Sister,
You might wish to re-think your wording in this post. It would appear that you are implying others NEED a ring to prove their marriage. I feel sure that is not your intent.

Also, please don't condemn me for WEARING one.

I choose to wear one so that I don't get unwanted male attention.

The way a woman presents herself is the primary reason she doesn't get unwanted male attention - IMHO. I don't pay much attention to whether or not others wear jewelry, wedding rings. Those things are just not issues for me but I do pay attention to actions.

Some on here seem to imply that they NEED their rings to fend off unwanted attention - so, in a sense that is "to prove they are married" to others. I am saying that FOR ME the right conduct is what fends off the unwanted attention.

I am not condemning you at all.

I think there's room in the church for those with varying convictions on matters that are not salvational.
Lost people are going to Christless eternitys everyday I should be more concerned with reaching them than chopping up my fellow christians.

A voice of sensibility in what appears to be an insane world.

Excellent post, brother. It plays well in theory, but real life is a different story.
Competitive holiness will not allow for differing views. Shame, but true.

ChTatum, for those who know me, "Competitive holiness" is not a song in my repertoire!!!!
