Question for Women ONLY! Need your input here

[simplyme]

I guess I'm a little oldfashoned some things die hard, but at over 50 I think I am entitled, lol

I cannot understand why or HOW women cannot wear some type nylons, especially for church, I ALWAYS wear them as part of my normal grooming when preparing to attend church service, I don't believe in THAT casual for church svc; I think its a bit too 'sensual' for women to bear their ankles (yes old fashioned I know I know) plus I think they look ODD., no one has THAT perfect legs, and if they do they should be reserved for husband only ( especially IF married) ; I've seen pastors wives wear sandals only in summer, I consider it improper and not a good testimony for the younger new convert sisters; I don't see what the deal is about hosiery being "hot" I live in the most humid weather and most everything bothers me, except for pantyhose., in fact I feel better like I am properly dressed wearing them, with dresses or skirts and close toed shoes.
I never wear open toed., for more than one reason. All this is strictly my opinion and convictions.
Okay will sit here and shield my body from flying tomatoes now.

mine thinks the same way! i told him i was thinking of getting some and he was like "um...NO" and told me what i would look like he also doesn't want me to wear those stiletto's that criss cross up your ankle a little. we have some girls at church that wear them and he says they are way too racy looking.

no tomatoes here sister but i am sooooo glad our church doesn't have any platform standards other than being decent looking. i guess it's b/c i wasn't raised in this but i just don't get it...what in the world do rules about pantyhose and different shoes have to do with worshipping God? i guess it's all in what your used to but i say the Lord could care less how we're dressed as long as we are modest and not sloppy looking. just my 2 cents... ps. now i'm wondering what some of the older ladies say about me...

i totally respect that but i think it all depends on the culture u were brought up in. my generation simply wasn't raised to think that way. i just don't want people to think that i am not a lady for not wearing them, you know?
