It doesn't make sense. Now this is an extreme situation, but I have seen it. Just let a women or man sit in a conservative congregation without changing anything....you will start to see one of two things. First the preacher preaching at them or the saints starting bible studies with them basically to teach them the ways of dress codes. I have seen it all too many times.

Sadly, I have to admit that I've seen it as well, but I'm happy to know that this way of doing things is going by the wayside. I now know lots of pastors who will not allow the saints to do the informing to the new converts. I think it's wrong, and it's not their job. God doesn't need our help, right?
The biggest issue I'm dealing with at the moment is pastors and saints who 'teach' people who to speak in tongues. This happened again on Sunday morning.
