Why is Jerry Falwell always in debt?
Jerry Falwell is $153 million in debt. Most of this money he got from Savings and Loan Associations which collapsed. Although he personally guaranteed the money, he never had to pay it back, which greatly contributed to the savings and loan collapse and the resultant economic crisis and bail out by the federal government.

In 1994, Jerry Falwell secretly accepted $3.5 million dollars from the Women's Federation for World Peace. In an apparent attempt to cover the movement of the funds, the WFWP, which is controlled by Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, moved the slush fund into a non-profit foundation called The Christian Heritage Foundation.

News World Communications, the parent company of the Moon controlled Washington Times, loaned Falwell $400,000 at a very favorable rate of interest.

The money man (Wally Hilliard) behind two Florida flight schools which trained an as-yet undisclosed number of terrorist pilots has ties with the Evangelical Christian Right, including having loaned televangelist Jerry Falwell a reputed $1 million to bailout his failing religious enterprises a decade ago

What a stench he is in the nose of the Divine.

3. He might be a good demagouge
But he doesn't seem to understand the concept of balancing one's checkbook.

4. Perhaps this explains why he's so anxious to get his hands into the
US Treasury. Why isn't he mining diamonds like Robertson?

7. Falwell is now a tool of the Devil
His God is money.
