty University in Virginia.

The college board did not provide a reason for the move.

Mr Falwell had conceded the Instagram photo was "weird", but defended it as "all in good fun".

The university said in a statement on Friday: "The Executive Committee of Liberty University's Board of Trustees, acting on behalf of the full Board, met today and requested that Jerry Falwell, Jr take an indefinite leave of absence from his roles as President and Chancellor of Liberty University, to which he has agreed, effective immediately."

The college has a strict code of conduct for how students must behave at the university, including barring premarital sex and the consumption of media either on or off campus "that is offensive to Liberty's standards and traditions", such as lewd lyrics, anti-Christian messages, sexual content and nudity.

Hairstyles and fashions are to "avoid extremes" and students are to dress modestly at all times.

The photo showed Mr Falwell with his arm around a woman who was not his wife. Her shorts also appeared to be unbuttoned. His other hand was holding a glass of dark-coloured liquid.

It's a different religion outlet - there appear to be many, but purging the editor over politics vs. purging Fallwell over a photo shows something of a contrast. An ugly contrast, so WWJD? Which gets forgiveness? The go forth and sin no more?
