COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard admitted Friday he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a gay prostitute who claims he was paid for drug-fueled trysts by the former head of the National Association of Evangelicals.
"I bought it for myself but never used it," Haggard told reporters gathered outside his home. "I was tempted, but I never used it."
Haggard, 50, said he never had sex with Mike Jones, a 49-year-old Denver man who raised the allegations this week. Story continues below ↓ advertisement
Haggard said he received a massage from Jones after being referred to him by a Denver hotel.
Haggard, who was leaving his home with his wife and three of his five children, said he bought the meth because he was curious.
Haggard stepped down as president of the 30 million-member association Thursday and also gave up leadership of his 14,000-member New Life Church pending the investigation into allegations he had sex with Jones over the past three years.
"It is important for you to know that he confessed to the overseers that some of the accusations against him are true,” Ross Parsley, the acting senior pastor at New Life Church stated in an e-mail to church members.
“He has willingly and humbly submitted to the authority of the board of overseers, and will remain on administrative leave during the course of the investigation,” the e-mail stated. A copy was obtained by KMGH-TV in Denver.
Haggard, a married father of five who has been called one of the most influential evangelical Christians in the nation, denied the allegations late Wednesday, telling NBC affiliate KUSA-TV of Denver: “I've never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I’m steady with my wife, I’m faithful to my wife. So I don't know if this is election year politics ... or what it is.”
Alleged voice mails Jones provided to KUSA-TV what he said were voice mails from Haggard. The station had University of Colorado expert Richard Sanders compare them to its earlier interview of Haggard.
“It certainly sounds like the same person,” Sanders said, adding that he expected to have a final report later Friday.
KUSA-TV reported excerpts late Thursday.
“Hi Mike, this is Art,” one call began. “Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply.”
• Voice analysis Nov. 3: A voice expert says the alleged voice mails sound like Ted Haggard. KUSA-TV's Paula Woodward reports.
MSNBC A second message, left a few hours later, began: “Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. And I’ll get it sometime next week or the week after or whenever.”
Jones said Haggard, whose middle name is Art, was referring to methamphetamine. “There’s some stuff on there (the voice mails) that’s pretty damning,” he said.
Jones said he also has an envelope he said Haggard used to mail him cash.
What is this world coming to? Another blow to Christianity to show they're just as corrupt as everyone else.

Just in time for the elections
Now if gay marriage fails, widows will have to marry their deceased husband's brother or close friend and we'll all be banned from eating pork and shellfish. Sweet.

just one more example of how those who explicitly express bigotry toward homosexuality are quite often gays themselves. they are ashamed of themselves and overcompensate in order to mask their homosexuality.
and not to mention, but this is another example of how conservative Christians are fucked up in the head.

Haggard is a good Christian man who has his priorities in order.

...and has alot of meth. I mean, who buys hundreds of dollars worth of meth? He must have liked to rent hotel rooms and invite 10 of his boyboys over and get all tweaked and rub hot oil all over themselves for days.
