Oh no , I don't care what people wear either , my hubby's nick name for me is ' scruffcat ' so that should tell u something , I just think that people who r going to church should , actually , wear , clothes . Cover their flesh !
Oh right
As long as they wear underwear I'm ok.

Sometimes it's too hot to wear clothes, but thats when it's time to get baptised, to cool off (in your clothes)
 
it's not really too hot... when we were in Grenada, the folks there wore long pants and shirts, sometimes with ties. No air conditioning. 85 to 87 degrees, about 98% humidity. We just all sweated. The women there used lots of talcum powder.

eek
Talcum powder is not good for you. It's carcinogenic.

I think it's all individual , I suffer from heat intolerance . Can't even stand next to the kettle or toaster when they r on because I get so hot . In the winter in UK , everyone is wearing big thick heavy coats , I'm in a light jacket and probably too hot in it 🥵 . It's related to health conditions so I just have to put up with it 🙄 . The question I get asked most is ; ' aren't u cold ?' . The answer is always ' no ' .

Went out for a walk (in a weekly walking group) and its like 5 degrees celcius...one of the guys is in shorts and a t shirt and I'm in merino thermals, fleecy vest, woollen leggings etc.

It's winter here!!
 
I imagine there are a lot of things you wouldn't do, that the folks on Grenada do..... unless you lived there, and it was your best choice.

One thing I have learned is "never say never".... just don't snort it, and you'll be fine. The slight contamination with asbestos is not confirmed to be in ALL talc.... but it does naturally occur... sometimes. And, could possibly cause health issues if inhaled....

I don't know anything about Grenada just sayin. Not judging them, I don't live there.

People wear clothes or not because it helps them be comfortable, or protects them. Though some fashions are totally absurd - corsets, stilettos, giant beehive wigs anyone? What about shoulder pads? I understand knee pads, but shoulder pads? Seriously? Were they for perching your pet bird on or something?

Again, we are all different.

You could just end any kind of argument by just saying 'We're all different' :D
 
Sometimes as a Christian it is good to be a party of one, being the different one. I look at us as being seed planters for God. We plant the seed and the Holy Spirit makes it grow.

People watch us and observe and hopefully most of the time we are doing good things for God and it plants good seeds. Ultimately we want people to get to know God and accept Jesus as their savior. So don't worry about being the different one its o.k. to be different.

Kitten heels with velours! And NAILS. I'm more of a Kath Day-Knight dress sense without the clowning glory...but with Kim's hair if was shorter.
 
Um

Yes we're all different. In different ways.

I wasn't really referring to upbringing though, more about individuals. You can be from the same family, raised the same and still be completely different from your siblings.

indeed true. my parent had 5 boys, no girls & 1 of the brothers is very much different.

er...so 4 sons were alike and only 1 was different?

I kind of don't want to know what the difference was. Unless you were the one that was different!

no, i'm not the different 1 but close. the different brother was extremely independent, a true initiator, the life of the party for sure. he's a teacher overseas. he's been teaching in dubai, spain, china, taiwan, poland & africa. the difference with my brothers & i is that i was the 1st 1 to become a born again Christian & that was in 1993, didn't party like crazy, i'm the only business owner, i love nature rides while they don't, they were always more gregarious than i, i'm the only work-a-holic, the only 1 who has gone on many vacations to the Caribbean, the only 1 to skydive, the only 1 who likes heights, i like to play the old games like monopoly, they like watching tv, i don't, the only 1 who assists the handicapped & elderly & all together, i just think about life different than they do. they are more party oriented & follow the social crowd in that way. my twin became born again thru me around 10 years ago. we are not identical in looks.

My friend has identical twins but they don't look identical . The identicalness is at the DNA level . I never knew it was possible to have identical twins that didn't look the same until he had them . They r genetically identical but not physically , they do look similar but defo not the same . I also know pair of identical twins that r both downed syndrome but they don't look exactly alike either .

My brothers who are twins are not identical they are fraternal but they do look alike to those who don't know them very well.

I can always tell them apart, but I cannot tell my twin cousins apart! (also boys) It is sort of embarassing because they are so similar that I have to ask who is who. They both like computers and are gamers, and work in IT and from home...

I am very different from my sister although, our differences sort of balance themselves out. Chinese have this philosophy of ying and yang which is like opposites but in harmony. I think it would be hard to explain here and too foreign for a lot of Christians to accept.

God never casts any shadow He's just pure light, but humans have their shadows and dark sides.
