Outward standards are all about the SECOND greatest commandment of the NT, which is to love your neighbor. If you truly love your neighbor you will not tempt them. You will also dress and act in such a way as to respect them while not trying to cause feelings of envy.
It is simply amazing how one basic principle can applied to so many things!
Some men and women are so full of the spirit of lust that it wouldn't matter what anyone wore in front of them and to put that responsibility off on others to keep you from temptation is assinine.

Agreed, but I am talking about extremes. I remember working with certain young ladies walking into the bank who God had chosen to "bless" mightedly. And they dressed to show exactly how God had blessed them! I counted a lot of ceiling tiles when they were in the room. lol
It is not about measuring the length of fabric where there is some magic number that is too short. It is about simply being respectful. Nothing more or nothing less.
Has there been any room for maturity in the past century?
Which Elders were the untouchables?
Were Haywood, Goss, Whitherspoon, Ewart, Norris, and Reynolds our Elders?

I am a firm believer in the Old Paths
Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves

Untouchable? none. we are all human. (I would not suggest anyone follow Peter and Pauls path of contention)
Bro, it was a joke. Wholehearted is much more conservitive than me. He got his views from his elders, I did the same..... thus... it goes without saying that if I remain less conservitive than him, I like my elders more!
all in all WH is a good guy.

Freudian slip?
asinine
1. foolish, unintelligent, or silly; stupid: It is surprising that supposedly intelligent people can make such asinine statements.
2. of or like an ass: asinine obstinacy; asinine features.
