did Haggard pay for his drugs and gay sex with church money?

[Cocoa]

I wonder if it occurs to anyone in his flock that donated to the church whether their money went toward funding Haggard's habits.

And I wonder if it occurs to anyone that when he's claiming to be praying for their salvation whether he's really praying for an orgy with six college guys.

1. At a minimum

he paid for sex and drugs with his church provided salary I suppose.

Unless his wife works and he used her money instead.

(Is he married?)

4. "Happily" married with five kids

2. NO

He paid for that with money he earned blowing sailors at the docks.:smoke: :hi: :hi:

[BOSSHOG]

3. Hey, hey, hey

Sailors (I was one once) have scruples and don't have to pay for blowjobs.

nice line though.

9. LOL!!!

10. That is UNTRUE. there are no docks in CO.

5. Duh! Of couse he did, even if in a roundabout way

HIS income is directly connected to his scammy evangelism.The huckster preachers are all alike. they are in it for money,power, sex..(it's a common human trait, but most people manage to strike a balance somewhere this side of common decency)..

This man got US TAX DOLLARS along the way through his good-buddy George's faithbased nonsense.

6. Full disclosure would be nice

I'd like to see all his mansions, cars, investments and jewelry too, all of which are paid for with church money. This thing should (but probably wont) destroy the entire Fundy movement. It'd be a huge improvement if his flock were to all quit and return to their small, hometown churches where religion is a bit less of a for-profit, politically motivated corporation.
