Well, I hope so. I asked the Lord if there was something I could say to help her and He said, "I am developing a relationship with her. Let her find her own way."

So, I'm good with that.

now that sounds like spiritual maturity, i guess this whole thing when i read it, just touched off the right button, i am so glad you are reaching to her, that will be good, i hate to think that when all the youth girls that visit our church come in with pants on, that the preacher would pick on them, i might have to take him to the woodshed myself, dt, i am proud of you for studying, do that myself, god bless you,

It was very obvious that she was singled out and the stares she got were horrible. Needless to say, I went home and cried and cried. She told my mother, "I will never go back to that church again"....Sometimes I wonder how much blood will be on people's hands who did not use wisdom. It's not all about Acts 2:38 and a dress code. It's about love and wisdom and doing the will of Jesus Christ, too.

Some people just don't know better. It's just that "simple". ('scuse the pun

)

These kind of people will always be around.

I was so shocked I couldn't even cry. So, shocked I couldn't even get mad.

But, I was determined to settle it in my heart - once and for all and I have.

So, modesty is the issue.

Having said that - honestly - it is going to knock out a lot of pairs of pants and tight skirts!

I like your thread.

None of this study leads me away from the issue of modesty. Tight jeans are immodest. What I do want to do is avoid using a scripture, erroneously, to support a doctrine I want to stand for.

Since living in Texas......here in a True Cowboy area.

There are real Cowboys here; Spurs, knee high boots with the jeans tucked in. Also I notice the jeans are real tight....

Well, I had ridden a horse in my loose fitting wranglers.

After about an hour I understood why Cowboys wear tight fitting jeans.

The same reason a woman wears a sports bra if the runs alot.

Coop, cowboy cut Wranglers are made roomier in the seat and thigh.

I daresay I have logged a few more hours ahorseback than you, and I never liked tight jeans to ride in.
