Most people who actually attend church these days dress for whatever activity they doing directly after services. If going to the big game, they wear their team regalia.
It’s depressing.
The team regalia at my former church has become so bad I want to renounce my United States citizenship in order to apply for Dutch citizenship. Even caused me to ban Fox & Friends this week (one anchor and I were in school together, I was in the Arts and Sciences, the anchor was in Journalism) and must watch MSNOW Morning Joe. UGH! (One year it was so bad I became my voice teacher’s Magda Sorel from six months prior, was forced to starve on Thanksgiving, plead my case and forced to starve that I wept openly, wanting to eat but banned at the table — wanted to kill myself in the Sorel family kitchen gas oven. I ended up with a PB&J at 12:02 AM Friday and the fancy dinner we had wasn’t allowed for me.) Paid for it and not allowed to eat. Felt like Magda Sorel.
Thankful that church has been always wear a jacket and tie. ALWAYS. I’d rather have Ailes Era Fox & Friends for the dress code in church. You have to be dressed if you are attending the early service, especially with the Governor or my Representative in church (I often speak to my Congressman in church). I was run off the local church and drive an hour away because of the “Felkel Incident” when an extended family member questioned sotierological changes (Baptist church going more Methodist, and now they use liberal Baptist material for their choral and youth music ministries, but their services are led by singing Steven Furtick and Bill Johnson every Sunday).
At that church locally, nobody cared to wear jackets because they wanted to hear their band perform hits.
