Dancing: Ever acceptable outside Shockamoo?

Don't question, just obey to avoid the demon rebellion.

I'm sure all the "real apostolics" would say that's because the devil is a great impersonator... but the similarity is definitely creepy.

I've been making that comparison for years, at least as far as appearances go.

But guys and girls actually TOUCH when they dance in the world! Don't they? Oh, not always, except in slow dances... hmmm... well but they move around and sway their hips and move in ways that bring attention to themselves... oh wait. Never mind.

I like this finale the best though (just had to add it for the fun of it):

Even if they didn't touch, a girl dancing might look pretty! Even if she wasn't dancing suggestively, all that moving and health and stuff might make a man lust. And we know its all women's fault when men do that.

Ah, but really, women shouldn't even walk. Someone's going to look at her if she does. And all women should wear at least two petticoats plus their skirt. Otherwise when the wind blows the outline of a woman's thigh might be revealed as the wind presses into the fabric of her skirt. Shirts should also be bought at least two sizes too large to prevent an outline of her torso. And she should never wear bright colors-those could attract undue attention to her as well.

Really, to be really holy she should just get a burka or wear a bag over her head. Yet she should remember to always, always look her best in order to be a witness for Jesus.

reminds me of a song a few years back

OUGHTA BE A LAW
Lee Roy Parnell

Oughta be a law,
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

There oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

The way she moves is a moving violation
It just ain't right what she's doing to me
She walked by and stole my attention
You know it makes me want to lock the girl up
And throw away the key

There oughta be a law,
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

Driving home she turned me around
I had to make the block come back and check it out again
Blood red dress and dangerous curves
When she flashed her smile at me it threw me into a spin

Oughta be a law
Oughta be a law ya'll
Oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

She's stopping traffic up and down the street
Making a wreck of every man she meets
Somebody ought to go call the police
She's disturbing the peace

Oughta be a law
oughta be a law ya'll
Yes, oughta be a law against anybody walking that way

She ought to get a citation
For all the excitation
Go before the judge and jury
For causing such a fury

There ought to be some kind of law ya'll
There ought to be some kind of law ya'll
