Never! When I left the meetings and started wearing trousers around the city, I dreaded meeting professing people; it took some years for that anxiety to abate. I do not believe those muslim women who state they "choose to wear the niqab", burka etc It is more likely due to the peer pressure and that abandoning the dress code conveys the person to be an apostate. Am unsure how strict the uniform code is now, as have seen professing women (of course) in a range of dress styles including some young still in amish styled clothing up the street, to mini-skirts at funerals.

A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.”
Winston Churchill got it right. I'll agree with him. Ban trousers. Maybe he was also a DOM.

Magpie you never conformed to the uniform. You were always trendy the way you dressed. Remember when you wore the pink shirt and the pointy toe shoes at convention back in the 50's. That caused a stir, and maybe why we were told from the platform, to follow the fashion afar off. Talking about Magpies, we have a plague here at the moment. Counted 20 on the front lawn the other morning. They wake me up at day light with their warbling. Sure kick up a noise, all talking at once. The other problem is they crap all over the place, on outdoor furniture, back deck, car, etc. Have to clean it up every day. Have to wear that hat when I go outside, to catch the fall out. Sure am glad that Elephants don't fly. As I thought about these things about which our brother spoke this morning, it called to mind a few verses of scripture that have meant a lot to me of late. I think it was scripture. Maybe it was Robert Frost or Aiden Shaw or Judy Garland... I'm not sure... but it meant a lot to me and I'd like to think it will mean something to you as well. It reminds me of that song we often sing, "God in heaven hath a ... something...." anyway, it goes something like this: Birdie birdie in the sky Dropped some whitewash in my eye. I no holler; I no cry; I just glad that cows don't fly. I just want to be keep my vision clear and be a better fruit in coming days. Amen.

Like it Gene. Lots of whitewash would give better fruit.

I think the women should be allowed to wear leggings to meeting. Oh, by the way do the Amish women wear bloomers?

Usually dark. Ironic... The black stockings can now be used to make sure you're somewhat modest and wear shorter skirts! . If the great grandparents could see today's fashions, they'd temporarily take off their crowns of glory, and come down here and tell all y'all rebellious women off! Which is probably one reason why when we die, we're dead. Can't interfere with the living with outdated ideas!
