First of all, Im happily remarried (as a few know) and I dont butt into my EXs life at all (divorced for 5yrs)....but my wife ran into a friend of hers the other day that knows my EX, and you would not believe what he told her. He said a friend of his formed a band, and asked my EX to sing in it.....christian music mainly for churches. She accepted.....well, they had practice at each others homes....(I think its 3 to 4 members in the band, all guys except my EX). Well, the time came to where practice was to be held at her home. My EX agreed to this no problem....but, when her STILL MARRIED B/F of the last 4yrs found out, he told her that it was inappropriate to have other men at her home and it upset him, and that if she allowed them to practice there......they were finished. WHAT!!!??? Please hit me with a brick or something!!! Did I hear that correctly??? Anyhow, she told the guys they couldnt practice at her house and why......they kicked her out of the band.

Unbelievable............... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

One has to wonder about the Christian gal, that is committing open adultery, and then joins a band, and goes around to churches performing concerts. WOW.

Sounds like you came out for the better.

Gosh StartinOver, didn't you know that its only wrong when THEY experience it. Otherwise its open season and anyone else should just suck it up and except "they were meant TO BE".

It gets worse....I knew him (married b/f) for 8yrs.....he preaches at the church (beneath the pastor) and his wife teaches sunday school at the church. My EX still attends also.

I told the Pastor about it, he was going to get to the bottom of it.......3yrs ago. They are still seeing each other........... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah, I did get the better end of the deal......a wonderful woman with morals. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sadly all too common these days. It's what happens when people no longer hold the Scripture to be the Word of God.

It sounds like you got the "best end of the deal." Congratulations on what sounds like a wonderful marriage for you and your current wife.

God bless.

I'll say it what happens when folks don't follow those iron clad "authoritative morals".

And I get criticized for having "variable morals". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Nosireebob! Can't have non-authoritative morals because THEN you can change them anytime you want and world chaos would ensue!!

Yep, its really sad too.....because I believe that is why a great deal of people turn away from church.....they initially believe its supposed to be better than the outside world. Unfortunately, satan attends church also.

Those who are in church will be held more accountable than those in the world......they should know better. The others are just lost.
