Entire family fed on the cash cow: Jerry Falwell, Jr. intertwined his personal finances with Libertyshttps://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/entire-family-fed-on-the-cash-cow-jerry-falwell-jr-intertwined-his-personal-finances-with-libertys/
Now that top Trump supporter Jerry Falwell, Jr. is gone from the school his father founded, reports about his management or mismanagement of the top Christian evangelical college reveal how his entire family made millions off Liberty University, as the NY Post reports.
Falwell, who took over as president of Liberty in 2007 after years as a lawyer handling its real estate interests, intertwined his personal finances with those of the evangelical Christian university founded by his father, the Posts Paula Froelich reveals.
During his time at Liberty, Falwell made sure his entire family fed on the cash cow by putting his two sons and their wives on the payroll. He also transferred a large Liberty facility to his personal trainer and had a friends construction company manage a university expansion project that cost hundreds of millions, according to Reuters.
The sex scandal that derailed Falwell, Jr. was centered on a pool boy who says he had an intimate relationship with Falwells wife and that Jerry enjoyed watching. Falwell says he was not involved, but characterized his wifes affair as a fatal attraction.

"A former Liberty University student says Becki Falwell, the wife of the universitys then-President Jerry Falwell Jr., jumped into bed with him and performed oral sex on him while he stayed over at the Falwell home after a band practice with her eldest son in 2008.
The student was 22 at the time of the encounter, near the start of Libertys fall semester. He said she initiated the act, and he went along with it. But despite his rejection of further advances, he said, Falwell continued pursuing him, offering him gifts and engaging in banter through Facebook messages.
She was the aggressor, he said.
The messages, screenshots of which were provided by the former student to POLITICO, suggest a flirtatious relationship that went beyond what might be expected of a mother communicating with her sons bandmate."...(more)

(6,265 posts)5. these type 'Christians"
are just in it to make the money. Always. The Swaggart's, Jim Baker and his wife Tammy are all in this scam for sex and money. Typical of the American Christian scammers, like trump, Jarad, Ivanka and all their scamming and grifting. American religion and Republican politics, led by vicious evil men and women.
