Did he get that squishy face as a result of his gayness, or was he 'born' that way?

I think it squishes up after years of overacting to indicate intense feeling.... good news! We can examine his squishy face all we can stand to when that documentary premieres on the toob.

Wrong, completely.

Have you seen the documentary "Jesus Camp"? Ted is in it, and he is anything but liberal. His church had 14,000 members, and he was the leader of 30 million evangelicals.

You ARE aware that he was speaking with Dubya once a week for along time to provide spiritual guidance, aren't you?

No, he's conservative, all conservative, and all gay, and 100% liar.

Gee. Maybe he's really Rush Limbaugh, come to hink of it...

Default Seven More Cases???

In today's installment of the Ted Haggard Soap Opera, there is a local bail bondsman (Bobby Brown) who has been digging through piles of documents on New Life Church, with some interesting results. LINK:
- http://www.gazette.com/articles/hagg...brown_new.html

Excerpt: " . . . Brown's investigation is in high gear. He's broadened it to include financial activity at the megachurch, and he claims to have uncovered seven cases of sexual misconduct by Haggard that occurred before he was forced to resign over a sexual relationship with a male prostitute. Brown says he's close to going public on some of the cases...."

Here is a MUST READ piece in our other local paper. The author of this piece writes a weekly column that absolutely is a hoot to read - he skewers ANYONE and EVERYONE. Link: Pastor Ted back on stage.

Excerpt: "... They preached forgiveness and did not forgive. They preached tolerance and were savagely intolerant. They opened their arms to welcome anyone who looked, acted, talked and believed exactly as they did. They preached Jesus but foamed like the anti-Christ. Jesus taught love. They taught hate. Mostly — because this issue rakes in the money when you pass the plate — they ranted against the devil of homosexuality. And guess what? Some of the men have spent time sneaking around at night and putting their hands in the cookie jar — a euphemism for "another guy's pants." .... """

I can't post more excerpts from this article, the mods would cut them for the language.... please go read this piece in the Indy, you'll love it, the author totally nails this issue...

Today's WaPo has a review of the HBO presentation tonight.


LINK: washingtonpost.com

Excerpt:

- A few years ago, Focus on the Family, the Colorado-based evangelical radio ministry, distributed a booklet that advised parents of preschool boys who dress in girls' clothing, play with dolls and show other "pre-homosexual" tendencies to take immediate corrective action, such as encouraging a boy to "pound a square wooden peg into a square hole." That would be funny if it weren't part of a mind-set that tortures many people well beyond childhood. For a glimpse of that torture from an emotionally safe distance, you can't do better than to watch Alexandra Pelosi's documentary "The Trials of Ted Haggard," which airs tonight on HBO.

Hey Cue,
Are you sure he was just 'talking' to Bush? Dubya was reportedly involved in a homosexual relationship with Victor Ashe, but the mainstream press laid off. Can you imagine if it was Obama? I guess the right-wingers have a soft (or hard) place in their hearts for 'gay' sinners, even if they villify them publicly. I sure wouldn't want them baby-sitting my kid!

Default Divorce Court Show to Feature "Rev" Ted Haggard

"Rev" Ted Haggard and his wife will appear in an episode of Divorce Court, on Fox (go figure) Network.

No, they aren't getting divorced, but they will collect a paycheck for explaining how their marriage has survived.

Perhaps this episode will be titled "The Never Ending Scam."

Thank you. So good to see someone putting a Jesus perspective on this. The guy messed it up (haven't we all - if perhaps less publically) and he's gone. Is it really such fun to exhume the dirt and play with it? Philippians 4:8 says something about "... think on these things". Which things were these, now?
