First it isn't mockery on my behalf. Secondly, I believe in the commandments.

The mockery is occuring at the mega church among the "believers". Don't know what it is, but among those who have gone through divorce, mega church singles nite is like "Saints Gone Wild". The saved and recenlty single women are easier than going to a bar. Again, from what I've been told among both secular and saved men.

I know of one pastor at a mega church who discussed this with me and he was ashamed of what was going on, but he was down the pecking order on the from the top minister and he was told basically to be quiet or move on.

What you're saying has been my experience. Chastity is a rare commodity among any adult demographic and church singles groups are no exception.

Abstinence is expected of the unmarried Christian and there's a great deal of difficulty in adhering to that standard once a person has experienced that intimacy.

Refraining from sex seems a particularly daunting challenge for divorced persons who once enjoyed married sex, have been abandoned by their spouses, are without immediate marriage prospects and are left with no sexual outlet.

In my eyes all those who abstain under such circumstances out of a desire to please God are heroic.
