Ex-minister had no intention of outraging my modesty, says lounge promoter
2008-04-24 02:34:00 FM: It seems that the new politically correct way to refer to GROs nowadays are lounge promoters :) I wonder who is the ex-minister being referred to, anybody have any idea?KUALA LUMPUR: The woman who alleged that a former Cabinet minister had outraged her modesty now wants to withdraw her report, claiming she “misunderstood” the incident. The 30-year-old promoter at a lounge in a five-star hotel here, in a statutory declaration sent to Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail through her lawyer Datuk Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said she was “sensitive and moody” at the time of the incident last Thursday. She said she had known the former minister over the past five years, and that he had acted in jest without any bad intention. However, she said she felt offended at that time due to her “complicated mood which led to her lodging a police report the next day. “I realise now that I may have misunderstood the entire episode that took place last Thursday. “When he jokes, ...

Teen Modesty in a Culture of Seduction
2008-03-15 18:03:00 Remember the crazy fads in the late 60’s and 70’s? The tie-dyed shirts, the beads, headbands, and the peace symbols? When I was in high school my dad hated my bushy sideburns and long hair, my purple bell bottoms and boots that came up over my knees. It was a fad to look like the rock idols of the day and that look was in. My dress made no sense to my parents, but it made a lot of sense to me at the time. I bet there are things your parents didn’t like about the way you dressed as a teenager. Chances are, you don’t still dress that way, and when you look at those old pictures you may giggle, as I do, about how foolish you looked back then. Today, I mostly hear from concerned parents of teenage girls who want to dress too seductively. They wonder how to deal with the issue of seduction when it has become so pervasive in our culture. Teens today live in a world of sexual innuendo, where outward packaging and presentation is all important. The...

The Fashions of Godliness
2008-01-09 23:01:00 The issue of modest dress is a constant battle for Christian women today. This is an issue not only for new Christian ladies but also for ladies that have been saved for many years. Is it because pastors no longer feel that modesty is important? Is it because the feminist movement has woven its way into the lives of Christian women today? It is time that we realize that the way we clothe ourselves is important to God for several reasons.Women can cause men to stumble.The way that ladies adorn themselves has a direct impact on their brothers in Christ. When they wear clothes that accent the shape of their bodies in any way it can cause men to stumble in their own life. Ladies can create a temptation for men to lust, to falter in their relationship with their wife, and to fail in their personal walk with the Lord.?It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.? ~Romans 14:21According to Webster?s 1828 ...

Take a bow.....
2008-01-08 23:50:00 The warm water tumbled over my shoulders, soothing, calming, satisfying.If I could smell, I feel certain the lavender bubbles now scrubbing the grime from by body would have gone straight to my brain adding to the euphoria quickly consuming me.As it was, it just felt good to be getting clean, so good I added a shave.Yep. There's nothing like a good shower to revitalize and invigorate tired, sore and smelly muscles.Over all to soon, I stepped onto the warm tile floor and reached for my towel.At this very moment the cheering began.Zia, Zander and Zella rose from their seats on the window ledge and stood atop the box radiatorarms raised triumphantly with shouts of "Hooray for Daddy.""Thanks, guys. Now......can I have my towel?""Not until you take a bow," replied Zia.Suddenly, I felt dirty again. *note to self--FIX THE LOCK ON THE BATHROOM DOOR!

modesty
2007-09-04 16:48:00 Titus 2: 3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. "A woman with a gentle and quiet spirit is not only precious to God, but she is attractive to others also. She dresses appropriately, but it is her inner adornment that is noted because she is secure and at rest within her spirit." Cynthia Heald I do not understand why more Christian women do not follow modest guidelines with their clothing, or teach their daughters the proper way for a young lady to dress. My daughter has always had a bent towards fashion and design so we have never been prudes with what she is allowed to wear as long as it is modest. If she wears a spaghetti dress, she must wear a tan...

Girls Return to Modesty
2007-07-16 14:00:00 An article at msnbc.com, presents a topic of ?A new 'modesty movement' aims to teach young women they don't have to be bad, or semiclad.??Consider the following style tips for girls: skirts and dresses should fall no more than four fingers above the knee. No tank tops without a sweater or jacket over them. Choose a bra that has a little padding to help disguise when you are cold.?Apparently Pure Fashion has the idea that: ?They cater to what writer Wendy Shalit claims is a growing movement of "girls gone mild"?teens and young women who are rejecting promiscuous "bad girl" roles embodied by Britney Spears, Bratz Dolls and the nameless, shirtless thousands in "Girls Gone Wild" videos.?The article goes on to say that: ?ModestApparelUSA.com, ModestByDesign.com and DressModestly.com all advocate a return to styles that leave almost everything to the imagination.?To this I say ?

Help with Modesty
2007-02-19 20:54:01 Recently I came across an interesting survey compiled by The Rebelution, a blog run by two Christian teenage brothers who are rebelling against our culture’s low expectations of teens. Their blog is an excellent resource for teens who are serious about pursuing God and serving Him. Anyways, they did an onine survey of over 1600 Christian guys of various ages on the topic of modesty. The goal was to assist Christian women be a help to Christian men in the area of modesty. The survey allowed men to anonymously point out how potentially harmful certain types of clothing are to them. The specific questions for the survey were brought up by over 200 different Christian women who raised them. Its really kind of hard to describe in words, so you better just go see the survey results. This seems like a great tool to help Christian women dress in ways that help Christian men stay mentally pure. This survey is not designed to be a cureall. And obviously, men are culpable for thei...

Leaders: Girls must be taught modesty can be fashionable
1994-11-05 01:04:00 Posted on Nov 24, 2004 | by Theresa ShadrixANNISTON, Ala. (BP)--On the heels of ABC's decision not to renew its annual television contract with the Miss America pageant, the issue of modesty has emerged as a center-stage issue with Christians. This year, contestants were featured in revealing swimsuits in the on-stage competition, and were placed in hot tubs during their pre-recorded introductions.The reduction in modesty did not yield the pageant the extra exposure it had hoped to achieve. Instead, Miss America received its lowest television ratings in its 50-year history.Only 10 girls opted for the more modest optional swimsuit, while Miss America, Deidre Downs, donned the two-piece string bikini for the judges and the audience. Downs viewed the swimsuit competition as a reflection of physical fitness and told Baptist Press she tried not to think about what she was wearing before the airing of the competition. "I just thought about what I would wear to the beach," Downs said.The ...
