True story coming out of Iowa.<\/p>\n
As worship services have become increasingly more relaxed and informal, the dress of some participants has had churchgoers complaining that casual dress has gone too far, that mini-skirts and\u00a0dirty jeans have no place in God\u2019s house. But until recently, the latest fashion hasn\u2019t physically damaged the church.<\/p>\n
That has changed with the advent of rhinestone jeans.<\/p>\n
In last Sunday\u2019s church bulletin at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Moville, Iowa, the following announcement appeared: \u201cHELP SAVE OUR PEWS: The latest jean fashion of rhinestone\/bling stones on the pockets act like rough sandpaper and razors on the pews. Please refrain from wearing these as our pews have already received damage from these stones.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Seems this is a big problem as the rhinestones in the back pockets of certain jeans are gouging wood and snagging upholstery like a “razor.” Pews are now having to be sanded, revarnished, and polished and\/or reupholstered.<\/p>\n
Thankfully the rep is reported as saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think the kids crawling on the pews is doing anything,\u201d she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I can’t help but wonder if after all the repairs are made, will the pews will be more comfortable.<\/p>\n
