Sorta..Foot loose?
Sorta..
I left that congregation in 1981.. three years before the movie..
Btw, I wasn't allowed to go to movies either. It was, still is, kjv only..
When I left, I went to a "liberal ( by comparison)" SBC.
That’s actually pretty sad. There are good, literal, reverent translations that are readable and helpful. I like the KJV but it’s not the end-all.My best friend goes to a KJV only Baptist Church, last year he asked me what translation I used, I told him the ESV. I thought he was going to break, but he's still using the KJV. I have heard of people being shunned for a while, and then being publicly humiliated in efforts to coerce them to use the KJV only.
Is it true that Baptist women are not allowed to wear jeans - only skirts?
I have no idea why there are some that think God either speaks the king’s english or somehow makes it a better interpretation to Scripture’s most authentic message.That’s actually pretty sad.

There’s an extent to which I sort of get it… they’re trying to protect the meaning of Scripture from an undeniable liberalism which creeps into a *lot* of modern translations eventually. But they’ve turned the text into a virtual deity, and it gets to be too much.I have no idea why there are some that think God either speaks the king’s english or somehow makes it a better interpretation to Scripture’s most authentic message.
When I first became a Christian my wife and I attended a Wednesday night Bible study at a Pentecostal church. My wife wore jeans -- we were farmers. The Pentecostal (female) leader cited the verse that says "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God." Deuteronomy 22:5
As a new Christian I was very upset that she used the Old Testament law to claim that my wife was an "abomination unto the Lord". We left that church shortly afterwards, never to return.

How do they defend prohibition - when Jesus himself enjoyed wine?This is similar to prohibitions in various Anabaptist conferences.
Was there a time when this was true?
Or where does this rumour come from then?
I don't think it's that, I think they believe it's a better English translation because only those translators took the care necessary. Of course a few may believe the Bible was actually written in the old English not realizing it was written in Hebrew and Greek.
"There was a time" this was true of every Christian denomination. I knew a Catholic family that wouldn't allow their daughters to wear pants, even to school, because they saw it as a matter of their faith.
What year was that, I wonder?

Lol!KJV is the language of angels passed down from God to Moses at Sinai and KJV bibles of both old and new testament fell from the sky along with the mana and quail in the wilderness. I thought everyone knew that.
Yeah, it took a while for pants on women to become normative / not shocking."There was a time" this was true of every Christian denomination. I knew a Catholic family that wouldn't allow their daughters to wear pants, even to school, because they saw it as a matter of their faith.
Baptists may have held on longer to a dress code for women, that I'm not sure of, but if so that would be all there is to it.
When I was first visiting churches to determine which church I might like to attend after I was saved, I attended many churches and more than one denomination and I ran into one church where all the women were wearing near identical potato sacks (shapeless, formless dresses), so similar it seemed quite uniform-like, but they weren't Baptist, it was some independent church of some kind.
In my area there aren't even independent Baptist churches where I would feel uncomfortable wearing pants. The Primitive Baptist women all largely wear dresses to church but not like a uniform or something, and not even they would look at me funny if I wore slacks nor make me feel uncomfortable or out of place.
KJV is the language of angels
