Churchgoers in Central Virginia know this, because they took a major financial loss for buying bonds to construct Jerry Falwell's church... and guess who paid Falwell's debt?
Did you know the Moonies bailed out Jerry
Falwell's empire? In the late '90s, Liberty University and Thomas Road
Baptist Church were drowning in debt. Out of desperation, Falwell
contacted Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Moon sent a delegation to Lynchburg, Virginia
where they met with Falwell for 7 days. Moon agreed to purchase
Falwell's debt for pennies on the dollar.
The biggest losers in the
deal were people that bought bonds to construct their new church
building; they have never been re-paid.
SO, think before you donate to a church. Make sure they actually ARE doing good for others. Churches that also promote hatred and intolerance against LGBT people like Falwell's should be shut down. Unfortunately. people (who lost a lot of money) continue to attend and give this con-artist more money they can't afford.

Just goes to show how corrupt
Falwell was, and now his two evil sons.

From the Washington Post:
"Beyond the
Times, Moon-affiliated entities are linked by a complex web of
interlocking directorships and nurtured by a seemingly endless flow of
cash from the Far East. That has enabled them to buy new businesses such
as the Nostalgia Network cable channel and even help bail out the Rev.
Jerry Falwell's foundering Liberty University."
