"A lady of the faith should oblige the gym by wearing tight fitting clothing so as not to have anything that could get caught in the machinery"

An Orthodox Jewish woman is suing the Lucille Roberts health-club chain for allegedly pitching a holy fit when she insisted on wearing a skirt during her workouts in Brooklyn. Yosefa Jalal, of Crown Heights, claims in court papers to be filed Friday that she was repeatedly harassed, threatened with arrest and ultimately had her membership revoked for following religious dictates regarding female modesty.

So you think that Jesus would be just fine with the modern idea that young women should publicly expose their bodies in an erotic manner?
Go to a Sharia gym, what should you expect.
What do you mean “so...”?
I ask because I didn’t say that.
Why is it so "certain" she wore skirts the whole time? That's not certain to me at all and the article does not suggest this.
DANG!
The way I heard it is:
Q - Why don’t Baptists believe in having sex standing up?
A - It might lead to dancing.
(My favorite joke, BTW.) I was 25 years old the first time I danced, went to a movie, or tasted wine.
you fergot to delete it off my phone. Its not the best one of you but it serves for keeping with this thread. What the other freepers may not know is that your mind is as amazing as your vehicle.

Oh, you sweet talker you. :)

I specifically said that the women I was talking about held “unreasonable” notions about what is modest.
You deliberately ignored what I said just so you could attack me.
Send a Muslim broad in wearing the burqa and all will be forgiven.
(I'm picturing you doing head-fakes, and dribbling circles around all these really tall women, wearing your shorts which reached all the way down to your ankles!) :-)
Giggity.
I have no problem with people practicing their religious faith. Why is it necessary to insist that others believe and practice like you? IF I were to insist act everyone else practice to my liking then you would not be adhering to orthodox Judaism.
Note that I suggest that if you wish to live that life then do what the Amish do and separate yourself from the rest of society.
“the form of her body”???? Really then why not just wear a burqua???
I will not argue religious understandings with you because I live in a country that allows others to practice their faiths. I will however INSIST that the MINORITY (which you are) allow the rest of us to do the same
Apparently you missed the entire rest of my post....hence I will not bother with a response to your inane question
I did not ever say that I accepted scantily clad anything .... I live in a country that allows for religious liberty....that does not mean that those with minority views and understandings get to dictate to the majority.
Why are you making an argument that I never suggested??? You pull a straw man argument out of no where and throw that around like it means something.
IF you wish to live an ‘orthodox’ life then go find an ‘orthodox’ community or country. Religious liberty does NOT mean you get to impose your beliefs on others
This is just intolerant and mean spirited - (liberal).
Why does it bother anyone else if a woman works out in a different get-up. Just because you may have the power to demand conformity like an Islamist, Soviet or Nazi, does not mean that is the way Americans should be in character.
We are a people who believe in individual freedom and liberty born of the tradition of the constitution. Those who don’t, should move to China where they can get the conformity and State persecution of those who are religious, they so deeply cherish.
If this anti-freedom business place was near to me, I would harass the hell out of them for their intolerance and abuse of power. I’d make it my volunteer project to see them out of business. And they would go.
In many ways these are the same practices that fundamentalist Muslim practise
You are pretty stupid about life and you need to face this truth about yourself. Ignorance often insults and hates. It is not a way to be in a Nation of freedom.
The gym is correct. Wear the correct clothes or workout elsewhere.
I NEVER said I had a problem with anyone wearing what they want (for whatever reason ).
What I have a problem with is people who want to scream and sue over things that are personal choices and beliefs.
