Who decides these things? It seems we always arrive at a complete abstinence as opposed to a more reasoned application of common sense.

In my estimation modesty is absent at many of our church services and conferences. We must stay in the finest hotels, wear the most up to date name brands, and carry the newest gadgets available (cell phones, blackberries). Not to mention an immodest, vain spirit.
Excellent!
