Pajamas --for home only?
 
This weekend my husband and I are in a nice motel that serves a great continental breakfast.

You need to get dressed and go to the lobby area where there is a separate breakfast room. The majority of folks are dressed for the day. Today there was a group in their jammies.....:donuts They were modest and covered but nonetheless....they were in their pj's...Is this acceptable?

Absolutely not! And I sincerely hope you let them know as much.

Guess whatever floats their boat. We have res truants that run specials IF you show up in your jammies on certain days.

My other comment involves leaving home and driving to a public facility.

I work in a large retail environment....on many occasions I've seen customers
> male and female<
enter our very public building wearing pajama bottoms. Most but not all come under the catagory of lounge pajamas, but still.....in public??

And also ....more than once.......bedroom slippers on the feet!

Might I add.........this is in a nice part of town; not the low rent district:clock

Who cares.

Were they decent?

If so who cares....

I see my neighbors all the time in the summer in their PJ's...

well, I live in a coastal town people run around all time with as little on as possible...sometimes wish some of them were in PJ`S...

I guess different people have different customs...but it does not seem the proper thing to do.

I have come to work on saturdays before working OT in my pj bottoms look like sweats plus we have a pj day at work and of corse you have to be decent tops and bottoms.. also there just comfortable.. But i am like others my wife has wears pj bottoms around the house but out in public it is skirts I know the scipture that talks about it but I have questioned her on it and because if you are going to dress like that out in the world why would it change at home.... So are you women dressing like this to please god or man it must be man because if you wanted to please god you would dress the same in the house because god is in your home to I hope.....I think alot of it is people are afraid the a chuch member will see them and judge them as in your on home very seldom does a church member come over atleast in our home very sedom does a church member come over which is fine with me...

Okay, are you asking for some kind of religious perspective or just an opinion on the tackiness of the situation?

rgcraig 01-05-2009 08:59 AM

Re: Pajamas --for home only?
 
I know it's not a big issue with the younger generation. Some even wear them to school if allowed. I've seen them when people travel even on airplanes. They go for comfort.

It's like pj bottoms have taken the place of sweat pants - - they are everywhere all the time.

Is it proper? Personally, I don't really care, but I could never do it.

pjs are for home, but let each figure it out themselves, my opinion is put on some clothes and have some dignity, gracious, lol

I think society in general has become way to casual.

KWSS1976 01-05-2009 09:31 AM

Re: Pajamas --for home only?
 
So this is an apostolic/pentecostal fourm so if any lady wears pants at home tell your pastor this and see what he tells ya because I can tell you that your pastor does not believe in a lady wearing pants if he does he is not upc or apostolic because that would go against the articles of faith or the handbook. I don't think you should wear pants at home and not wear them out in the world you are really not apostolic or upc and should not be going to a church that holds those standards if you truly do not believe the scripture and if you think it is being interpreted wrong you should take it up with your pastor so he can tell ya to leave because that is probley what he would tell ya cause he is not going to change his views. So in short if you wear pants at home you should not attend a upc or apostolic church because pants are for men.. LOL byt the way I do not believe as the upc or apostolic chuch does when it come to dress I wear shorts to our fellowship fuctions if it is warm I am just waiting for the pastor to say something to me so I can ask him were in the bible it tells me I cannot wear shorts...

i do think you should have some dignity, but i once in awhile go pick my son up from work and i will not get out of the car, but i will have my sweats on, as long as no one sees me i am perfectly fine, but to go in public i would not dress like that, i want to be modest, i would be embarrassed

KWSS1976 01-05-2009 12:01 PM

Re: Pajamas --for home only?
 
So sweats are not modest what do they show that is not modest? Now a skimpy bathing suit that is not modest but sweat pants unless you have a hole in them somewere that shows something then they need to be thrown away....

Scott Hutchinson 01-05-2009 12:03 PM

Re: Pajamas --for home only?
 
To me wearing pjs out in public doesn't seem proper,I'm kinda old fashioned in some areas,pjs are sleepwear and to me it kinda shows manners not to wear them in public.

Be modest and be decent but dress proper for the occasion.

Our public school here has banned pajama bottoms from school.

Of course, this year they also banned hoodies. Imagine that!

I have done it. Once. I went to my Mom's for dinner. We were planning to watch movies afterwards. So I just wore a sweatshirt and my "Grumpy Pants" (they have smiley and grumpy faces on them, and that's what I call them, lol).

At some point we realized that we needed an ingredient from the store. I lost the Rock/Paper/Scissors. I could either drive out of my way and stop at home and change first, or I could go as I was.

I decided to be brave. And truly, not one person gave me a second look.

rgcraig, please do not take this personal. It's not an attack on you.

The last statement is what's wrong with the world today. Not only with the way people dress, live, talk, things they do in the office, things they do at home. etc..... list goes on & on.

We as a nation are losing it. No one really cares. We only care about what effects us at that time.

The Bible speaks of a time when every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

We know (are at least should know) the outcome when that happens.

We the people need to care about everything.

I disagree. I think the problem is that we come from a religious culture where everyone and their brother think that it's their job to tell you everything that is right and wrong and precisely how you should live your life.

Rather than helping anyone, all this does is edge out the Holy Ghost (who needs to rely on God when it's just easier to listen to Mr. So-n-so.

Even Jesus said to worry about the speck in your own eye first.

I can't speak for Renda, but I do know this. It's not that I don't care about other people, and if sincerely asked, I am always willing to share my opinion. But when it comes to determining personal preferences, convictions, etiquette and the like, I think it is between the individual and God. And I think that we, the people, need to let them work it out together.

Re: Pajamas --for home only?
 
Seriously without going to extremes on either sides,a no care attitude is not good because no man is an island unto themselves,of course the other extreme that one walks on eggshells for fear that everything is wrong produces paranoia.

But what we do affects others as believers we are not to let our good names be evil spoken of.

Somethings may not be sinful or will send you to hell but they might not be in our best interest,our in the best interest of being an ambassador of Christ.

Michlow, even heathens have a leader and follow rules. If not they are killed or become outcast.

To say all it does is edge out the HG is wrong. From the beginning God set men in place to be our leaders. They help direct us. You have to chose.

I would suppose you are ok with doing what ever you please, say going 75 mph in a school zone when the speed limit is 30 mph. The local government says you're wrong. It's not a heaven or hell issue. It's the law.
Wearing PJ's out in the public is a common sense issue. Yet some folks have no common sense. True, Maybe they have not been taught. But someone needs to start caring and try to reach them.

On another note; Romans 10
1Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above)
7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
20But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

So, you're saying that we need to care when people wear pajamas in public?

That we need to stage a protest?

My daughter's high school dress code allows for just about anything that doesn't have gang logos/colors or drug culture symbology.

When I drop her off in the morn I always see a few girls in pjs looking like they just rolled out of bed.

They look more comfortable than any of the other kids...

Still...PJs to school? come on... But is it any more shocking than my shoulder length hair and grateful dead tshirt was in 1978? nah.
