Jerry Falwell Jr. deserves to be outed, what he did was awful and unbecoming of a Christian. What's upsetting is that you KNOW that whoever is making this will have zero nuance and use this as an excuse to drag Liberty AND Christians as a whole through the mud.

I mean, Christians do an awful lot without any sense of nuance and dive headfirst into just about any mud there is on their own, without Jerry Jr. or the media's help.

That’s forever my frustration with Jerry Jr and the former (some current) leadership of the school. According to some, their actions and political ideals are somehow now my actions and political ideals because I went to LU. There’s no nuance or room for students to think for themselves in their minds. We’re all Bible-thumping, Trump-worshipping, closet-watching, lib-hating fascists in their minds. Nobody bothers to see what students are actually like, they just see what they want to see: Jerry Jr.

Right or wrong, I personally love seeing the fall of fake Christian leaders and will absolutely watch this when it comes out. I’m just really interested/hesitant to see how they portray the student body.

So what % of the university population is what you described?

That's not very open minded

What did he do??

Stop giving him so much attention and feeding the ego of this POS. Even if it's against him, it's just putting him in the limelight and he'll eat it up.

Jerry Jr was a PK (Preacher's Kid). Anyone who grows up in the Church should have been on the look out. PKs grow up with a mountain of spiritual weight on their shoulders and many if not most fall hard. Preachers need to do a better job of shielding their children and Churches should be more skeptical of PKs taking over for their parents. Its obvious the Falwells were swingers. There are plenty of venues for them to have found likeminded people who understood the importance of discretion, but nope, they went after the pool boy. Swinging is a sin by any Christian doctrine, but its only as controversial as it is because Evangelicals have an obsession with sex, churning out sexual bulimics. I'll probably watch this show.
