Um, I think you have misposted. The quotes you are responding to came from someone else completely and have nothing to do with my posts.
I don't think Melas wants a piece of this. ;)
His mother loved it when we wore those shirts to a reunion prior to her death...she used to be a country and western singer years ago, she toured the country. We only have one set of matching shirts that we wear on special occasions, it's not like we dress up like twins every day. It was her funeral and she would have loved it...who are you to judge?
Or I have too much respect for my friends to expect them to be superficial snobs. For what it's worth, I don't recall what *anybody* at my wedding wore, apart from the actual participants, and I do not care if someone wore jeans. I haven't had my funeral yet, but I promise I won't care then, either.
The top of those boots look like the hat the guard to the City of Oz was wearing.
Quite the contary, I respect everyone the same. I wear jeans or leather pants everywhere. Whether I'm wearing jeans or leather depends entirely on how far I rode to get there, and the temperature outside. No dissrepect meant to anyone. Like I tell my wife:
Yes my wallet does need to be on a chain.
Yes, my t-shirts have to be black
Yes, I have to wear combat boots
Yes, my beard has to be this long
No, my tattoos can't be covered up
No, the earing doesn't come out
And finally, "It's not a hanky it's do-rag and get used to it"
Amen. They have no respect for themselves or anyone else and if you call them on it, you're the one with the problem.
"1 Cor. 5:12: For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?"
What do you believe that Bible quote means?
"... when it comes to the things of G-d, we are call upon, even commanded to exercise G-dly discernment"
So, Tamar1973, you feel you would be excercising Godly discernment by judging someone on what clothes they are wearing? If so, okee dokee.....whatever floats your boat.
For the symphony, I'd advise a dress shirt (no tie unless you feel like it), slacks and a sport coat. Do-able?
Lol, bring it on...
You're gonna make a really cool angel! LOL! Ah, I love it.....
James 2:1-4,9 -- "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? . . . but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors."

I'm wondering how you would react to someone arriving at HD rally on a Honda wearing a suit.
"When I see a person (who's not homeless or hopelessly poor) wearing jeans to churches, weddings, funerals, etc., I see a very selfish person who respects no one, not even themselves."
What happens when you see a person wearing jeans to church who IS "homeless", or "hopelessly poor"? Since you can spot selfish people so well, you might want to ask those well-dressed people in church to go without their new Sunday clothes, and instead, perhaps they could give the money they would have spent on their "outfit" to these hopelessly, homeless poor people. IYIYIYI!
There is nothing prettier than a nice "caboose" packed into a pair of Levi's. IMHO.
IMHO :)
I second that opinion!
I guess that goes with your name, huh?
And self-absorption goes with yours, I guess.
