Swet jesus... Reverend is cured of homosexuality.

[ChiangMai noon]

The Lord works in truly mysterious ways.

DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- 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. (Watch one woman tell her story of conversion from homosexuality Video)

"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." (Gallery)

Haggard said in an e-mail Sunday, his first communication in three months to church members, that he and his wife, Gayle, plan to pursue master's degrees in psychology. The e-mail said the family hasn't decided where to move but that they were considering Missouri and Iowa.

Another oversight board member, the Rev. Mike Ware of Westminster, said the group recommended the move out of town and the Haggards agreed.

"This is a good place for Ted," Ware said. "It's hard to heal in Colorado Springs right now. It's like an open wound. He needs to get somewhere he can get the wound healed."

It was also the oversight board that strongly urged Haggard to go into secular work.

since when homosexuality is a disease ????

[ChiangMai noon]

I do hope you realise that I was being ironic with the thread title.
I believe no more that people can choose their sexual orientation than I do an omnipotent and all fogiving higher being... Santa never brought me anything this year.

Santa never brought me anything this year.

Prolly not, with a topic title and opening comment like this.

Is there a link to the article?

From the CNN website but I'll not bother since it's headed for pastures new.

All the disciples were men

Why did Jesus only select men ?

^He didn't want 12 women behind him forever rabbiting, "Yeah that's right, you tell 'em"....

He was also forced out from the 14,000 New Life Church that he founded years ago in his basement

I would always be wary of religions that have been started in someone's basement.

Sounds like he's been forced back into the closet.

Anyway true Christians are not supposed to tell lies. Mr Haggard says he's 100% heterosexual, I suspect that he is telling a lie and therefore is not a true christian.

Wasn't there something in the bible about stoning sodomites ?

[stroller]

He was just having a look at it for research purposes.
One needs to inform oneself about the ways of Satan, you know?

^Mr Haggard told journalists outside his home that he had bought methamphetamine.

[stroller]

BBC news?
Come on, Begbie, this anti-America socialist rag isn't worth wiping one's arse with. The morally bankcrupt Christian haters make this stuff up.

No mention of meth on instapundit.blog or little-green-footballs.blog.

[Begbie]

Whatever.

To sum up,
He's a homosexual which isn't a crime
He's a liar which isn't a crime
He's a hypocrite which isn't a crime
He's a Bush supporter which isn't a crime, just a sign of stupidity
He's a user of proscribed drugs, which is a crime.

He's also yesterdays news

[raycarey]

he also paid a gay escort for sex....but my guess is that boonie probably supports that too.

[Butterfly]

at least he is not a womanizer so it's all ok

He backs him to the hilt.
