Mark, put your bifocals on. I said nothing about sexual manner in my posts.

But I stand by the notion that there are men obsessed with women's clothing on this forum. I think that's wrong.

Because if the women fail us in this area it will change the course of the doctrine, the anointing and culture of the entire movement.

How women dress will change Acts 2:38?

I have to wonder what they do in other countries where men don't wear pants and the women don't wear dresses!! Hell in a handbasket, I'm sure!!

And there is no anointing, of course. It all falls depending on how the women dress!!

Let me relate a story about a girl that was raised as an AOG. She was invited to a UPC church and although she already had the HG she didn't go by the standards. She saw her need to be baptized in Jesus Name and she did. She was in love with God, the church, and the people. She changed her standards because she saw how the level of anointing was different than what she had ever known before. After many years, the church she came into, started letting the standards go and it wasn't long until there was no visible aspect of the UPC left in that church. She said that things changed when the church started letting go of the standards, the anointing was different, everything was different. She didn’t condemn anyone but she did see and feel the changes…

Yes, i believe that it would be the same if she was blind or not.

It was more in the attitude of why it was being done. The attitude of the church changed along with the standards. When they started letting things go out the door, it allowed a spirit and an attitude to come in.

I think men and women should wear long robes that don't show their shape.

I think some of you menfolk are quite strange.

I can't imagine being on a thread about men's dress and commenting about things I know nothing about as if I do.

Honestly, some of you have something wrong upstairs. I'm serious here. I think there are quite a few of you who need to pray and ask God to get your eyes off other women and what they are wearing and how they are wearing it. Some of you men notice more about women's clothing than the women do!

Anyone who has been around here knows that when it comes to women's clothing issues, there are more men commenting on those threads than women. Just look at the latest women's holiness thread!!

Some of you have a problem and need to seek God. Bad.
Yelp,I got something wrong upstairs,I don't have one.
