If I'm thirsty... then I'm just thirsty... I"m not thirsty for a specific thing until I identify what I'm thirsty for.

She's thirsty for Christ and doesn't know it -- that's our jobs as Christians.

Who do you witness to? Only those dressed to your standards? Didn't Jesus reach out to the woman at the well? Did she know she was thirsty? No. Not until she met Christ.

She can't be thirsty for Christ if she doesn't know it.....that's absurd. That's like me saying I'm hungry for a hamburger but I just don't know it.....that's crazy.

I witness to everyone... because yes they are thirsty. But they aren't thirsty for CHRIST until they REALIZE they are thirsty for CHRIST via the Holy Ghost and conviction. Prior to that, their thirst knows no focus.

I know my wife would have an issue with me if described a woman as explicit as BR did. She would suggest my eyes look elsewhere.

Absolutely one of the least intelligent posts that I have ever seen you put up tv.
Kill the messenger.
Let me use the same tactic with you.
Sounds like you and your wife have trust issues, you may need to have a long talk about this or see a counselor.

We don't know that as we can't see people's hearts.

and by the same token...neither does Acquilla who made the initial statement that SHE WAS THIRSTY FOR CHRIST.... which is a totally absurd assumption... but sounds all touchy-feely and cum-ba-yah.

I have to be observant as one of my jobs as a manager is to police appearance.....

Just in case TV didn't see my response..... to the absurd accusation made.

Just amazed at the number of posters on here who do not live in the real world.
As someone who has to deal with the issue raised by BR, here, I can tell you that it is not only religious fanatics who are offended by others work attire.
Some of those who dress immodestly do it intentionally to draw attention and "push the limits".
And some do not think anything about it.

Absolutely..... and they get their voice heard by wearing it... do those of us that are offended by it not get a voice as well? Should we have to put up with being visually assaulted continually where we work? How is it somehow a better witness that I have to dread coming to work during the summer because of staff attire? Believe me, I don't expect them to dress like the church, but please dress like your at work.... and not out at the local meeting of the hoochie girl society.

And the thought that somehow I'm less what Jesus wants me to be because I say something to management about it is absolutely the epitome of absurdity.

Then your defining 'sexiness" largely by how much skin is being shown. I don't do that. For me attractiveness, sexiness, and to a somewhat lesser degree, modesty, can be nearly interchangeable in their use. I would even throw personality into the mix.

Since the school year ended at my school we're no longer required to wear business casual when we come in (not until school starts again in late August). I am offending a whole lot of people with all my Green Bay Packer garb I have on right now. It wouldn't surprise me if someone has complained..... LOL
