Pants wearin' women--where do you draw the line?

BUT.......

I have noticed a trend in the TV, WOF and Charistmatic preachers. Their wifes started to preach in the pulpits, (Gloria Copeland, Taffy Dollar, Paula White, Sheryl Brady, Bynam, Myers, etc. etc.) and, GENERALLY, when they first started they wore dresses, then pants suits, then dress slacks.

YESTERDAY....I saw a woman on GodTV teaching/preaching in tight--very tight---jeans. I have seen othe women on other Christian Networks wearing tight jeans in the choir, leading worship......

So if we accept that there is not dress "standard" that it is personal......do we accept women in our pulpits looking "any ol' way" ????

What is next? Shorts? Is there no good taste left?

Why do people seem to think they can come to church dressed worse than they would to go out and eat a $50 meal?????

There is an assumption made here that people don't wear jeans to a $50.00 a meal restaurant. This is funny because rarely do I see anyone 'dressed up' any more, for church or a nice restuarant...don't understand this world much any more.

This is true.

Society as a whole is very "dressed down" for all occasions. I was surprised at how some were dressed recently at my daughter's wedding.

In a conversation once, I was told that if you go to a very nice restaurant, you can tell the folks that can't really afford the meal- they're the ones who are dressed up.

There's a restaurant called FOGO De CHAO about 5 blocks from the White House in DC. Fancy, shmancy, expensive restaurant. I took my parents there and we were dressed up. No one else was dressed up like we were and we were dressed in church clothes.

I went back a few months later and people were looking at me funny with my jeans and a tucked t shirt. Oh well.
