Re: Apostolic girls and sports

I raised 3 girls to knock the teeth out of any one who tried to harm them.

I never allowed them to play in sports because of the type of clothing used in a mixed company of onlookers (this excludes PE which girls and boys were separated).

I always felt there was no difference in location if it is wrong it is wrong.

I have not found a president for some forms of clothing being wrong if they are modest and non revealing.

I remember culots (sp) being preached against as being sinful when the man preaching the message; his own daughter wore them and he never knew it because she wore a 'pleat' in the front and back.

I stay away from the clothesline and allow God to do the convicting.

When I was 21 I was teaching a group of kids at the Harlow's Children's Ranch in Nocona, Texas and I read the passage

Deuteronomy 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God."

Which verse falls within verses that refer to being kind to animals. This verse has no context to draw from in this case.

All at once the girls raised their hands and asked, it that's so, why does your aunt wear pants?

Nothing was even in the conversation about pants or clothing. It was listing several verses that were out of an actual context, yet these teenage, non Christian girls, knew that men's clothing was different than women's.

I leave it to personal conviction.
