Which is deceitful and actually breaks one of the Ten Commandments. And we have a woman who asked for the deceitful statement to be retracted on two occassions and was ignored the first time and denied the second.

Wearing a bikini didn't cross the Bible like the announcement from the pulpit did... She wore a bikini, but the pastor bore false witness against his neighbor.

Does anyone think wearing a bikini is worse than breaking one of the Ten Commandments?

"Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's."

Deuteronomy 5:21

Notice the emphasis.
