Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Ted Haggard's 'completely het' and back asking for cash

by: Pam Spaulding

Thu Aug 23, 2007 at 19:00:00 PM EDT


Good grief. Asking for a handout as his $138K paycheck from his former church is cut off after the end of the year. From Colorado Confidential, "Ted Haggard's Cash-for-Heaven Offer:"
If you haven't had enough of the Haggard/New Life Church saga, this week KRDO Channel 13 in Colorado Springs aired a story about a letter that Haggard sent to consumer reporter Tak Landrock, letting him know of the Haggard family plans to move into the Phoenix Dream Center to minister to ex-cons, recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes, and "other broken people," Haggard writes. "I identify."

Baaron Pittenger,  assistant news director of the ABC affiliate, says that Landrock has been communicating with the fallen former pastor of New Life Church via e-mail. The station broadcast the story about Haggard's new life and request for donations on the 10 p.m. news last night. Pittenger says he's not aware that there's been much response to the story.

...Haggard, the charismatic former head of the National Association of Evangelicals, was fired last Nov. 4 from the 14,000-member New Life Church that he founded after he admitted buying meth and getting massages from a male escort. After three weeks of intensive "restoration" therapy, Haggard claimed he was "completely heterosexual"; he and his family subsequently moved to Arizona.

He and his wife are moving to a halfway house in Phoenix where Ted, in his letter to Landrock, says he is "willing to counsel some of the men and to teach the group from time to time. The woman directing the ministry to women invited Gayle to teach and minister to the women."

A snippet of the shameless fundraising pitch sent to Landrock:

It looks as though it will take two years for us to have adequate earning power again, so we are looking for people who will help us monthly for two years. During that time we will continue as full time students, and then, when I graduate, we won't need outside support any longer.

...Thank you so much. We feel our move into the Dream Center is the next step God would have us take. Any help we can get with this will be greatly appreciated and, I believe, rewarded in heaven.

As Bloggernista said:
It takes some serious gaul to get busted for buying drugs, cheating on your wife with a male hooker all while preaching family values and anti-gay rhetoric from the pulpit and then come back after a mere three weeks in therapy to claim that you are now "completely heterosexual" and continue to ask others to support you through religious contributions.

"we will continue as full time students, and then, when I graduate..."
when HE graduates, what?  his wife just drops everything and rubs his feet?  what is she going to school for then, just to become a more qualified recipient of his man tool?  disgusting.

Lurleen on Twitter

Forgiven by Jesus??
Only if you believe in fairies and Santa Claus.

Make alot of noise. Life is short.

Ted Haggard is broken

because of being shameless and brainwashed, not for being homosexual.

I like that trick about believing donors will be rewarded in heaven.  By the way, I feel God wants me to move to Club Med for a couple years.  Any money I can receive to accomplish this will be, I believe, rewarded in heaven.

How convenient. 

On the other hand, if he were honest with himself and the world, and were pursuing reality-based therapy, I'd consider making a contribution myself.



jesus girl get a new colorist
For krist sakes Theodora, can you please find a new colorist? Y'all look like shit and our team don't wantcha. Now Ben Dover.

Nothing new

'Cash-For-Heaven'?

Didn't this used to be called 'selling indulgences'?

Maybe he should have moved to Rome.

And, back to the 11th Century.

These Creatures Have No Shame...

Only the Fundie crowd would be able to pull a stunt like this. Mr. Haggard and his family are that important to the survival of the 'Verse? I'm shocked by this revelation.

 

Sorry Ted... not one freakin' dime from this little Trans witch girl in New Orleans. I can think of thousands of good people to lend aid to, and they aren't lying scumbags like you. You're on your own Fundie...



Never in history

Have so many people been so gullible and so willing to succumb to such a bunch of predatory parasites as have these Jeebus feeders!

Yeah, Ted is het, Oral (can you believe that name?!!) saw an 800 foot Jeebus in the store parking lot, and Robertson can leg lift 2,000 lbs.

Jesus told me he wants his followers to all buy an acre of land in the swamps of South Florida (which I happen to own, so send your hard-earned money now) to be closer to him too!  After all, it's God's will!

Idiots......

Isn't that illegal?

If any supporters need a tax deduction for their gift, they can mail it to Families With a Mission at P.O. Box 63125, Colorado Springs, CO 80962. The supporters would need to write their check to "Families With A Mission" and put a separate note on it that it is for the Haggard family, then Families With a Mission will mail us 90% of the funds for support and use 10% for administrative costs.

 

Sounds like money laundering to me.  Or maybe a conspiracy to defraud the government and/or tax evasion.  Is  Ted really a tax exempt charity?  Obviously not.  Somebody should complain to the Feds. 



Same old
He's been living off of gullible people's charity for years now, why stop?

Perhaps it's time for Ted to work for a living

What are his job qualifications?  Educated at Oral Roberts U.  Hmm.

To quote Dr. Peter Venkman, "Ted, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries. "

 

Fries with that? 



And there is absolutely nothing wrong with
working in the housekeeping or food service industries.  But there is lots wrong with "earning" money through the methods he's used in the past, and are attempting now.

[ Parent ]
HEY TED, Mc Donalds is HIRING.... Seek and Ye Shall Find Legitimate Employment
Wouldn't it be a hoot to see & hear Ted say "You want Fries with that?" He's still in denial and looking to sucker off the public again.

Typical
As is usually typical with Religious Right leaders (and former ones), they are so grandiose with what they are going to do or what they want to accomplish (all for the glory of God, of course), and then in same statement or letter hit up the sheeple for a contribution.  To paraphrase the late Leona Helmsly, "Shame is for the little people".

Of course he's asking for money
Meth and hookers don't grow o0n trees, ya know!

The sad part is
that there are going to be an alarming number of people who believe him and who will send him the money. 

My America includes LGBT families.

Send a check
Daddy' jonesing for some Tina and a big stud to rock his world.

What have you done today, to make ya feel PROUD?

Ha
Jonesing is what got him into trouble in the first place.

[ Parent ]
I bet parents are lining up their kids for him to lay hands on 'em
not so much

What have you done today, to make ya feel PROUD?

he's all fagged out
Being an ex-gay is a full time job

What have you done today, to make ya feel PROUD?

'The Dream Center' -. how apt - a Center for Dreamers

That poor poor Gayle I bet she is having to endure endless sessions of Teds Viagra-ed man tool in his quest to prove he is 'completely heteorsexual'. 

Lets face it with some viagra and a rerun of some old hooker sessions in the head it would be posisble to shag anything - even the poor fool of a wife.  Particularly when the 'earning power' and 'dinner on the table' was at risk.

The Dream Center is absolutely the right place for these Haggard beggars.  The sad thing is there is probably people stupid enough to fall for it all.

 

 

 



To make matters worse
To make matters worse, his former church agreed to pay his full salary for the remainder of 2007.  On top of that, they still own their house in Colorado Springs, which is worth over $400,000.  And they need money?

what it all means to me

   For a long time now, I've had the privilege of hanging out with the folks at ExGayWatch and getting to know Wayne Besen even better.

I have reached out to those who consider themselves free of homosexuality. It took a while, but the conclusions I came to was the attention ex gays crave. The chronic and almost addictive need for validation of their heterosexual AFFECTATION. They look to have back patting and medals for doing something most heterosexuals really don't think about so much or care about asserting in a way I think is a CARICATURE of heterosexual life.

It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. And over and over again, the loudest ex gays say they lived a life of promiscuity, or prostitution, drugs and other issues that stem from low self esteem and repression. Which could happen to anyone.

As a straight woman who has no agenda whatsoever to change a gay person, I find their activity almost comically pathetic. I am, as many gay people are...comfortable in my sexuality.

That's as it should be. With ex gays, there is this affect of having been at one extreme of sexual irresponsibility to what they consider the OTHER extreme of moral goodness.

On the one hand, if I ask an ex gay, what they think their life would have been like had they been accepted as gay. Or why aren't their more black gay males because of the high incidence of fatherless homes among black children. Or why do so many ex gays become the center of attention as ministers in their own ministries, as opposed to just living quietly without all the adulation? Not a  single one has answered, and have actively become hostile towards me.

Hey, if THEY aren't comfortable in their sexuality, that's fine. But they've politicized wanting OTHER gay people to feel that way, so all bets are off about how benevolent and comforting their motives are.

Frankly, a world full of people like them, or all heterosexuals and no transgendered people would bore the hell out of me. And I don't especially appreciate these ex gay minstrel shows with about as much credibility that a white male could wear blackface and call himself a black person.

The gay people who finally came into their own, and rejected the ex gay lives they tried to lead are much more who I'd trust and respect and understand. And they do lead far more modest and committed lives.

   And if all the gay folks turned, this ignorant world would still be in the dark about gay people and the truth about their lives. None of us would have the opportunity for illumination on that. And THAT would be the real tragedy.



Hmmm...

One would think that the IRS and the US Attorney's Office would be interested in the disbursment of funds from 'Families with a Mission'.  Oh, never mind...

 Kisses,

MNM



Haggard Reaches Huberty

It is illegal for a charity to pass on donations to specified clients like that. AND: the charity is no longer registered in Colorado. AND the guy who runs it, Paul Huberty, is a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER, in Hawaii. AND he failed to register as one when he moved to Colorado, as the law requires.

http://slog.thestran...

I have a feeling a world of hurt is about to descend on the Haggard and Huberty Show. These guys are con artists, pure and simple every time.



I's hate to suggest that all gay men share characteristic behavior

...so let's just say that Ted Haggard is a FLAMER and always has been. Any Christian who could listen to him preach, skipping about the stage shouting Hay! and not say ' this man is a closet case' is so stupid, so blind, that their faith is automatically undermined by their dumbness. Some boys can'y hide it but they don't usually end up fronting evangelical churches.

 

If you believe that Ted's heterosexual, you can believe anything.
