Not trying to defend her but.....
If one finds redemption AFTER their sin... How would that be hypocritical?
I mean to say, she's a lot of things but calling her a hypocrite doesn't seem to fit. Now if she proclaimed to be holier than thou and THEN did all those terrible things the title of hypocrite would fit.

It really doesn't matter if her adultery and multiple marriages occurred before or after she became a Christian. The Bible is pretty clear on the subject of marriage, adultery, and divorce. Only her first marriage is sanctified by God. All further marriages are adulterous. Furthermore, the only exception for divorce allowed by the Bible is for adultery. Her first husband is within his rights to divorce her and remarry without becoming an adulterer himself. However, since she committed adultery against him, she is not free to dissolve the marriage, nor is she free to remarry if her first husband will not have her back. If we really want to get down with that Old Time religion, her first husband is within his rights to stone her to death, but I digress.
Now, what about the argument that her divorces occurred before she became a Christian? (I don't actually know that this is the case, I have yet to see anything that clarifies that her marriage hopping occurred before she became an Apostolic Christian). Doesn't matter. This is particularly true of the Apostolic sect that she claims to belong to. Different denominations differ on what true "repentance" is. Apostolics take a very literal interpretation of repentance. Repentance is twofold. The sinner must acknowledge the sin and ask for forgiveness, but just as importantly, true repentance must also be accompanied by action to change the behavior. In her case, repentance and forgiveness can only be achieved by divorcing her current husband, since the marriage is adulterous. Then her only choices are to either remain celibate for life, or return to her first and only true husband, if he will have her back. Faith without works is dead, and as long as she remains in an adulterous marriage, she remains an unrepentant sinner, and according to her own faith, God will turn his back on her and refuse to hear her.
So much for her claim to believe in the moral code taught by the Bible. Jesus never even mentioned homosexuality, but he sure did talk extensively about divorce and adultery.
On a sidenote I can't help but observe that I am honestly shocked and amazed that she is capable of marrying and divorcing so many times, or capable of committing adultery while married. Are these men blind or mentally deficient or something? Did she hit them over the head with a hammer, drug them, or use hypnosis? Holy Good God this woman makes Hillary look hot.
You would think Christians would get tired of being schooled by atheists, yet they never seem to. My work here is done.
