  After years of serving in leadership I have learned: those who yell the loudest & preach the hardest are the guiltiest.

  Hypocrisy and deception are two key elements in the success of any mega-church pastor or TV evangelist.  Other important factors are greed, holier-than-thou arrogance, and the ability to blather on for hours without saying anything of worth or significance.  It also helps to have pitiless disdain for the suckers who will send you the money which will enable your lavish lifestyle.  These shameless hucksters are "spiritual" in the same way most politicians are "honest."  They are all about PROFITS, not prophets.

  I can't think of Colorado Springs without being reminded of Ted.

  Power attracts the corruptible. Be wary of all who seek it.

  Look into the case of Martha Ann Johnson. She murdered all four of her children. She killed one each time her husband left her. You can do research in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Thanks for your hard work. Take care.

  There are many religious leaders in all denominations and faiths that fool others into giving them money and power. It is frustrating to see so many people losing their lives and money in such scams.

  As &nbsp;a Colorado Springs resident, I can tell you the following, Haggard got caught with a male prostitute doing drugs. But prior to this, that New Life Church fired a lesbian security guard who took out a would be mass shooter on that church campus. They forgot about THAT. &nbsp;Haggard then took off for another state for a while, THEN he came back here, started the &apos;Red Barn Church&apos; at his house on Ranch Road about 3 blocks away from New Life Church. I know this cause I used to drive past it all the time on my pest control route. He bought horses and riches which is interesting since he was shamed, &nbsp;where&apos;d he get all that money? &nbsp;His wife made a book &quot;Why I Stayed&quot; &nbsp;We all know WHY she stayed, cause she&apos;s a leech and it&apos;s all about the money. She hasn&apos;t worked a real job in her entire life. As far as that house on Ranch Road, it&apos;s &nbsp;easily a million dollar home on Ranch Road/Voyager Parkway in Colorado Springs, CO. Now he has some &apos;church&apos; out in Rockrimmon (a suburb of Colorado Springs, CO). He continues to be a scam artist. &nbsp;No-one here likes him and we are all appalled and embarrassed that he lives here.<br>I ended up doing the pest control for Brady Boyd, who took over and he and his family are super nice folks. &nbsp;I never went to that church though.
