Raises another question.......how many still get dressed up to go to church? Or funerals.....or weddings?
I don't think I have ever been to any of those without a coat and tie on, but I may be the only one. I like my bib overalls as much as anyone, but I don't wear them to church or funerals. Yea and the kids now days??!! Geez cut off shorts and sandals. If you question it the parents say " better be glad they even showed up" That's on them I think...

I wear my good overalls to church with a clean shirt.
good overalls = newer not messed up worn out , holes , or oil stains.
I f I really get dressed up I have a jacket to wear with my overalls
Ties , never choking hazard not safe

The church I go to, I wear clean jeans and casual clean shirt. Very seldom see anyone in our church wearing a suit and tie. And I always conceal carry, as do some of the others I know of. Our pastor is from Texas and says he encourages parishioners to carry.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.

had a priest who wasted a sermon on how we weren't reverent enough wearing our casual cloths to church.
when the bishop decided to take the wine from all but feast days because we weren't reverent enough I left the church that Sunday and never returned
some how I am less reverent that the pedophile in the front row in his shirt and tie. yeah didn't go back there.
shame many nice people there.
I didn't know the guy in the front row in his shirt and tie was raping his daughters till a couple years later when they sent him to prison for it. nor was he the reason I left.
what you wear just doesn't matter to me , you deeds do.

Once they start with coffee and donuts in the kitchen then its not long til they are in the sanctuary, and not the kids either. Policing that is like an old mother hen. 40 years ago we had a lady that was totally against adding on a kitchen then in the end she bought the refrigerator. If she saw a kid that even looked like they was heading for the sanctuary she was on them. Then once in a revival she was eating candy while the choir was singing. Afterward I asked her about her no eating in the service and she said it was for strength, so I guess if the old set the example why should we expect the young to be any different. We have a couple of 40 year olds that keep their hat on during the preaching. It bothers me but I usually keep it, but when I see kids abused because their parents were no good is usually when I blow up and my teeth get set on edge and I don't have a tooth in my head!
Went to a singing and they had 3 young ladies about 6 foot tall with short dresses and when they would sit all I could see was legs in front of me. I considered maybe it was my sin to be looking so I spent the 1 1/2 hrs looking out the window.
My conclusion is the church has gone worldly and the world has gone churchy.

As very much old school it bothers me to see how relaxed or casual much of the country has become. When the usher at church is wearing a Buffalo Bills T shirt, woman wearing jeans with big holes in them, or short shorts that's too much.Women no longer wearing maternity dresses or girdles, just let it all hang out. Men wearing baseball caps in church or in a restaurant shows lack of respect and lack of a proper up bringing. To say "at least they are there" is a kop out. Manners and morals have deteriorated too. How about beautiful women covered in tattoos? How about bad language acceptable on TV? I know that I'm an old fart, but when is enough? When God says so.

I’m just going to be glad when the church doors open back up.

I believe this has hurt the churches. There will be some that won’t come back. Do you suppose those not returning feel that churches showed a lack of faith by closing their doors or that those folks have just gotten use to not going to church?
