No they don't.

So, if YOU were a pastor, you would tell women in the church to wear a dress because you could see their shape because of their jeans? Good job, and good grief

So, are you going on record as saying that you think women's jeans, which are typically skin tight and accentuating the buttocks, are modest???

No. I would tell them that women's pants do not reflect the image of Christian modesty admonished in Scripture for women. If asked why, I'd advise that they speak to my wife, or a seasoned woman of the church, for the details. If pressed, I'd say that the majority of women's pants in our society are far too tight to agree with Christian modesty.

Any man who has ever lived with a woman who wears pants knows the first two questions she's likely to ask as she exits the dressing room and turns to see herself from behind in the mirror.
1.) "Do these jeans make me look fat?"
2.) "How does my bottom look in these jeans?"
And woe unto the man who doesn't know how to answer these questions with wisdom...

I'm not intending to be indecent, it's just an extremely common experience. lol

Now you're being silly. lol

Yes, even pants for overweight women can be immodestly form fitting.

Please note, I'd apply the same standard to certain dresses and skirts. Because even some dresses and skirts are too form fitting, or revealing, to meet the Christian woman's call to biblical modesty.

Again, the admonishment to Christian modesty is more than sufficient for elders to admonish women to not wear pants, without having to argue that women's Jordache jeans pertain to a man.

Why don't you just put them into a 55gal drum?

Chris, go find a church now.

SO...…...to make a point you choose a picture of a woman who really wants to be a man.. kinda supports Chris's point about intent!

By now, you should know that I don't care one bit who agrees with me. I just want to discuss topics, present my thoughts, and know that my thoughts aren't being mischaracterized to mean something I don't mean.

Why would you say that about Joe?
