There is a church across town that held a marriage seminar. They displayed undergarments that were NOT permissible to wear. I wonder who bought them and what did they do with them? Garage sale?

They probably belonged to the pastor's wife. Those people are always the most 'holy' until it comes to stuff like that....LOL!

Yes, there are those who say women cannot wear PJ's to bed. Extreme? Absolutely. I have even heard it preached from the pulpit about men's undergarments. Some (briefs) were condemned because they are... well... brief. (And "pertains" to womens under garments). Mens sleevless T-shirts were "wrong" because the "straps" looked like... well... you know, an article of womens under garments. And V- neck T-shirts were a no-no for the same reason women could not wear "low cut" dresses. Any thing exposed below the collar bone was wrong. Oh, and "button-up" blouses were out... looked like a mans garments. Extreme? Absolutely. And riduculous, IMO
Issues, I tell you. Issues.
Seriously though, any pastor who gets involved in this kind of thing and tries to exercise control has a major problem.
In my opinion.

Perhaps we should all go around nude. That would certainly allow for distinction amongst the sexes.

It just illustrates the ridiculous nature of the point--if everything is about gender distinction, and modesty isn't part of that equation, well--that can be arranged.

I know right. My oldest daughter dated a young man that had beautiful thick, long hair......... He was the envy of a lot of girls I think.
