SILVER SPRING, Md. — In a push to present a “unified Adventist look” to the outside world, Adventist leaders have ordered members to dress exactly like James and Ellen White.
Men have been asked to grow “truly magnificent James White-style beards” and both genders have been asked to shed modern dress for “Adventist pioneer garb that truly speaks to our unique identity as Seventh-day Adventists.”
A statement announcing the new denominational dress code claimed that Adventists no longer look “peculiar enough” in their mall-purchased clothing.
To help facilitate compliance with the new dress code, ABC stores around the world will stock period-appropriate Victorian day dresses, EGW-approved red dresses, top hats, bonnets and frock coats.
Fake beards will be available for facial hair-challenged men.

I’m not understanding the ‘EGW approved red dress.’ What’s that?
It’s the little red dress with the built-in necklace and matching earrings. http://www.GodLikesJewelry.com
Ellen once wrote that every woman should have a red dress.
SHE WROTE THAT WHILE IN SPAIN DURING THE BULL RUNS, IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION TO AVOID GETTING KILLED BY A BULL
This should provide a welcome, new revenue stream from the steampunk crowd, who will be delighted at having a new source of Victorian costumes.
Have you ever worn heavy woolen clothing in the hazy, hot & humid weather? Will somebody get real here, please?
With that beard, James looks almost like a Muslim terrorist. Adventist women should wear matching burqas and hijabs. Alternatively, they could wear canvas potato sacks with banana-leaf scarves over their head. They would finally look “peculiar” enough to prove that they have “The Truth.”
LOL
But this happened in real life!!
