Modesty is in the eye of the beholder, and unless we are one of those lovely berka babes we are not truly modest....or maybe Amish! But even the amish have some of themselves exposed....sorry Mark there is nothing or no one but God that will ever make me live in bondage again!!!

Or how about the meaning of modest?

• 1 a: placing a moderate estimate on one's abilities or worth
• b: neither bold nor self-assertive : tending toward diffidence
• 2: arising from or characteristic of a modest nature
• 3: observing the proprieties of dress and behavior: decent

btw...the word modest comes from the Latin word modestus which means: moderate...avoiding extremes of behavior or expression.

Nothing has changed for me. I still dress modest according to my culture around me. Even on the golf course!

Preach it sista!

Bondage? Is that what they're calling it now? Interesting.

Yes, 1 1/2 carat is obscene! Sell it and give to the poor (me).

You can mail me a cashier's check!

I was taught that in order to be pleasing to God, I had to live this certain way. After much study, I've come to realize otherwise. Looking back, what I thought was from God was really just me fitting in to my peer group. Peer pressure is a powerful thing.

Its not always a peer group that gives those convictions!!! Some people actually have convictions that are God given... are you discounting that??? Oh yea I forgot... we are in the non apostolic part of the forum right now!

There have been decades of mocking from the pulpit to what avail?

So there you have it....

His wife also commented.

If I get to heaven and this hair mess was not an issue you boys in the UPCi will have to answer to me and many other woman in our movement...

I've also heard this exact sentiment expressed before.

"I'd better not get to heaven and find out this was unnecessary (as she flopped her high-top bun around) ... or someone is going to PAY!"

This comment made by a lady UPC preacher.

Now I ask you, folks.... be honest. CONVICTION or PEER PRESSURE???
