www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-falwell-relationship-exclusive-idUSKBN25K1ZO?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR3vehyWCyl8-7h7tVpAGKzxvNb_7Tqz_9DAkwCgtgAiblO1xnwNyzZsUesGiancarlo Granda says he was 20 when he met Jerry and Becki Falwell while working as a pool attendant at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in March 2012. Starting that month and continuing into 2018, Granda told Reuters that the relationship involved him having sex with Becki Falwell while Jerry Falwell looked on. Granda showed Reuters emails, text messages and other evidence that he says demonstrate the sexual nature of his relationship with the couple, who have been married since 1987. “Becki and I developed an intimate relationship and Jerry enjoyed watching from the corner of the room,” Granda said in an interview. Now 29, he described the liaisons as frequent – “multiple times per year” – and said the encounters took place at hotels in Miami and New York, and at the Falwells’ home in Virginia. So much for wholesome family values. I really don't care what consenting adults do. I know a few people who do this, and more power to them if it makes them happy. I care that he's a hypocritical asswipe.

This has been rumored for a long time - but the accusation is that both Falwell participated.
I don’t care what adults do either, but I find it amusing that Falwell was one of Trumps biggest evangelical supporters.
Fitting that a president who is the polar opposite from a religious Christian husband should have as one of his best supporters the polar opposite of a good Christian leader.

I think you can be a good christian leader but still be into group sex. Being a good Christian doesn't require you to be a prude.
ETA: I never thought Falwell was a good Christian, but it was based on his moral shortcomings about caring for others, being kind, not marginalizing people, his racism. You know, all those things Jesus would do, which does not condemn gays, poor people, and brown people.

So the question is really was Becki really a willing participant in this, or was she coerced by this? There are a lot of ways a wife could be coerced into doing something like this, even if she didn't want to do it.

The church makes people so weird about sex.

There are a lot of ways a wife could be coerced into doing something like this, even if she didn't want to do it. I've wondered about that. And interesting, he called it his "wife's affair." um, dude, it's not an affair when you're voluntarily watching.

How do we know Jesus and the Apostles weren't getting their freak on with Mary Magdelene? If they were, I'm sure they wouldn't be writing about it.

I guess I am a Prude. If DH proposed this, I would say no - if he insisted, I would file for Divorce.
This is not something I would expect from a Christian Leader. If I was in that congregation - I would be looking for a different Place of worship.
Is it true that Trump found Pics and blackmailed him?
I wonder when his base will turn away?
ETA: I don't judge people who participate in stuff like that, I just thought the marriage vows "forsaking all others" and all that precluded Christians Participating in stuff like that.

And interesting, he called it his "wife's affair." um, dude, it's not an affair when you're voluntarily watching. Not the first time I have heard of a woman being coerced into doing something. I (very briefly) dated a guy who was divorced from his wife. Guy's ultimate fantasy was to have a threesome, himself and 2 women. His logical thought process was that a threesome was every female's fantasy - only with 2 guys. So he set this up, blindsided his wife into this and had talked his best friend into being the second guy. His wife had to be coerced, she capitulated and performed. Only problem was that the wife had a secret crush on the best friend that she had no intention of acting upon.....until then. Long story short, wife ran off with the best friend and divorced the guy I dated. We had one date, it was a very short date as while it started out ok, I got to hear the whole sordid story. I tried to deflect, to change the subject. After an hour of trying to change the subject, I finished dinner and excused myself, found the waitress and paid her and exited stage right.

This is the story according to Jerry. I want to hear the story according to Becki. It is good to hear all sides before deciding if there was any coercing being done.

I read somewhere that Trump got Cohen to pay off someone else that had pictures just before Falwell endorsed him.
