Oneness Pentecostals have majored on minors for many years. It's almost funny how some churches will dis-fellowship over silly stuff like wearing the color red, wearing watches or wedding bands!
I'm embarrassed at some of my roots in religious culture. |

Wow, I guess these girls went to a school for the blind?
I cannot figure out how rolling up a long dress can look acceptable to the teenage population of a high school or Jr High. I mean, come on, these girls must of had to of rolled 15 to 16 inches of material under the dress (that is if they had those dresses down to their ankles). Isn't that a little odd just to show off their knee caps to the boys? I think they must of repelled more than they attracted.
Come to think of it, didn't it look kind of baggy? Like they were wearing patato sacks around their waste? Didn't teachers call home and try to find out why these children were commiting crimes against fashion?
Whatever.
Every religion has young people who are not into the religion, and that happens. Faith cannot be forced, and therefore if a Muslim girl doeesn't want to wear her hajib, or Jewish boy his kipa, then there is very little the parents can do about it. Children adopt the traditions of parents because of the parents true devotion to them. The parents showed love, true love of those traditions to their children. Those traditions were pleasant and not a burden for the children, and therefore the children kept those traditions for the rest of their lives. When traditions are made to be as hard to swallow as castor oil, then the child will abandon them as soon as possible.
