Let’s be honest. We’re men, and we’re responsible for ourselves. We’re responsible for our thoughts, for our lusts, for our character. We won’t be able to blame the girls when we’re called to give account for it in the judgment day. We won’t be able to say like Adam, “The woman you made…” In fact, the Bible warns us that if our eyes are causing us to offend, it would be better to pluck it out than to allow it to lead us astray. Now you girls don’t want that to happen… Please? We are responsible for bringing these senses into subordination to the will of God. We’re trying. And we get tested every day. That’s our job wherever we are, whether in the world or in church. But quite honestly, we’d rather do our battles with the world than with our sisters in Christ.
yep, thats a good idea. Nevertheless, ladies, let us not be stumbling blocks to our brothers.

I do not presume to know about a lot of things. I merely wish to promote good discussion about some topics that tickle my curiosity. I may be right or i may be wrong, but then, that's my prerogative, isn't it? *grin*
why not offer a prayer for these women you see who are not dressed properly? i think it would be easier if you associate them immediately with God. just don’t forget. if you see a lot of girls dressed that way and you offer them a prayer every time, then, it wouldn’t be too hard for you to resist even if you encounter them everyday.
