Jerry Falwell says he was being blackmailed over wife's affair
Jerry Falwell Jr. on Sunday told the Washington Examiner that a man who had an affair with his wife had been blackmailing the couple for the past several years.
Falwell said he and his wife, Becki Falwell, have since reconciled over what he said was a brief affair but that the man has continued to threaten to expose the matter.
In a statement to the newspaper, he said the couple met the man on vacation and were "impressed by his initiative in suggesting a local real estate opportunity," eventually including him in a land investment.
"While we tried to distance ourselves from him over time, he unfortunately became increasingly angry and aggressive. Eventually, he began threatening to publicly reveal this secret relationship with Becki and to deliberately embarrass my wife, family, and Liberty University unless we agreed to pay him substantial monies," Falwell wrote.
"While this was very upsetting, we had been advised by trusted legal counsel that it was best to maintain contact with this person, as we tried to manage his increasingly erratic behavior and unreasonable demands while extricating ourselves from him both on a personal level and from that real estate transaction," he added.
Falwell did not name the man in his statement, but he has previously been identified as Giancarlo Granda.

Confession at the start would have prevented much of his trouble.

Sadly many ministries run churches and christian organizations like the OT where the King's son inherits the kingdom
This is not the pattern in the NT.....sometimes God does call the son to the father's position but it should not be automatic and much prayer should go into making a wise choice.
There is also too much power given to ministers in certain christian ministries and they become mini dictators and unaccountable
The track record of the church is not good
The old saying...........What have we learnt from history - we keep repeating the same errors

Bonnke's Is a great example of handing over the reins to somebody who is not a part of your family. Daniel Kolenda began traveling with him many years ago, gave him more more responsibility, let him preach more, and now that Bonnke is dead the ministry hasn't missed a beat.
