What does Mike believe he has to offer society on the whole? 2. How has exposing Ted changed his life, and, if he had it to do again, would he? 3.

Where does Mike see himself 5 years down the road? 10 years? 7. How does Mike hope to be remembered, or does he expect to be forgotten? 1. What does Mike believe he has to offer society on the whole?

But I wonder, from his perspective, is there any good that he hopes will come of his writing this book? A lot of people will say that his book is just exploiting a bad situation for personal gain.

I also like NYCatheist's fifth question, "What would you like to say to Ted Haggart and other's like him now?"

(not everyone necessarily delves into drugs when they have sex outside a marraige... I'm wondering if there was depression or something involved here) Was Ted into any kinky stuff? ;)

I do encourage you all to read it. I found it eye opening. I'm very impressed Hemant managed to get an interview with him! :) I would like to ask him "what is the main way your life has changed since all this? if you could name one major specific way your life has changed as a result of the whole Ted Haggard thing, what would it be?" the questions “what did they do” “his experience with xtians” and “does he consider himself a theist” and “has he been with other xtian leaders” are all answered to some degree in his book.

There was one page of introduction, where Mike was quite eloquent. The next page was basically gay porn. I put the book back down. My question would be, is there any chance we could get a version of the book where the porn was written in a different color, so that us straight guys could skim those parts without being tempted? ;-) I picked up Mike Jones’ book in the local bookstar.
