Reply #43: I think it is somehow a little shameful that we seem to be gloating over Haggard [View All]

I don't know if he is gay or not. All there is at this point is an accusation and Haggard resignation from the NAE. It does not look good to be sure and whatever the truth is I am fine with. I am not defending Haggard, but I don't have all the facts yet and neither does anyone else. Is he a hypocrite?.....time will tell...but for all I know, his accuser could be lying.

But......(and maybe it is just my own Christian mercy showing through here) I find no joy in seeing someone who may have led a double life being exposed. It seems somehow distasteful that so many on DU are gloating over it. If true it is devastating to lots of people. If he did do what the accuser says he did, then yeah he made his own bed and deserves whatever he gets. But his wife....his five kids..... and his flock are reeling right now. The fellowship could fall apart over this....I suspect the entire church staff could lose their jobs as people just walk away.

I just wish DUers were a little kinder, but then again thatis just me.
