[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 322387, member: 12148"] Moreluck, did you question President Bush's judgement after his 20 year affilation with a closet gay preacher who was not only using cocaine but meth? A Review of Ted Haggard's Beliefs and Associations The REAL Ted Haggard (what the mainstream media will never tell you) In light of Haggard's confession that he is a liar and a deceiver, let us examine the evidence of Ted's deceitful behavior as presented on this website for years before his scandals became public knowledge: One of the biggest lies to be propagated by Ted Haggard of New Life Church is his claim that he has positively changed the spiritual climate of his city. In a description of Ted's 1995 book, Primary Purpose, the statement is made: You Can Change Your City's Spiritual Climate It happened in Colorado Springs, and it can happen in your city too. (Appropriately Titled Source: Strang Communications) It happened in Colorado Springs? What is he talking about? Since Ted moved to Colorado Springs / El Paso County in 1985 things have not improved. In fact, things have gotten worse. Negative reports about the city are published every year. Here is an official compilation of vital statistics I extracted from our city's newspaper in 2002: "El Paso County youths have a higher pregnancy rate, use more drugs and die more often from suicide than teens nationwide." (The Gazette, "Life" section, 5/5/02). "Colorado Springs' evangelical image out of focus, officials believe" At the end of this 2005 Denver Post article Ted glibly notes America's obscene spirituality and suggests that it is incorporated into New Life Church. It should be clear to us that Ted has not been successful in positively transforming the lives of those within his city or even within his own congregation. Megachurches such as New Life Church have had the issue of non-sanctification raised even by pro-Charismatic publications in regards to their failure to mature people into Christ-like figures. In 2001 Charisma reported: "Megachurches in America may be growing numerically, but the pastors of the big congregations often fall short of growing people into a Christlike life." Ted Haggard's name is mentioned in the report (he gives a false church growth statistic): Study: Megachurches Fail To Grow Up Disciples (link no longer active) Some very disturbing news is Ted's move toward ecumenism and interfaithism. An ecumenical letter was sent to President Bush where Ted Haggard joined other religious leaders in proclaiming the Islamic faith as a religion of "great traditions": Ecumenical Letter to the President of the United States Like many pastors in America Ted has been duped into believing that President George W. Bush is a Christian leader. He really needs to familiarize himself with the ungodly words and deplorable actions of Mr. Bush: A good place to start: Bush Revealed In the New Life Church bookstore Ted recommends published works by several secular / ungodly individuals, including David Gergen (who has advised numerous U.S. Presidents). Listen to Gergen as he is confronted about his participation in occult rituals at Bohemian Grove (northern California): [media=liveleak]34d_1200029860[/media] For an exposition of Ted's move away from the Gospel: Ted Haggard Abandons the Gospel Ted's recent association with TBN and praise for its star performer Benny Hinn should raise a red flag with every Bible believing Christian. Benny Hinn is a false teacher and false prophet who's unbiblical words and manipulative actions are well documented. Recommended book: The Confusing World of Benny Hinn Jack Hayford is a popular California based pastor and a New Life Church overseer, who co-authored a book with Ted Haggard: Beware of Jack Hayford Personal Freedom Outreach did an investigation of David Hogan, a man Ted Haggard has supported for years. The conclusion of that investigation is frightening: Report on David Hogan My personal encounter with Dave Hogan: "Hogan Not a Hero" To learn about the heretical beliefs and manipulative tactics of cult leader Ted Haggard: Ted Haggard's Deceit and Error (Great site, but I do not agree with the author's promotion of Billy Graham as a model of righteousness.) New Life Church once promoted a degrading bumper sticker which read: "Social Services Needs a Spanking" (circa 1994-95). Ask a church official or member of the church (who has been there since at least 1994) why Ted Haggard had to eventually apologize for remarks made by him and his church against this organization. "Submissiveness to leadership" is a major teaching at New Life. Ted's appointed church leaders are obsessed with control of their followers. Some of these leaders are very effeminate and sport the same wimpy physique as Ted. In the mid-90's at Haggard's New Life Church I attended an uninspiring service led by guest speaker Morris Cerullo. Morris acquired his Inspiration (INSP) television network from Jerry Falwell (which Falwell seized from Jim Bakker when it was called the PTL network).

If you want to obtain this video clip to help warn people about the fraud of Morris Cerullo (and those who associate with him) this video footage is available on: "The Original Godstuff" DVD[ Ted Haggard was on site to approvingly witness the signing by President Bush of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. Shockingly (to many), the "Ban Act" is in reality a pro-abortion bill: The Partial-Birth Abortion Scam Peter Popoff's Trickery Ted Haggard will not speak on the subject. Why? Because one of his mentors, Oral Roberts, has for decades used the same scam (as does Oral's son, Richard). Ted is a graduate of Oral Roberts University (ORU). One of Ted's newest catch phrases (from his diet book): "Make your fat friends happy!" (link no longer active) Consider that hundreds of Haggard's church members are employees at Focus on the Family. This no doubt has contributed to the moral failings at the organization: The Deceit of Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family [/QUOTE]
