hmmmm
depressing
but nothing new

church leaders are under much pressure. they are expected to be holier than most. in this case, compassion is the answer. and you are right, people, we cannot set our hope/eyes on mere mortals.

Why am I not surprised?!

I may have overlooked it, but In fairness to Mr. Haggard, he did not admit having sexual relations with Jones. He admiited to having committed sexual immorality but that was it. He did not explicitly say it was with Mike JOnes.



He admitted to buying drugs but confessed he never used it.


Haggard admitted on November 3 that he had purchased methamphetamine and received a massage from Jones, but he denied using the drugs or having *** with Jones. "I called him to buy some meth, but I threw it away. I bought it for myself but never used it." Haggard claimed in a radio interview, and added, "I was tempted, but I never used it."


Mike Jones his accuser failed the polygraph test

Jones volunteered to take a polygraph test on a KHOW radio show hosted by Peter Boyles, where Jones first made the allegations. However, Jones' responses during the section of the polygraph test about whether he had engaged in *** with Haggard indicated deception. Haggard responded by saying "We're so grateful that he failed a polygraph test this morning, my accuser did." Jones was not asked questions about drug use. The test administrator expressed doubt about the accuracy of the test because of Jones's recent stress and resulting inability to eat or sleep. Jones says he doubts he will retake the test.


He explicitly denied having homosexual relations with Jones or any member of the same ***.


Haggard initially claimed he had never heard of his accuser and denied having ever done drugs and stated "I have not, I have never had a gay relationship with anybody."


Some accusations were true but not all

On November 2, 2006, senior church officials told Colorado Springs television station KKTV that Haggard has admitted to some of the claims made by Jones.[35] In an e-mail to New Life Church parishioners sent on the evening of November 2, Acting Senior Pastor Ross Parsley wrote, "It is important for you to know that he [Haggard] confessed to the overseers that some of the accusations against him are true.


It takes a real man to admit this:


I am so sorry for the circumstances that have caused shame and embarrassment for all of you....The fact is I am guilty of sexual immorality [BUT WAS IT WITH JONES?....bold letters mine], and I take responsibility for the entire problem. I am a deceiver and a liar. There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life....The accusations that have been leveled against me are not all true, but enough of them are true that I have been appropriately and lovingly removed from ministry.


Note: he admitted to having committed sexual immorality but he did not state if it was a homosexual one.


"..............He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." John 8:7

[Ms.Beau]

sad but it's better to be exposed by and to the light

[--Makoy--]

its the essence. he's human so he's bound for temptations and mistakes. but what made him stand out above the others is that he's taking responsibility for his actions.. unlike other priests

[edgeknife]

if ted haggard finally admitted of sexual immorality, then bro. eliseo soriano too must now admit his immorality issues.
