What do you mean?

Is that a fat joke?

What did the tweet say? It is no longer available

It was TRBC documents from Julie Roys. Apparently these documents from April 30th are the first that do not list Jerry Jr as a board member at TRBC.

Jr has things to answer for. And some of you guys have hate issues you'll have to answer for one day.

Are you judging? Do you determine how slow one is to be angry? Does not scripture say be angry but sin not?

Slow to anger doesn’t mean never to anger (apparently it means long in nostril in Hebrew ). You should be able to understand why some here are angry over Jerry. You don’t need to police their feelings.

You give me Baghdad Bob vibes

Having your remarks back on the board makes me smile, LUconn. I miss the old days when you and your old dorm roommate were heavy on the snark.

Police feelings? I really hope you're joking . Trust me, not giving you guys that much attention to monitor feelings . I'm not giving Jr. any credit here; we all understand the situation and don't need to continue repeating the same thing ( look how ridiculous Jerry is comments). Since he is not President anymore, now we should be praying for the man and family since we all get the point along with the leadership in charge presently. To each their own on this matter.

In the same way my 15 year old does.

Falwell: LU lawsuit a guise for "salacious false allegations"

I doubt he could have pronounced that word when he was interviewed on WLNI. I think the only reason Jerry gets press these days is the fact that people have a morbid fascination with observing calamities.

Serious question to all. When did Jr. start to lose his moral compass? Not long after he took over, I thought he had the fortitude that was balanced with a heart to do a decent job. Although, I wasn't in an intimate position to know him really, I saw from the outside. Was this something that was bound to happen? I'm asking because my wife and I had this conversation not long ago. Was this toxic seed always there and only needed an environment to sprout? Was this something in his heart while his father was alive, all the while waiting to "bud" once Sr passed away. I thought his business sense was excellent, and his student compassion was good....but that was early on. Over the years...I've been disgusted with him, especially the way he treated his own flesh and blood. Just something we've been discussing at home front. I have to think ( I am hopeful) this was not his character all along.

To be honest, I think part of Jr’s benefit of the doubt early on was just because he was so uncomfortable with public speaking. I think people genuinely felt for him, maybe pitied him in a sense, and that bought him goodwill.

FWIW, from stories I’ve heard from a local who claims to be an eyewitness- I’ll just say the pool boy story isn’t a new development for Jerry’s character.

I don't know the answer but from the outside looking in, it really seemed like the passing of his mom was the point where it became clear but as we see now, it was there behind the scenes much earlier than that.

The Becki and band member story apparently happened in 2008. That’s hard to even wrap my brain around because it’s so different from the people I thought I knew at the time.

This is how I have felt about it. I think his mom's presence kind of kept a leash on him. There was perhaps a tug-of-war between mom and wife. Once Macel passed, all the tugging went in one direction, and he was apparently fine with that.

When Junior started to take a bigger operational role under his dad I was very optimistic. The couple of interactions I had with him were encouraging with what direction he was going etc. Maybe that’s why it’s more disappointing to me that he reverted to ‘the old ways’ and then some

A wise old basketball coach used to say that what you are on the inside inevitably shows up on the court. Both strengths and weaknesses. And personal character deficiencies will be magnified in pressure situations. It's easy to hide things when you play a minor role, but if you're posing as a lead guy, and you're not legit, you eventually get exposed.

Are you saying he was always bad, and was just eventually exposed?
