| 584541 | 2007-08-25 15:45:00 | With apologies to Garret Morris from Saturday Night Live for the opening line of this post, I present: Disgraced Pastor Ted Haggard Asks Supporters for Cash Local preacher needs a little help from his friends Saturday , August 25, 2007 AP COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Rev. Ted Haggard, who left the megachurch he founded after admitting to "sexual immorality," has asked supporters for financial assistance while he and his wife pursue their studies. The former New Life Church pastor plans to seek a master's degree in counseling at the University of Phoenix while his wife studies psychology, he said in an e-mail sent this week to KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs. The couple and two of their sons planned to move Oct. 1 to the Phoenix Dream Center, a faith-based halfway house in Phoenix, where Haggard and his wife would provide counseling, the e-mail said. "It looks as though it will take two years for us to have adequate earning power again, so we are looking for people who will help us monthly for two years," the e-mail said. "During that time we will continue as full-time students, and then, when I graduate, we won't need outside support any longer." Haggard left the 10,000-member New Life Church late last year and resigned as head of the National Association of Evangelicals after a former male escort accused Haggard of paying him for sex. Mike Ware, an overseer for New Life Church, told The Gazette of Colorado Springs on Friday that it was premature of Haggard to release the statement without first consulting the overseers. A New Life spokesman did not immediately return a phone message left late Friday by The Associated Press. (OK..Sit down...here comes da good part: ) Haggard received a salary of $115,000.00 for the 10 months he worked in 2006 and an $85,000.00 anniversary bonus before the scandal broke, The Gazette reported. Haggard's severance package included a year's salary of $138,000.00, and he collects royalties on his book titles, the newspaper reported. El Paso County records show Haggard's home, which has been up for sale, has a market value of $715,051.00 He's sitting on a cool $1,053,051.00 + residuals and book revenues right now..and he needs more money to go to school? That's $1,467,058.00 NZD. Let's see..if he takes a bag lunch to school and rides a bicycle or walks everywhere he goes, he might have enough money for a cappuccino at the student lounge every third or forth week..if he's careful with his spending money.

| 584542 | 2007-08-25 22:05:00 | Fairly typical of greedy Evangelicals from where I sit. And even if he said he had a million in the bank but wanted donations, there'd be plenty of people dumb enough to "help him through his rough time"...:groan: :groan: | johcar (6283) | ||

| 584546 | 2007-08-26 04:46:00 | I can see where some people are disgusted with organized religion . . . . this shining example of a supposed man of god makes me sick too . Since god is supposed to be so all-seeing and kind . . does anyone actually think he'd use someone like this or someone with really bad makeup and sexual perversions as a personal messenger? I ain't going here again . . . . just my last :2cents: tonight . . . :mad: |
