Laws of change
Christian college hopes its students will change society.

By Pamela J. Podger

LYNCHBURG -- Students start their classes in prayer, heads bowed and hands clasped above their computer keyboards. At times, they sing a Christian hymn when the daily lesson is done.

Here, at Liberty University's School of Law, the Bible is a touchstone as Jerry Falwell's young law school trains "lieutenants for the Lord."

With lessons resuming Monday and the inaugural class approaching the bar exam, Falwell predicts his graduates will be "counterculture lawyers" sent out like missionaries into politics, government and private practice.

1. Don't Despair. Falwell Trained Them. How Good Could They Be?

2. One thing they will do well... LIE

Deceit is Falwell's forte

[Akim]

3. But is lying enough? Yep, it usually is. n/t

5. In fact, come to think of it, they'll be the "uber-lawyers." n/t

4. Just one wrod says it all ..... Madrasa

[calimary]

9. And we should be USING that word WHENEVER we refer to this

kind of operation. EVERY TIME. And then repeat it. Outfits like these should, in fact, NEVER be referred to OTHER THAN as a "Madrasa." They are every bit as dangerous to this country as the students coming out of the madrasas in radical Islamic communities are to this country. EVERY BIT.

Repeat as often as necessary, you know, "to kind of catapult the propaganda."

6. What does "provisionally accredited" mean

I'm assuming this is a wholly private college with no state funding whatsoever. In the UK "Christian" only would be denied state funding. As a result I don't think there are any. Independant schools and colleges, here, devoted to one faith need also to have an intake of other faiths to avoid being treated as private. So Catholic schools also have Jews and Protestants for example albeit in the minority.

8. It means no legit. law firm will hire their graduates.

[dipsydoodle]

11. Unless presumably

to defend a Cardinal on abuse charges . :)

13. Provisionally accredited

Means they have received ABA accreditation on a trial basis. Without ABA accreditation, a law school's graduates can only take the bar and practice law in the state where the school is located, but once a school is accredited they can sit for the bar in any state.

7. So when does Fallwell and his followers become officially

labled as a "Cult"?

Because that is what they are.

[TlalocW]

Oh, they'll be hired once they graduate

But only by Richard Mellon Scaife.

12. Bet some of them worked for the Coalition Provisional Authority.

10. And to think they owe it all to Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

Not to mention mainstream church leaders, like our old friend Jerry Falwell. The man who called for Moon's "exportation" in 1978 was singing his praises years later. Falwell changed his tune after one of Moon's front organizations handed Liberty University $3.5 million and otherwise forgave tens of millions in debts so he could bail out his college in 1994. Later, Falwell reciprocated by appearing at various Unification Church events and called upon President Ronald Reagan to pardon Moon's felony conviction for tax evasion.

It would be the height of ingratitude not to send a few prayers of thanks his way, too. After all, he claims that Jesus failed as the Messiah and that he is now the true Messiah. Better cover all the bases, just in case.
