I am glad it never was either.
It is sad. What does God care if they wear white or multi-colored shirts. Whydoes God care if the men wear a kilt or pants. Why does God care if a women wears pants or skirt? As long as you are modest and not trying to be something He did not make you to be.

Re: Conservative Camp Meeting, Ventura, CA.06/22-0
If the devil cannot get us one way he tries another just to keep our focus wrong...
I think it is fine to teach the people to dress nice...however the devil has been around a long time and he studies each one of us...He is a smart devil!

If peer pressure bothered me I would have left the Bible on the pulpit and walked away a long time ago...

Re: Conservative Camp Meeting, Ventura, CA.06/22-0
There will always be someone who dresses "holier" we do. The Amish, The Menonites, Fundamentalist Islamic women wear the Burka, Fundamentalist polygamist Mormon women wear fashions from the 1800's. Who has cornered the market on holiness. Are we in a contest to see who is holier? Are we using "standards" as a barometer of spiritual commitment to God? What about the condition of the heart? Do we assume all is well with the soul when the "look" is in place?

Yup. Because if the "look" really is in place in detail to satisfy all the demands, there's no soul left; just a nice shiny sepulcher.

Re: Conservative Camp Meeting, Ventura, CA.06/22-0
If they ant to dress like that, fine. If it's a platform requirement, fine. If it's a church membership requirement, fine. I have no problem with those things.
It's problematic when that is the main focus. The heart goes unchecked. People live without victory. Have to make it to the next Sunday night hoopla to try and get victory.
I don't believe that the UCons are too far off the mark as far as lifestyle is concerned. In my humblest of opinions, the problem is that so many preachers didn't study the word to support their claims. Too many times we hear "Elder so n so said this..." "..we've always done it this way..." "Pastor says this..." and with NO scriptural foundation. This is when the fear tactics are used. Obey me or you're in rebellion, and rebellion is witchcraft sans the bulls on the altar.
Many "arguments" need to be revamped. Jezebel painted her eye lids and looked ou a window is not a very good argument against the wearing of makeup. While I personally do not believe that the wearing of makeup will send a woman to the hot place, the reasons for wearing it can. And that is usually the symptom of a far greater issue.
You don't put a bandage on a deep wound. Cough-drops do not cure the cold, they mask a symptom.
