Tarheel Baptist said:Tom Brennan said:Tarheel Baptist said:All cultures and generations have 'standards'. If you look at pictures of the World Series games of the 50's the men wore suits and the ladies wore dresses and hats.
...which is my point. I agree that fundamentalists didn't fuss over such things but it bears mentioning that no one fussed over those things then. That doesn't mean fundamentalists now are necessarily wrong FOR fussing over such things because their predecessors didn't.
And, FTR, I do not think what a women or a man wears is a fundamental of the faith by any stretch. I am saying that attacking the IFB movement for standing up for dress standards on the basis that their forefathers never did is a total strawman.
It is not my intention to attack the IFB movement for standing up for dress standards. They are more than welcome to any standard they might choose to have. My problem comes when those in the IFB movement with those standards attack me because I don't believe or practice those standards.
Exactly!
They lump you in with the Mormons.
The church we just left wouldn't even allow my wife to teach Sunday school because she wore pants. My wife was brought up her entire life in an IFB church she is a stay at home wife and homeschools our kids. Her first kiss was to me her husband pure as the driven snow graduated from a state university cares for her home treats her husband like a king that he is ;-) reads her bible and wasn't allowed to teach children's Sunday school because she wore pants.
We for the most part agreed pretty much on everything but because we disagreed on this ONE thing, she couldn't teach SS. Not doctrine nothing Fundamental but pants. Does this make sense to anyone? Because it doesn't to me. Like I said they lump you in with the Mormons over pants. :
Tom, maybe you can explain this to me because I really honestly don't get it.
Understand something, she never wore pants to any church function not one time, we knew better than to do that.
