It’s a pity the likes of Deeper Life spoil their image just by enabling the cycle of man-made indoctrination (‘don’t wear this; wear a skirt that’s so long it extends to the hell-fire we’re trying to avoid instead; ah, you mustn’t wear that one, o’). As a church itself (putting all the indoctrination aside) it’s perfectly fine, potentially one of the best, but women are really limited when it comes to clothes in churches like that. Guys/men get it too but on nowhere near the same level and it just reeks of oppression that doesn’t need to be there. Pity as the teaching itself is otherwise actually really good but considering there are people who’ll run to the toilet and call the police on a pastor during extended services for “keeping them hostage,” oppressing women in 2023 doesn’t look too good. People wouldn’t even mind staying long as much if they could dress in a way that didn’t make them look like an underpaid house-maid sleeping in long coco-sacs. The police are bound to make an arrest in that church one day but only for crimes against fashion.
I’m just using the church as an example anyway. But I’m sure you catch my drift.
