Above is a picture from 1960 of the Feast of Tabernacles in Big Sandy.
How dare those men be seen in short sleeve shirts or not wearing a tie!
Open neck collars, GHASTLY DAYS!
Women with exposed arms! Lord have mercy!
Yet, the legalistic lords and masters of Living Church of God are demanding that men and women dress according to THEIR expectations.

General Guidelines: In most modern cultures, coats, collared shirts, ties and nice slacks are considered appropriate attire for men on special occasions. This may vary in tropical climates, yet, in all climates there is a distinction between what is appropriate and what is not. 1 Timothy 2:9–10explains that ladies should dress “in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation.” This does not include the trendy and immodest apparel that is commonplace for many women in our society today: short, tight, form-fitting dresses, necklines displaying cleavage, bare shoulders, backless dresses, belly-baring tops, etc. Our challenge as Christian men and women is to come out of this world (2 Corinthians 6:17
) and recapture true values so we can be lights to a world that has lost its way (Matthew 5:14–16
). This is especially true as we gather to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles—picturing Christ’s glorious reign on earth!
