How many plan to make a monthly pledge to Ted Haggard?

Question

Evidently, Mr. Haggard- a preacher who had a six-figure salary, lived in an almost $1 million home, and had a high-six-figure book deal before being outed by a male prostitute, is panhandling for monthly pledges so he can afford to go back to school. Obviously, we can't expect him to dirty his hands actually doing an honest day's work or take out a student loan. Or live in student housing like the commonfolk, or use the proceeds from the sale of his home, or dip into his personal savings or retirement. Come on, folks, have some Christian compassion for this poor, picked-on (now never-gay, merely confused) millionaire preacher!

Answer 1

Since he was a preacher, soliciting for funds WAS the way he made his money. He's simply taking a skill he's already utilized in his life and is turning it to his advantage. Sadly, the contributors won't be able to take the gifts off their taxable income.

It may be said that all clergy are best described as fund raisers. Haggard was apparently one of the best.
