I wear a bolo tie and it flares out and point in two directions ... towards each leg.

And Blanche does not object to the subliminal anomaly?

She doesn't consider me to have any anomalies.

I imagine Shane's ties wear out pretty quick, having to carry such a heavy burden.

[olger]

I don't believe that wearing a necktie is a moral issue.

[SivartM]

I don't like ties.

But I have to wear one for Pathfinders and funerals.

Did you ever stop to think that when you wear a tie you are tying a rope around your neck? That ought to tell you something.

[olger]

I don't wear one because the bIble says not to wear things that make you SWEAT !!

This thread reminds me of the one about the expensive cars that people buy and that the men ooh and ahh over out in the church parking lot.

Good point....As my friend Jack says, "where you have self you have sin." What does that mean? Well, again, what is sin? I'll even use EGW:

Our only definition of sin is that given in the word of God; it is "the transgression of the law;" it [sin] is the outworking of a principle at war with the great law of love [agape] which is the foundation of the divine government. [GC 492]

Sins are the outward manifestation of sin (singular). Sin, not sins, is our "bent-to-self". As a result of the fall, man by very nature is spiritually “bent,” so that the driving force of his very nature is love of self. It is this condition that is the basis of all our sinning....

So the woman wearing that miniskirt is "bent-to-self". She covets attention and so she uses her sexual powers to get what she wants.

And guys, that leather seat BMW...or that Harley motorcycle all decked out...or that Mustang with it's big 500 HP engine, what's up with that? Same principle....Just like the woman wearing that miniskirt to be noticed, we are doing the same thing in our cars...maybe even our homes, etc.

So let's not just stop with "dress"....

Case in point:

[Woody]

Case in point:

Rob ... as og stated ... the Bible tells us we are not suppose to sweat. So why do you post such pictures?

[Woody]

Case in point:

Rob ... at least Richard has the forethought and tact to put a hubcap or two in the photo. I don't see any hubcaps in your picture. Btw ... do you know these chicks?

[Tom Wetmore]

An observer at the recent motorcycle trade show here in Washington, DC noted that the scantily clad models were strangely ignored even by the predominantly male crowd ogling the bikes... I find myself understanding that biker crowd phenomenom... Hmmm...

[Tom Wetmore]

Neckties function subliminally: They draw attention to the wearer. Just as necklaces are designed to draw attention to a woman's bosom, a tie is designed to draw attention to where the necktie points.

And that's all I'm gonna say on that...

That explains my dislike for ties. Being secure in my manhood, I seldom wear a tie anymore. I have no need to point out such things... [TIC]

TU You have way more wisdom than many who are older than you!

WITH out the HOLY SPIRIT in any ones life we are

all self centered

With the Holy Spirit we are still self-centered....just less, hopefully.

I didn't meqn to say that hairbands or hair clips were somehow "bad", what I was meaning is that I have seen very elaborate (and probably) expensive hair clips, perhaps made out of gold for instance, on those who would oppose jewelry.

I am 20 years old.

I'm having a hard time formulating an opinion on how I feel about anything regarding modesty because it is largely subjective what people find modest or immodest. (example: in America miniskirts don't seem to be a big deal, but in Turkey and Egypt it's a horrible idea to wear those kinds of garments).

Regarding jewelry the only thing that is clear to me is that expensiveness and wearing it for attention-getting is wrong. Beyond that, I cannot say, I await clear guidance from the holy spirit on this issue.

If we fully devoted our time, talents, and treasures to fulfilling the Great Commission, these issues would probably be mute because; a) we wouldn't have time to pursue them, we wouldn't have the money to overspend for adornment in the first place, and c) our focus would be on Christ and His mission instead of on ourselves. However, as self-centered as we (yes, I include myself) are, these issues will be ever before us. I think it is very sad, don't you?

Yes. It tells me to use clip-ons. They are a lot cooler too which is important in the tropics.

Most women dress for men. Men like miniskirts on women; men like bikinis on women; men like to see a lot of skin on women. Just take a look at the pictures being posted on this forum. You'll find lots of women's skin and the ones who comment on the photos are men. Men don't like modesty on women...that's the conclusion I've come to here. I wouldn't worry about the hair clips. I doubt any are 24 K gold.

A tie is a skinny bib. If it costs more than the shirt it's protecting, something went wrong somewhere.
