BS isn't a con, JT. *grin*

They said adultery had nothing to do with it? Well, we should believe that, right? I mean, they also said they'd remain together until death parted them . . . and that didn't work out. Of course they're going to put the best spin they can on it.

BS - I watched a few minutes of one of PW's broadcasts a couple months back where she couldn't keep her hands off the music leader. Kept putting her arm around him, walking around the stage with him while he sang, rubbing his back, etc. Not saying there was anything between them, but generally if a woman is that comfortable with that much contact on a stage in front of thousands of people - plus broadcast to millions more - and with her husband watching . . . more often than not, she's even more touchy offstage, off camera, behind the scenes.

I agree that there is always more going on behind the scenes besides 'we grew apart'. While I don't want anybody to go through adultery IMHO it would look better to most if there had been adultery. At least they would have a reason instead of an excuse.

What a message to preach to your church. Throw away vows and ignore the Bible if its more convenient for you.

Sad that they play it off as something normal...something to be accepted or expected.

The big winner - TBN. They made her the big name she is. Now without a marriage to mess with the scheduling, they can parade her on camera more often. In the process, TBN will also lower the bar by accepting divorce as status quo.

It's NOT just that she has become to big. From what I recall HE himself has decided to go off to some other town and start another BIG church..I think it's out here in So Cal.

Im sorry, but this all has the "feel" of being in business and not being in ministry. Particularly when most of the people that pad your pews are members from other smaller congregations with stars in their eyes.

Good grief....that was BS's point! Not that he was speculating which committed adultery, but that adultery or infidelity is the ONLY real reason for getting a divorce, not scheduling conflicts.

BTW is BS really a con?

Funny how the libs mind works!

I think they read "until death do us part, or scheduling conflicts, which ever comes first" and then in small fine print "in which case be it known that our lawyers have already worked out the details"

If my wife and I can connect our commitment to be saved with the biblical foundation* we use for a happy marriage, why can't these two 'learned teachers of the word' ? ? ?

Just in case the UCs missed it.....this thread is NOT about the UPC and Conservatives.

The next thread that is about the UPC and conservatives I will be pointing this out to the liberals too
