Double standard?

I will say that knee shorts are gaining acceptance within the movement. Make-up and "purpose" jewelry is as well.

It's all "purpose" jewelry.

Some little emotional feely goody thing can be found to attach to anything one would want to attach it to.

Yep, my belly-button ring was handed down from generations past.

Thanks for thinking I'm a smart cookie, but I'm not that smart.

Oh you're a smart cookie, I think you'll figure it out. In post # 129 you highlighted what I said about revealing to many personal facts about yourself on an open forum, so I gave you Just a little hint.

I just don't have enough time to spell... it.... all.... out. "sorry"

They are now teens and still don't eat or drink in church......

There are lots of things I did as a child that I don't do as an adult.

Even the Bible says 'when I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child......but when I became a man (adult), I put away childish things'.

I used to wear cute underpants (not underwear, but kinda like bloomers) under my dresses when I was a little girl. There came a time when those were no longer appropriate for me to wear and my mother stopped putting them on me.

While I understand why you said what you said, I have never agreed with anyone who says that. I've heard people tell me that about my own children and they've been proven wrong everytime.

makes sense to me, that's the route I'm going with my kids.

People have told me that I'm raising confused children by allowing my daughter to wear pants everywhere but church, but I've been consistent in my teaching her that she wears skirts to church, regardless what she wears elsewhere.

She's almost 14 and I have never had to tell her to change her clothes before church for dressing inappropriately. She knows why I have raised her this way, and she's not confused.

Why would pants be wrong in church?

Nope, I meant below the knee. two inches below the knee on my wife is still two high.

I'm curious of your thoughts on this. Is it inconsistent to say it's ok for a girl to have skirts below her knees but a boy can't with shorts?
