Dr. James Dobson 'Heartsick' Over Haggard Allegations

Contact: Gary Schneeberger, Focus on the Family, 719-548-5853, [e-mail]


COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Focus on the Family founder and Chairman James C. Dobson, Ph.D., issued the following statement today after learning the Rev. Ted Haggard had acknowledged some "indiscretions" involving accusations made against him by a gay prostitute in Denver:

"All of us at Focus on the Family are heartsick over the allegation, not yet confirmed, that Ted has had a private life with a homosexual for several years. We will await the outcome of this story, but the possibility that an illicit relationship has occurred is alarming to us and to millions of others.


"Ted has been my close friend and colleague for many years. He has been used mightily to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Colorado Springs and around the world. He will continue to be my friend, even if the worst allegations prove accurate. Nevertheless, sexual sin, whether homosexual or heterosexual, has serious consequences and we are extremely concerned for Ted, his family and his church.

"We ask that the Focus on the Family constituency and Christians everywhere pray for Ted and his loved ones. Our hearts go out to all of them. Perhaps the allegations are false and the circumstances are not as we have heard. Either way, the situation has grave implications for the Cause of Christ and we ask for the Lord's guidance and blessings in the days ahead."

1. Well, James, you should have showed him your penis years ago

and avoided this inconvenient dustup.
:eyes:

[BR_Parkway]

11. Wow, how do you know that he didn't? I'm not saying anything, but

I mean, seems pretty common now a days for those who bray the loudest against gays are spending plenty of time on their knees (and they ain't praying)

Wouldn't surprise me in the least bit for someone to out Big Daddy D (or Falwell either). Those men think about gay sex way more than me and my partner ever do....

17. one of Dobson's books urges fathers to shower with their sons...

...so that they can take a gander at an adult's penis.
I am not making this up.
dobson has issues, too.

5. Heartsick, who knew. (that he had a heart) n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. Well, let's hope it's nothing trivial.

Either the allegations or the "heartsickness".

[bluestateguy]

7. Such charity for Bill Clinton never came from them

nt

[Bouncy Ball]

9. Oh shut up you child abuser asshole.

I'm so sick of you and all your little buddies, beating people over the head with poor old Jesus.

And by the way, anyone who is an evangelical pastor (or any kind of religious offical, really) who is secretly having sex on the side, doing drugs, molesting children, etc, better be scared right about now, real scared. They're watching a fellow liar and hypocrite deluxe go down in flames.

[Glorfindel]

10. Well, how "Christian" of him

Dobson can spew his bile and hatred at the rest of us, but let one of his colleagues get caught *heheheheheh* and we must all be concerned, prayerful, and forgiving. Stuff it, Dobson. You know where. :puke: :rofl:

[Hubert Flottz]

12. "If only he'd came and took a shower with me!"

[maseman]

16. Nice that Dobson will be his friend

Although ol' Ted will know deep down that Dobson hates him. Gee, that would be a fun dinner party.

[yorkiemommie1]

13. Dobson to Haggard

" now Ted, maybe I can help you if you tell me the details....allllll the details.."

[Beausoir]

14. Then, Dobson went home and beat the shit out of his little dog.

God told him to.

[Judi Lynn]

15. It's all going to be up to Dobson to lead the fundies, as his helpers

are falling by the wayside.

Maybe he's worried without the others to hide behind, people may start looking more closely at him!

[Bouncy Ball]

19. Nasty nasty evil little thing that he is.

Disgusting creature who advocates abuse and uses Jesus as a weapon. He should be the one on his knees praying for forgiveness and humility.

Vile vile vile.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Heartsick because he didn't get invited to play with Mike's honker

Poor Jim. Nobody likes him.

[gratuitous]

20. "Grave implications for the Cause of Christ"?

I'm not sure how that follows, Brother Dobson. After all, Christ and the gospel are not affected by human failings, are they? Or is God so weak -- in your theology -- that one person's behavior can totally derail the Plan for humanity?

Pretty minute faith you've got there, Brother Dobson. And perhaps (just perhaps) this is another one of those Ninth Chapter of John moments, where the religious authorities who think they have the Infinite all boxed up nice and neat find out that once again they've been asking the wrong question?

22. What a dipsh*t
