Disgraced pastor Haggard: I was abused as child

Yet another one of society's "chosen ones" who have decided to blame someone else for there issues instead of pointing the fingers at themselves.......... then you had to throw that "GOD-damn" word in there about be a Republican yet?? You dug your bed, now lay in it, alone or with another man, we don't give a sh!t..........

"We consistently blow it" when those opportunities arise"

Great word choice.

Quit making excuses. We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God. The difference is that we don't make whiny excuses.

"But some of the things that were buried in the depths of the sea from when I was in the second grade started to rage in my mind and in my heart," he said.

Re-read your Bible, pastor. Specifically about the "age of accountability". If you were having challenges, you should have sought help BEFORE you got caught.

No one cares of his political leaning at the time; it has nothing to do with his so called decisions to do better. And blaming others is a crock. We all sin as Jeff T alluded and forgiveness is offered by Christ but our part is to repent, turn around, change our minds, not continue to rage.

"We consistently blow it" when those opportunities arise, he said". You BLEW IT alright, Teddy Haggard. A stiff cock has no conscience, even if something did happen to you when you were seven years old. You gotta' control your urges, Rev. Isn't that what you counsel parishoners to do. Now Tim, get off the Republican stuff.

When I put the two together I didn't say enough..........what I meant to say was the "Religious Part of the Republican Party", not the Republican party..........it just p!zzes me off when the put the two together is all..........

Pisses me off too...like conservative/liberal...there are both on Dem/Rep sides. Why do they associate conservatives only with the Repubs. About as bad as the afro-american, mexican-american, italian-american, german-american...my a$$...either you're an AMERICAN or get the hell out.

Now your talking......... By the way I forgot to tell you a story about Port Richey......broke down there about 15 years ago in a big truck, though my clutch went out. Towed me to a big truck center on the back streets that looked a little 'fishy'. Man told me it would be $2600 for a clutch, I said okay and one of his helpers took me to a nice hotel on the coast for two days while I waited. Next morning phone rang and man said "Wasn't your clutch it was the cable that snapped inside on the pedal". Bill was $270 with labor and the two was $300, gave the man a $100 tip for getting me on my way and thanking him and the whole damn time, could have easily screwed me over if he wanted to!!

YEA THERE MAY BE ROOTS OF PAIN AND HURTS, WE ALL HAVE THEM. BUT THATS NEVER AN EXUSE TO SIN IN THE POSITION HE WAS IN. MANY TURNED AWAY FROM GOD WHEN PASTOR TED HAGGARD FELL. HE WAS A LEADER AND WHERE WAS HE LEADING HIS FLOCK? ITS REALLY AWFUL TO THINK HOW GOD WILL HOLD THIS MAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT ONLY HIS ACTIONS BUT THE MANY "YOUNG BELIEVERS" WHO FELL AWAY FROM GOD BECAUSE OF HIS FALL. THE BIBLE SAYS ITS BETTER TO TIE A ROPE AROUND YOUR NECK AND DIE THAN TO MAKE ONE OF GODS LITTLE ONES FALL. I THINK HE NEEDS TO STAY HUMBLE AND STAY OUT OF THE MEDIA BEFORE GOD humbles HIM AGAIN. NO OFFENCE, BUT HE REALLY NEEDS TO LAY LOW LIKE HE SAID, NOT ALL THESE INTERVIEWS MAKING HIM LOOK WORSE.

Waaah Waaah Waaah, poor Ted. He's such an attention wh*re that he just can't shut up and stop whining. Maybe they could lock him up with Hovind and they can spend the rest of their days crying about how unfair life is and how a little hypocrisy never hurt anyone.

Why doesn't pastor Ted just admit he likes the feel of a meat missile in his mouth? It's no big deal, there are millions of gay men and women out there. My daddy spanked me with a belt as a child, I didn't grow up to enjoy BDSM. I think pastor Ted's lame excuse is all baloney. Until they plant him in the dirt people will always look at him and know that a large fleshy penis has crossed his lips. After he is long since dead people will still recall him as the Head Pastor.
