Hope Im not interrupting berry picking

I understand holiness standards, as if the Menno's had a 100, this UPS Church has 10.

If you do not go & see, how will you know if you have the same issues?

Surely not wanting to put on modest atire is stopping you from finding a home? I'm not gonna preach to you (who am I to do so?) but no Church is perfect like everything else in life, and just like everything else you have to compromise this-for-that.

No, not wanting to put on costumes is. And it is not a question of how MUCH a costume is put on, but anything is "too much". If the ONLY standard was something small like "all members must wear this pin on their collars" it would be too much.
