Haggard Now 'Completely Heterosexual'
FOX ^ | 02/06/07 | Unknown

Posted on 02/06/2007 8:11:19 AM PST by Froufrou

One of four ministers who oversaw three weeks of intensive counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard said the disgraced minister emerged convinced that he is "completely heterosexual." Haggard also said his sexual contact with men was limited to the former male prostitute who came forward with sexual allegations, the Rev. Tim Ralph of Larkspur told The Denver Post for a story in Tuesday's edition. "He is completely heterosexual," Ralph said. "That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing." Ralph said the board spoke with people close to Haggard while investigating his claim that his only extramarital sexual contact happened with Mike Jones. The board found no evidence to the contrary. "If we're going to be proved wrong, somebody else is going to come forward, and that usually happens really quickly," he said. "We're into this thing over 90 days and it hasn't happened." Haggard resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals last year after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. He was also forced out from the 14,000 New Life Church that he founded years ago in his basement after Jones alleged Haggard paid him for sex and sometimes used methamphetamine when they were together. Haggard, who is married, has publicly admitted to "sexual immorality."

"Proof"
Might be proof that gay drug addicts will lie. Hope I am wrong for the sake of his wife and family.

Funny, but there are genes which result in abnormal physical and mental illnesses. Might not there be a "gay" gene which falls into this category? Abnormal is as abnormal does.

So all of that previous praying didn't turn him straight, but this current round did?

Eh. I guess the closet of Jesus is big enough for whosoever may come.

Or, as Haggard was heard to exclaim as he rode out of sight: "Cured at last! Cured at last! Thank God Almighty, I'm cured at last!"

I should have put in [/s] or made no comment when I posted it.

What really concerns me is the steady push for virtually everything to be fine and dandy so long as the two buzz words are there: "I'm sorry."

LOL Did that statement also give an address where you could chip in to "pay for his treatment?" These guys are a hoot.

I'll bet the Reverand Ralph was conviced Haggard was 'completely heterosexual' before all this came out. But it boggles the mind to imagine what kind of test they gave him.

When I saw the headline, at first I thought it was about Merle Haggard.

I'm sure there could be any number of 'splanations.

I'm glad I'm not him although I believe in 'there but for the grace of G-d go I.' This can't be easy for him, poor thing.

Normally I'd say the proof's in the pudding.

Somehow... it's just oddly inappropriate in this setting.

"so long as the two buzz words are there: "I'm sorry."
You have that right. The latest on the mayor of San Fransicko is that he is to get treatment for alcohlism while remaining on the job. Booze caused his infidelity. No personal resposnibility. He sez "I'm sorry" and gets re-elected in a landslide
