Christ did the same when he was on the earth.
He also was a "casual travelor"..... which means he dreased in the casual dress of the day.
It's "wear," not "where," "their" not "there." I often make the second mistake while typing quickly, so I won't cast as big a stone on that one. Secondly, cultures exist, so I'm not sure whether you are casting that into doubt by using scare quotes around it.

"Before" refers to the placement of something in time, "as a man" describes his manner of coming irrespective of time, so the connection of these with "instead of" really makes no sense. Regarding your second point, the variety of church leader apparel is so varied it's really meaningless to attempt to generalize. Here are some church leaders. Please be more specific about which apparel you think Jesus, as a church leader, is likely to wear.
This being Mormon Jesus, however, I agree it's likely he'll appear more in the form of the retired Pope Benedict:

The only exceptions might be some "Asian" religions etc. that have their own traditional fine cloathing to where for important events.
Is cloathing the technical term for clothes worn by the self-loathing? If Jesus is supposed to return in fine traditional cloathing, he might end up looking like this:

If you ask women, to come "in power" is to come as a man, so I'm not sure your statement is internally consistent. Your main point is that to come in power, not as a man, implies that he will dress as he did when he was on Earth the first time, ie: as a man. Again, not internally consistent, and secondly, a non sequitur, as there's no obvious implication that his manner of return is connected in any way with the clothing styles of any previous visitations.

The church is obviously not true. Until you've dealt with that, I'm not sure what you think you will gain by looking beyond it.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
