Adultery as defined by the Old Testament is sleeping with another man's wife. Women are possessions (property) in the Old Testament. So are you saying it is okay if I marry another woman in addition to my wife? Also you are conveniently not answering my other questions.

Quoting the bible only proves my point. Marriage was set up by religion. You have not shown that anything in Genesis 2 is historical. Second, by making a distinction between polygamy and open marriage you are saying that it is perfectly fine for a man to cheat on his wife by marrying another wife. Would this be the same God being worshiped that established one man and one woman from Genesis 2? If open marriage is a sin then why did the God of Genesis 2 decide that polygamy is not a sin? Is it possible that your God is a misogynist? Then later did that same God decide he made a mistake and change his mind by the time the New Testament came along?
So your choices are there is more than one god represented in the bible. In which case, which god said what? Or the bible's God can't make up his mind. In which case, is your no longer perfect? Or is the bible just the creation of several Mideastern men and thus just the work of a religion?
Not looking to debate you on this, (especially in a thread about a man that I wish to expose as the lying and cheating jerk that he is) but if you were honest at all, you can see how flawed your position is by using the bible. Marriage is a construct of religion and is not unique to modern Jewish and Christian faiths. Now if you would like to argue that ALL religions are equally inspired by God, then feel free to make that case.

Do you see polygamy, as it was practiced by Israel in the Old Testament, as being an “open marriage”?
Well it sure isn't a closed marriage, now is it? As for quoting the bible, thanks for proving my point.

Scripturally, neither the husband nor the wife has the power or right to make theirs an “open marriage”. Scripturally, God created marriage, and he didn’t offer an “open marriage” option. Either marriage mate can forgive the other’s adultery and stay with that mate, but no human has the power to make adultery “not a sin”.
I'm going to disagree with you. The religions created marriage not God. Ancient Israel practiced polygamy for centuries along with any number of other civilizations. Sin is defined as a transgression against divine law, but the problem is nobody has ever been able to spell out what is and what isn't a divine law. If a couple together decide they are okay with an open marriage, then it is between them. It is not the business of any church to decide. That said, the honorable thing to do if either partner decide an open marriage isn't for them is end the marriage or remain faithful.
As for Lloyd in addition to betraying Dijana, he decided his infidelity should include using an industry that is known for trafficking women and minors. That is far more disgusting than simply being unfaithful. What makes this decision even worse is his pretending to be an advocate for the sexually abused. The man simply has no honor.

Looking at my local KH, the parking lot had about 25% of what it would have had 3 years ago. There is almost no youth going there. If Watchtower closes it, the next closest one is 18 miles away.

Unless the JW guy is PIMO... sometimes that kind of guy is looking for an excuse to get out fully.

You can have an appeal, but has anyone ever heard of an appeal being upheld?
Only one time have I ever heard of an appeal working.

Atheist churches do exist. Not sure what purpose they would serve as there is only so many times one can say, "God does not exist." They could go over morals, ethics, and human decency. Maybe they sing a song or two. Lloyd Evans is not likely being motivated enough to start that type of venture and he lacks morals, ethics and human decency.

There was also the problem of his wife and he likely was also looking for a place to deposit her and the girls on the mainland whilst he had sex holidays at his island retreat.
This sounds like a budget version of what Jeffrey Epstein did. When you put it this way, Lloyd Evans is more of a creep than I was giving him credit for being.
