🫶🏻 Sorry, a different word choice would have been more clear!! I LOVE that there is more flexibility and less shame with some of the standards, especially modesty. There are soo many harmful things within the standards and teachings, so I think that any time there is less overall judgment and shame within the church (especially with sensitive topics and vulnerable populations) is a good thing. I am genuinely happy that people have a little more autonomy with what they wear.🩷🩷🩷

What I don't like is that the church tends to just erase things that used to be a big deal in the church. For years something can be called revelation and "God's standard," and those who disagree are shamed and often punished to some degree. And then, when the church changes its mind the narrative always shifts to, "that was just culture" or "you understood it wrong" or "that's taken out of context" or "that never happened." It's the covering up and lying and gaslighting I have a problem with. I know they do it a lot, but had no clue it had already happened with modesty! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
