I get to the head of the line. I've been divorced twice and (*gasp*) married three times.
I already know what Hell is like. Anyone else who wants the privilege of this knowledge need only meet my first Mother-in-Law.
In theory, that sounds great. The reality is that you now have a complete stranger deciding what is right or wrong for you, your spouse and your children.
Well, being accused of being one just might get you into hell faster than a divorce.
That covers about 99.9% of all living, breathing males who are still happily married.
I have been divorced, but agree with the writer... divorce is a sin that harms us all. However, I'm the one who has been sinned against.
I would be insulted by the tone of the article, but it sounds like most of my mother's side of the family. Count me in for the conservative sinners club :/
No, it won't.
(Dammit...jinxed myself!)
The good news, there is internet access in Hell and there are no passwords on the porn sites.
The bad news is that it's all dialup, only 14.4K and the ISP has only 2 modems.
Enjoy your stay.
;)
Shalom.
There's a Sam Kennison routine in there somewhere.
And this is different from any other court of law how, precisely?
"I'm making up a Divorcees in Hell ping list; want on?"
Yes, sign me up. I'll bring the wine.
Gosh, we just might be heading for majority faction in the GOP!

The men who are still happily married don't dwell on the thought, entertain it, nurture it and then act on it.
Isn't it amazing how quickly people make excuses when it's their behavior under question.
LOL.
I'm in a band also. Maybe we can get the gig to open the show (then we can be backstage where the real fun is).
What's even more amazing is the people who show up to cast the first stone.
Kind of like you.
Church should be about "us" sinners but it is too often about "them" sinners.
I ran a Sunday school class for a while. I had one hard rule. You couldn't talk about what "they" did. You could talk about what "we" do all you wanted to. Visitors didn't stay very often.
Shalom.

Having a thought is an impulse. Dwelling on it is a behavior. There's a difference. Recognize it.
Because in no fault, you do not have to show cause. Without that, the judge decides if he or she thinks your marriage should be dissolved. That is not a decision that should be made by a complete stranger.
Good for you.
I was only married 4 years, and thankfully there were no children involved, at least on my part.....he had 3 from a previous marriage.
Smartest thing I ever did.
