He admitted he had messed up but defended himself with "Well, I don't believe what I did justified divorce."
The conversation eventually played out and right before we disconnected he stated that he had heard I left the UPC, and asked why. I told him of my disagreements with official positions.
This led to a 10 minute lecture comprised of pleas for me to return to "The Truth." "You know what's right," he said, as if I were somehow backslid.
I just listened, realizing nothing I would say could make him realize how warped he is.

So, to paraphrase his mindset... it is far worse to leave the UPC mothership than to commit sexual sins...
