yellowpawpaw: I asked my friend,a dl member how she did her wedding.she said she wore wedding gown,flowers, veil but no make up.did it in jos and all d wedding she has bn attending were like her own.was suprised when I said skirt and blouse,china white etc.she saw d pictures and laughed. That had it bn there was phone during her own time,she will snap and post for her friends and whatever.
She said maybe the skirt and blouse thing or no flower was lagos style bc for almost her 40 yrs in deeper life in d north(jos precisely),she has not seen such.even said d bride looks very beautiful!

bukatyne:

Deep lifers did that and not us. Don't you notice that OlowoTee seems to suggest that the bride dresses that way because Mummy Kumuyi is dead? That the standards have fallen? Did you not see the poster that was the 'friend' of the bride and tried to debunk the pictures?

You mustn't talk to Tpianwam/Tpiababy me like that for me abeg abeg however much she offends you biko.
If she offends you again you can tell me and I will talk to her, okay Baby?

jidegirl12:

You're too nice... the situation of the situation on ground needs a serious situation

bukatyne: I don't understand why some deeper lifers are trying so hard to explain away these pictures. I have read funny points like:

The groom might not be born again
The father might nt have approved
There are different standards of dressing etc.

We all know that other members will never be allowed to wear this. For those saying that they have different standard of dressing across board, does it mean some parishes are holier than others or is there classic and modern parishes? Most dl members have painted the picture that people dressed apart from their way is a sinner. So where is the talk of different standards coming from?

There is no need to explain anything. The couple have wedded the way they like. We pray these privileges is extended to all members so we stop seeing weddings like funeral ceremonies and couples looking like chief mourners.

Image123:
That's the problem, you're seeing deeper lifers and Olowotee but not yourself. You brought up 'holiness'. Why ask if holiness differs because dressing differs? Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks na.

bukatyne:

You are not getting the point or closing your eyes to it. Some Deeper lifers said dressing outside the usual mode of DL dressing is wrong and sinful. Someone even tried to analyse the bride's dressing 'no mascara, no powder, no lipstick' etc. meaning the poster feels those things are wrong. You and co are saying that these things are allowed per location hence the talk of holiness. This means that if a DLer like 'the friend of the bride' relocates to a branch where Love's dressing is deemed modest, she will believe the members have 'backslidden' or 'not born again'.

There are generally two issues on this thread:

1. Non DLers: Is this not hypocritical, would any random member be allowed to dress like this? FYI, we do not see her dressing as wrong. e.g. bukatyne;

2. DLers: There are two schools of thought.

i. Different dressing are allowed in various parishes or areas e.g. image123 etc.;

ii. All DLers dress alike and Love must have backslidden/ not born again/ not married in DL etc. e.g. Olowotee etc. An extreme view is the pictures were photoshopped to cause controversy e.g. friend of the bride

OlowoTee: Bukatyne
Let it go..
Let this slip..off.

It's no point going forth and back on this issue. Atleast, for the sake of the father of John. I beg, drop off those analysis. What matters most is getting to heaven on the last day. Every church got their principles which are set up to guard their members towards getting it right with God. Respect DL view, which might be so different from others. However, it does not mean that those outside DL cannot still worship God in truth and in spirit. Every church got her governing body and constitutions, but that of Christ is foundational.


For the love of Christ, there are more important things to think about and to do. Such as reaching out to others, burning out for God. People need the LORD...Let us not allow the enemy to fill out heart with bitterness, sprewing things that are not upright. Let this argument go..oti sun mi. LOL.

God bless you. Shalom

biolabee: if there are more important matters than these.. what of the thousands of people excommunicated for not following church doctrines, not using drugs and have died off from no medication,

OlowoTee:

Biolaaaaa!
Who told you we don't use drugs? Wrong information ni yen o. Like I said, all churches have their principles. Jehovah Witness don't accept blood donations, Faith Apostolic don't use drugs, etc

No thousands of people have been excommunicated. I have been in that church for more than thirty years and really I cannot remember anyone who was excommunicated! I am not disputing the fact that some were, however, this is to tell you that they must be SO few! And they must have been excommunicated for some reaaally grievous sins.

funnyx: He promote gulder with the keys in his pocket? The keys not even bought with his own money? Abeg park well jor!

OlowoTee: Your faith in God is highly emphasised when faced with any unpleasant and pleasant situations #difficulties, #sickness etc. So people who chose not to take drugs, do so based on their believe in God for healing. It wasn't enforced that members should not take western medicine etc. Maybe, If you meant traditional medicine, I would have said a resounding YES! I don't know how "agbo" tastes till today I remember my pappa never used drugs until some 2years ago!!!! And he never forced that on anyone...

biolabee:

i thought you were going to lie ...

i never said agbo... i said western medicine

if i may ask, why will deeper life advocate non usage of medicine
do you know how many people have died or whose ailments became worse because of some doctrine

Now that his own son wants to do marriage.. it is cool to look ok and trendy
what of countless people who had to wear satin...

what do you think

OlowoTee:

No, the church never advocated non-usage of western medicine. We visit hospital when necessary and take drugs. Have you ever visited the church, pls? Or you are saying all of these based on what you've heard? #justCurious

OlowoTee:

I have answered your question, here.

biolabee:

i was a member for years,,, from childhood.. up til Uni

Im surprised you are coming out here to say DL members were encouraged to use drugs...

I wonder why your family member does not use drugs

OlowoTee:

From Childhood to University?!! Wow! You should know better.

Biola this is plain falsehood, really. At no point in time was it said that DL member should [b]NOT[/b]use western medicine. Fortunately, I came visiting my parents now and they also objected to your point.

The only church they do know so well that do not promote use of western medicine, then...was Christ Apostolic Church(our formal church). She confirmed it that sadly people truly died because of this...however, this wasn't in DL.
