Re: Pondering

I knew that last post "Pondering" would be a comment-attraction. Thanks to all of you who have commented! I read and appreciate all of your opinions! Please remember that everything posted here is merely my opinion, and it may not jive with yours (or your pastor's!). I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me, as long as you can do it civilly! (I have published all the civil comments - if you would rather me take your comment off so people can't read it, let me know! Remember, you can always email me at apostolicfashion@gmail.com for a more private convo!) To respond to some of the comments: I haven't seen guy purses! do you have a picture you can send me? Are they, like, satchel/briefcase kind of things? While I understand the point about high heels (I like flats, personally, they are comfortable! lol), there haven't been many preachers (none that I can think of, offhand. If I'm wrong, let me know!), that have preached against heels! Though I have heard Elder Moody preach against stilettos, because they make one...uh... "wiggle" lol. Tights are awesome for staying warm! I wear them myself for warmth sometimes. The problem isn't when one wears tights, it's when the tights become merely a fashion statement, and really serve no needful purpose (such as keeping warm). The kinds of tights I was referring to are the wildly outlandish patterns that really draw attention to the legs. (Most of those patterns probably aren't even found on the warm type of tights). To respond to a comment I left unpublished - spellcheck is always helpful when trying to spell the words "Muslim" and "Amish"
Hope to hear from you all some more!

Pondering...

There are certain trends in Apostolic-ism right now that confuse me. These are rather popular, so I might offend a few of my readers. For this, I apologize in advance. Just remember, you can't go to Heaven if you don't forgive me!!! :)
The first thing is a guy thing. Why do guys wear pink? It just looks sooo wrong! Pink is not a guy color! Girls don't wear ties, guys don't wear pink - that makes sense, right??? Every time I see a guy wearing pink, it just makes me wonder what he was thinking. I've heard that color-blindness is common in males, so maybe they are just color-blind and someone told them it was red or something?? No...no...no... they HAVE to know. Why, guys?? I don't understand it! I was at a wedding, and the groomsmen had to wear pink rose boutonnieres. They freaked out! They felt unmanly wearing them. OK, so maybe that was a little extreme, but I'd rather all the Apostolic guys felt that way than the other way! Frustrates me...

Next up, girls' patterned tights/nylons/whatever you wanna call them. We as a movement have stood against tatoos for generations, so why are some girls wearing stockings that look like tatoos?? Nylons are not supposed to catch the eye - they are supposed to be covering! Some of these girls look like they have tire tracks all over their legs! Let me pose the question: should women be wearing things on their legs that attract attention??? Most of the people wearing patterned nylons don't wanna cover them up with a long skirt - they are fashion statements! Therefore, short skirts are worn, and attention is brought to the legs... do I need to make myself more clear???

On to happier notes, I've heard of an awesome message preached at a conference a while ago that goes along with the "Spirit of the Style" post. If I can get a copy of it, and figure out how to post it online, I will share it with all of y'all.
