Wink Re: Real men

FWIW, my dad had a pink dress shirt in the mid '50's; he wore it to church with a suit and tie, while sporting a mustache.

He wasn't a fashion conscious guy by any means. My mother must have purchased the shirt......which would indicate it was being sold .

As a child I didn't give it a second thought___________until the uproar in the late '60's and early '70's requiring men to wear white shirts only

Re: Real men

I only ever heard of "only wearing white shirts to church" doctrine in the Mennonite church. Never heard or saw that among OPs but I heard others tell of this among ultracon independent churches.

My last pastor would not allow anyone to preach unless he had a white shirt.

Re: Real men

I know missionaries that preach that....white shirts....black (dark) suits...I really feel sorry for people like that....While it is nice to look nice GOD IS NOT concerned with what color you wear...

Re: Real men

I once worked with a pastor who had a real problem with men wearing pink. I would kid with him sometimes such as bringing a glass of water to the platform that was pink. He'd say "Take that back and go get another cup". All before service mind you... I wouldn't disrespect the service with playing around like that.

The church owned a house beside the church property and he and his family were going to move into the house. They painted it... pink... in my opinion.

I asked him... Brother... are you going to move into that pink house? He replied... "Mauve... that's mauve. Not pink" LOL...

I spent a number of years in ultracon independent ranks and this was certainly the case. You didn't dare wear anything other than white if you were going to be on the platform.

I would imagine that there are probably more who preach against wearing red than preach that you must wear white.

Man, I keep hearing about these churches but have yet to actually run into one. Do they really exist or should I go check out snopes? I could have soooo much fun at one.......

Yeah... it might not be as much fun as one might think. One of these churches also preached against going bowling. One couple in the family went bowling and the pastor found out. The couple was brought before the whole church and rebuked in front of everyone for their "sin".

I tell ya... been there... done that... and happy to say it is in my past.
