Many people complain about the OP dress code affecting women and not men but I have heard from a reliable source that the true test of a man's committment to standards is his willingness to go white water rafting in a dress shirt and dress shoes to deflect any amazement and giggling that might be directed toward his wife or other OP women folks with him based on their dress for such an adventure.

(I remember a lovely picture snapped of a female UPC relative of mine snapped a few years ago at a water park while she was whizzing down a giant slide with her "modest" skirt flapping back over her head - LOL!!!)

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Could be because I have never told it...I hope it helps someone to see how these things progress and what true holiness is...and it has little to do with outward dress.

Blessings, Rhoni

Re: To all you ladies out there

Your transparency is greatly appreciated! I think you have an amazing testimony, and the fact that you are open with your life shows what a genuine character you have!
Thanks Rhoni!

Re: To all you ladies out there

People wonder why I am transparent...Jesus wants me to be..it is the only way others can know that other people have went through similar situations and there is hope, mercy, and grace for them also.
