I totally agree with you I was so saddend when my old church (me and my wife are members of) knew me and her were seperated and she was living with her bf. She still goes to that church living in sin and no one talked to her our brought up her situation, because they said only if she wants too. Even the pastor who I looked up to hasn't said anything, but that they don't want to discourage or scare her. That they are showing God's love. Taking in mind she is suppose to be a confessing christian and memeber of the church? It really just saddens me!

Oh yes... how dare they be civil toward the woman who I broke up with. Don't they know that they were MY church, not hers? How can they take her side and still be Christians? And what's worse, they're actually forgiving her and accepting her into their fold even though she's a sinner. Don't they know that Jaysus hates sinners?
Hmm... broken link? Not the usual RR deleted thread link.
On the other hand, my grandmother is living with her BF - a used car salesman who sold me a car with no hazards and 5% braking in the front and 0% in the back. I drove it a winter and I can't believe I'm still alive. I think THAT is worse. Heck, I'll even be more bitter, the money left for me when my grandfather died has now been spent on her BF's kids - they're "better."
Gee romans224 that really sucks, maybe you should find a church that still believes in stoneing an aldultress to death. I'm sure you'd feel much better after the first couple of rocks smashed her face...
I'm sure that is what Jesus would want of you, didn't he say the jealous ex-husband should cast the first stone?
Of course the Pastor does not condemn as long as the stupid keep tithing. They do not want to erode their income stream. The priestly class may be many things - hypocrites, adulterers, child molesters, and otherwise general frauds, but they are not stupid.
Sad to be him. Nothing Fundie in what he said. He feels let down by his ex-spouse and his in-group. Support in our relationships is something we can validly expect to receive from our family, friends, and churches if we have them.
I agree w/ John-in Oz
Honestly I can't say I blame someone for being bummed when going through a divorce, knowing your soon-to-be ex is sleeping with someone else, and no one in your peer group seems to be acting supportively. I don't think it's very fundie to expect your wife to wait until the divorce is final to start banging other people.
Sometimes I get the feeling that people on this board fantasize just as hard about fundies being assholes as fundies do about us being assholes.
@ TheReligiousCommie,
I'm with waigoren here. No, not cynical at all, as those frauds aren't capable of, or willing to, hold down a real job. It's the longest-runnning scam in human history.
Judge not...
Or are you a hypocrite, romans224?
EDIT: Actually, after looking up the verses he uses for a username, I think that romans224 is a very, very subtle Poe. If that's the case, BRAVO!
Judge not, lest ye be judged. Here is the reason why fundy Xtians shouldn't be allowed to marry.
Four Words: Jimmy Swaggart. Ted Faggard.
It saddens me that this person has no grasp of grammar.
It also saddens me that someone clearly forgot that story about the shepherd who did everything he could to bring back one lost sheep instead of doting over the 99 sheep that stayed in the fold. Now who's credited with writing that story...oh yeah, it was Jesus.
It looks like his problem isn't that his friends at church aren't supporting him. It's that they aren't all condemning his ex wife for living in sin. Something that's clearly none of his, or their, business.
People, go look up Romans 2:24
Bravo sir, bravo.
I'm starting to wonder how many are real over on RR and how many are Poes.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
