Jerry Falwell continues to feel God's hand on his throat in the hospital

[Ian David]

LYNCHBURG, Va. The Reverend Jerry Falwell remains hospitalized in Lynchburg, Virginia, with pneumonia.
That word from the Christian evangelist's son.

Falwell is 71 and checked into the hospital Sunday suffering from congestion. Jerry Falwell Junior says doctors have determined his father has pneumonia. He says they're not sure how long he'll be hospitalized, but he says anytime somebody his father's age gets pneumonia, "You have to take it seriously."

1. I hope he doesn't die.

Who could we rely on to out gay puppets if Jerry bit the big one?

[whistle]

6. There is a whole line of sleep who are Falwell's disciples...

...ready to step right in and add their slant on the issue. What is the University called.....oh yes, Jerry Falwell's LIBERTY UNIVERSITY, which has a nice sounding name but teaches anything but liberty! But there are exceptions it seems, and here is one:

About the Lawsuit.
by Chris Lamparello

Some years ago, I started this website. It was done with the best motives in mind, which were to engage Rev. Falwell and his ministry in debate about his views of gays and lesbians. I sought to directly challenge his beliefs with modern science, and with the Bible itself as well.

<snip>

Liberty University

I have also received many emails from students at Rev. Falwell's Bible College, Liberty University. More than a few were from students who told me that they were gay, and they didn't know what to do about it. One student wrote to me, "I am in the wrong place, but I don't know what to do. If my family finds out about who I really am, they will reject me. I will be thrown out of my church and shunned in my community. My parents are very good friends with the local minister who is blantantly homophobic. What should I do?"

What should you do? I have tried to answer these questions, not only for the students of Liberty University who have written to me, but for anyone who has come to me for advice and counsel. I have reached out to these people with the love of Christ. While Rev. Falwell's University may be called "Liberty", the truth is that I have seen that fundamentalism creates the exact opposite, which is suffocating legalism, judgement, piousness, and, ultimately, seperation from the grace and love of Christ.

11. Maybe They Can Recruit Ralph Reed

to head Falwell's money machine. Look at all the experience he had with Pat Robertson,learned all his dirty tricks at Pat's knee and then entered politics, if I am not mistaken.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

10. Well you know Jerry probably got sick because

He got to close to an AIDS infected homosexual who gave him pneumonia at the local mall or something. Or I'll bet that's how Jerry Jr. will spin it when dad croaks and he assumes the empire.

[whistle]

13. Does anyone know anything about Jerry Jr???

...Is he going to follow in his dad's footsteps? Is he more moderate or more extreme than Falwell Sr? Who and what is he? Not the Falwell propaganda links, but some real journalism on this person.

[patrice]

2. Good Luck Jerry!

I'm unemployed, so you're in my prayers, along with everyone else in the Family of Man.

[Ganja Ninja]

3. Go to light Reverend Falwell.

If you feel God's call then don't hesitate. By all means leave this earthly domain.

[sui generis]

4. the voodoo doll is working

it's a conjoined twin voodoo doll - one side is the pope, the other side is his pal Jerry.

[Tux]

15. Voodoo?

I thought it was karma...

[tanyev]

5. There's a Jerry Junior?

Great.

[Canuckistanian]

7. Jesus is coming for you! Go, don't make him wait!

[Village Idiot]

8. I wish, instead, that he felt "God's PILLOW..."

over his mouth and nose...;)

[TlalocW]

9. He feels God's hand around his throat?

Hopefully it's tightening as we speak.

Oral Roberts pulls this crap more blatantly than Jerry - he uses it to get money. Every now and then he comes back to Tulsa from Palm Springs where he's retired to and tells the flock at ORU that whatever recent health problems he's had were caused by the devil, who will show up and taunt Oral while he's suffering, but when Oral rebukes the devil, Jesus shows up and eases his pain somewhat for being such a good Christian.

It kind of makes me wonder what kind of sick Jesus keeps letting the devil torture the old coot on such a periodic basis before he shows up and says, "Just kidding, Oral."

12. With any luck he is choking him to.............@#$@%!*?!!!!

ACLU Supports Falwell In Lawsuit Against Virginia
November 28, 2001

LYNCHBURG, VA. (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union offered to support the Rev. Jerry Falwell in his challenge of Virginia laws that restrict how much property a church can own.

Though Falwell often chides the activist group, the offer was welcomed by Jerry Falwell Jr., who is representing his father in the case.

<snip>

Falwell is a longtime critic of the ACLU. Two days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, he said on Pat Robertson's "The 700 Club" show that God allowed the attack because of the work of abortion rights supporters, feminists and civil liberties groups, specifically the ACLU. Falwell later apologized.

Jerry Falwell to Oversee Law School that Will Groom Future Republican Administration Supreme Court Appointments

A BuzzFlash News Analysis

Not long ago, in an underreported speech, Justice Antonin "The Fixer" Scalia spoke about how the Constitution was derived from God, and, therefore, in essence, God was sometimes to be factored into Supreme court decisions. Scalia, a member of a powerful conservative Catholic sect called Opus Dei, was merely reconfirming the Bush Cartel commitment to governing America not through laws, but through laws interpreted through a theocratic prism. Just ask John Ashcroft, who regularly anoints himself, and has repeatedly declared that God is the King of America.

<snip>

Liberty University's School of Law will employ professors who are: committed to the inspiration and infallibility of the Bible; committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ; committed to a strict constructionist view of the U.S. Constitution; committed to training godly attorneys for the law profession, for service in American government or as judges and justices. Our law school, like Liberty University, will recruit students who have a desire to impact our nation and the world for our Savior.
<snip>

In recent years, we have witnessed an acceleration of discrimination and persecution against people of faith in the workplace and in our nation's public schools. The Liberty University School of Law will intently focus on training attorneys who will aggressively defend the religious rights of people of faith in this nation. I envision our graduates going forth to win many important battles against the anti-religious zealots at the American Civil Liberties Union.

In the past, our pre-law students have gone on from Liberty to the great law schools of America. My son, Jerry Falwell Jr., attended the University of Virginia School of Law and is today chief counsel of Liberty University. David Gibbs III went out from Liberty to the Duke University School of Law and today he and his father lead the very influential Christian Law Association. Many other Liberty graduates are now making an impact in the legal world after earning their law degrees in a variety of institutions. Now we will have the opportunity to train future conservative lawyers right here at Liberty!

Calling for an Uprising of Courageous Pastors in America
Jerry Falwell
Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2004
<snip>
In fact, because the political heat is being turned up to intimidate conservative pastors in our nation, I am announcing today that Liberty University will be hosting a special summit for pastors and church leaders this September 26-29.

This forum, which will be a part of our annual Super Conference in Lynchburg, Va., is titled “Politics and the Pulpit,” and will be hosted by Mat Staver, president and general counsel of the Orlando, Fla.-based Liberty Counsel, and my son Jerry Falwell Jr., vice-chancellor and general counsel of Liberty University. (Last year’s Super Conference was attended by more than 13,000 pastors and church leaders.)

My son Jonathan, executive pastor of Thomas Road Baptist Church, and I serve as hosts of this annual event. New York Times best-selling author Rick Warren (“The Purpose-Driven Life”) is returning this year as our featured speaker. In addition, Dr. Ed Young Sr., Dr. Ed Young Jr., Dr. and Mrs. Jim Cymbala and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers will be featured.

In “Politics and the Pulpit,” we will be highlighting the mass participation of churches in the July 11 “Protect Marriage Sunday,” in which thousands of pastors in our nation urged their congregants to call their senators in order to ask them to support the Federal Marriage Amendment. We literally overwhelmed the Capitol switchboard with calls and, while the amendment was voted down, we sent a message to our senators — the Church of Jesus Christ is alive and well.

GIVE THAT MAN A MUSEUM

What do you get for a well-known evangelist with his own school?
Jerry Falwell, Junior has given his father a unique 70th birthday
gift - a museum. The renovated building at Liberty University
includes various pictures and memorabilia from Jerry Falwell’s past
including a video of Falwell and his twin brother, Gene. In order to
keep the gift a secret, workers covered the windows with plastic
whenever Falwell stopped at the library being built next door.

Falwell Jr. Encouraged by Zoning Decision
July 9, 2003 (LYNCHBURG) - Jerry Falwell Junior says he’s grateful and encouraged by Lynchburg’s about-face on Falwell Ministries’ rezoning request for the former Ericsson building. City officials said this week they WILL allow the church to use the building for things like a parking lot and computer center. Falwell told the MorningLine today he’ll meet with city leaders to try to get other uses -- such as a recreation center -- approved as well. He’s hopeful the church won’t have to go through with a zoning appeal set for later this month.
