Just when I thought that I could not be any more sickened by the former Rev. Ted Haggard he goes and suprises me again. After leaving his congregation when it was revealed that he was having immoral relations with a man, Ted Haggard and his wife have decided to pursue Master Degrees to become councelors. Yes - this couple sounds like a couple I would like advice from - NOT!
Anyway it is being reported in 2006 he received approximately $200k in salary and bonuses and then when he had to leave the congregation he was given over $100k in severance pay. His house is up for sale for over $700k and get this he has released statements asking for congregants to now pay him and his wife on a monthly basis while they go to school full time.
Is it me or is this just absolutely insane???? Don't get me wrong. I am not judging what this man did - we all screw up once or twice in our lifetimes (maybe more for some). I just think he needs to get in touch with reality. Or better yet get a job like the rest of us.
