I pray to God my wife does not see that one! That has always been her biggest beef with the church. Well said though.

Well duh! But governed mostly by men in the church. And if they don't think their holiness boys were doing unholy things with girls they are blind. Yes the ladies have to live with it, and that is the sad part the judging by the dress code, the boys had no such thing usually. Although I do give honor to my former pastor that taught against tight pants on boys as much as he did girls dresses. And that was back in the 50's and 60's. Do you think that always went over well with the boys?

DJ, this has also been my observation. While I am not sure I can say they "had the most" it is apparant the hardline positions did not foster any special insulation, and that seems to be the point.

You may be right Stephen, but neither did the soft line. Teenagers of any group have a hard time resisting temptation. And DJ only pointed out the girl's dress as a point. Who do you think the boys were that were in that group or any group. Modestly dressed or not they all faced the same problems.
