and then was "found out" to be doing drugs and buying sex from a man? Caught the last part of it on a show, what is the deal with that? Don't know the whole story, but seems classic to me. I am straight, but get sick of all the haters, so this is of interest to me...do you have any details?

The story broke on KHOW denver radio with Peter Boyles. Mike Jones called saying his name was Pete & that he had a client who's an evangelical minister. Go to http://khow.com/pages/shows-boyles.html Click on the complete pete & sign up... It's worth it if you want to hear how the story broke. After signing in click on Nov. 1st show. This is the one that broke the story. All the shows after that up to Nov. 6th are about this scandal. Hope that helps...

It's another classic case of a self-righteous hypocrite who puts the spotlight on the "sins" of other people, to take the focus away from his own lifestyle. He is a liar, in every way, getting up in the pulpit to preach about other people, and then to lie about his affair with the hustler and saying he threw away the crystal meth.
Can you imagine the questions and answers if the preacher had to take a lie detector test? So much for a "man of God" in an evangelical church leading the "wayward sheep" to God -- what a total hypocrite!! Sadly, that's the way things go in churches. People have to put on this big act of being holy (to please other people) and then they end up getting in complicated situations. This is certainly not the first time this sort of thing has happened, and it sure as heck will not be the last incident like this, either.

From November 4
The Rev. Ted Haggard, the Colorado minister who resigned Thursday as president of the National Association of Evangelicals, admitted yesterday that he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a male prostitute.
But Haggard told reporters outside his home in Colorado Springs that the massage was arranged by a Denver hotel and was not sexual. He also said he threw the drugs away. "I never kept it very long, because it's -- it was wrong. I was tempted. I bought it, but I never used it," he said.
[...]
His resignation followed accusations by Mike Jones, 49, a male escort who said Haggard paid for sex about once a month for three years.
The veracity of Jones's claims remained in doubt yesterday. After he voluntarily submitted to a polygraph test, the examiner announced on a Denver radio talk show that he showed "deception" when asked about the sexual allegations.

The more fundamentalist you are the more hateful you are, as far as I can tell. This travesty of a human being was a fire and brimstone kinda guy, always threatening unbelievers with eternal punishment and the like, and getting rich in the process.
Fundies are so repressed it isn't surprising that they go to extremes to get their needs met. In Haggard's case, his own religion told him that gay sex was wrong so he must have suffered all kinds of guilt for doing what came naturally to him - and I'm glad a lying, hypocritical bastard like him did suffer, frankly.
As for "I bought it but never used it," -- Bill Clinton didn't inhale, either.

For months he paid a gay outcall to give him nude massages and also bought meth from the guy. The preacher claims that he only got a massage and never used the meth. The gay man heard how down this preached got on gay and talked to a radio show.
Let's see: dumb, hypocritical, ...
The preach is the head of a 4,000 member evangelical congregation.

That is a perfect example of the hypocrisy of those who profess that they are in a position to dictate morality.The more hateful and the more vile and the more a person says things against others the more that they are revealing that they themselves are as guilty or more guilty then those that they raise a finger against.

Those that bash others are generally afraid of those that they bash. They do so to make themselves look bigger and tougher than they are. But in reality, they are pathetic ignorant fools. And if he was caught with a needle in his arm and buying sex...goes to show you he has issues that he needs to take care of with a professional.
