I just think it's a very inconsistent message that the leaders are sending, if they really want their girls to hold to strict standards.
And, by the way, I wouldn't wear these dresses that she had on in these pictures and I'm a certified lib on here!!  However, I don't doubt her walk with God at all; it's just not how I would feel comfortable dressing. |
What I see in these posts is that there is a maturity taking place.
It is not necessary to condemn an entire medium because evil has a presence there. Nor is it expedient to reject ones entire testimony because of a different dress code.
EX: I would love to hear TJ Jakes preach at our church in spite of my distaste for his dress style. Christian disciplines and convictions are very personal in nature and should not be a primary measuring stick. Those who would demand a cookie cutter mentality live with insecurity.

But Stephen, the UPC does want to demand a cookie cutter mentality concerning standards and that's why I think it was confusing. JMHO!

Sherri, It's entirely possible that things have changed/are changing a wee bit since 20 years back.
So you will stand by the sidelines and jeer that it did not used to be this way - back in the day?

Personally, I don't care what they do; it just is a little surprising to me, that's all. After 16 years away, I can see major changes. Is that good or bad??? I don't know, just surprising.
