I wonder how Jesus could have missed such a hot topic.... Not one iota was said about woman's responsibility to dress modestly lest her brother be tempted. Nada.

Even Peter and Paul's mention of modesty was in the context of economic wealth rather than modesty as most in the church would define it today. But why let the facts get in the way?

I agree. Biblically speaking - men had lust in their hearts way back then, and what was the women wearing? Robes that covered their entire bodies and even their head and faces. I still find it hard to believe that a man can marry a woman and the next morning after their wedding night realize it was her sister?? oops - wrong woman??

Sis. Carol Clemans still was a good speaker and very open minded about subjects that are normally taboo. :sshhh
