Have not bought anything but maybe I will go check out their packaging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085700 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 02:00:23 +0000 Karie 1085700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rae and A. Some of their clothes don't seem very modest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085686 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 01:46:12 +0000 Anonymous 1085686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>+1 with Rae.

But I don't mind the verse numbers on the bags. As long as they don't discriminate against employees or customers of different faiths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085651 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:56:35 +0000 minimalist 1085651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that's true, then their sourcing and numerous other practices violate much of their own scripture.</p> <p>In-N-Out (a burger chain) is another company that prints Bible references on packaging. Their labor practices seem to live up to the values they proclaim, so I'm fine eating there when I do eat fast food. (ETA I don't love their inherent support of feed lots.)</p> <p>I'm fine with religion, but if someone starts trying to evangelize me, I probably know enough of their scripture to call them on ways they should practice before preaching. Not to single any one group out, but am particularly non-inspired by evangelical Christians who actively maintain ignorance of labor and environmental practices supported by their purchases, because they "need variety." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085631 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:39:12 +0000 Jewell 1085631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This doesn't surprise me. I've only gone into a F21 twice, but I remember noticing during my first visit an abundance of crosses and other Christian accessories in their jewelry section. I ended up not buying anything so that's why I never noticed the bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085612 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:22:47 +0000 ironkurtin 1085612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LBD, I totally agree. I was raised nondenominational so I don't have a horse in the race, so to speak. I don't know of any big companies printing in Hebrew or verses from the Koran, or sayings of the Buddha etc. - interesting that at least 2 companies in this list have picked the exact same New Testament verse to share. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085585 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 23:55:50 +0000 Beth 1085585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just learned this recently too.

I second K, though. They are selling on price not their morality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085515 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:43:58 +0000 Kristin L 1085515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember seeing&nbsp;John 3:16 on the bottom of their bags a few years ago. I think most people who shop there probably don't care one way or another.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/forever-21-is-a-christian-company#post-1085513 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:37:49 +0000 ironkurtin 1085513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/10/brands-religious-affiliations_n_4194653.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....=edlinkusa</a></p> <p>I did not know this, but then I do not shop at F21. I wonder if this makes people more or less likely to shop there? </p>
