New Life Church may want forget that whole Ted Haggard scandal, but, like the Super Bowl, the brouhaha simply won't cease. As we noted yesterday, the church has sacked about 30-50 employees. Today The New York Times expands on that story, reporting that the Church has found itself in a bit of a financial bind:
Since the announcement of Mr. Haggard’s removal on Nov. 5, New Life’s donations have fallen to $4.9 million in the past four months, compared with $5.3 million in the same period a year earlier…
Of the economic strain, associate pastor and potential king, Rob Brendle said:
These are difficult times, and these have been difficult decisions. But the floor of this church has not fallen out… I would say that the people at New Life are confident in the process of transition that is under way and hopeful for the future. There is a pervasive sense that our best days are ahead of us.
Let's hope so, because they're certainly not behind you.

$4.9 M is still about $4.899 M too much for those hypocritical hate-filled doucehbags
If anyone ever needed proof that this religious gay bashing has anything to do with anything but raising money – here it is.
maybe if they would all cut back on their meth consumption they could same a bit of money.
another money saving tip……..just go to your local glory holes instead of paying for hookers. it is far less costly and serves the same pupose.
one last thing, the queens that run the joint could same money by not purchasing those cheap ass toupes.
just go bald. those wigs always get in the way when you are giving head.

Important as this story is – and it IS important – I have something to say: Can we please, please!, find another picture of Haggard?
I'm sorry but every frickin' time I see the pic (and everyone uses it), all I can think of is those awful commercials where they put peanut butter in a horses mouth to make them flap their lips like their speaking.
I see this pic and all I can think of is "Whinneeeee! Yo hoss! Gideeyup". (As I write, I realize that pretty much sums him up, doesn't it.)

He does have a real Mr. tED vibe to him, doesn't he?

WTF r they spending the money on if over 4 mil isn't enough to fund church? Why would a church need 30-50 employees anyway? If they were real christians they would be volunteering their time.
