Re: Pants wearin' women--where do you draw the lin

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 other 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?????
Good taste and reverence are both becoming scarce commodities these days.

Skirts and dresses on women are the optimal choice for both modesty and femininity. They are definitively feminine, as there is no such thing (yet, *gulp*) as a man's dress.

What's missing is the older women teaching the younger women.
