Really... we're going to spiritualize clothes too?

DAII - it's probably fine and even timely to critique the blog posts that he did. I'm uncomfortable with posting pictures of young people, however. I know these pics are probably readily available online at the various social network sites, but still - these are kids (Most of them).

The magazine cover is a fair lampoon - just wish it didn't have pics of clearly identifiable kids there. Maybe the "real" context of the pics is something that escapes me, if so then my objections may be irrelevant.

It's just that I'd like for kids to have a little extra room to experiment and even be a little crazy at times. That's how you find the boundaries. Their parents and leaders are there as a safety net - kind of like the way a toddler learns to walk. They need a hand to hold and then let go of as they try their own way.

How do they know? by my long sleeves, jacket, tie, well polished shoes and a beat up brief case. If I am sitting there in jeans and a t-shirt they never ask me that question.

So it is obvious that in order to known as a Christian there should be a certain kind of dress for that. The problem I have is no one ever approaches me when I am wearing a suit at the court house and says "Your a Christian...right?" Maybe I need a new outfit.

When I was a worldly person I couldn't tell a Christian by how they dressed.
Some of them even dressed like me (except for the "Slayer" t-shirt hehe).

You're obviously a male ... we're androgynous in Pentecost.

Wearing certian clothes doesn't make you any more holier than standing in a garage makes you a car.

The woman said she recognized this sister because of the way that she dressed.
