Haggard massage table goes missing

You will have to look elsewhere if you were planning on buying the Ted Haggard memorial massage table as the auction site EBay has pulled the listing claiming that it violates its policy on fund raising. (WTF?)

Mike Jones, the former escort who had offered the table and was planning to donate the proceeds to Project Angel Heart believes that EBay succumbed to pressure from an "ex-gay" Christian group out of Delaware called Transforming Congregations. Their motto seems to be "encouraging transforming ministry to all persons affected by relational brokenness resulting in sexual sin". I must confess that I had not heard the phrase "relational brokenness" used as a euphemism for homosexuality before. It just goes to show that no matter how old you are you can always learn something.
