Welcome to Biblical or NOT Biblical #1

[dawgs10]

Is this manner of dress Biblical or NOT Biblical? Why?

that dress is not either. just stupid looking!!! but im not going to tell those guys that.

[Full Quiver]

I think wearing that little black mask must be sinful.

You posted "I will fight no more, forever." That meant, to me, you decided to end the debate and agree to disagree. I was good with that... until Brian, Racerunner, Oldtimer and his wife opted to keep it rolling.

per PG

You missed some though such as Rambo, Yellowrose, Shellie and Dolfan and yourself. Because those were the ones I was replying to.

Honestly I did not see where you asked us to cease the topic, if you did then I do apologize for adding that part in my post, I do not apologize for standing up for my husband and Bro Chris's reputation.
I have always tried to follow the rules here, your home your rules. I know I don't post often but as I said in my pm to you PG for some reason I can't log in on my laptop, this is hubby's computer for his use and I use it sometimes when he isn't.

Oh Rambo,

I just realized you also accused me of "dissing" your heritage regarding the kilt.

My maiden name is McGriff..(Scotch/Irish)...so I can.

A certain great...great...great...great..?? Grandfather McGriff
and a certain great...great...great...great?? Grandmother Lena Skelly (sp?)....

...sailed into Nova Scotia (not Ellis Island) presumably to escape a potato famine or something.

The rest is history....migrating to Washington State...then to West Texas where they struck oil and became wealthy overnight.

Then our branch of McGriff's packed up and moved to Illinois to wildcat for oil....losing all....settling in Chicago.

My Dad grew up with YellowRose's relatives (Roach?) and left yankee land in his late teens...married a Mississipi wife (Gardner-Dykes) and then moved to Southeast Texas where I grew up.

I married an AL boy...gave up the McGriff name and became a Washburn.

Also, somewhere on my mother's side, we have a red-headed Irishman's genes that keep popping up ever other generation or so.....currently in my son's beard...and occasionaly my temperment.

So my "kilt" heritage is just as long as yours.

Racerunner,

I have bowed out of the debate, but I do have a question. If a kilt is commonly accepted in Scotland as a man's clothing, do you think it is a sin for a man to wear a kilt in Scotland?

Racerunner,

I have bowed out of the debate, but I do have a question. If a kilt is commonly accepted in Scotland as a man's clothing, do you think it is a sin for a man to wear a kilt in Scotland?

If I might expand that question, "do you think it is a sin for a Scottish man to wear a kilt, whether in Scotland or not?"

[Poimen]

I ain't race runner, but I don't think it's a sin for a man (Scott or not) to wear a kilt. Weird perhaps, but not sinful, and not immodest unless it were a mini-kilt.

And, I am curious to see here reply, but unless I am wrong, I don;t think RR was saying it was sinful either. I think she just found it comical to see RP in one.

Of course, since she passively challenged me, I need to find a nice kilt to wear to my next visit to TCOG - Bessemer.

[Shepherd]

Should a man intentionally try to appear feminine or should a woman intentionally try to look masculine? Are there any parameters? If so, what are they?

[Shepherd]

Of course, since she passively challenged me, I need to find a nice kilt to wear to my next visit to TCOG - Bessemer.

Two questions:
1. Who are you laughing at?
2. Would that be appropriate?

HUH? What did I write that offended you?

[Shepherd]

Mine too. But on my dad's side, I am enough Indian that I would need to wear a feather bonnet with my kilt.

[Poimen]

Two questions:

2. Would that be appropriate?

1. Not who -- what. The thought of Sis. Tammy's reaction when she sees me enter the building wearing a kilt.

2. Not sure. I can say I hadn't thought of it as inappropriate.

But then, I was just having a bit of sport with the ol' gal.

[RamboPreacher]

difference of being laughed at and being laughed with.

example one, for those that still don't get the difference:
Special Olympics. Someone can stand back and say something about fighting on the internet and comparing it to the SO, all with a laugh/humor attached - "laughing AT". (rude, and disrespectful)

Or... a family member that is in the SO can be talking with others and reference that same thing; about themselves (understanding full-well it is about them and their handicap), and folks laughing - "laughing WITH". (friendly and jovial)

Example two:
RP posting a picture of himself wearing a camo-kilt in the entertainment forum, about him playing paintball in a kilt, with intention of and in context of being humorous, and others laughing. "Laughing WITH". (friendly and jovial)

RP posting a picture of himself wearing a kilt as part of a wedding ceremony, in complete seriousness, and no humor contextually at all; and people laughing - "laughing AT" (rude, and disrespectful)

Poimen: It's not about the holiness/sanctity of the situation. my point was that it was NOT meant to be a humorous situation/context. you mentioned yourself in a kilt with a smiley icon then even explained that you were intending it to be humorous to someone else - this is "laughing with" them.

My public apologies Shellie, what I meant was you also kept the thread going, what you said in your post in no way offended me, if fact I think it might be a good topic for discussion. Saying these were the ones I was replying to without separating the two thoughts made it sound the way you took it. I did not intend to do that. I also as you can see not good at these quote things, oletimer is trying to teach me but only been able to tell me not show me for lack of time so please bare with me.

Racerunner,

I have bowed out of the debate, but I do have a question. If a kilt is commonly accepted in Scotland as a man's clothing, do you think it is a sin for a man to wear a kilt in Scotland?

Shepherd:

It is not a sin at all ...... anywhere.

Just hilarious looking. Ha! Even in Scotland....but so are the dutch boy outfits and wooden shoes in the other countries. Most traditional national costumes look funny to our modern eyes.

So if you want to sport a kilt at the Assembly...go ahead...just please get a tan....and don't expect me to look at you with a straight face.


But Rambo thinks I was desecrating the sanctity of the marriage vows by laughing at him in his kilt.

But unfortunately....the ugliness of the Bridesmaid's dresses don't affect the sanctity of the marriage vows either. Be glad you're a man!

But I have seen some pix of powder blue tuxes with ruffled shirts that made me grin also.

AND....recenlty I've seen some skimpy bridesmaid's dresses and bride dress that made me blush....so the bridal party attire....although not affecting the vows themselves...certainly "dimmed" the ceremony....so maybe Rambo may have a point there.

In Rambo's case...I just think the guests probably chuckled behind the groomsmen's back.
