The girls stated in a book that they wore the skirts/dresses out of their own conviction. Not because of Michelles conviction and not because they wanted to be respectful but by their own conviction. Now, it is absolutely ok to change your conviction but many are interested in the thought process behind it.<br />The duggar women have long been wearing skin tighht skirts or leggins under tunikas or short skirts. Even skinny jeans are not more revealing than that, so I don't think modesty is a factor here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-21704766360366237992019-10-31T13:54:50.639-05:002019-10-31T13:54:50.639-05:009:19 think about your life....don't know how o...9:19 think about your life....don't know how old you are, I am 60 and my values, beliefs and convictions are certainly different than they were at 20.

I’ve heard these type of arguments all my life, if you want to wear pants, then wear them, don’t make arguments like this against wearing skirts, they just aren’t true.

As a Christian family, we strive to raise our children with a firm understanding of the Gospel and ask “What does the Bible say about...”. Modesty is the command, and how that looks in regards to the skirts/pants subject is a preference.

When your parents tell you something is wrong (wearing pants etc) & you hear that your whole life, the tendency is to believe it completely without question. After all, why would your parents lie to you? I think we can all cite instances in our own lives where we left behind some of our parent’s beliefs that had been instilled in us after realizing it wasn’t sinful to do so. So I agree, the girls weren’t lying in their books. They were just regurgitating what had been drilled into their heads.
