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.......
No need to go looking for trouble, 'cause trouble can sure find you in a heartbeat!
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.
Your right in that it isn't any fun for those who are trapped in such a situation and feel their salvation is contingent upon the whim of a tyrant but for those who are not so bound, it is a whole nudder story. And no, I wouldn't really seek out such a place as tempting as it is, and the last time we were in that situation we walked out that morning and never returned. No harm done, except to the rest of the congregation who didn't feel the liberty to leave.
Well, I probably have more Hawaiian shirts than most guys here combined. I'm not "hippie-influenced" nor do I opening support homosexuality, but I do like Tom Selleck, so I guess that makes me stuck in the 80's. Safety Dance anyone?
Speakin of the 80's(& I do miss a lot in the 80's, watched magnum pi about a thousand times myself) have u seen the late Nike parkinson disease fund raiser/ Back to the Future boot auction? 1500 pairs going for $ 4-5,000.00+ so far...?

How about an opinion from another female!
To me, REAL men know and serve GOD. They love their wife and children. They provide for their family, both spiritually and materially.They have a daily walk with GOD. They have peace with God and man. They obey the laws of the land.
My late father worked on a public job all day, came home, spent an hour or so in their bedroom, getting rid of the "trash" from the day, appearing with red rimmed eyes and tear stained face. After supper, we children were called into the den to get our "spiritual" training. Family alter was a very important time for our family. My REAL MAN hero was my late Daddy! I chose my spouse because the first time I met him, he reminded me of my Dad!
To me, it's more about the LIVING than what color clothes a MAN wears!
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...
Falla, your father sounds like he was a very spiritual man. I must confess - I certainly don't spend that much time and devotion in prayer.

While I see the value in it now, I have to admit that growing up as a teen we attended SO many church services and agonizing hour after hour of song services and alter calls that to spend any MORE time doing "church" stuff at home (when you weren't made too!) just seemed ludicrous.
That, and I am not one to show my feelings to people face to face, so if the rest of family did anything like this I was busy hiding in my room learning to program my computer in BASIC, which I have to admit has been paying off for me even 30 years later!
