How can you possibly counsel impartially with this sort of worldview?
Don't start on me Pastor Poster...stick to the issues. My ability to counsel isn't your concern nor the subject at hand. People with less than nothing to say often resort to personal attacks.
Well, maybe you are knocking on the door to the barn mistaking it for the house...
What I am questioning is the motive and intent of an individual who is making an attempt to BE separate from the mainstream, so they make an attempt to LOOK separate from the mainstream. This in my mind is shallow separation, because it is based on outward and fleshly ability. I am also questioning the contemporary message of Separation from the world that used to be preached under the heading of holiness standards.
Only the old school preachers even use that terminology anymore because the contemporary belief is that NO, you cannot do anything to be more HOLY in the eyes of the Lord. I can't remember the last time I heard the term Holiness Standards come out of the mouth of a preacher, but I hear separation from the world, constantly. I am just calling for folks to be honest with themselves even if it challenges their cultural foundations.
So it seems you disagree with both terminologies. If that is the case what is the grounds for discourse here as opposed to you giving a monologue?

Sis, with all due kindness, when it comes to men, you obviously have more hangups than a telemarketer's luncheon and more issues than The National Geographic.

Personal attacks?
I see how this game works. You set yourself up as spiritually superior to males and then whine when I call your hand?
Report it, I don't care. Your statements had nothing to to with the thread topic. You knew Coon and rrford were on this thread and threw a stinkbomb.

The way one dresses is not intended to send a message? Cmon man, that is what standards are about for the mostpart, identification with a group of people that have the same beliefs. The internal message is that what you wear should be holy because if you do not, then you are decidedly NOT holy. The external message is to communicate to people that we are separate because we dress holy. The church lauds testimony of women who say people stop them on the street to ask them about the message they are sending through their appearance/dress.
I wonder why Jesus didn't look different than other men of His day so people would approach him due to his outward look to ask what message He was sending?
