I find it very hard to believe he would pick only ONE incident and tank her on it. Just can't see that. There is more to this story. It just doesn't make sense to have one isolated issue bring down the house.

PO - Yes, there is more to this story. The pastor's daughter married this girl's ex-husband. This church doesn't allow divorce without an adultery reason. So if Ms. Driver had not committed adultery, his daughter would be living in sin. It's that simple.

So, you are saying that the pastor and ex-husband lied to justify the marriage?

WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

They either lied to justify the marriage or they honestly believe that wearing a bikini and letting a man other than your husband see you in it is fornication...

Do you know that for a fact? Would you nail yourself to a cross on that one?

Its one or the other. Either he lied or he really is dumb enough to believe that a woman wearing a bikini in front of another man is fornication. Either way its some pretty heavy stuff. By the way I wouldn't nail myself to cross for anything. That's just crazy talk... would you?

Did someone say who the man was that she was wearing a bikini in front of?

Well, no, I wouldn't nail myself to a cross. I couldn't think of a more dramatic way to ask whether you would stand on your opinion or belief with your own life. LOL!

Distorted the meaning of fornication, absolutely.

So, you emphatically know that or is it just speculation? I think all of it is just speculation. And aren't we all so smart? We get to evaluate it all! Love it! I want to wear a black robe and a white wig! LOL!
