Dobson to aid in counseling Haggard
wonder if Dobson is going to show Haggard his dick, too?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Focus on the Family founder James Dobson will be one of the people overseeing counseling for the Rev. Ted Haggard, the evangelical pastor who was fired amid allegations of gay sex and drug use, a senior official of Dobson's organization said Monday.

The counseling process, called restoration, could take years, said H.B. London, vice president for church and clergy at Focus on the Family, a Colorado Springs-based ministry.

"I think it may be more in helping to set the requirements of the restoration, set the ground rules," London told The Associated Press.

Haggard was forced out as senior pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs on Saturday after a former male escort alleged they had sex repeatedly and that Haggard sometimes was on methamphetamines during their trysts.

In a statement read at the church Sunday, Haggard confessed to unspecified "sexual immorality," accepted responsibility for his actions and asked forgiveness.

Dobson will join pastor Jack Hayford of The Church on the Way in Van Nuys, Calif. and the pastor Tommy Barnett of First Assembly of God in Phoenix in overseeing Haggard, according to a letter from Haggard read at New Life services on Sunday.

2. Is Dobson going to instruct him on the manliness of beating puppies
Or take a shower with him to show the size of a real man's penis?

This is unbelievable.

8. Dobson will probably want him to show him what he did to another man.
Just to make sure what he did was sinful.

14. After all, Dobson DID write several spanking manuals
Pretty hot stuff if you're into that kind of thing. Otherwise, either a hoot or morbidly disturbing, depending on your sense of humor.

Dobson condones inflicting anal aggression only on children. Kids can't consent -- but they can't fight back, either, which is more of Dobson's speed.

--p!

21. My suspicion is, he feels he needs to wage "war" on the "pervasive gay agenda" that he sees
Edited on Tue Nov-07-06 01:34 AM by impeachdubya
everywhere because he can't deal with his own feelings. His "organization" is downright obsessive when it comes to hunting down any sort of "gay erotica" in, for instance, ads. They were the ones who made a big stink about that Volvo ad where the parking brake looked like a hard-on.

Classic case of severe religious-based repression, guilt, and subsequent projection. Just my non-professional analysis.

18. They said they'd be using a lie detector machine,
but they didn't say where they were going to attach it.

22. Maybe Dobson will show him
his willy.

That's what he said you should do with your son.

Maybe it doesn't matter to Dobson if your son is 35 years old :)

26. Such "counseling" will give new meaning to the "laying on of hands"...
...and mutual "redemption," no doubt...
