She's upset because they turned down her application for a line of credit at the club shoe.com place.

The "what" is deadeye is doing the whole pendulum swing with his streetwalker comment to Baron when apostolic girls are ordering their shoes from a known dancingclub website (as in Gentlemen's club's). Just goofy.

How is that relevant to deadeye? He doesn't know these apostolic girls. and, is that REALLY a club site? It was done in very well done!

And I am still wondering why he continues to reference dressing his daughters up like streetwalkers...is this something that should be reported?

AND... I think it's pretty extreme. I'd never reference somebody that I loved as a streetwalker. But, his point is that if we are to assimilate into culture, are we to accept all culture. Or, it's more of a question that he nor I know how to ask.

Deadeye trots out this example every time he perceives someone is attacking dress standards. Or referencing what other pastor's wives are dressed like.

And you aren't going to like this at all, but I've heard comments from non-apostolics saying that some of our girls look like street walkers (what a term).

Matter of fact, I learned something a couple weeks ago that surprised me. There are UPC girls that order their outrageous shoes online from a stripper site. HUH???? They showed me the site and I was in shock. They saw absolutely nothing wrong with it.

So, put those shoes on with a long tight skirt and long curly flowing hair.....maybe the world doesn't see the difference.
we had a youth rallie last month, and it was more of a fashion show, i felt so under dress in kakhi pants, my wife had a blue jean skirt, we were relaxed some what on a friday,

the dresses were nice, to nice infact, it boarderd the im showing off, look at me type dresses. some of the men were the same way. Last time i seen a white suite was when i saw benny hen on T.V in one.

so i think some of are church culture has gotten out of hand. or mayber it is just me being to plain.

It's a culture that does not know the real meaning of modesty.
