Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

Someone suggested my wife and I see a counselor because I said she would knock me up side the head if I went into details about someone's "sexy" outfit and how they looked in it. My marriage is rock solid. I believe my wife should be concerned if I was able describe in detail a person's outfit and what was showing and what wasn't showing. No one should be staring at a person long enough to be describing the most intimate parts of the person's anatomy. Unless a person is a pro, it takes more than a quick glance to accurately describe the scene. I wonder how much of the initial post was reality and how much was creative license. The phrase "I couldn't help myself from looking" should send a warning signal that the flesh needs calibrated to be more in line with the Spirit.

I DO fault him, to a certain extent. It is one thing to say "I'm serious! Don't kid with me!" (to which he will undoubtedly say I put words in his mouth again), and quite another to say "I'm serious! And it is a sin if you aren't too!" (to which he will ALSO say I put words in his mouth).

And while I admit I could be wrong, I am also under the impression that working with him must be like having Dwight Schrute as a fellow employee. Always serious and ready to turn you in for something, but also very very easy to play gags on! LOL

I AM joking here but the sad part is is that you may not think I am, and actually agree with me.

The crazy thing is is that I could see Jesus laugh while watching this.

Re: So Sexy Isn't Offensive?

The original topic of this thread was about a woman who dressed inapropriately in the workplace, and whether it was offensive or not. Maybe "girls just wanna have fun," but are not aware that they are being objectified by those viewing their display?

Women want the attention but don't want to be touched. You don't take a boy to the toy store tell him that he can't touch what's on display. Sorry .. off topic.

A quote worthy of Rhoda Morgensterns mother.

No, but you can tell a Christian man that.... In reality, we have already instructed our son that even though some women are immodest with their clothing choices, he has to be modest with his eyes. If a woman is immodest, then you have to be modest and look away. Whether a woman is "asking" for it is irrelevant to the conversation; a Christian man's modesty isn't determined by the company he's in.

Respecting women can and should be taught, and it shouldn't be reserved for respectable women. A gentleman shows respect to ALL women, regardless of whether they deserve it or not.
