How Is A Christian Lady Supposed to Dress?

[missmuffet]

 

 

 

You know there is such a thing as nudist camps. 

Sure, and I have never been to one. If they have a church, I would be willing to bet, that naked attendance there would be the exception, if it happens at all. I sure wouldn't want to sit on those pews!

 

I was walking home from school one day.I must have been in second grade.Someone had dropped a nudist camp magazine along the road.My friends and I got a different education that day. 

 

 

I imagine we all got educated in ways our parents would have been appalled over, partly due to not educating us as they should have (which I completely understand their hesitancy to do so... I don't envy parents for this and lots of things I have been spared as a non-parent).

 

Dr. Dobson spoke of "the talk" a lady gave her curious son one day after school who asked, "Mom, what is sex?" She sat him on the sofa and for the next grueling hour explained the mechanics and the heart dynamics of human sexual relations. Then she asked if he had any questions. With a furrowed brow the boy asked "How am I going to fit all that in the box on the field trip permission form?"

 

LOL

 

All she had to do was check "male" and say there are male (boys) and female (girls).

 

I remember how shocked I was and ashamed when my cousin explained to me what my parents did to produce me. Dad was madder than hell fire at him for telling me this (he wanted to tell me). When the time came to have the talk I just closed down I do not recall a word of it or if I even heard him. I was so embarrassed and disgusted with the act and let alone that my parents could do such things. I remember just wanting the discussion to end. So I could forget about it.

 

My mom never did tell me about the birds and the bees.But I found out.I was shocked.I thought....ewwww....my mom and dad do that?gross.

How does a man dress when he is dressing inappropriately? 

 

Checkered Bermuda shorts, no socks, leather half sole house shoes, and a dirty "t" shirt... y' know, like all our Dad's did in the 1960's sporting the Drew Carey haircut and glasses.

 

 

 

Wow!  If I saw THAT guy I'd definitely look the other way.  Ugh! 

 

No,I wouldn't.He might be a great guy.I don't see anything that JohnD mentioned as inappropriate.And what about the person who looks like they are homeless.Tattered clothes and maybe does not smell the best.Why would that person be sitting in church?I wonder how many people would deny that person?

 

 

Alright, you guys. Enough. I was joking about the very ugly attire men wore in the 1970's and thought they were cool / casual...

 

It was a joke.

 

nnn-kay?

 

 

Okay; I thought you were describing someone you knew! 

 

 

What is your take on appropriate Christian women attire? Down there in hot humid Houston...

 

 

Jeans, tee shirts, shorts (mid thigh), tank tops, not low cut.  It's weird here because it may be 95 outside and 65 in the office.  It's hard to dress for it. 

 

 

Thank you. Good response.

 

And by it I imagine you are not trying to attract attention but wear what is simply comfortable.

 

So if guys aren't running into walls when they see you, it's no big deal.

 

And if there is a guy or several who do "check you out" you do not feel soiled by their attention.

 

I get it. And it is the kind of response I was hoping to get (making the point I was driving at).

I would feel like I had been soiled if I wore a top or dress that showed half of my top anatomy.Guys are not looking at you as an individual but as eye candy.

Yepper.

 

And a lot of gals are getting ego boosts from turning heads.

 

It's complicated... yet it must needs be.

 

Without such a strong drive, the human race would have gone extinct long ago.

Why does it need to be?This drive is human nature yes,but it most never be taken a step farther outside a marriage.

This caught my attention:

"JohnD,

I can give you lots and lots of scripture that would make any woman showing anything above the ankle or below the chin out to be a whore.

Really? There are scriptures specifically stating that wearing anything above ankle and below chin makes one a whore. No, I'm really asking as I'm not sure. Can give me examples. Then I must be a whore then .. Gasps.

Tanusha, the status of men and women when held up to the requirements of the Law makes us all out to be vile sinners of the worst kind.

That was the point of the Law.

But in Christ, we appear in God's eyes to have the righteousness of Jesus.

That's the beauty of Grace.

God bless.
