I think they have a Bus Share arrangement. They use an App.
Basically:
Whenever there’s something wrong in a marriage, it’s the woman’s fault.
Whenever there is some cause for sexual scandal, it’s the fault of the person(s) other than the “White Cis Male In A Position Of Respect”.
HE, the husband/Man, is clean, or at least, only made a mistake in the face of temptation and is owed empathy and compassion. Not like those other people who are just wicked and bringing down a godly man.
You’re not joking. A LGBT Liberty U alum wrote a piece about the gay underground at LU for a Virginia magazine. He had this to say about the school’s conversion therapy program:
Now imagine this: you’re gay and at a school where not allowed to articulate or act upon your sexuality, leaving you with having to guess who might also be gay, with very few clues. Then, your conversion therapist tells you that you have an exclusive opportunity to gather in a small, sweaty room for a secret meeting with about fifteen or so other gay guys.
To put it mildly, conversion therapists aren’t the brightest of folks. As you might have expected, for several of the guys who attended, the conversion therapy group became gay Christian speed dating.
Reminds me of a former cow-orker who often reminisced fondly of his time at an all-male Navy base on Diego Rivera, where he could fully indulge in his two favorite hobbies of gay sex and fishing. (I honestly couldn’t tell which of the two he enjoyed more.)
I’m willing to bet the Board has been champing at the bit to investigate the Falwellls. Apparently Becki has been running the University as her own personal fiefdom. Do not expect this to die quietly.
That only works if you repent of your sins, rather than only be upset when you get caught. You committed the sin Jesus seemed to hate the most: hypocrisy.
I would actually have more respect for them if they actually tried to defend themselves biblically. Cite that the patriarchs, David, and Solomon were all polygamists, and are explicitly said in the New Testament to be part of the faithful–their faith was counted to them as righteousness.
The church tends to overstate what the Bible actually explicitly says about sex.
