The Former President of the National Association of Evangelicals and Pastor of New Life Church Faces New Sex Allegations

The disgraced pastor, Ted Haggard is again in the news, as another one of his victims has bravely come forward to share the twisted details of what I guess some people would call a relationship.

As president of The National Association of Evangelicals and the pastor of New Life Church, Haggard would offen use hate speech, encourage violence, and work to deny the GLBT community it human & civil rights under US and International law.

As it turns out, Ted Haggard was in the closet, to scared to face who he really is and how his loving creator made him.

Haggard's downfall started in November 2006, when he was caught in a Denver area hotel with a male prostitute and massive amount of drugs during a cash for sex relationship.

Before this was reported, and in the public spotlight, Haggard was very close to and a just about weekly visitor to Bush's White House. Many still wonder what he was doing there and who was he with. Haggard was one of many closeted gay men who spent a lot of time around George W Bush.

The latest victim, now 25, says," that pastor Ted Haggard performed a sex act in a hotel room in 2006 and sent him explicit text messages.

His hidden relationship with Haggard, the man said, was followed by a period of isolation, struggles with drinking, drugs and suicide attempts"

This victim met Haggard in 2005 when he was 22. He said he told Haggard that he had been kicked out of a Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for his "struggles with homosexuality."

How many more people and families will be ruined by Ted Haggard? When is enough, and the law steps into investigate? How many victims are out there? Are any minors involved?

I wish I could that Ted Haggard was the exception to the rule, but that would just not be true. He is a perfect example of the Fundamentalist and Evangelical movement within the United States.

People like Haggard, with this movement, don't care about the people they claim to serve, if you are saved or not, Jesus Christ or his teachings. They only care about gaining power, control and personal riches

They give a big black eye to real Christians, who believe and follow the teaching of Jesus Christ everyday. The people who work to better their life, their communities and help other less well of then themselves.

I hope Haggard can be honest to himself, his family, and the public in the future. I also hope that both him and his victims can get the help, love and support that they are in very great need of and desire
