What are some things that are banned/taboo/not allowed in your church?
Worldly things banned by the Holiness Church (Shelby County, AL): dancing, card playing, wearing natural hair, woman on top, lip gloss, pants, thongs, bright colored cars, no radio on sunday, baby showers for unwed mothers, parties, selling/fundrasing, red fingernal polish, Halloween
Yall, I almost DIED when I heard about the lip gloss banning.
The belief is that lip gloss makes your lips look too sexual and when men look at your thick, bright, shiny, luciously wet lips..........it brings about lustful thoughts of the female giving him oral sex. Lip gloss is a tool of Jezebel to lead men astray and causes young girls to become victims of sexual harrassment.
Another thing that is banned in the Holiness church and most Baptist churches is women sitting on the front pews of the church; that is VERY distracting to the pastor and deacons.
Also the issue of dancing didn't sit too well with me. Alot of Christians don't go to clubs so as an alternative some Christain youth groups (in AL) are promoting "Christian Salsa Night". You come eat, pray, and dance at the church.
It sounds all good and clean to me. Yet, some people believe that this activity is sinful, simply because it is dancing.
Anway, these are just some of the things that are banned in my family's churches. Do you think there is any basis for any of these rules?

), no red polish or lipstick (this was considered a sign of a harlot), oh my goodness the list can go on. And yes on Sunday...all we could do is go to church in the morning, come home eat , take a nap and go to church again and then come home and get ready for your next day. NO radio..etc. But once we moved from this placed and onto a Southern Baptist church things changed...I saw people in the church with jeans and polos...I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I personally don't agree with alot of the things I initially grew up with now, because I feel that alot of things were overboard...wait, I'll finish this in a bit...I gotta run
No offense to anyone, but it seems like a lot of natural women (not all) are into their own "spirtuality".
