Nobody answered because this is an old topic and the answer is rather obvious. Are cows brown? yes. What does this have to do with the topic though?

2. Are women who adhere more strictly to the "look" judged to be on a higher spiritual plane than those who conform less strictly?

Yes, but so are men. Again how is this relevant to the topic?

3. Are women who just never seem to "measure up" demeaned from the pulpit or by other women? (of course these "holier" women are simply showing concern for the spiritual well-being of those who are less "holy").

Again yes, but this applies to men too. So again the line of questions seem irrelevant and rehashed, so that is probably who nobody answers

4. Once a woman decides to attend another Apostolic-based church where the standard is less stringent, are they accused of going charismatic, or of having less love for Jesus Christ, or of being weak spiritually?

Often and so are men...see above for the rest of my point

All I can say is, "GOOD GRIEF!"

I could say a lot more...but it does not seem to be getting through

This argument is as trite and intellectually dishonest as a Caucasian trying to claim reverse racism in an honest discussion about the racist legislation and policy of the last few hundred years in America ....

or men claiming reverse sexism in human history and the Church when history and common sense dictate an imbalance has been present

or a Communist touting the virtues of communism of the last 100 years ....when in fact it has failed ....and has stripped humans of their dignity and freedom
