I literally had dozens of suits. I still have more dress clothes than anyone I know. I did give some suits and clothing away and to be honest, I still like wearing a nice suit.
Brothers and sisters, are all your “ meeting clothes” still in your closet??

I STILL HAVE THEM!
My suits were NOT bought at Goodwill or Yard Sales. They were BIG BUCK$. I am NOT going to set them at the curb for the trash man.
And dress 👞 shoes
I gave at least a half dozen beautiful Italian expensive shoes away. And I still have a dozen left.
I had four DAKS’s, five pairs of Church’s. As a reaction leaving the cult I started to dress contemporary...gave them to my parents who sent them to Bethel. I wish I had them now....
What a waste giving anything to Bethel!
Minimus... do you mean all those used adult sized clothes given by sisters in the congregation because they knew we were poor????
At the time yes I thank them, at least I was not naked... but was not a good look as those didn’t really fit the style of a teenager. (Another reason to be bullied by my peers).
Way gone thank goodness! But every time I see some “sisters”..... takes me right back. 😖
Ps. I was thankful at the time though that they were kind to think of us.
Goodwill!!!
I’m sure hand me downs might not have been the favorite but some of us had some spiffy stuff😎
