If nobody reads your blog, Ms. Schatz, it may be because none of us are as important in other people’s lives as we would like to think we are. Your blog is a drop in the ocean of theological blogs out there.

With that being said, I do agree with your insights. Most (if not all) pastors haven’t got a clue as to how to deal with severe patterns of sin in marriages. The whole focus of church discipline as the answer to all ills is just a joke …. with a husband who isn’t a member of the church, that church can’t do sh*t to him. He’s not under their jurisdiction.

BTW, marital unfaithfulness (Cf. Matt. 19) is one of the few grounds for divorce … I would think that “group sex” pressure would easily fit into that category.

Why do reasonable Christian people even waste their time analyzing obvious sins like this …. of course, a woman doesn’t have to submit to this type of abuse.
