[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care one bit.  No one needs to be dressed up to attend church.[/quote]

Why did everyone dress up for church in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s? You don't think that looked much nicer? You don't admire a random good looking family wearing their Sunday best if you see one on a Sunday afternoon? Come on, we all do.

This erosion of effort and appearance and coming to church in casual clothes seems to be a relatively new phenomenon.[/quote]

I can say this, my current church has a much higher attendance of teens since they can dress comfortably.  Just because things were done in the past doesn’t make a change bad.  There will always be those who dress up. Mind your own business.[/quote]

Back in the 90s my parents used to fight my brother every weekend to get him dressed for church.  It made everything super stressful and definitely didn't turn my brother into a church goer.[/quote]

I'd bet anything the children who are allowed to come to church like slobs are exponentially more likely to cease church attendance when they can (age 18, college, moving out of the house). If their parents never took the church seriously, why would they? It doesn't take money to be tidy, shave, brush hair, put on a collared shirt, tuck your shirt in, and iron your slacks.[/quote]

What's interesting and there are a lot of coaches in high school, travel, and college who demand their student-athletes dress up for game days and travel. None of the sports crazy parents complain about that! But dressing nice for an hour a week for your religion is asking too much?[/quote]
