Because Pentecostal women  go by a dress code, do they turn down a high pay career if required to wear pants?

Pentecostal women are no different than anyother woman in the workplace. They are protected by laws that state they cannot be discriminated against. I work with many Pentecostals, and have not noticed that they are held to any stricture besides modesty. \n\nFurthermore, there are Pentecostal women that are employed in many professional areas. Religious preference does not mean you are poor, uneducated, and have thirty kids hanging around your skirts. \n\nMy boss, a doctor, is a very nice woman. She was a Pentecostal when she went to school, and still is. She still dresses modestly and in dresses or skirts, even in the O.R., and it doesn't seem to have destroyed her possibility of getting a high pay job...

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Your question is a good one, and a concept that is often misunderstood by the rest of the world. \n\nAll adult members, male and female, of the church who enter the Temple are required to wear garments. They are white (similar to an undershirt and briefs) to symbolize purity and knee length to help assure modesty in dress and action. They are symbolic of Paul's words to put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:13). The garment is an outward expression of an inward covenant, much like a member of the clergy who wears a collar or a Christian who wears a cross. They also serve as a reminder of the covenants that we have made to be disciples of Christ, being obedient and faithful to our Savior's teachings. They are not intended to be secret, only sacred.\n\nI hope that this helps. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

So what if I wear a toupe, women's thongs, and have irregular and bloody bowel movements! I do the work of God when I blow my regulars, just like the priests!

I definitely wore the pants in my last relationship but my significant other wears the pants in my current relationship. I like it that way.\n\nHowever, no I am not a doormat. Just because I don't wear the pants doesn't mean that he wipes his feet all over me. I'm not dead or stupid.

Personally, I'm turned off by this fashion statement--most of the time.  Some women are built to wear these types of pants and others definitely not.\n\nIt's a real turn-off to get the butt crack or the thongs.  What's really bad is when women wear these pants in a professional work setting.\n\nOne major problem is that manufacturers stock the shelfs with **their** perception of the latest style and if women (or men:  please get rid of the pink dress shirts!) want to keep up to date on fashions, they are somewhat forced to buy what is available.\n\nYou bring up a good point, though.  Why do women wear high heels in winter?  Why do women wear very long finger nails in a work setting and then have to be extra cautious (reducing their productivity) when type or doing most activities?  Why do men wear baggy pants and then spend half their time (again, reducing productivity) pulling up their pants?

As a pastor, I appreciate it when people wear clothes to church.  If people came naked, it would distract others from paying attention to my preaching.  \n\nMany churches do not care what type of clothes you wear to church, just that you wear something and that you come to church.  God doesn't care about our filthiest rags or our finest suits, He loves us for what's on the inside, not what's on the outside.

Yes they do. If your a good mormon and wear your magical underwear then you can be a God when you die! Also Jesus and Satan are brothers and God has a wife. These people are real flakes!

well the amish live without electricity. they have very strict rules about religion and their group standards. women do not wear pants, they cannot wear showy colors (black, browns, blues only) they work very hard constantly.  when an amish turns a certain age, they are allowed to experiment with other cultures to decide what they want to be for their lives. there are so many things about the amish, i would get a book about them

God doesn't care what you are wearing on the outside. It is the inside He is concerned about. Where I go to church, no one is concerned about what you are wearing. They are just happy to see you there. Find a good church that feels the same way. Good luck and God Bless!

Doesn't matter what church it is.  You're entering the house of God, so it would be nice of you to wear something respectful.  Also, you should ask yourself, for whom are you wearing these boots over pants' legs, for people or God?

Actually, I do wear my parents' hand-me-down clothes (I have a really comfy flannel from my grandpa, in particular)...\n\n...but I sure as hell don't wear their religion.

If you go to any of the BYU's there are. Brigham Young University Provo, Idaho and Hawaii all have strict dress codes  (Idaho the most so with rules such as no sandals and no capris) and you can get kicked out of their schools for not following their dress codes. I know that guys can get kicked out of having too long of hair or facial hair unless they get special permission. These dress codes even carry over to their place of residence. To go to BYU you have to live in BYU approved housing which makes you follow the same set of rules. Even if you don't go to BYU but you live in BYU approved housing you have to follow all the rules including dress code.

I don't, but you have to be careful what kind of pants you wear and under what conditions you'd be wearing them.

Because we live in the twenty-first century. Stop trying to drag us back into the dark ages.\n\nOnly the most conservative out there actually believe that women should not wear pants (or that they shoud be shrouded in a burqua). It's time to realize that this is one of the sillier aspects of religion with no basis in any sort of rational thought.

I was raised Roman Catholic, and, years ago, women had to cover their heads when entering a Catholic Church.\n\nThis has now changed.\n\nI think it is good that anyone, man or woman, simply GOES to church, anymore.\n\nI do think that men and women, both, should dress appropriately if going to any place of worship (church, temple, mosque). It's not a disco or a bar, fer cryin out loud! Wear the nicest clothes that you have. Even if the best you can manage is a t-shirt and jeans, make sure that you are as clean and neat as possible - but GO!\n\nPersonally, I do not think that women should be required to cover their heads. When men are in a place of worship their minds should be on worship, not the desirability of the women, however they are dressed. That is the men's responsibility, not the women's, in my opinion!
