patgundHaggard Begins Spiritual 'Restoration' (Bold - my comments)
"There will be prayer, and perhaps the laying on of hands. There will be counseling and a confession. And there will be advice, confrontation and rebuke from "godly men" appointed to oversee the spiritual "restoration" of the Rev. Ted Haggard."
Wasn't it the "laying on of hands" that *GOT* Haggard into his mess??
""I see success approximately 50 percent of the time," said H.B. London, vice president for church and clergy at Focus on the Family, the conservative Christian ministry in Colorado Springs. "Guys just wear out and they can no longer subject themselves to the process."
Those who fail "end up selling cars or shoes or something, and being miserable and angry the rest of their lives," London said."
Translation: "We could care less about the damned hell-bound sinners who wash out of our programme. They're doomed to eternal fire anyway, so who cares?"
"...we think in terms of what we call godly counsel, where godly men who are clean themselves insert themselves in the life of the one who is struggling"
Ummm......bad choice of words there.
If I was the Rev. Haggard, I'd be spending a lot of time right now reflecting on the words of Matthew, Chapter 7, verses 1-5.
