  • 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.

Modest dressing should fit well and look nice, while work clothes can be roomy and comfortable. Modest clothes that are worn every day should have a good fit but never tight with stuff falling out.

Usually the difference between the modest everyday and the modest fancy stuff is the cut and material.

exactly- I do believe that dressing tastefully and appropriately are important. Modesty comes in so many levels and has many meanings.
I feel that women especially, often show so much more than they ever should. I hate seeing leggings and fitted tops, lots of cleavage, short shorts or skirts. I hate even more, seeing children and teens dressing this way. Like, they have no sense of how to respect themselves. It's sad.

I couldn't agree more! I don't like seeing it either. You'd think with some people demanding to be respected without earning respect would at least try to garner some respect by dressing decently, right?

Woooo. Was that a run-on sentence or what? HA!!

modest clothing...
Well, being covered, being under his mantle, wearing garments of praise..

For me, it means tasteful clothing that the Lord likes. I used to wear a lot of black as it ended up being a kind of work uniform, but now have discarded that as I'm free and not a widow, plus black is the most dull, boring non-colour.

I like simple clothing thats not fussy.
I don't show cleavage simply because I don't really have any lol.
I'm more comfortable in roomy trousers, not tight jeans and tight skirts. long skirts in general but if they are shorter, just above the knee any shorter then I need to wear stockings under it so as not to flash anyone.

No labels or satanic symbols as you'd be surprised a lot of clothing these days is branded. When its summer and really hot I do wear t shirts and shorts, but they aren't tight ones.

I suppose if I were a parent I'd be concerned about what my child wears but as I'm not, its not my business to interfere or judge. These days many schools have uniforms even primary schools so parents don't need to worry so much about keeping up with trends. As long as the children are warm and their clothing isn't dirty or ragged and torn its ok.
Oh and sunhats - yes, in the summer I don't like seeing children fry under the harsh sun.

Young ladies need to keep away from harlot like clothing, I agree with that. Just for their own protection. I have had men come onto me and think I'm like harlot because they just have these strange ideas about clothes, and it seems, especially heels and stockings. So don't wear anything that would be provocative that you might see at a brothel.
