We will soon be deluged with whacko FReepers who will argue that it's OK to show up naked to church or wearing bondage gear or whatever because (1) it is Pharisaical to ask people to behave with respect during worship or (2) "at least they went to church" as if the community of believers should be happy that someone came to their congregation in order to insult them.
This is the same guy who said about his daughter, "Jessica never tries to be sexy. … She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she’s sexy in both. She’s got double D’s! You can’t cover those suckers up!"
Pastor Joe was Professor Simpson at my University when I was in college. We all knew him and he was weird back than as well.
It all depends on how "young" they were when the offenses occurred.
If they were below the age of 14, blame the parents. Between the ages of 14 and 18, blame them all. After the age of 18, blame the kid because at that point you'd expect they'd have figured out how to dress for church.
Then why display practically every inch of what's on the outside?
There's hope for America.
I have worn flip-flops to church. But we were poor at the time and it was either that or go barefoot.
Why on earth would you wear a bikini unless you just wanted to cause a stir?
"And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
------ lead guitar ------
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?"
loosely translated..i was trying to make a buck off of em so i didnt care
I kept reading this article and the quote by Pastor Joe and it seems clear the article is wrong.
Pastor Joe did not say his daughters wore bikinis to church. He said "when we were in church work."
Of course the MSM does not know the difference between being in church and being in church work, but most FReepers do. Depending on your POV, its either too bad the article got it wrong; that the Simpson girls never actually showed up at church in a bikini, or ....
.... Thank God they didn't.
Our Pastor would tell the congregation that church was not a mall. Dress like you know the difference. His church grew so much, it was splitting at the seams.
dress us wimmin up in burkas ping
Sorry...still catching my breath here....Jessica Simpson...bikini....Wow.
But in church? Not cool. Not cool at all.
I wear underwear to church.
