Yes, it is possible and entirely probable that all was not right in the heart of this lady in the bikini. However, we don't have all the information as to the relationship between all the parties involved (bikini lady, her husband, mutual friend and mutual friend's husband). My husband would be aghast if he saw me at a pool in a bikini and there were men (or a man) there! Not sure he would accuse me of adultery, but he for sure wouldn't like it.

You're right ........... all parties involved (pastor, divorced wife and divorced husband) didn't handle things properly.

HOWEVER, I think that if you stop and REALLY think about it, you will understand the point that most people on here have been trying to make.....

You've been around Pentecost long enough to know that some people's "convictions" change when it is their child or grandchild involved. Most likely (not fact, but an assumption on most everyone's part), is that this pastor made a huge mistake by trying to reconcile his previous "convictions" and teachings regarding divorce and remarriage to justify his daughter's involvement with a divorced man. I've seen it happen more than once....

That may be true, but just because the article states that was what was going on, are we going to, emphatically, take that view as well? I'm not willing to do that. I feel uncomfortable, as though, something is being left out. Something doesn't feel right to me.

And I feel equally uncomfortable labeling the bikini wearer as a fornicator.

I was looking at that as viewing her mindset in dressing that way in mixed company being married to an Apostolic man. And if the pastor is very conservative with standards as someone stated, that doesn't surprise me.

Well, we don't know the whole of the story. We just know what she wanted presented at court. I don't know the testimony from the other side. I don't care that a jury ruled in her favor. It was a secular court.

It should've been judged by the other 14 members of the Executive Board ... I agree.

You're on a mission against the UPCI. I can't always listen to what you have to say. LOL!
