Re: To all you ladies out there
Okay, I'll bite. We attended a church for 4 1/2 years whose dress standards were MUCH stricter than our own. So when we resigned, and went somewhere else, I immediately reverted back to my own personal standards of dress, which I had adhered to prior to attending that church.
Hopefully you live by your own personal convictions and by biblical principle 100% of the time. Now, if you have a church that asks you to follow additional rules, in my opinion, you should abide by them, or, if you feel you cannot, then be up front with the pastor about your objection, and have an "understanding" with him regarding your noncompliance.
I do hate it that folks feel they have to hide.
