I agree. Turn the school back over to Thomas Road BAPTIST Church. Should have never split.

Right ballcoach?

I'd vote for that, providing sports programs don't suffer.

Baptist contribution to the Protestant community? Church splits.

Can anyone confirm? (Click to read tweet thread)

[flamehunter]

Can anyone confirm?

Would anyone be surprised? Sad.

[thepostman]

Well, I guess he didn't really want to step away and be "free at last"

Whole quote from the memo:

“It has come to our attention that various staff members have been contacted by Jerry Falwell, Jr. over the past several days. Some of these calls have been uncomfortable. It is reported by at least one news reporter that Mr. Falwell has claimed to be in constant communication with University leadership and is assisting in running the University. This impression is not well received by our supporters who do not want Mr. Falwell to be running Liberty University behind the scenes. Any advice or background information needed by Liberty University from Jerry Falwell must come through Jerry Prevo. We are not to be providing information about the University to Mr. Falwell, taking direction or orders about the University from Mr. Falwell, performing any tasks for Mr. Falwell on University time, or using University resources to provide favors to Mr. Falwell. The same goes for any of the University’s affiliate entities. If you are uncomfortable taking a call or engaging in other types of communications with Mr. Falwell, you are free to decline to do so and you are also free to refer them to Jerry Prevo. Please pass this message along to your executive assistants and other employees who report to you who would need to know this information because they are in a position to receive such a communication."

It true, it would be a lesson on how to dig oneself further into a hole

[bluedevilflame]

I can just imagine Jerry trying to bully his way into gaining information on what’s going on with the school or trying to direct folks. The man is clearly unstable and grasping at straws and frankly, just embarrassing himself.

[thepostman]

I can say with a very high level of certainty that this is a memo that was indeed sent out. I wonder the potential legal ramifications of him reaching out could be.

Does this surprise anyone? I said that this is similar to the psychological pattern taken by an abusive significant other when the victim finally breaks the relationship off. He mouths off about LU to the media, denies wrongdoing, all the while trying to maintain contact with LU. Classic and common behavior being displayed here.

[thepostman]

I'm not surprised by anything he does anymore.

Spot on.

Dude. Just take your $10 million and go away.

[flamehunter]

Dude. Just take your $10 million and go away.

Or hire a very good lawyer.

[bluedevilflame]

Dude. Just take your $10 million and go away.

I wonder if this kind of behavior could jeopardize that money?

[thepostman]

It hasn't all been paid out yet so I can't imagine it helps but knowing Jr, it is probably pretty iron clad

[thepostman]

I gotta agree...fairly comical when you think about it.

[bluedevilflame]

Especially Trey. I think it’s safe to say Jerry will work through him if he’s left in power.

[Purple Haize]

How can anyone be surprised by this? Junior still has a cadre of die hard loyalists still on the Mountain. People he has personally hired and lined their pockets and give them power. He’s had intertwined the University business with personal business for who knows how long. So of course he’s going to reach out to those people. Of course he’s going to want them to continue servicing (pun intended) his personal empire. I mean you don’t think HE has dirt on THEM? “I want to to do X” “Gosh Junior, I dunno. I’m not sure I should be doing that on University time anymore “ “ Who got you this job? Who can still take this job from you?” That’s probably how the conversation goes

[Jonathan Carone]

I bet Jerry is just sitting in the corner of the office watching everything go down.

[thepostman]

Doesn't seem like anybody here is surprised by anything Jr does anymore. It is just kind of confirms what a lot of us have said. His family members need to be removed. The sooner the better.

Can’t take out the king and leave his generals.

It’s been relatively quiet the last few days but I’m sure when this investigation gets going there will be plenty of skeletons falling out of the closet.

I’m guessing this email will hit the media before too long.

[thepostman]

It also highlights the absolute inability the current leadership has with making hard decisions. We shouldn't have to wait for an investigation to be done to start removing people from positions. If they don't, Jerry will continue to have access to people.

[Jonathan Carone]

Slow to hire, quick to fire

It’s a ministry axiom these guys should’ve learned a long time ago.

Ny member of the FALWELL family should be removed. Immediately
