  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I never saw boys with pants at their knees. We live in Australia and we had the hottest and longest summer ever cos it was supposed to finish in february but was really hot in march. We have to wear short summer dresses and skirt or it gets too hot. But its less hot this week and summer weather is for sure over!

I'm so sorry :prayer: I didn't realize someone had replied because I get so much spam in my inbox. The pants to the knees thing was an exaggeration, but yeah. If the weather is hot, by all means accommodate.

It's just that when women wear super short dresses with no sleeves to go on the news in the middle of winter, it irks me.

Basically, practical vs fashion :/

Good point above mine.

I believe that the Bible should be our first standard.
I believe that common sense should be second
Fashions come after that.
So the first thing to think of is where the bible says that women should dress modestly. I also cover my head, that is my interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11.
Next is common sense- finances and weather. I wear more in the winter than I do in the summer. It also doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money buying a new wardrobe of "fashionable" clothes every season.
Outside of those requirements, I don't have anything wrong with wearing stylish clothing. It's just a matter of keeping priorities straight
