    My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

    By Jeremy | November 10, 2006

    This is startling, simply more fodder for those who call us hypocrites, especially so soon after Dr. Dobson's friend's public disgrace.

      Not to defend any of the superstars in their superstardom, but in the case of Dr Dobson it may be that he was named to do a task he didn’t commit to doing. Working with Pastor Ted was something he was asked to consider, but hadn’t committed to it before it went public.
      That being said, I still don’t know why you wouldn’t commit to your brother no matter what your work load.
      I think it says that if we are spiritual, we should restore those who have fallen, unless we want to get caught up in the same sin.
      It also says that we will be judged the way we judge.
      Small potatoes and close to Christ is the way to go!

      Not sure the big deal here either.

      I can’t imagine how much work it will for the guys on the couseling team to work through all the issues that would play into an elder carrying on a 3 year homosexual affair with a male prostitute all while leading the church. No elder is perfect, but this is a huge mess. If Dobson felt that he would not be able to give the task the attention it needed, good for him that he made that clear before getting in too deep. Dobson is not Jesus… there are thousands of God-loving counselors that can step in and serve the body of Christ with their gifts by helping Ted & family find some redemption in this. I wouldn’t hold it against anybody if they said “Look, Ted, I love you, but at this time I couldn’t give this healing process the attention it deserved.”

      And I don’t buy the B.S. of “Well, it’s Ted Haggard… Dobson should drop everything he was doing because we really need Ted to be restored for the sake of evangelicalism in America.” Please.

      I agree that it would be unreasonable to expect Dobson to be Haggard’s primary counselor. But it appeared from the initial public statements about the team that would help restore him that Dobson would be no more responsible for weekly counseling (or whatever other restoration mechanics) than the other two pastors would be (neither of whom even live in Colorado). I interpreted that those three would help hold Haggard accountable and somehow oversee the process, but not necessarily handle day-to-day responsibilities. In any event the initial comments were vague enough that Dobson’s schedule could have been accomodated. The problem I have with this is that after initially defending Haggard of the charges, Dobson then allowed his name to be tied to his restoration. I understand that this may have been a hasty and emotional response, but to then announce publicly only days later that you’re too busy to (a) help a brother out and (b) keep your public word is another unnecessary blow.
