Joshua,
I've been confused between quakers and mennonites. I know they both believe
in modesty and simplicity.
Did the founding of The society of friends, quakers, come after the Amish? I 
don't think so. I thought quakers migrated here. Then came
the Mennonites and then the Amish. Amish broke off from Mennonites.
Do Quakers and Mennonites worship in churches?

BTW I'm not one to be simple; I love modern technology and gadgets. But
I do feel I dress modestly. I'm not a girl  to wear tank tops or
tattoos. I also wear some simple jewelry; like a gold pin or pearl necklace 
for dress ocasions. But I won't overdue it on the jewelry thing. They are 
pretty, but plain solid colors.

I don't see what is wrong with pants though. To me that seem appropriate 
dress; particularly the black or brown slacks.
Part of modesty to me is not showing particular body parts  and also acting 
with manners. Modesty to me, is about the way a lady acts, not just a 
religious thing.

Dana:
Are you Amish?
One thing I really respect, and love, is their semplicity.
Quakers also believe in modesty, and semplicity.
Us Apostolics have modesty in dress down pat, but semplicity, (for
some,) (sadly,) is not emportant.
It is sad, that we tell our women not to wear pants, (which is part of
modesty,) but we men, (preachers especially,) can't turn down an
opritunity to buy $500 shoes.
We need to be semple, (and not wear costly clothing.
The Bible teaches against this kind of behavior too!
Blessings, Joshua
