I can take a joke, but for others not familiar with the event CMBF is referencing, an extremely pervy old dude judging an event I participated in at the law school made the comment in my current signature line. The shirt wasn't revealing and even if I leaned over, I was covered. I did NOT flash anybody. This had nothing to do with the amount of skin I showed and everything to do with a gross old guy.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View Post"You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment

You have GOT to be kidding? (Please be kidding) That is so extreme.Originally posted by ewth8tr View Post
Garmies and sports do not mix...let alone "swimming". Yeesh...if people would just be practical in when/where they wear them...no big deal.
I've seen people try and wear them during sporting activities...and really, it just draws more attention to them, than it is anything else, and really makes us (collectively) seem weird.
I find it humorous if/when people will wear jeans during bball or something just so they can wear them. Crazy. Can't we just be normal?"Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest. Things in motion, tend to stay in motion...."
Hmm... Good motivation for me to remain active I guess.Comment

An older guy I used to play b-ball with (maybe 60 yrs old) wore his Gs during ball. The worst part is, all he wore over the top was a cheap reversible b-ball jersey. And he wasn't wearing a crew neck top either, it was a scoop. I just shook my head ever time. And then I blocked his shot into the 15th row.Originally posted by Borg View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Nope, no joke. He is a very good, compassionate man, but he is very extreme in his beliefs.Originally posted by Borg View Post"I don't mind giving the church 10% of my earnings, but 50% of my weekend mornings? Not as long as DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket is around." - Daniel ToshComment

Why not just wear men's bottoms? They don't have a crazy gut covering band. Maybe they don't have them in the material you like or maybe they aren't in a size small enough for you, but it's an idea.Originally posted by Mrs. Funk View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

The band is definitely better on men's bottoms, but I wear an XS in women's garments. I can't even imagine how comical even the smallest men's garments would look on me.Originally posted by Eddie Jones View Post

If you end up making your own...I want to know how that turns out. Both fit, function and standing!
I can imagine a conversation:
"Yeah, I've got these new bikini garments...their awesome." Says Mrs. Funk wearing her summer attire of short shorts and sleeveless shirt.
Seriously, though..I've never thought about it before, but, if we are truly supposed to be "self reliant"...? I don't know if I've ever heard of a requirement that they have to be "purchased" only garments... interesting...."Newton's First Law of Motion: ...things at rest tend to stay at rest.

As I said above, the church used to provide patterns so that members could make their own garments. Just like they used to provide patterns so they could make their own temple clothes. The precedent is there.Originally posted by Borg View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

I don't know how to say it clearly enough that this isn't about modesty or trying to show more skin. (Though, unrelatedly, I really don't understand what's so scandalous about a woman's shoulders?) The complaint is about the fit and construction of women's garments and that I haven't really met even one woman who hasn't had problems of some nature with them.Originally posted by Borg View Post"You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment

Except if you end up in a fire then you risk burning the areas of your body that are not covered by the garments.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. As long as the garment is in the specifications of what you could buy from the church then why not make your own? There is no special rite or blessing they go through before being shipped out from wherever they are made...at least not to my knowledge.Originally posted by falafel View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Have any of these urban legends regarding garments protecting people from burns, etc. ever been substantiated? Shouldn't we go back to ankle and wrist-length garments if they are supposed to protect our skin, or just start wearing mithril armor under our clothes?Originally posted by Eddie Jones View Post"You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad JudgeComment
