I know Mark Fogarty. I do not know her.

I'm a hypocrite, and completely biased.

I would ignore someone who was threatening to sue me as well.

So you are okay with her wearing a bikini being grounds for divorce... and subsequent remarriage?

Seriously? I have answered the same question over and over.

Yes ... he would file for divorce ... flippantly flaunting his liberties.

In no way do I excuse his comments, however, if my wife was at a pool with one of my male friends in nothing but a bikini, I would file for divorce. In my opinion, she exercised extremely poor judgment, and showed an unhealthy willingness to mingle with a member of the opposite sex in a very volatile manner.

I do think everyone on this thread have missed the reason why Fogarty did not apologize. First, he may not have felt he did anything wrong. Second, he may have believed an apology would be viewed as an admission of guilt, and used against him in court.

Ironic, I know.

You said what you would do. But, I want to know if you think it is grounds Biblically.

He could get Pastor Fogarty to defend this at the next UGST symposium

Maybe, but no apology would have stopped the lawsuit any way.

And, for the record, I would only ever apologize for the public comments, not for feeling she committed sin.
