renda, my point is that we often throw the baby out with the bath water.

many people have said " look, there's hypocirtes speaking in tongues therefore it must be false".

That is true Renda.
One thing though, not saying any of you are guilty of this but when it comes to pants/jeans/slacks in the world on women, they mean to show off what they have.

It has to "Accentuate" what they have by either being too tight overall, or to form fitting in the "Wrong" places, or too low for proprieties sake.

Well, you are asking this about standards you can see.

What about that person that looks the part, but has slept with the pastor's daughter?

We've been here before and it can be repeated again too - there are some tight fitting jean skirts being worn that look just as bad.

Yes, of course, but I was not suggesting we throw out the things I adhere to because of crazy folk, but merely pointing out that how we look is not always indicative of what's inside...it should be, but isn't.

Of course, but my statement is general, as a whole....guys are built with a different "drive" than women and it doesn't matter if a woman has on a potato sack.

What I'm saying is having to deal with young men about curbing this drive is very challenging and doesn't leave men out of the "standards" loop at all.
