Is it just me or does the woman behind the camera sound like a complete dick? I'm just imagining this big fat in your face bitch with an attitude because she's obese.
Another thing - the amount of shit that Haggard is getting because he's gay. This type of stuff - "Ted you're a faggot!" "Bet you'd like a big **** wouldn't you?" - is coming from the exact same people who claim to hate him for being homophobic.
Welcome to the real world bitch. Plenty of people live morally upstanding lives and never made as much money. I don't piety that he lost money. He should have never made that much money anyways. Most of the people he preached to lived the way he does now.
@jdp456 She really isn't "kicking him while he's down". She is simply illustrating and articulating the world Ted and his family have to face every day.
@jdp456 I was saying the same thing...There is no objectivity in personal sarcasm for an attempting cheap humor at his expense...You are totally right!!
Ted's a good man, so he cheated on his wife, doesn't matter who with, he's trying to make up for it and it's no ones place to judge him. He's show total humility and I have nothing but respect for him.
Umm....HOW THE FUCK can a church "Ban" a person from an entire state.
WTF is this???
What's even more hilarious is the fact that after all of this poor Ted is so brainwashed he's still trying to convince himself that he's NOT gay and he also keeps practicing the religion which KICKED HIM OUT.
@boxbreaker2011 Don't think he is gay you know. He said in another film that he was sexually abused when he was a kid, by some guy who worked for his dad, that sort of thing can really fuck a person up. Agree with what you say about the ban, WTF indeed!!!
As a gay man without a religion I believe Ted Haggard has his own beleifs. Who are we to judge him? He loves his wife and family....his sexuality is in conflict with this....what is the man supposed to do? Society itself, can force a path we might not choose for ourselves, but we try to comply. If society and the church had been more encompassing in his early life he might have chosen a path that was more comfortable for him.
@unrealtrip LOL this is what I thought! Isn't it supposed to be the land of the free??? I mean for fuck sake, who the hell do these people think they are telling people where they can and can't live? Ted should have told them to go and fuck themselves and stayed the fuck put!
Are you serious?!!? I can understand where you are coming from, him trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
What's really awkward about all this is the fact that there are liberal Christians that have heterosexuals accept homosexuals, transexuals, etc. Why didn't he go into that? If he did go that way, he wouldn't be blamed for his actions?
This man isn't a loser, for fuck's sake ! He's been deceived by the biggest lie ever, that's all. When a man or a book tells you that you mustn't be who you really are, then it's a lie ! That's why this man's life was ruined. What a shame.
I dunno -- I was very upset that this guy made such a mockery of his church but, I was also a bit sad giving that his ONLY big fall was this extra marital same sex ongoing sexual indiscretion, that he was treated so poorly by his own church. Call me crazy but being raised in a christian family, accountability is important but so is forgiveness. This guy had issues but he was also clearly still capable of preaching. To me what was absurd was the talk prior to his fall of him in politics.
I think he's a great example of hypocrisy and the overcome of hypocrisy. And I totally agree with Pastor Ted Haggard, all leaders suffer through some sin. Like Judas he suffered the love of money which led to his death. And like Pastor Ted Haggard, he suffered through homosexuality, which led him to be exiled. But also remember the love of God through him and his faith for God.
@YesxusFreak continues.... Never, had he given up on loving Jesus, although we're throwing stones at him now, Jesus is saying, "Rise, go and sin no more." Clearly, he has risen and is no longer sinning. Who are we to condemn this man?
I still wonder why he didn't just start a new church somewhere else and make it more open and available to alternative lifestyles. I'm sure he had/has plenty of followers who would come to his new church regardless of what had happened. To me, him not doing that just shows me how blatantly stupid he is and how blatantly unresourceful he was. He should have stood up for himself and his family instead of running around like a whipped dog. If he ever reads this, grow a pair and be what you are!
For the first half of this I thought, "this guy is a jackass". By the end, you might see him as just a broken man, and a product of an disgraceful religious body. How does his old church have the audacity to tell him to leave COLORADO? How arrogant are these people? No wonder he's so screwed and unprepared for function in the real world. Some of this is their fault. Perhaps he would have spared his family the agony of humiliation if he and his church had a concept of the real world.
@cbwell77 Well, I agree with you on that one, but partially. Before any one makes any comment you should know the way the Church punishes those, who brought shave on the Church and Christ Himself. At first, I was also angry at Ted Haggard. You should understand, that what he has done, not only brought shame on Ted, but the Church and Christianity. It' s like a crooked cop. I personally believe that Ted himself knows that God has let it happened for his own best. The church should have helped him
The real problem here is not Ted Haggard's so called "Fall From Grace". The problem is Christians in general who apparently cast out and abandon their wounded to be swallowed up by their proposed transgressions against God. As a gay man with a faith based in Christian values, I think this behavior is against absolutely everything that Jesus ever taught. These people should be so ashamed to call themselves Christians as there is nothing "Christ-like" about them. Shame!
Screw the church! I'm an atheist and even I feel bad for this guy. Its sad to watch this man struggle. If only he'd leave his wife and accept himself as a gay man. I'm sure his kids will understand.
The documentary has presented the "sad" side of the guy and I am not sure if this was done on purpose. The other side has to do with his preachings that enhanced gay hate and made some other people's lives MUCH more miserable than his, resulting in losing jobs, being separated from their families, psychological depression due to bullying,, even suicide. However, I agree with forgiveness without that meaning giving him money etc. Forgiveness from within is enough...
Excellent doccumentary and so very very sad as well. The evangleical/pentecostal movement is indeed a beast that if you cross it...i will spit you out! It is true that Mr Haggard was wrong to say one thing and do another, but the response from the church was terrible. Once again, excellent doccumentary...Bravo!
