Sadly, a group of hipster Christians gathered in a house church is often more modest than the women of the UPCI even though most girls are wearing pants, have styled hair, and some jewelry. For example, here's a book cover featuring Hipster Christians. Most are more modest than what I saw at church last, with the exception of two. Two ladies are on the borderline of what I'd call modest....

A UPC church I once attended briefly was very vocal about its standards. The pastor and pastor's wife regularly had ladies meetings where they would talk about the "spirit of Jezebel" and list the things they were against. Pants, low necklines, makeup, cutting/trimming hair.

Yet, their two daughters wore tight, and I mean tight, skirts and dresses and what they joked about as "hooker heels."

The modestly dressed lady who trimmed her hair or wore covergirl was going to hell, but their two immodestly dressed daughters were saints. And woe be to anyone who dared to question their clothing.

All you money grubbing apostolic ministers, naturally. What you ought to do is wear flip flops, cargo shorts, and wife beater shirts (keep the bbq stains, gives it character) in the pulpit. Then you'll be more "relevant".

Bro. Aquila,
Your definition of a choker is different than us women. There used to be choker necklaces that were at the neckline - never hanging loose or long. I thought that is what you meant until you mentioned the scarf. Maybe some others are thinking the same. Thank you for explaining yourself.

Yep. I've had two pastors whose wives wore chokers. Some sisters will take a small scarf and essentially tie it around their neck. However some fold these in such a way that the width and effect is essentially "choker like" and the knot is smaller, and further back to the side. A "Pentecostal choker" if you will.

When it comes to chokers and leopard print, my wife only wore them in private.

It was back in 1978. What were you doing in 1978? Call a cop in the parking lot of a night club? No Iphones. It was customarily done like this, "Police! Police! Police!"

Or do the impression of Superman looking for a phone booth. But you sound like you couldn't punch your way out of a paper bag, all bravado and Internet Machismo. All nicely tucked away behind a flat screen telling everyone how you would of had your webslingers going at full speed, as you threw your red, white, and blue shield at your opponent. You must of been a little Hulkster, saying your prayers over your Wheaties. hoping one day you would be like the man on the box. Olympian Bruce Jenner!

No, his morality had nothing to do with any of it. You really live your life based on your assumptions. You haven't the foggiest idea why my friend did what he did. You assume he did it through nobility, or wanting to be a hero? I was the one who said to him "mockingly" that a hero was just a sandwich. I knew the territory we were in, I knew the people who were at that club. He thought if he swooped in he would walk off with what remained of the girl. A little less Hollywood, and television would help clear your head of fantasy.

Call the police, run and help the fair damsel? I would take care of the situation way differently now, but you couldn't see that. All you could see was an opportunity to get some payback on old Brother B. Aquila, when someone gets a paper cut they better not be swimming near you.

Guess what? She would of cleaned your clock. When she was swinging with that high heel, she knew what she was doing. That wasn't the first time she ever handled a shoe as a weapon. She would of been all over you like fire ants on a sleeping man. Hey, these people were getting full body tattoos before tattoos were even cool.

No, if he would of continued like me he would of got to his bike. Went home and then work the next morning. Instead of emergency room and stitches.
The bouncers didn't move a muscle either. I guess those two lunatics were regulars? But I really wish you could of been there. I was always one to allow the fool hearty an opportunity to shine. She would of kept you busy long enough for her boyfriend to regain consciousness. Then they both would of put the boots to you. Maybe even threw you into the trunk of their car. Drove you back to their place and fed you to their pit bulls. Like I have said so many times a flatscreen can take the Pee Wee Hermans, the regular John Q Public and turn them into the Incredible Hulk 50 times over.

Good grief.

You're weird.

This speaks nothing of style or design. It speaks of intended use. A man isn't to wear any clothing that was intended for a woman, neither a woman anything that was intended for a man.

Therefore, it would be improper for a man to wear a pair of ladies Jordache jeans or even a T-shirt intended for women. Likewise, it would be improper for a woman to wear a traditional kilt or tartan socks and garters.

Iggy Pop, someone who hasn't a clue about book, chapter, and verse, knows more than you.
