How many worthyites have a ...

Bro... I know what you are saying, I just don't think you realise how other piercings have become socially acceptable just like ear piercings have. I have a feeling I'm pushing the point though, and I don't want to appear to be a badger... so me and my metal are gunna give the topic a rest.

Och, it were fun while it lasted...don't forget you can close the thread if you think it has run its course.

Naw it's OK, I've tough skin... probably a good thing . It's just one of those things... if you met me in real life you would never imagine that I was involved in any gang or associated with anything pagan, I am a boring plain Jane wall flower to the max!

Sorry just a tiny bit more... is anyone aware of the false religious practices involved in the early use of make up? It was to adorn the dead for their religious burial ceremony . Hair dye and nail polish have been used since the dark ages as a social class indicator.

I think this debate has been had many times before in many different settings - take the most recent halloween thread and it's link to pagan practices, and just wait, there WILL be a christmas tree thread soon .

Somehow we manage to navigate through practices that likely have a pagan origin but the pagan component is long since removed. I do though, understand the danger in publicising your willingness to take part in such things knowing the knock on affect it can cause others.

So maybe I should keep my metal addiction quiet .

In scripture we read of nose rings and not in a bad light either, but that is a far cry from piercings all over the face and whatnot. The markings or tattos in scripture were done for the dead, it was a pagan practice that had gained ground within Gods set apart people. Any time someone takes something and chooses to put Gods name on it its wrong. I'm not entirely sure what He thinks of tats which have His name or scriptures on a person I think thats between the person and God. What I don't like is people getting all uppity about what others have chosen to do and deciding it will stand between them and God, not our call, not anyones call but His. Just my nickels worth.

shalom,

Maybe thick skin ... but your real susceptible to a magnet

There are some people who wear jewelery to make a statement, others wear it with little thought at all. Consider the motives of women who go to get their lobes pierced. Fairly innocent, right? There are some very subtle ear piercings (tragus) that women get with the same lack of ill motive. I really don't have holes all over my face maybe I should show a picture.

Hmm not sure what you mean? I do have two holes in my ears but have not had a ear ring in them in decades. I have two tattos which are on my back and only one is visible and thats just the tip top of it that shows. I also do not wear makeup, not that I can't or think its wrong, I just have never really worn it at all.
