Well, you will not be wearing you cranial adornment very long. We are told that all of us will be propelling them to His feet with vigor. That means that we are going to be going around in the white apparel. I wonder what that will look like?
That will be just fine too.
Who will care what all the white apparel will look like? Not me. I will be happy just to get to put it on and be close to Yeshua.
It's got to be better than what we wear now and everybody will be beautiful up there in Heaven. I would like to imagine that our white robe (for females anyways..) would be shimmering, dazzling and so beautiful and comfortable that it will outshine any attire man can produce down here on earth.
P.S. You can correct me if'n you wanna. I's sometimes gets all caught up in what I'ma tryin to says so that alls can understands my points bein made.

Well...I hate to say this but...we have toooooooooooooooo many Pentecostal Barbie´s in our pews...we need some Deborah´s, Huldah´s and some ladies that know about what God wants....too many trying to outdress the other...too many fancy shoes and purses and not enough tears for our lost world...
Now I shall go hide in the jungle...ha...

Perhaps you are correct in this line of thinking. I was told it was what God expects out of us once we are saved. I was told it was in the word. Of course, they showed me only the parts they say pertained to support their teachings. The overused 1 Corinthians 11 and Deuterotomy 22:5. I truly wanted to please God and become part of the group at the same time. I had nobody within 300 miles and was told that "sometimes the church family can be closer to you than your own family". The burden lifted was that I had a line drawn as to what type of behavior was acceptable to God and that living willy-nilly was not acceptable.
However, as I proceeded years into legalism, the sheer horror of the legalistic rules began to strangle and quench the Spirit within me. I found that while I could please one person, then another would find something else I needed "to work on". All I wanted in the beginning was to start living my life to please God and be accepted by other human beings. I wanted to do everything *right*.
Now years later, I finally understand that it is the Holy Ghost (comforter) who leads and guides us into all things of God, not man's rules.
Ironic, my fear of being ostracized came true, but God saw to it that there were people there to help me through the transition of getting free from legalism. Some were ex-UPC ministers, some were counselors...others just became close friends.
Ever hear the old saying that whenever a door closes, God opens a window?
Reminds of a story Wendy Bagwell told about going to sing at a snake-handling Jesus' name church in Appalachia. He looked at his wife and asked her if she saw a door. When she replied in the negative he asked, "Ya reckon you know where they WANT one?!"
Sometimes leaving means getting out by any means possible once you realize that someone could get hurt.
