田纳西保守基督徒参议员Stanley婚外性丑闻败露辞职

Tenn. state senator quits after affair with intern
By ERIK SCHELZIG
The Associated Press
Tuesday, July 28, 2009; 9:48 PM
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A Tennessee lawmaker resigned from the state Senate on
Tuesday after his extramarital affair with a 22-year-old intern was revealed
by an investigation into an extortion case.
"Due to recent events, I have decided to focus my full attention on my
family and resign my Senate seat effective August 10," Republican Sen. Paul
Stanley wrote in his resignation letter.
Court records show that Stanley, 47, told agents investigating a blackmail
case that he had a sexual relationship with intern McKensie Morrison. Her
boyfriend, Joel Watts, is charged with trying to extort $10,000 from Stanley
in April. Investigators say Watts demanded the money in exchange for not
releasing to the media explicit photos of Morrison that Stanley had taken in
what appears to be Stanley's apartment.
The senator, a married father of two who represents suburban Memphis, had
signaled he would remain in the legislature, but he said Tuesday that he
decided to step down about an hour before submitting his resignation letter.
Stanley, who was elected to the Senate in 2006 after serving six years in
the state House, had resigned last week as chairman of the powerful Senate
Commerce Committee.
A special election will be held to fill the seat in the Republican-
controlled Senate.
Stanley's legislative proposals were largely focused on pro-business issues,
but he also sponsored failed measures to ban gay couples from adopting
children. He also spoke out against funding for Planned Parenthood because
he said unmarried people should not have sex.
"Whatever I stood for and advocated, I still believe to be true," he said
during an interview Tuesday with Memphis radio station WREC-AM. "And just
because I fell far short of what God's standard was for me and my wife,
doesn't mean that that standard is reduced in the least bit."

Morrison's phone numbers are redacted from her legislative internship
application, and efforts to reach her were unsuccessful Tuesday. Her father
said he didn't want to talk about the situation.
"It's a family matter, and I'm going to approach it that way," Will Morrison
said.
According to court records, Morrison is married to a man who is serving a
seven-year prison sentence in Florida but that he has filed for divorce.
Watts said in an interview with a Nashville TV station last week that he
blamed Stanley for taking advantage of Morrison

not eight)

华盛顿州共和党领导Jim West，已婚，新教徒，积极参与制定多项反对同性恋政策
， 05年因勾引男孩和其它系列同性性丑闻而辞职
While in the legislature he served as Senate Majority Leader. During these
years, Jim West supported several anti-gay bills, including one that would
have banned gays and lesbians from working in schools and day care centers.
He also proposed a law that would ban all sexual activity among persons
under the age of 18 (the bill failed). He would later admit that he
regretted voting for those measures.[1] In 1995, when West was a state
senator, he advocated the impeachment of then-Gov. Mike Lowry for alleged
sexual harassment.
West was involved in a sex scandal in 2005. He was accused of sexually
abusing two young boys in the 1970s and 1980s when he was a sheriff's deputy
and Boy Scout leader. He was also accused of misusing his office as mayor
to lure teenage boys for sexual relationships. West called the molestation
allegations "flat lies". However he admitted to having private online
relationships in the past year through the Gay.com website (see ([3]).
West confirmed the accusations of meeting men over the Internet but denied
the charges that he had sought out minors (see[4]). Using the name "Right-
BiGuy" he allegedly offered internships to young gay men (some of whom were
just graduating from high school - none of whom, however, under the age of
18.

美国福音会前主席，共和党红人Ted Haggard，已婚，新教徒，一直积极反对同性恋

露后辞职并积极配合反同性恋的教会进行治疗。在经过三周的神奇治疗后，向外界宣布
已经变成彻底的异性恋这。令教会和右翼人士沮丧的是，Ted于09年再次承认和一名叫
Hass的教会成员长期保持同性恋关系。
Ted Arthur Haggard (born June 27, 1956) is a former American evangelical
preacher. Known as Pastor Ted to the congregations he served, he is the
founder and former pastor of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs,
Colorado; a founder of the Association of Life-Giving Churches; and was
leader of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) from 2003[1] until
November 2006.
In November 2006, he resigned or was removed from all of his leadership
positions after he admitted soliciting prostitute Mike Jones for homosexual
sex and methamphetamine. Initially Haggard denied even knowing Mike Jones,
but as a media investigation proceeded he acknowledged that some allegations
, such as his purchase of methamphetamine, were true. He later added "sexual
immorality" to his list of confessions.[2]
After the scandal was publicized, Haggard entered three weeks of intensive
counseling, overseen by four ministers. In February 2007, one of those
ministers, Tim Ralph, said that Haggard "is completely heterosexual."[3]
Ralph later said he meant that therapy "gave Ted the tools to help to
embrace his heterosexual side."[4] As of early 2009, Haggard continues to
receive counseling, and now he says that he is a “heterosexual with issues.
”
On January 23, 2009, officials from Haggard's former church announced that a
young male church member had come forward in 2006 and that there was an "
overwhelming pool of evidence [of an] inappropriate, consensual sexual
relationship [that] went on for a long period of time [with Haggard] ... it
wasn't a one-time act."[76] Haggard's successor, Brady Boyd, said the church
reached a six figure settlement with the man, who was in his early 20s at
the time.[78] According to the man, he said the contact was "not consensual"

美共和党基督徒议员与女实习生有染 被拍裸照勒索
青岛新闻网 2009-08-05 14:55:44 中国日报网
美国田纳西州参议员保罗-斯坦利一向反对婚外性行为，可是他的私人生活却与他公
开讲话所倡导的不太一致。据美国媒体近日曝光，斯坦利与一名22岁的女实习生发生性
关系后遭勒索，最后落得黯然辞职的下场。这起事件不啻为频频曝光的共和党
人性丑闻“锦上添花”，田纳西州一名共和党人在自己的博客上调侃说，“共和党人显
然无法抗拒女性”。
遭勒索后报警
现年47岁的斯坦利是田纳西州的共和党参议员，在州议会工作了将近10年，已婚并
育有2个孩子。今年4月，州议会里22岁的女实习生麦肯齐·莫里森的男友乔尔·沃茨打
电话威胁斯坦利，声称如果不支付1万美元赎金，他就会将莫里森在斯坦利住所拍的裸
照卖给媒体和其他人。
斯坦利感觉遭到敲诈勒索，随后向调查部门报了案。斯坦利承认自己和莫里森发生
过性关系。不过他对这件事一直保持沉默，直到7月20日首次法庭听证会开始，他的选
民们和一些同事——包括该州参议院中的共和党发言人在内——才知道真相。
7月28日，斯坦利发表声明称自己将在8月10日正式辞职。
说一套行一套
多年来，斯坦利从不掩饰自己对同性恋婚姻、同性恋伴侣收养孩子、婚外性行为的
强烈反对。这一点即便在他“东窗事发”直至宣布辞职后也没有改变，他一直认为自己
是这件丑闻中的受害者。上个星期接受采访时表示：“我曾经支持和倡导的东西，我现
在仍然坚信不疑。仅仅是我未能达到上帝规定的对婚姻关系的标准，这并不意味着这个
标准有一丝一毫的降低。”
但选民们似乎并不买账，不少人在新闻网站的跟帖中表达愤怒之情。孟菲斯市的一
名读者说：“所有那些假装圣洁的伪君子都该铭记这次教训。”
田纳西州民主党人马克·布朗认为，斯坦利最大的错误是表现得不诚实：“首先也
是最重要的是，说出真相。危机管理并不意味着你可以改变事实。”
婚姻亮红灯成借口？
当然，一个巴掌拍不响。据媒体报道，与斯坦利发生关系的这位莫里森小姐年少时
就不是特别安分，虽然她以荣誉学生的称号从高中毕业，并在大学里获得全科A的好成
绩，但她也曾因持有可卡因而被捕过，她的前夫因为殴打75岁老人目前正在监狱服刑。
此外，斯坦利的朋友还披露，斯坦利与自己妻子的婚姻“亮红灯”也有一段时间了。
虽然提出辞职，斯坦利还是认为莫里森和男友是在合伙敲诈他。不过目前检方表示
，除了莫里森的男友外，他们还不打算起诉其他人。
实际上，共和党人近期频频爆出婚外性丑闻。6月24日，美国南卡罗来纳州州长马
克·桑福德被迫在新闻发布会上承认，他此前一周神秘失踪，是因为他瞒着家人和同事
，偷偷前往阿根廷与情人幽会。在这一丑闻曝光前不到一周时间，共和党参议员约翰·
恩赛因也因与一位助手有染而被迫辞去共和党参院领导职务。

非洲神父修女车中做爱获轻判缓刑六个月
2004年07月31日 路透社 / 英国广播公司
人有七情六慾，神父和修女也不例外。 非洲国家马拉维一名神父和邻国赞比亚一名修女 「 受了魔鬼引诱」， 周三在一架停泊在公共停车场内的汽车中胡天胡地， 被警察当场发现， 逮个正。 他们周四在马拉维法庭承认在公众地方行为不检， 获轻判缓刑六个月。
这对「情慾」神父和修女， 分别是四十三岁和二十六岁。 目击者看到二人将车驶入利隆圭国际机场停车场， 停下后关上茶色车窗。 目击的的士司机说：「我们以为他们要赶上机， 但很奇怪， 他们很久还不下车。」 警方一名发言人则说： 「这真是怪事。 有市民看见那车趣怪地摇动， 所以报警。」
＊ 魔鬼引诱失理智 ＊
警方到场时， 二人仍然乾柴烈火， 结果当然是束手就擒。 该名年轻修女穿回修女服， 神父则穿回普通便装。 二人在警署被拘留一晚后， 周四出庭受审。 修女在庭上声泪俱下地表示懊悔， 说自己突然失去理智； 神父也自责抵不住「魔鬼引诱」。
＊ 判入狱半年缓期执行 ＊
法官亦痛责二人作为上帝的僕人， 最不应在公众地方行为不检点， 因此判他们入狱六个月做苦役， 但念在他们诚心悔过， 刑罚缓期执行。

英籍主教因否认纳粹屠杀遭刑事调查
http://www.sina.com.cn 2009年02月05日04:06 新京报
德国雷根斯堡州的地方检察官4日表示，他已对否定纳粹大屠杀的英籍主教理查德·威廉森提起刑事调查。
一名英籍主教理查德·威廉森此前在德国接受瑞典公共广播采访时说，纳粹并没有在集中营使用毒气室杀害犹太人。“我并不认为有毒气室的存在，我相信，有确信的历史证据表明，希特勒并没有将600万犹太人杀害在毒气室里。没有一位犹太人死在毒气室。”
威廉森的言论迅速在网络上传播，引起了教会内部和舆论的诸多争议和批评。发表此番言论后，美国犹太人协会更是对此表示强烈愤慨。
德国雷根斯堡州的检察官卢克德切尔4日表示，他正在调查威廉森主教的言论是否触犯法律，有可能以“煽动种族仇恨”的罪名对其提起诉讼。根据德国法律，否定纳粹大屠杀触犯刑法，最高将被判处5年的有期徒刑。
卢克德切尔说，检察机构在获知威廉森的评论后，于1月23日正式展开调查。
卢克德切尔检察官说，威廉森上周公开表示，他拒绝收回自己的言论。(吴妮)

美国基督教前领袖Haggard第二段同性性关系被踢爆！
Disgraced pastor Haggard admits second relationship with man
CNN) -- Evangelical pastor Ted Haggard described Thursday as "fundamentally
true" an assertion that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a
20-
year-old male volunteer in 2006.
Pastor Ted Haggard acknowledged on CNN's "Larry King Live" that he had a
second
relationship with a man.
The incident occurred when the two men were in bed together, Grant Haas said
in
a videotaped interview played on CNN's "Larry King Live."
"He pretty much asked me if it was OK if he masturbated in front of me or
masturbated in the bed next to me," Haas said. "I told him no, it would make
me
really uncomfortable. But he grabbed a bottle of lotion and started
masturbating."
Haas added, "(Haggard) used to say to me, 'You know what, Grant, you can
become
a man of God, and you can have a little bit of fun on the side."
Haggard, 52, said the incident was "an indicator of the compulsive behavior"
that ruled him at the time. However, he said he has been undergoing therapy
during the two years since and "working it out." Watch Haggard accuser
speak
out »
Controversy involving Haggard first erupted in November 2006, when a former
prostitute, Mike Jones, said the pastor had paid him for sex over three
years
and had used methamphetamine in his presence.
Haggard initially admitted in interviews that he received a massage from
Jones
but denied having sex with him. He also said he bought methamphetamine, but
threw it away instead of using it.

The assertions received widespread news coverage and sparked charges of
hypocrisy, particularly because Haggard had condemned homosexual sex. Watch

Haggard is the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals,
which claims to represent millions of people in 45,000 congregations
nationwide. He was also the head pastor at New Life Church.
In a settlement with New Life, the church and Haggard agreed that he would
retain his six-figure salary for a year, leave the Colorado Springs area,
receive counseling and not speak publicly about what had happened for one
year,
according to a church staff member with knowledge of the settlement but who
was
not authorized to speak on the record.
In the CNN interview, Haggard credited Jones with having helped him by
disclosing that information.
"I think he rescued me. I'm very grateful to him," Haggard said. He said he
would have lost the support of his wife of 30 years, Gail, and their five
children "and been a drug addict" had he not been caught.
"I paid a heavy price. It was stupid," he said.
Haggard likened his struggles with his desires to the struggles faced by
dieters who say, "'I'm not going to eat today' and then they eat."
"Many of the charges against me are exaggerated, but it doesn't matter,"
Haggard told Larry King. "I'm guilty enough of so many things."
He acknowledged that his actions were hypocritical, but said he could not
control his urges.
"I felt like God's plan was for sexuality to be in a monogamous,
heterosexual
marriage," he said. "I wanted that. But at the same time, I had these other
things going on."
Haggard said he had thought that focusing on his spiritual life would help,
but
found that it did not. "It actually made me worse," he said.
Haggard said that, for a time, he lost the ability to read the Scriptures
and
became suicidal. "I think it was divine intervention that stopped me," he
said.
Asked if he has engaged in inappropriate conduct with any other men, Haggard
did not give a direct answer, saying only, "I have thoroughly discussed all
of my sexual history with my wife and my therapist and, to some degree, the
family, and we think that's an appropriate boundary for that."
Asked whether he considers himself bisexual or gay, Haggard said that
different
therapists have described him in different ways. "The first said, 'You are a
heterosexual with homosexual attachments.' I wasn't sure what that meant."
His current therapist, he said, described him as "a heterosexual with
complications."
Haggard said he has, at least, another year of therapy ahead of him.
"I think I'm still deeply wounded and scarred and somewhat confused," he
said.
About other men, he added, "I have thoughts from time to time, but not
compelling thoughts."
Nevertheless, he said, "Today, I'm 100 percent satisfied with my
relationship
with my wife, and I have no compelling things in my life toward others."
He said he initially urged his wife to leave him, but she refused.
"I really do love this man," she told CNN when asked why she did not leave.
But it was also her faith that led her to stick with the marriage, she said. "
The
teaching of Jesus is that we forgive and that we love."
She said the two had "a great sexual relationship in our marriage ...
throughout marriage."
Though the news of his unfaithfulness came as a shock, it wasn't completely
out
of the blue, she said. "I knew that Ted had some struggles in this area,
particularly in his thoughts. I never knew that he acted on them."
Marcus Haggard, the couple's 25-year-old son, said he, too, was shocked by
the
revelations, but was more disturbed to learn that his father had lied. Still
,
he said the news brought the family closer together.
"He had lived so long on a pedestal," Marcus Haggard said about his famous
father. "He seemed practically perfect. There was a sense of relief in the
fact that we could connect with our dad."
Asked if he wants to return to the pulpit, Haggard said, "I think Gail and I
both want to tell our story to the degree that it's helpful to other people.
I
don't know that that would mean a pulpit, but certainly I'd be interested in
public speaking."
His appearance Thursday coincided with the debut of an HBO documentary
called
"The Trial of Ted Haggard."

Disgraced pastor Haggard admits second relationship with man
CNN) -- Evangelical pastor Ted Haggard described Thursday as "fundamentally
true" an assertion that he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a
20-
year-old male volunteer in 2006.
Pastor Ted Haggard acknowledged on CNN's "Larry King Live" that he had a
second
relationship with a man.
The incident occurred when the two men were in bed together, Grant Haas said
in
a videotaped interview played on CNN's "Larry King Live."
"He pretty much asked me if it was OK if he masturbated in front of me or
masturbated in the bed next to me," Haas said. "I told him no, it would make
me
really uncomfortable. But he grabbed a bottle of lotion and started
masturbating."
Haas added, "(Haggard) used to say to me, 'You know what, Grant, you can
become
a man of God, and you can have a little bit of fun on the side."
Haggard, 52, said the incident was "an indicator of the compulsive behavior"
that ruled him at the time. However, he said he has been undergoing therapy
during the two years since and "working it out." Watch Haggard accuser

Controversy involving Haggard first erupted in November 2006, when a former
prostitute, Mike Jones, said the pastor had paid him for sex over three
years
and had used methamphetamine in his presence.
Haggard initially admitted in interviews that he received a massage from
Jones
but denied having sex with him. He also said he bought methamphetamine, but
threw it away instead of using it.

Haggard is the former president of the National Association of Evangelicals,
which claims to represent millions of people in 45,000 congregations
nationwide. He was also the head pastor at New Life Church.
In a settlement with New Life, the church and Haggard agreed that he would
retain his six-figure salary for a year, leave the Colorado Springs area,
receive counseling and not speak publicly about what had happened for one
year,
according to a church staff member with knowledge of the settlement but who
was
not authorized to speak on the record.

著名的基督徒太多，贴不完..........................
呵呵，我还以为他就有过那么一次和妓男的"不齿"经历呢，却原来他是个连窝边草都不放过的老手了。
估计这也是被发现的，遮掩不了了，他才不得不承认。至于黑夜里还有多少其他"不齿"，那些人都多大年纪，如何和他干那些勾起之事的，就不知道了。
