Unlike your sitch our church and pastors do not support my W at all. Infact my W nolonger goes to our church because she feels judge and condemned by all....

Do a 180 on this one, totally agree. Say, "Yes, I believe God told you this, I'm praying for God to tell me as well, I really would like to hear from God so I can have some peace/resolve on this issue. Pray for me, that I would hear from Him."
This is a great response it validates and puts me on her playing field.

I treat it as if I was talking to someone like Eric Rudolph or David Koresch. Can anything I say change their mind? Nope. In their eyes, I'm just not spiritual enough or in tune with God enough or believe enough.
I haven't thought about it this way. I just think she is nutz, this is a better way of defining their mindset. Meaning justifying her actions with her faith which contradicts God's word.

Yes, I do believe her spiritual support system would believe that D is okay.
For my W she has really had to go out on a limb to find any support for her actions. Her support system is a few girl friends(two have been involved in A's and the other is a LBS), her family, and her counselor. She just wants people to love her no matter what choices she is making. Why can't others love her unconditionally? God does..... Again she is so wrapped up in herself that she doesn't realize that a lot of people love her, they also want to help her make good Godly decisions, which she is not by pursueing D. She really is the one pushing everybody away its not the otherway around like she sees it.
