Thanks - yes, that's it Berk.

You either dress like his daughters or streewalkers - - no were in the middle of being just modest.

There are a lot of pastors' wives and daughters who fit in with culture pretty well. I'm always amazed at the number of women with obviously trimmed/layered hair, who wear light makeup, and I know their husbands and fathers preach against both.

Are they blind? Or do they have a double standard for their families? Do they look at their own pictures from conferences and think, how is it that those other women look kind of frumpy, but my daughter looks like Angelina Jolie?

She ever used this one? Kids need all the help they can get, in driving safety.

ya uh nope never has.

besides telling kids to take their hands off the wheel while driving may cause them to engage the healthcare culture.

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

It is not you being to plain. Large gathering of UPC'ers have always been about the fashions (and who can get the most intricate hair style among the ladies of the evening, errrrr, I mean the ladies in attendance).

I think it's from NCIS.

It is usually a very insecure person that will try to dress like a hooker. You see this more in teenagers and young adults that haven't grown up yet. Most people I know that are "of the world" will not bare their midriff or wear mini skirts and I think it is because of the age group I am in (late 20's).

It all boils down to how much you value yourself as a person, and how you want yourself presented to the world. 90% of the women I know are aware of this and dress accordingly.

When it comes to listening to things like Britney Spears or Lady Gaga, who really listens to that stuff besides children or gay men?
