This gay prostitute claims he has voice mails and letters from Haggard that prove the relationship. It's a mess. If he did it or not, my prayers to Ted Haggard. He has a wife and five kids, and 14,000 members of his church who look to him for guidance.

a press conference by church leaders to support Haggard was cancelled shortly before it was scheduled to take place.This is never a good sign.

Ditto on the prayers. Hopefully turns out to be a false accusation (though him stepping down already makes me wonder).

He should put up or shut up.
To: cccp_hater
Doesn't mean a thing though. Well it could. It could also mean that since the stories were published today, he wanted the church not to be damaged and is having the church do an investigation for the confidence of the community.
Either way, he needs our prayers. If true it was a consensual, but sinful relationship that he needs to atone for now. But we are all sinners, and we can all be redeemed.

There was a Missouri Synod pastor with a mega-church. Same story.

Yup, the Lord will forgive all tresspasses if one is truly sorry for ones sins.

Oh, now it isn't looking good.
He resigned as the President of the National Association of Evangelicals as well, permanently. Ick. Well, he still hasn't spoken yet. So this could be a smear. My prayers to him all the same.

This smells like a Foley-esque smear.

I seriously doubt this is true.

Hopefully you are right. I surely hate to see a man maligned by the word of another without proof.

If it's true, and I'm doubtful, but if it is, he owes it to all his supporters to fight this until after the election.
No matter the cost, ANY cost.

Ugh. I just spent the last 45 minutes listening to the hosts of a local sports show talk about this. And they just didn't seem to understand how people could say that the timing of this announcement might be regarded as suspicious.

Who writes letters to their gay prostitute?
To: Balding_Eagle
Well, he stepped down from both of his leadership posts already. Remember that the ballot initiative on gay marriage in Colorado is like at 47-46 right now. This is going to be a huge deal there.

And now on the same station we've got a pastor telling us that megachurches aren't "real" churches. Oh, and a local anti-homosexual priest in his area has been trying to get him into bed for years. No names, of course. It wouldn't be "fair".
I'm going to stop listening before I throw something.

In a world when you can't trust a female prostitute to keep your confidence, I want out!!!
I would think the same tradition of confidence keeping would hold true for a male prostitute. Stinks!

Seems to me he owes his supporters the truth and nothing else. He needs to defend himself if he has been wrongly accused otherwise he owes his wife, his congregation and his Lord the truth as to what has happened and he needs to soulfully repent for his actions.
