When and How did it happen?
What was the first thing you did (what standard did you do away with first)??
How did you feel??

Hmmm. When I left the ultra con church we belonged to, I started wearing denim, took my hair down, and put on a knit t-shirt. (gasp) I put my wedding rings on, put on some chocolatey-smelling lip gloss, and watched a bunch of movies.
Seriously, matthew, I felt great--because I never believed in any of
those "standards" anyway, so it was freedom for me to be myself.
I don't imagine that dropping standards you were never convicted of in the first place would even be a blip on the radar.
Now, if you are convicted about something in your heart, and you go against that deliberately or rebelliously, that's another story. Or if you believe scripture does teach one thing, and you deliberately do another....
Rebellion is not always in play, no matter what some would like to believe.
