Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

The world will be the world. Professionally speaking her attire was inappropriate and potentially offensive to others. Disciplinary procedures should have followed with perhaps a stern warning if this is her first offense. Sexy or offensive... it doesn't matter... it's inappropriate in a business environment. If she wants to dress like a hoochie let it be on her own time.

Everyone likes "sexy" and everyone has their own "proclivities" with regards to sex and sexuality. However, those are private matters for private times and should be handled with discretion and respect in a business or public environment.

LOL.
I probably would have used Betty Paige vs Betty White as examples. LOL

Oh how I miss Rhoni in some of these discussions. LOL

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

its thes etype of people who want men to lust after them. sexy doesnt need to be in the work place. its needs to be kept in the bedroom. I like cold weather, but i also like the fact the cold forces people to cover up.

i walked in the park the other day with my 2 daughters. and lo and behold to 2 girls i say between 18-21 in a skimpy 2 peice swimsuit, doing chalk art on the side walk both with their butt's stuck up in the air so everyone could see it....

I did assume you meant at your work.

CC1 would have most of us here wearing blue denium wear.

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

It's evident that some women who dress like this are looking for attention. Why? They feel alone inside. Some of these women are "looking for love" hoping to find some form of attention that will satisfy. She's a prime candidate to introduce to Jesus.

We must be wise. Sometimes we have to take a stand... sometimes we have to stand down and see what might be going on in the spirit with the people we know and work with.

What might Jesus have done? That's open to debate. But my point is... don't forget Christ and your calling in these situations.

There is a HUGE difference between attractiveness and sexy. Attractive is not inappropriate.... sexy is inappropriate anywhere in public and offensive.

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

Are we gasping at this woman's behavior in condemnation of her attire... or are we thinking about what all of this means with regards to her soul? I would see it as a cry for help. She's trying to get attention... but it's Christ's attention that she is truly hungry for.
