Ted Haggard, Part 2


As HBO prepares to air a documentary on Ted Haggard, a former church volunteer comes forward and accuses Haggard of being very inappropriate with him. And guess what? Haggard's church paid this guy off to keep quiet.
Then 22 years old, Haas admitted to Haggard that he was expelled from the Moody Bible Institute for “struggles with homosexuality.” He further claims that Pastor Ted’s “eyes lit up and his whole attitude towards me changed.” What followed was upwards of 2,000 text messages per month from Haggard chronicling the pastor’s sexual experiences and drug use.
You really have to read this article and watch the video to get the extreme nausea caused by the confluence of sexual repression, self-loathing, dishonesty, superstition, and exploitation.
