Why would that be weird for? To the world Apostolics are weird to begin with ... even the Pentecostals they consider weird too.

Foreign to the scriptures. Taking scriptures too far. We are supposed to be people who love his word. People who came from men and women who hungrily searched the word for truth of God's word...and since then we come up with all sorts of dos and don'ts we have to do now

I'd rather be weird to the world because they see Christ in me, not because they see our man made standards

Well, to some it is ... there's a church not too far from my house in Gaskin, Florida who adheres to the old teachings of women not shaving their legs, women not wearing their hair in any type of curls, either haves to be in a bun or down. They believe the world is flat instead of round ... I've heard some say that they don't believe in wearing deodrant, but I'm not able to comfirm that because everytime I've visited their church or been around them they don't smell or anything of that nature.

As for as robes go ... I won't fellowship a preacher who wears anything like that, or a clerical collar. We're not Catholic, or Episcopalian, Orthodox, Luthern or anything of those ... I believe a preacher should wear a solid white dress shirt, a full suit, and tie.

Scarves are just considered a "cloth necklace" and I don't believe should be worn.

Cloak-a loose outer garment ... people shouldn't wear clothes that will not be modestly formed to their body in that they are not revealing their nakedness.

Well, my wife better shave her legs. I am glad she has a perm. If women can't wear scarves then we can't wear ties.

I don't see nothing wrong with robes. I kinda wish I one for times I preach in churches that it is their culture to wear one.

Huh? Who says you have to be a preacher or catholic, or anything else to wear a robe? Do you wear PJs? How about a long rain coat?

No scarves are worn on the head of ladies to keep their hair from blowing all over the place. Besides, its' not gold, how can it be wrong?

A cloak is an OUTER garment, like a jacket..lol

Well, I do believe Paul mentioned in his discourse on standards in I Timothy chapter 2 something to the effect of platting of the hair, gold or pearls etc. women shouldn't wear anything in their hair like feathers, chop sticks, any type of gold ornament, etc.

When you made mentions of robes I immediately thought of clerical robes etc. Not bath robes or anything of that nature ... Honestly I don't reckon I even own a rain coat. Or any type of long over coat.

Man I am messed up again. We just got my wife some new chop sticks for her hair and some of those feather thingy stuff. I kinda like them. None of her stuff has gold on it that goes in her hair.

I'm still trying to figure out if this is for real...

It's evident that Apostolics are very "hard" on woman when it comes to standards and seem to leave out the men so to speak ...


I think men should refrain from wearing patten-leather shoes, colored socks, any kind of large square toed "Italian" look shoes, about the only acceptions is plain black wing-tips or a Florshiem shoe that is not flashy. They should wear their hair combed neatly. No hair touching their collar. No tight pants or jeans. No kind of muscle shirt. Should only wear white dress shirts to the House of God. Things of these sort ...
