Dobson Quits Haggard Counseling Team

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Citing a lack of time, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson withdrew Tuesday from the team overseeing counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard, the evangelical pastor who was fired amid allegations of gay sex and drug use.

"Emotionally and spiritually, I wanted to be of help - but the reality is I don't have the time to devote to such a critical responsibility," Dobson said.

The other two members of the team, Pastors Jack Hayford of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, Calif., and Tommy Barnett of First Assembly of God in Phoenix, declined to comment.

Haggard was forced out as senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church on Saturday after a former male escort alleged they had sex repeatedly and that Haggard used methamphetamines.

He's got to worry about all of his own skeletons in his closet. It's every man for himself now.

...when I wish I could recommend a reply!

:toast:
:spray:
:rofl:

Not enough time to help and save a soul...tsk tsk.

:applause:

for straight people, it's called hookers and blow.

i've known people with this problem... it's a tough thing to cure.

naked together.

when he took off the cloth, that was the problem!!

is what he meant...

Is what he meant...

Poor Dobson. I think it was hitting a little too close to home for him.

not a man of God. Nothing to do with time - he's just realized (tonight) its a vote-loser - a pox on his house , Dobson's a Philistine.

nothing else needs said... I guess this is a blessing for Haggard though, maybe this will allow him to hopefully be himself since Dobby won't be around to harass him...

Hee, hee, hee.

Man. They are in deep disarray. DEEP disarray. Which is exactly where we want them!

:toast:

'Focus on the Family' is HQ'd, along with all kinds of other loony stuff, and someone had the balls to have this on their car there:
FOCUS ON YOUR OWN DAMN FAMILY

Glad you're here - especially on a night like this. It's been SO long since we had anything we could savor. This is sweet indeed. Come share the joy!!!

Ted: Hiya Jim
Jim: Brother Ted, what DID you do?
Ted: Say, Jim, you want a snort?
Jim: wha . . . ?
Ted: You a bottom or a top?
Jim: bottom. . . ?
Ted: Ever do a threesome? It's cool, especially if they are younger!
Jim: get your hands off my zipper.
Ted: I like them big, Jim. Are you big, Jim?
Jim: I'm outta here.

Ya gonna cut and run huh? :spank:

of Ted's "restoration." This one is going to be too public and Dobson knows that there is no such thing as "restoring" a gay person. He knows that all he can do is make them hate themselves so much that they deny what they are.

:evilgrin:

something so upsetting that he doesn't want to be invovled. Considering we've publicly covered three major Christian bugaboos, gay sex, cheating, and drug use, I'd say it'd have to be pretty heavy duty.

other than his own

there must be some 'uneasy' parents out there in fundie land tonight

'uneasy' parents out there in fundie land?

Watch out for Jesus Camp XXX!

Don't let your children be indoctrinated and fall victim to the good ol' boys and gals, and the dukes (pukes) of haggard. :puke:

That doesn't suggest "child molester" or "boylover" to me at all. What it suggests is that Haggard is simply gay (or bisexual with a stronger attraction to men), and just can't go against his nature anymore.

Citing a soft market and a lost cause, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson withdrew Tuesday from the team overseeing reprogramming for the Rev. Ted Haggard, the evangelical pastor who was fired after allegations of gay sex and drug use were made by a male prostitute. Shortly thereafter homemade pornographic videos appeared on xtube.com. of Haggard looking haggard and engaging in sexual acts illegal in Utah.

...not.

Haggard is radioactive, and however odious Dobson is, he's no idiot. If he "counsels" Teddy-boy, it will sully his image with the faithful. Guilt by association. Better to say a few nice words, then move on.

What a lovely, brotherly bunch these "Christians" are.

The Daily Show had video of several wingnut rapture right distancing themselves from Haggard.

a shit sucking parasite -- who looks for his own aggrandizement.

They have no more loyalty for each other, than they did for this country.

a couple of days. What a good friend:sarcasm:

At least that was the prescription that Dobson advocated before.

:sarcasm:
...a sadistic, arrogant 'top' and a penitent 'bottom' who probably feels he's got it coming to him no matter what.
:spank:
Maybe they couldn't agree on a safety word?
:rofl:

But seriously, you guys are right...you can't 'cure' homosexuality any more than you can 'cure' being lefthanded or having blue eyes.
Dobson knows this...but can't admit it because it goes against his personal and political interests religious beliefs.
He's not stupid, he's just an arrogant, bigoted, hypocritical nasty piece of work.
But other than that...:puke:

Such a perfect story for today - it has everything!

What a bunch of weenies

He's not going to show Haggard who's boss? Awww...

"...she want's to see you twistin-- twistin,twistin in the wind." --They Might Be Giants.

hate the sin, but love the sinner? Not so very christian of you, Jimmy boy!

...is on the run.

"Emotionally and spiritually, I wanted to be of help - but the reality is I don't have the time to devote to such a critical responsibility," Dobson said.
:rofl:

Translation: "I wanted to appear to want to help, but the reality is, I really don't want to f**k with him!"

Dobson is a cutter and runner. Gonna see a lot of this in all areas over the next few days.

Does he not know his schedule?

Dobson is about power and money. Can't wait to see who he'll exploit next for his own gain. :grr:

Plus, he needs more time to beat up puppies.
