But the "look", identity or Truth wasn't compromised.

Reminds me of a classic story AtlantaBishop shared a couple of years ago about his son going to an org camp and saw an unwed young lady/mother who fit the mold:

She had a baby in her arms and said - Aaron, Did you know I had a baby?

He said - I didn't even know you got married!!!!!

She looked him in the eyes and said - I didn't get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He said - you mean you had a baby and you are not married?????????

She said BOLDLY - "I may have had some problems - BUT I NEVER CUT MY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!"

He said quietly - "Well, maybe you should have cut your hair!"
He came to me and said - "Dad, Is that wacky or what?"

Atlanta Bishop had another story about kids getting in trouble for having a sport team logo on a ball cap but not for smoking pot because pot was not mentioned in the written rules but the sports logo was.

No different then the adulterous pastor and the hooker in the hotel room, who puts a towel over the television.

Now I have a hard time believing that, unless there were some important details left out.

In fairness, not all distinction-obsessed churches or church members reflect such distorted priorities.

I don't know if it is extreme ... more like a case by case basis.
