Hey all. Do you all believe it is a sin or wrong to wear clothing from Abercromie and Fitch? What about American Eagle or Ralph Lauren Polo? Tommy Hilfiger?

I dated a girl from a church that the people there could NOT wear any clothing from these places. The preacher even went so far as to say NO underwear (tops or bottoms) from these places. 'It is not holy clothing' or something is what he was saying.

What say ye? Are there any I missed that you are agains?

They have toned it down a bit now, thanks to parents complaining. But their clothes themselves are no more sinful than any other place.

Oh, yes, now I remember something about that. And didn't they support the gays, or is that urban legend?

And he said this because?????????

Apparently his view was that someone would not wear a shirt that says 'Jesus the Christ' then why wear Tommy, Polo, etc. There was a guy from the church that was a good friend of mine and he told me that he would 'never' wear those things with Tommy's name and such, but yet he had a big NIKE Swoosh in the back window of his truck. Go figure

I wouldn't buy my kids clothes from abercrombie & fitch just because I didn't agree with their advertising - they tried their best to be as close to porn as they could get by with. They have toned it down a bit now, thanks to parents complaining. But their clothes themselves are no more sinful than any other place.

It can cause trouble because it could be seen as identifying with that life style. I do wear their clothing from time to time, though not because of the name sake. I think that the sin factor has little to do with their clothing though the do sell something that if I were a girl I would be scared to wear. I do remember on time in Knoxville I believe I went into one the A&F store and one of the female employees was wear one of their swimsuits as her work out fit. It shocked me cause I was not expecting it. That kinda stuff ought to be kept for a private swim, it was a little too revealing.

I am not sure if they supported gay or not, but I would not let that stop me from wearing something from there unless the shirt said, 'I support Gays'. If we band everything that supported something we are against there would not be alot we could support. My wife bought me a shirt the other day from Target or Walmart. Anyone that knows me will testify that I love the term Champion and the slogan 'I am a Champion' and things like that. The shirt she got me was from the band Queen and it says "We are the Champions". I have always heard that is a gay pride song, but I love the slogan so much that I do not let it bother me.

A & F would be a definite no-no for me. But, most of them do not make clothes in "men's" sizes as they only go to XL, basically a non-issue.

Not that I could ever afford it, but Dolce & Gabbana also have extremely "sexy" (obscene, IMO) ads. I certainly will not let my children shop in stores where softcore porn is plastered all over the walls.

I don't think the clothing items are sinful...but obviously the stores are not and do not promote a wholesome atmosphere.

I canīt remember if I have ever bought any of those name brands but I doubt it. Living so far away and a completely different lifestyle I can share very little on this thread.

I think the best thing to do before you go shopping is pray and the Lord will guide you. You folks are very sweet people to be concerned about these things. I bless you in Jesus Name.

I don't mind buying clothes from any of those companies. Some of the ads can show a little bit too much but Victoria's Secret sells descent lingerie. Wal Mart sells skimpy lingerie as well as Target. I guess if you are convicted of buying clothes from certain desginers, that's fine as well.

At this one church I used to go to, we stopped wearing anything with the Nike name or symbol on it because Nike was the name of some god in Greek mythology. I thought it was silly, but I went along with it.

I don't think it is a sin to wear clothing from the designers you mentioned above if they were modest apparel. If they were to dress like some of the models on the billboards then it may be sinful.

With that said, I believe if someone bases whether they purchase clothing or not from a designer strictly on their marketing campaign then they would be hard pressed to buy any clothing. Even some of the "low-end" department stores have "racy" ads sometimes.

I certainly do think that we should be careful in whom be patronize with our money,and certainly Christians should wear modest clothing we don't have to be 20 yrs. out of fashion,but male and female should not dress provactive either.If it ain't for sell don't advertise.

Well, I confess. My pants sinned. They were'nt A&F. They weren't TH. They were about as holy as you can get.They were Walmart specials. But they still sinned. They are sinful clothing. They don't have a "leg" to stand on. They "straddle" the issues. The get me "hem"med in. They have loop holes (for the belt). They "zip" from here to there. Yes... they are sinful clothing.

This is about as silly as it gets. Would it be a sin technically if I bought a A&F shirt at, say, a second hand store? "Holy Clothing"- thats kinda funny. I don't think we need to worry as much about "holy clothes" as we do about keeping whats inside the clothes holy. Unless it would be "holey clothes" Now that could be a problem!

I have not read this entire thread, but here is my two cents! Clothing cannot be holy or unholy. The key is to keep our clothing modest - in covering, and in cost. I can understand not purchasing a product as a protest, if you do not want to support their causes, but that does not make the clothing sinful to wear. I had a pastor who preached against women wearing t shirts with writing on the chest. I honored that as long as I held a position in that church- not that I wear t shirts with writing much. But my guideline is modesty and balance in what I wear.

I believe in modest apparel, but "holy clothing" is akin to "magic hair". Reminds me of the time I drove all the way to Murhreesboro, TN to hear this dynamic, powerful evangelist. He spent his entire message on extolling the evilness of allowing Sears and Roebuck catalogs into our homes. (JC Penny, Spegiel). We are inviting a pornographic spirit into our homes when we allow this ungodly smut into our homes. Wasn't so dynamic and powerful afterall.

Who decides what is, and what is not, modest apparel? I do. For me and me alone. I don't think its my place to try to tell someone else what dressing immorally means. If they really love God, they will decide for themselves what it means to "Follow.... holiness, without which no man shall see God". If they don't love God enough to seek out His Word for guidance, then I don't think how they dress really matters.

We are inviting a pornographic spirit into our homes when we allow this ungodly smut into our homes. Wasn't so dynamic and powerful afterall.

Who decides what is, and what is not, modest apparel? I do. For me and me alone. I don't think its my place to try to tell someone else what dressing immorally means. If they really love God, they will decide for themselves what it means to "Follow.... holiness, without which no man shall see God". If they don't love God enough to seek out His Word for guidance, then I don't think how they dress really matters.

Wasn't there someone from the Urshan family that modeled underwear in one of those catalogues?

He didn't go on to speak about the "scummy pot" and blame all of the churches other ills on disrespecting/not following, the pastor did he? LOL

Nike is not the name of a Greek God. I just watched a special about Nike. It is Greek, but it is Greek for Victory not a Greek God...look it up if needs be.

We've already been down that road. It was the goddess of competition, or something to that effect. I don't worry about it anymore cause I don't go to that church, but we did look it up back then.



Looked it up and found it. Here ya go:

The company takes its name from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.

Some people have an issue with supporting companies like TH because he is gay or bisexual. Can't remember which at this point. It's kinda like the Disney boycott.

Nordic is from the root word for an ancient greek god of physical fitness. Believe me? You shouldn't cause it is made up kinda like alot of what is taught in our churches.:bliss

The fancy, cool, well advertised brands tend to be more costly but otherwise the only question is the modesty factor.

As in all other purchases, use good sense. Cost,style, fit, emblems...no scripture
If you feel it's wrong, then for you it is....


I like some of the popular designers, but always shop "clearance" !!!

Hey all. Do you all believe it is a sin or wrong to wear clothing from Abercromie and Fitch? What about American Eagle or Ralph Lauren Polo? Tommy Hilfiger?

I dated a girl from a church that the people there could NOT wear any clothing from these places. The preacher even went so far as to say NO underwear (tops or bottoms) from these places. 'It is not holy clothing' or something is what he was saying.

What say ye? Are there any I missed that you are agains?

I am against clothing completely! It's all been corrupted! Designed by homosexuals, and patterned after the evil hollywood fashions!

I propose we give up clothing alltogether, and go back to the pure and natural state, as were Adam and Eve in the Garden! :tic

My dear hartmann, I currently have more "life" than I can keep up with. LOL!!!! My computer time is my little break!

The chaotic Phillips' household now includes: 1 Grandma, 2 frazzled parents, 1 12 year-old girl, 1 10 year-old-girl, 1 rotten 5-year-old boy, 3 fish, 1 lizard (Gizmo), 1 hamster (Emily), 2 cats (Coco & YumYum), and as of last Sunday, a stray Mommy Dog and 8 new puppies born under our shed. (Now in our utility room being cared for until they can be given away)

Personally, I don't have time to sew my own clothes, (Although I have in the past) but when I do muster up the courage to take the human components of our household shopping, we DO try to choose stores that don't have photos and models which will be unhealthy for young eyes. :coffee2

I had a pastor who preached against women wearing t shirts with writing on the chest.

That would be a problem in Wisconsin where almost every t-shirt says Green Bay Packers or Milwaukee Brewers!

Are a lot of guys there real slow readers? :toofunny
