The woman still was in a compromising situation. I'm not going to look past that. Sorry.

But you're willing to look past the fact that a man and his pastor distorted the meaning of fornication just so that man could divorce and remarry?

I know many Baptists that would never wear a bikini in public, Danny.

Are you honestly saying you see nothing wrong with this chick strutting her stuff with a guy she's not married to? Nothing at all? Really? Honestly? truly? Verily?

You don't even think it was sinful, unwise, deceitful, and lascivious?

She shouldn't have been strutting her stuff with a guy she isn't married to but that doesn't justify a pastor telling saints about it from the pulpit!

I think it's wrong.

I don't think it's fornication or adultery.

while she was in the pool in her bikini. Fornication?

At the very least, stupidity.

I love how you guys give her all of the benefit of the doubt, but staple Fogarty to the nearest cork board.

Add stupidity to the reasons for divorce.

I'm looking at what was wrong with her that she would show up dressed like that? Something isn't right there. I could see the pastor and husband furious over her actions. Even if she wasn't in church and he was, he isn't going to be happy with her. She isn't being loyal to him. There was a separation in lifestyle and commitment. Something was not being equally yoked.

And Catholics, Lutherans, Methodists and Muslims too.
