Re: Modesty as described by the General Youth Divi
The few scriptures we have on modesty... sometimes we should teach precepts rather than drawing lines.
Can there be modesty without moderation? And I'm not talking about looking homely. I'm repeatedly complimented by the world for how I dress. But I'm laughed at in the church for not looking "good enough". I've been told many, many things that I should do if I want to "get a man" by people in church. Each involves clothes that I feel uncomfortable in. Why should I feel pressured by my friends in church to wear something I feel convicted against?
