Hi Jillian,
I was scrolling through a channel and refound the company that came to mind when I first read your thread here. I couldn't remember the name of the company, but here's a brief promo from the Baptist pastor's wife and reposted by someone else. They have 12 children, homeschool and like to swim. If you have parents at your church, they might be interested too. Hope you are well and have a great week.

I would like to encourage you too. I dress modestly, having the same convictions you have stated. I get mocking and scornful looks many times when I go out.
I try to keep the mind that this is my offering to the LORD and seek Him to use the opportunity to reflect His heart to all I encounter.
Hoping that even if I may never get to speak to them that they may see a person that has been changed and filled with the power of the Living GOD, that maybe this would fill them with hope to seek Him with all their hearts and become a child of the KING also.
May the LORD fill you with wisdom and might to be the living witness to His Greatness amidst a wicked and perverse generation.
Shine the Light of Christ!

I think a woman or anyone else for that matter can cover her skin without having to walk around wearing what looks like a cloth trash bag.
The reason behind it is actually so a man won't be tempted to sexually assault her, instead of just making men control themselves, they make women walk around wearing a trash bag

A lot of western women walk around just looking trashy... a bag would be an improvement.
That's true, but it's not un-pragmatic to wear clothes in hot weather; and at least they acknowledge that immodesty is sin... and self-control is not part of the fallen man.
Take a look at what else is "just part of their culture". Just because things are part of a culture doesn't make it not-sin.
As I have already mentioned in this thread, if someone is in extreme poverty and can't obtain or maintain clothes- it's a different story.
Namibia was ranked #2 in the world for their skin cancer death rate, but apparently the Himba avoid this by applying some compound to their skin... that seems pretty smart; but, even if they are poor and adaptive, the fact that Himba men share their wives with other men demonstrates that they have a shameless culture; which is the opposite of what actual modesty is. If poverty is not a factor, Christians will wear clothes- and you can see other Bantu ethnic groups in Namibia that wear clothes.

Every day on my way into work, I listen to Christian radio and the program during the time of my commute features a Christian expert exposing Islamic claims. Going by his accent, he likely grew up (having to become) very familiar with its teachings. Anyway, the most recent episode I caught explained the real reason for the head-to-toe covering is to let Muslim men know they (those wearing it) are "protected" from their (muslim men) legal right to rape them, and anyone not wearing one, no matter how 'modestly' dressed, is "fair game."... It's one of the many religions that "justify" slithery creepiness, while laying the blame on women...truly of that enmity which God told Eve about.
