Why?

Well it is possible. Consider the possibility the sister later "returns" and stops partying. She may admit that is what she was doing

Then again maybe she is just rebelling and using the bible to justify herself to annoy her sister.

In anycase I don't see how the bible can be used to justify partying

Nor I. I agree she is justifying that. But the other stuff? I'm not soo sure. And if she isn't justifying the standards stuff then maybe that realization has pushed her into being how she is now. But the question I was asking is why do apostolics tend to assume that when a person stops following the standards and says they don't believe the bible teaches them that they are always labeled as just trying to justify their behavior.

Well, whether the standards be right or wrong (I am quite moderate in my interpretation of most of them), very often when someone simply drops standards en toto they also get a new wife, have an affair or other sinfulness.

Not saying there is any direct connection, but I certainly understand why some think there is one.
