.
Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. posted and then apparently deleted a bizarre Instagram post in which he appeared with his shirt hiked up and his pants unzipped, standing next to a woman identified as a friend. In the caption, Falwell wrote the drink he was holding was just black water and a prop only.
The post was captured by Houston Chronicle reporter Robert Downen before it was deleted. The caption says that Lots of good friends visited us on the yacht.

In the hours after the screenshot of the photo was posted, Falkirk Center fellow Malachi OBrien tweeted that the photo was not President Falwell. The Falkirk Center is the conservative thinktank Falwell started in partnership with Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. OBrien deleted that tweet and posted an update, confirming it was Jerry.
OBrien also said that the photo in question was taken out of context of the other photos w/ it.
What it was was being used to imply is ungodly & seems to have been posted out of context for that reason, OBrien tweeted.

Imagine posting this while living on the dorms.
This would have been at least one required meeting with the office of student leadership or Resident Director
Im not for legalism, but I do think we should keep figureheads accountable for how they represent their communityLink to tweet

(33,643 posts)Just like I don't care if they're both boys or both girls ... I don't care if one is 25 and one is 50.
I don't feel any need to be judge-y about anything. Whatever floats your boat.
And when I cover up the right hand side of the pic ... I admit it ... I'm a fan.
Gotta cover up the right though cause Jr. is a creepy-looking MF.

You were on the same thread ... did you also give her a hard time?

(13,424 posts)Do all Christian men take photos with their pants unbutttoned while latching on to a woman who is not his wife who also has her shorts unbuttoned? There are so many things about that photo which seem to go against the moral Christian lifestyle he wants people to believe he lives while leading Liberty University.

(1,896 posts)And Jerry Jr. appears to be wearing hers. I'm sure there's a logical and evangelically appropriate answer for this photograph. Not to mention that this type of behavior would certainly warrant disciplinary action at Liberty University.
renate
(13,776 posts)Whatever he enjoys wearing is fine with me, but good grief... I don't understand how evangelicals reconcile their supposed beliefs and the behavior of so many of their leaders. Trump being Exhibit A, obviously, but clearly he's not the only one.

(15,805 posts)might think some forbidden beverage is in his glass than the fact that he's provocatively posed with a very young woman and they both have their pants unzipped suggesting an intimate relationship.
There's some questionable family values at work there that clearly needs more prayer.

(999 posts)Al Franken was run out on a rail for supposedly being touchy feely with voters at campaign events. This guy is supposed to be some sort of moral authority. His pants are unbuttoned and you can see his underwear never mind his stomach. As for the woman her shorts are unbuttoned almost to the top of her pubic area and Falwells hand is not around her waist but is positioned in a way that is more than just a photo op.
I normally do not get into peoples personal lives but this is a man who makes it his business to pontificate about the personal lives of other people. His conduct in that picture would violate the student code of ethics at Liberty University.
We should be making a big deal out of this picture.

Mine:
1 oz vodka
1 oz rum
4 oz cola
A few drops of orange bitters
Pour into a cocktail shaker without ice and shake until the cola goes flat. Serve in a cheap plastic cup.
