[Thread about dresses vs pants]
I know some people say that there are some activities you cannot do in a skirt or culottes and be modest. I would agree. For example, I could see how it would be hard for a woman to be a skydiver in a skirt and be modest. I can see how it would be impossible for a woman to perform acrobatics in a skirt and be modest. I have heard people say it is hard to climb a tree in a skirt and be modest (I've also heard of girls climbing trees in a skirt ). I would suggest this: if you cannot do something in a skirt and be modest, perhaps you shouldn't do whatever that 'something' is. I'll give you an example: Kellie loves to go to waterslides. I love to swim. It is impossible for us to go to a water park or the beach and keep me from seeing things I shouldn't. It is also difficult for Kellie to go down a waterslide and be modest. So, we don't do waterparks. We have chosen to sacrifice pleasing our flesh for the sake of pleasing God.

Do you have any life at all?, do you live in the Middle Ages, for God´s sake?. And what about men?, aren´t they entitled to be modest too?
First he says Kellie "loves to go to waterparks", but then "we don't go...". Sounds like Kellie isn't "choosing" for herself, is she?
But I agree that the author should not go to waterparks himself, not until he grows up and learns to conduct himself around other adults and their children, regardless of what they wear. He comes across as a potential kiddie-fiddler.
I had this crazy notion that Bro. Horny over there was going to say "It's impossible for us to go to a water park or the beach and be modest," but that would be crazy of me. That, while still ludicrous, would imply some sort of duty on Randy.
Instead, he avoids water because his wife and other women would wear immodest clothing and tempt him. What a freakshow.

OK, was anyone else here highly sketched out by that comment in particular? If one cannot be trusted to look at another person in a bathing suit while remaining in control of oneself, then said person needs to see a psychologist ASAP.
If you are so lacking in self-control that you can't so much as see a woman in a swimsuit without acting on any urges it might put in your mind, then perhaps psychiatric treatment is in order. If, on the other hand, you fear even having the urge in the first place, then you are denying your nature as a sexual being. With the appropriate self-control, there is no reason even the most devout Christian shouldn't be able to go to a waterpark.
Not, of course, that Bro. Randy and the Thought Police over at T4C will listen to such logic. ^_^
JaredM "Tell me, how is Bro. Randy's version of Christianity different from Taliban-style Islam?"
Doesn't support that nonsense of the muezzin howling from the top of the tower at an insanely early morning hour, calling believers to the first prayer?
... can't think of a more relevant difference ...
Well, Bro. Randy, since you obviously have self-control issues when you see teens & little girls, it's a good thing you don't go to any waterparks, you psychotic child predator.
At least that's more exercise you're not getting, so we can expect you to fall over from a heart attack in a year or two.
No climbing trees? No waterparks? Now I really feel sorry for them. Truly.
OK, let's re-cap what they preach:
- No touching before marriage.
- No walking together or riding the same elevator before marriage.
- No pants-wearing for girls.
- Rape of females by males is totally OK.
- No divorce by women.
- No "immodest" activities.
This is getting scary.
Damn, women can't do anything w/out causing you to lust after them, can they? This should be a sign that you need professional help, and soon .
I have this visceral urge to hope that all of Bro. Randy's kids either...
1. Discover they're gay
2. Star in porno movies
3. Have kids out of wedlock
4. Even better, more than one of the above.
But at least I'm human enough to know that that feeling is so so wrong. Poetic justice, but wrong.
Actually, I saw a website (maybe someone can track it down) the other day that sold special burqas for swimming purposes. Maybe Kellie could wear one of those and be able to go down the waterslide. Of course, we can't guarantee she wouldn't get stuck.

Hey Bro. Randy, would you approve of this? Or is it just too "immodest?" :

*Pictures Bro. Randy naked. Somewhere, a wof howls*
Thank you for that delightful mental image. I'm going to go boil my brain in concentrated bleach now.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
