What is really the point of this? There are rude people everywhere. It's sad.

Oh I may as well take it another step further.
Is it the Jean you're not a fan of, or the skirt?
Since many of my friends who are not of my Pentecostal persuasion love thier jeans and wear them as much as possible.



Arph,
what do you mean by the dividing of the garment?

they divided Christs garments.

Re: Denim skirts out of blue jeans at UPC seminar

I guess my point is, and apologize for my offensivness, My point is we demand dresses only to show our separation and our holiness.

Yes, Mrs. LPW It's the jeans skirt i am not a fan of.

I have no problem with skirts in general, I just see jean skirts as a "not quite up to par witness"

OK you can shoot me now.

Cindy's right. There are rude people everywhere.

Do you even realize how many dowdy looking women there are wearing pants out there? My word man... wake up. There are dowdy looking people in the Weslyan church down the street from ours. There are dowdy looking people in my church, and there are men who look just as dowdy as women.
I look dowdy right now with my hair down around my face.

Get over it. Whether a person is fashionable or not is unimportant.

That said, there are people in my church who are not dowdy, do not wear jean skirts continually and do not wear tennis shoes and bobby socks with their skirts.

I personally don't care how fashionable someone is. I care if they are clean and sensible and Christ-like. You can wear a dress down to your ankles in the shower and still have a nasty attitude. You can look like you've just walked off the pages of People Magazine and still have a nasty attitude.

So again I ask, is it the jean you're not a fan of, or the skirt itself?

So would a pair of jeans also be "not quite up to par"?

Re: Denim skirts out of blue jeans at UPC seminar

According the "official" interpretion of Duet 22:5 Denim was a material made a designed for men that worked in harsh conditions. The material held well. Denim is definetly a material that "pertains to men"

But yet in our churches it's like a ladies uniform.

It's the inconsistency of our standards that irks me, on the issues of what a woman can wear.

Doesn't the Word say, "By their blue skirts you will know them"?
Time to repost a picture of the first female apostolic astronaut:

Asked and answered mamm, I could care less weather you wear slacks or dress or skirts......I ME it's just ME that i can't stand the jean skirt bobby sox and sneakers look that I see as I walk thru WalMart.

and most of these women at WalMart are not "our folks". We have a Bible Missionary College" here and those folks are more screwed up than us on standards issues
