Pastor ends his gay phase [ Ted Haggard ]
Herald Sun (Australia) ^ | Wednesday, February 7, 2007 | unattributed

Posted on 02/07/2007 10:10:36 AM PST by SunkenCiv

Haggard also told the church oversight board that his homosexual activities had been limited to the male prostitute who went public with their liaisons. Haggard resigned as president of the influential National Association of Evangelicals after the scandal broke. Saying he was guilty of "sexual immorality", he also left his senior pastor position... "As part of New Life's efforts to help me, they sent Gayle and me to Phoenix for a three-week psychological intensive that gave us three years worth of analysis and treatment," he said. "Gayle and I... are both planning on getting our master's in psychology so we can work together serving others the rest of our lives."

"It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing."

So, except for the actual moments when he was actually having sex with another man, he was straight?

Funny how his "gay phase" ended just about the time his "no money" phase began...

I really don't think this a kind of thing you can turn on or off. You can choose not to act out on it.

for a three-week psychological intensive that gave us three years worth of analysis and treatment,

I did not know that psychology could be downloaded in the human brain at evidently broadband speeds. But ain't technology great, they fixed that boy up slick as a whistle.

Why did she have to be sent to the re-education camp?

His wife is the one who really needs the counseling. It's beyond me that she could still even live under the same roof with him.

I just noticed your "handle." My insane wife TIVO's that daytime soap opera "All My Children" to watch in the evening. I walked into the room recently and heard a bit of the show.

They have a new character named ZARF. He's a "rock star" who's decided he's really a lesbian living in a man's body and is looking for help to have a sex change so he can "hook-up" with one of the lesbian characters on the show. I KID YOU NOT! It is so sick it's hilarious.

You think that's hilarious. There was a real case, about 5 years ago, of a man who wanted to be a woman becuase he was attacted to men. So, he had his surgery, and became a woman. Only to find that, well...you know...she likes women and finds men disgusting. So, she's now living her life wishing she was a he.

Judging by the many hilarious comments made on numerous Haggard threads, the right is loving this as well.

He could be a gerbil trapped in a mans body and is looking for a wizard.

Wait, that didn't come out right...

Yeah. Another attempt to push the gay agenda. All hetro characters were cast as pompous, ignorant fools. Guess how pro-gay characters portrayed.

And when asked how he felt after his three weeks of heterosexual re-programming, Ted Haggard replied, "Fabulous!"












OK, so I stole the joke from Jay Leno.
