Jeanie,

I really do appreciate those kind words. And he is a really cool dad. Great preacher also.

Without a doubt. A woman is built completely differently than a man. This is why women's pants are cut differently than men's pants.

Men who have such an awareness of every lady's apparel may have an inappropriate awareness of the ladies.

Message to believing men: Get in relationship with your God, and with your wife, and lose your acute awareness of every lady that walks by, she is not thinking about you.

Witty reply to the men--but makes no sense at all in the context of this discussion. Nearly all who have replied have referred to "modest" clothing, as did you. But when the clothing is not modest--even is vulgar--it is not the responsibility of the men and women who have to sit and listen to these preachers to get a "relationship with God" and "lose your acute awareness..." of their dress.

When a woman is in the pulpit and their jeans are so tight there is a V in places where we should not see the V expect in the bedroom, then somehow I think you have to put the responsibility on the wearer of the clothes and the producers of the TV and pastors who allow them on their platforms.

Agreed?

I would agree with this too, however, the same can go for men that show too much in some pants that they wear or the way they are sitting on the platform. Ugh!

It's not all just about women.

You know the other night my wife said.........I wonder how come you never hear the guys in tight pants being preached too. She said, if its not a sin. Its Gross!!!!

But of course! LOL, I personally do not like the shirt hanging out thing, but it would cover up to what you are referring.

True.

I think it does come down to preference. I choose to wear jeans mostly and also at church. Often times it is with a dress shirt untucked. It depends my mood. I am always modest though. I think sometime people outside the church or in what this movement calls 'the World' sees preachers in a suit as being stuffy and thus the church being stuffy. There is a rather large church out here in the west valley. It is VERY large. The pastor is known as thee blue jean preacher. Most every service he wears a somewhat hawaiian shirt and jeans. There was a great article a few years ago about him and the church in one of the papers here. Many, many of the church members interviewed said that the way he dressed influenced them to go to that church, but the teachings and ministering is what kept them. I wonder if this could work in other parts of the country?
