Re: Isaiah 3 and jewelry...
 

Actually, the whole chapter is based on God taking away everything that they had placed their confidence in. He wanted them to fully trust and follow Him alone.

It's really not about jewelry at all. It is about where they had placed their confidence and derived their pleasure.

He takes away (Isaiah 3:1-3): the stay and staff, whole stay of bread and water, the mighty man, man of war, the judge, the prophet, the prudent, the ancient, the captain of fifty, the honourable man, the counselor, the cunning artificer, the eloquent orator.

Exactly. He took the good things of life away from them to get their attention.

Okay, this is seriously funny!!! :toofunny I had a person say, "Your slit is a little high." I looked behind me and said, "Oh, really?" Then I walked off and forgot about it. :toofunny

Re: Isaiah 3 and jewelry...
 

I always hoped a crazed nut didn't take off chasing me! I would have just gone kerplunk on my face, and it would have all been over. :ursofunny

I never sew my slits. If the back of me knees are not showing, I'm good. :D LOL!

And if anyone did chase me - I'd hike up my skirt and kick them where it counts! :toofunny

I did hear of a woman that picked her nose and began to eat her boogers. It turned the attacker off. I think I'd prefer kicking someone as opposed to..... :toofunny

Re: Isaiah 3 and jewelry...
 

GROSS...there was a woman on Oprah who purposely pee-ed (how on earth do you spell that???) on her attacker--he let her go, too. LOL!!!!! I'd rather do the latter than pick my nose and eat the boogers. :vomit

Do you know what MAKES boogers? It's all the dirt and germs you breath in during the day mixed with mucous. *gag* So people who eat them are eating dirt, viruses, bacteria, etc., mixed with mucous. I bet if they did a study, there would be a higher rate of illness among booger-eaters.

Okay, I'm making myself sick.

I am now officially fasting through lunch and dinner today! :toofunny

Re: Isaiah 3 and jewelry...
 

And exactly how are they going to conduct this study?

"Looking for people to submit to a study of health. Need both booger eaters and non-booger eaters. Indicate how many boogers you eat on the average day with your questionaire. Liars need not apply."

ROFL!!

Yeah, I can see the massive sign-ups now. People admitting to eating boogers may be on the rise if there's enough money being offered!

Well, anyway. That's the lecture I give my son. Jeffrey thinks its hilarious to catch the girls' attention at the dinner table, then stick his finger up his nose, then in his mouth. Of course, they yell and scream and get sick about it, and that makes it fun for him. So, I've been telling him about the germy part of it to try to discourage him.

I liked a boy in 2nd Grade because he could wiggle his ears! Isn't that romantic?!!!!!!!!! :toofunny
