may I ask why do you feel the need to wear a suit, especially if you aren't/weren't a pastor? or is that not what you are saying?
Thanks, Brent "RamboPreacher" Hoefling

Since I became self employed over 10 years ago.. I vanquished the suit and tie to the land beyond.. except on extreme special occasions. It turned into a kaki and nice shirt etc. for business meetings and Church.

Since then, I've regressed more... ESPECIALLY at Church as I want to focus on what matters. Religion can take a hike. I'm now blue jeans and pull over until that changes.

Possible scruffy beard :wink:

It has nothing to do with religion at all. I just enjoy wearing suits, I love a nice suit and wear one at church all the time. Most people in our church's do. When I go out to eat and the church crowds show up most of them have suits on as well. NOW i went to my sisters church once and i was the only ne in hundreds that had on a suit.

RAMBO I was a pastor until a few weeks ago. I still preach though , just did sat at youth convention and sunday at another church outside of ronoake VA. I just like suits and enjoy wearing them. Nothing to do with you have to or that it would not be right to. I did want to wear a suit when i preach especially. Friday night i got to convention right after a 5 hour drive and I went straight to church without a suit so it has nothing to do with anything except preference :wink:

I challenge you to take it off for a month and see if it's not related. See how the other church members treat you.

Again, I'm not making a broad statement (you could be the exception).. but just that clean, slick dressed people can appear aloof to the unchurched.

But for fun.. just take the challenge.

for the first 6 plus years i have been a member i never wore a suit so what would a month do :wink: I didnt start really wearing suits until the last few years. I wasnt a suit guy but I bought one a few years ago or I should say one of my boss's bought me a real nice suit with a cashmere winter coat with it and I loved it and from then on I wore suits. I do rather like wearing suits behind the pulpit as well. I should correct myself there are many that dont wear suits in TCOG but ALOT do
beyond that I dont pay attention to ones attire enough to know more then that.

I had a nice suit once, it was absolutely black.

Even though it was very expensive, it picked up hair and lint and dandruff like masking tape.

The ex had this bright idea.

She threw it in the wash.

Now I have a nice black suit that is pajama flimsy.
