My friend wasn't allowed to wear jeans b/c of her religion. anyone know what religion it is?

Question

My friend's parents wouldn't let her:

-wear jeans (she could only wear long skirts)

-cut her hair

-go to the movies

-have a computer

-go to parties

-have a boyfriend until she was 18

She goes to church (idk which one) every Sunday and Wednesday.

Her older brother was allowed to go to the movies and parties, but she wasn't allowed to.

Her parents are friends with another family who does the same thing.

I was wondering if anyone knows the name of this religion (if it's real).

Thanks!

Answer 1

Sounds a bit like Mormons.  I had a friend in grade school who wasn't allowed to spend the night at anyone's house, but her older siblings could.  There was an age that it was okay.  The rest sounds a bit like that, too.

Answer 2

a suckish one thats what. Heres a question.. Could the long skirts be made of denim like jeans?

Prob just overcontrolling parents. I mean if the older boy could do those things then its just the parents being overprotective of their daughter. I mean not cutting your hair? what happens when it reaches your feet?

sucks.

Answer 3

Sounds like she belongs to the Holiness Church, its a type of Christianity. Why not ask her what her religion she is.

Answer 4

Hmmm, Based on this information, You cannot assume it is her religion, It may only be her Parent/Guardian that may not allow this.

As the first post said, why not ask her yourself?

Answer 5

just ask her!  I had a friend like yours I asked her but I forgot what she said

Answer 6

It sounds a lot like Mennonite

Answer 7

Its more likely tradition than actual commandments from a written book. Many parents of different religions would give similar restrictions, such as many Islamic parents, I have met Bedouins who have similar restrictions, as well as very orthodox Jews, yet it would not surprise me if she was christian.  

Answer 8

Why don't you just ask her?

Answer 9

ask her

Answer 10

Sounds to me like Mennonite, maybe Mormon.  It's a very conservative religion, but not as hardcore conservative as the Amish.

You could just ask her.  There isn't anything wrong with being curious, and I really doubt that your curiosity will offend her.

Answer 11

Mormon maybe?

Answer 12
