Haggard Ted Rev

Why anyone would possible believe him? He has kept this a secret for years.

From the article:

I do not believe he just payed a male prostitute to give him a massage ONLY. Please! Who he thinks he is fooling? Probably to his wife that decided to stick with him.

Confused why he failed that? Try lying.

Rev. Ted Haggard Beliefs Religious General

Well, it is all pretty much a moot point now.

Mr. Haggard has resigned his position, and admitted to purchasing crystal meth. However, he continues to deny having had anything to do with a male prostitute.

Of course, since has worked towards improving the national culture, it doesn't matter whether he actually did anything or not. Just the accusation is enough to totally destroy his life. And, the admission to drug use is just icing on the cake.

The Left gets a big win with this one. Especially right before a critical election.

Haggard Ted Rev

I have an idea. Perhaps if you want a massage, you should try a masseuse and not a prostitute. Masseuses sell massages and Prostitutes sell something completely different. If you don't want drugs, don't buy methamphetamines. The only thing that is missing is the story about his dog eating his homework too...OR...what about wanting eternal salvation, but not too excited about following those "10 Best Ideas".

Haggard Ted Rev

A thought... if you are not wrong then why resign? Was it the failed lie detector test? Was it guilt? Was it not wanting his family to go through more embarrassment than they already have, was it pressure from the ministry?

Rev. Ted Haggard

How would you feel as a member of this man's congregation? How many times have you shaken his hand, and had him smile in your face? How would you feel knowing that your cash offerings and donations to his church went into his pocket? I would be outraged, to say the least. Step down, sir, and disappear into oblivion, please.

Rev. Ted Haggard

That was my point, he claims innocence, yet everything points to his being guilty as sin (pun intended). The ironic thing about this is I am sure that many would have wanted him to stay, remember the Jimmy Swaggart case?

Rev. Ted Haggard General Religious Beliefs

Yes, but as soon as the Church high officials heard the allegations they pressured him to resign so they could investigate the case. That's why he did it.
