Re: Just a curiosity question....
I can understand wearing sandals w/o hose but, I don't see how women like wearing dress shoes w/o them.

Re: Just a curiosity question....
I like to wear hose most time...but it has never been a doctrine at our church of course we are not UPCI so I really don't know how they feel about hose. Most of our people wear sandals as it is very hot here.
We did have a preacher that was ACI (ex UPC) preach for us years ago and he mentioned in his sermon about ladies wearing hose but I stopped and told him I would NOT translate that to our people...he did not like it...but I have to live here...and he would leave in a week...
Later found out he was having an affair...lol...no wonder he was looking at ladies legs...
I guess I am an odd person and even though some may consider me UC...I cringe when men get up and all they have to preach about is ladies and how they dress...
and yes I do believe both men and women should be modest but I personally do not feel that is a visiting minister's business how our church dresses...that is our job as the pastor to preach and teach our people...not every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes to visit the mission field.
If I go somewhere I go to bless not beat ... I have had to talk to people concerning different things however they were my people not sheep that someone else pastored.
You can go to heaven barefooted...but you cannot go to heaven with the wrong spirit...
Well....don't pay any attention...I am just rambling...

My friend's mother (who lives in another state) commented to me that hardly any women are wearing pantyhose or any other kinds of nylons anymore. That, in fact, it is getting hard to find stores that sell them!
Is that true in all of your areas as well? Are your women going bare-legged??? I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm just curious |
Yes, I think that's true. Most of the younger women/girls I know don't like to wear pantyhose, and I know my daughters will only wear them if I tell them they have to.
I still see them for sale everywhere, though. Target, Kohl's, Dillard's, Macy's and Steinmart all have large selections, and even my local grocery store carries a few "Legg's" brand.

Re: Just a curiosity question....
Bare legged even on the platform in our church. Not all women, but most.
As for Standards: I do not see what is wrong with shorts, capri's, bracelet's, rings, necklaces, ect....And that is one of the reason's I am not on the platform any longer.
I love the church that I go to. Pastor is PHENOMIAL! But it is more of a conservative church although we do have two TV programs running

GREAT RAMBLING! You show much more wisdom than some males that I know! Just saying.... and by the way, males, if you get upset with my remark, you must be guilty! 
Sister Alvear, I'd like to send you an offering sometime. Can you cash a money order, made out from Been Thinkin? Don't want to reveal my real identity. Some might like that too much! And in fact you might even know me. I use to pastor in Louisiana. Let me know if your bank will take a Been Thinkin money order.

Re: Just a curiosity question....
So what did those "Conservative" churches do in 1942-47 when you could not buy a pair of Nylons do to The War?
Worldly women were painting lines up the back of their legs.
I can understand requiring them on the platform, but if the dress/skirt is to the ankles, who cares.

Re: Just a curiosity question....
We have Dupont carpetting in our church. When women run the isle, they can round the corners faster with bare feet. More traction.
