It just occurred to me....professing (and all others too) women shouldn't flaunt their ugly neither. ;D Lot's of that going on these days.

Read the Song of Solomon.
He honored the beauty of a woman....
Women were not created to be bound and gagged with plainess and unattraction. Those that think it is a REQUIREMENT for salvation, err in scripture.

S of S is full of metaphors............not to be taken literally. It is quite possible that Solomon loved many women who were more beautiful on the inside than they were on the outside. His song is a love song; may not be about the 'ideal' physical beauty at all. But a song written about someone he loved. He had many women. Maybe the song is about the one who was his best lover.........

The uglier a woman is on the outside, the prettier she is on the inside.

The uglier a woman is on the outside, the prettier she is on the inside. But they are exceptions, you must agree. Some women are prtty ugly inside and outside. ;D

I heard that the book Song of Songs was metaphoric for Christ and His bride.

I haven't seen it on this thread but it might be there. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And the same for ugliness. I guess Cherie's post could be correct. I am a hooter person and like to see the gals show what they have. But, yes, I think they hide their wares and maybe the men workers, some of them, hint they should. I liked one at convention this past year because she was built and even her "buttons" showed. Now that is my type and I am sure others too especially the younger males.

do you walk around naked all day? or do you walk around in the cloths you were created in? your comments do show your ignorence in what God is really concerned about. I wonder do you know how grace is shown? would you consider it is by outward appreance? Ah... to walk around naked and in the birthday suit. At the same time! Now that's talent. What is wrong with nakedness? Are you going to go to Africa, South America, and all the other places where people regularly walk around in near nakedness and tell them to cover up? Do you think those people see nakedness as a religious shame? I'd say they are a bit less worried about what some obscure god thinks about nakedness. So what is god worried about? All we have are writings by humans. Sure, inspired by god or some vision. But, in the end written by humans. And you know the real kicker? They reflect the general customs of the thousands of other people in the world at the time. It is not unique to god, the children of Israel, Christians, etc... whoever you want to label as the "good biblical people". So, do you know what god wants? Grace? That's the ease at which someone can perform a task despite the inherent difficulties of the task and the surrounding environment. ;D Outward appearance certainly can have something to do with it. But not always. Look at Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler. Talk about ugly, but listen to them croon. andy

There is no 'sin' (however you have redifined that) to be covered. If someone wants to be naked why should that be of any concern to anyone else, baring health and hygine reasons? BTW - just to stop this thought - "uncover the nakedness of" is the Hebrew idiom for "have sexual relations with". Sort of like "sleeping with" someone when there is not a lot of sleeping going on.

It's great. If this god created us, then he created the beautiful women (and men). But then he turns around and says "don't show what I gave you"? Or, maybe it's the ugly workers saying that. teehee andy How do you identify and ugly worker? Please take me to the nearest, and ugliest worker. thanks

A WHOLE lot more than enhancing the outside....and I'm not even in the f&w!
I decided to personally examine this question in more depth. Now I've decided to post the approximated results, to clarify that people outside the f&w do NOT necessarily make major time and financial investments into outward appearance:
Outward Physical Enhancement (excluding clothing)
Total Yearly Time Expenditure - 244 hours Total Yearly Financial Expenditure - $500
COMPARE - When I was in the f&w, the outward totals were(excluding clothing)
Total Yearly Time Expenditure - 234 hours (reduced by 10 hours of salon time) Total Yearly Financial Expenditure - $136 (reduced by $364 spent on perms, jewellery, cosmetics) _______________
Inward Spiritual Enhancement (excluding personal financial offerings)
Total Yearly Time Expenditure - 2,232 hours or 93 days Total Yearly Financial Expenditure - $3,700
COMPARE - When I was in the f&w the inward totals were(excluding personal financial offerings)
Total Yearly Time Expenditure - 609 hours or 25 days Total Yearly Financial Expenditure - $100
Blessings, Linda

LOL Linda... love the break down. I've seen some women at convention spend HOURS on their hair, looking just right. I prefer to get a few highlights, have my bangs trimmed, straighten it and wear it down (and wash it every other day). Second day hair takes no time to fix at all. (Wake up and brush!) Anyway..... I enjoy looking all purty.

Do away with hairspray, perfume and....better toss the deodorant, too. Whew! "You're inviting me to come to some of your meetings?" The professing womens look promotes, "I'm proud I'm so humble."

Truth be told, I have seen many young 2x2 girls who dress fashionably: stylish gowns, denim skirts; hair up...but put up in attractive ways. It seems to me that a minority of the young professing women style their appearance in the Mother Hubbard mode, which is still common among the older sister workers & friends. Where do the sister workers get those dowdy old dresses....?

Um....... right cowboy.
Anyway- I agree "truth be told"... I know many fashionable 2x2 girls. I also know quite a few who pile on the makeup a bit too much.. so it goes both ways. I was wondering about the dowdy dresses the other day. I wonder if they are passed down through the generations of worker ladies?
But, really, there is something about a gal who can pull off beauty without looking too made up and flashy. I think it's got a lot to do with confidence and the way a woman carries herself.
As for me, I've got to quit slouching.

Good posture does soo much more than just make a person look better; it affects the whole body and health. Most of us could do well with better posture.

This kind of thinking is what led to the burqa and other insane oppression against women. Stoning them for getting raped, for example. Madness. Given the political opportunity, do you reallly think the Pat Robinsons and other fanatics would NOT impose similar madness>
