Sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson got into trouble when they were younger-- for wearing skimpy bikinis to church.
While other churchgoers were decked out in their Sunday best, the singing siblings--whose father Joe used to be pastor--showed up in swimsuits and tiny shorts.
Joe is quoted by MSNBC.com's The Scoop as saying, 'When we were in church my daughters wore bikins and short shorts.'
'People in the church got mad at me for it then, but we believe what is in the heart is more important than what is in the outside.'

Wow you still don't understand why I put that picture up do you? The whole point was to show two black girls wearing confederate flag bikinis. BTW, the other picture was a DRAWING and not someone's daughter. You're bizarre. Here I was apologising but you're an extremist. Of course you can't see what I'm saying because you're blind and up on your little soapbox.
Sorry...still catching my breath here....Jessica Simpson...bikini....Wow.
But in church? Not cool. Not cool at all.
I think a bikini in church IS tasteless. Therefore I won't be wearing one.
Since I am a guy and more than a little overweight, al in attendance should drop to their knees and thank God for that.
Sweetie at least you know me. I'm off this thread. I'll just refrain from any further comments except that this will be the last time you see me unncessarily apologise or extend any christian feeling towards anyone who doesn't appreciate it,
I understand. One of my daughters, now 19, looked 20 when she was 14.......seriously. Unfortunately, put together like a Playboy bunny. Thank God she has a good head on her shoulders and dresses appropriately; she doesn't flaunt her "attributes". Not that we'd allow it, anyway, but still........never had to straighten her out on it.
If she did what other girls in her well-to-do high school did, she'd have dressed like a whore and had young horndogs flocking all over her.
Because she didn't....and made it clear she wasn't some "easy chick" and VERY early on.......she never even got asked out on dates. Truth. She's gorgeous; stops men dead in their tracks....and no one even asked her out because of her morals.
Their loss........my gain (and sanity!!!) as a father.
Don't apologize to her about her statements. Cyborg ranted over us saying it was wrong to dress with your butt crack or vagina showing. She went off and lectured us on "male responsibility" when she forgot the other half of the equasion, female exhibitionism. There is a pathology with a woman who won't stay dressed, and a severe lack of spiritual perception if she attends worship sessions or church activities that way.
Another thing, i stated that cyborg was a moron for putting the mostly naked woman on her site and then lecturing on modesty. Give me a break, she is goofy. Get the lack of clothes down to the pubes pic off her site and then she might want to lecture a little about how "modest" she is in her dress.
Another thing her boyfriend can say what ever he wants about it, but if he isn't, as a christian man, saying that she needs to get that goofy garbage off her site then he is missing it too.
All of this was brought about because that d%&n fool of a dad allowed his daughters to sell their selves through their sexuality. But i have to admit i was surprised to see the sensitivity that was in place when it was mentioned, and that by a "modest" woman.
I guess all those scriptures about not causing someone to stumble are so much crap now in her sight, right?
How sad for me, missing your teaching for the day. What a terrible loss for me.
Bitter, cyberstalking cranks and withered, used-up old biddies who have been kicked off FR and now obsess over it from exile, criticizing and sneering based on the tiny bits of false and falsified information they have on the lives of others; all of it constituting nothing but brazen betrayal masking as jilted friendship.
It's been replaced by pearls of wisdom I've gleaned from this threead, others and life in general.
:D
I cleaned it up before posting. ;O)
"Also I meant to mention...isn't it strange
how the "girls of Hollywood" dress
so scantly, have all kinds on money
but still can't find good wholesome boys
to love and care for them? I remind my boys of this.
This is because good/wholesome boys are taught to stay
clear of those types and find themselves God fearing, pure
girls."
That's so true. I've noticed how even the more wholesome actors won't get seriously involved with them! How perverse. What these actresses and pop starlets don't get is that men would prefer that their serious girlfriends and wives not be jerk off material for millions of others.
I wear underwear to church.
