That’s an understatement.

He has never been married before. He is now married to Kasey Embrey.(sp?) Congrats to the new couple. (On a side note since this divorce discussion needs a closing [LOL]: Your marriage is between you and God. Just look at Scripture and follow what it says and the rest is none of our business. But like Quartet-man said: We cannot simply lie down and ignore what is going on around us under the veil of "thou shalt not judge.") p.s.s. Someone mentioned Biblical grounds for divorce: The only one I can find is "fornication." Fornication cannot happen between married people - that's called "adultery." So...is there really Biblical grounds for divorce? And what happens if divorce and then repent, and divorce again, and then repent....? Like I said, if you steal horse, and then repent, you return the horse. Sorry folks, just telling it like it is.

That letter made me very angry--first, because I signed up to receive news from Naomi & the Segos, not from former members; second, because it seems that his intention was to hurt her. No matter what he claims his motives were, he's not stupid and he had to know exactly how it would look. If Naomi weren't such a kind-hearted lady, she'd probably smack that hateful little wretch! #193...I spoke to Scott at NQC last year, and when he said he was getting married soon, I just asked him about it. Yes, he was engaged before. Thankfully for all concerned, they realized it was not the right match. Better to discover that before the wedding, right? I wish I had! #192…I agree with you completely!

I think he made a BIG mistake by letting that letter go out. He claims he was trying to protect Ms. Naomi but what he did was hurt her. He had no right to tell anyone about personal issues that is going on with Ms. Namoi. If she wanted the public know she would have put out a PR and signed her name to it. I think Kasey has hurt himself in the gospel industry. If I was Ms. Namoi I would not let Kasey have anything to do with her ministry. Ms. Naomi needs to have someone to get her mailing list out of the hands of Kasey. Shame on you. I read the letter from Kasey. I think he made a BIG mistake by letting that letter go out.

I want to know mercy, so I'm going to show mercy; help me do unto others as You have done unto me; Lord, have mercy!"
