Wedding Rings

I don't think it would be possible to resize a ring made of stone.

Are you sure there was no pressure? Maybe her fingers were swelling up :-)

Every single ring I have had, and I have tried to wear as an "extra ring", since I have been saved, has actually broken. They have split right through the middle. My watches have broken also.

The only ring I have is my origanal wedding band, which is a plain siver band. We were quite poor at the time and I was very against jewlery of any kind.
I have 2 pretty pins I wear for dress up--fancy--special events.

I could see it happening--a ring breaking like that--but I think it represents a deeper thing to the individual than just "standards". Several pastors wives, that I know, have lovely diamond rings and watches. Theirs are fine. I do not think it "sinful".

I would have problems with it. It was my fault for being young and envyous. My hubby did not approve of jewlery but I thought "God, if they have it why can't I?" All of it is personal and means more to the individual God is dealing with about it.

I had a pair of pants that split at the seat

She had just told her husband not even God could take the wedding ring off her hand. But it fell apart and she screamed to the top of her lungs.

Legends abound, even in Pentecostal circles.

Ever hear the one about the vanishing hitch-hiker?

Anyway, Reverend Freddie Fried Foggybottom and wife stoped to pick up a hitch-hiker on the way to Gen. Conf. Mr. Hitch-hiker after remaining very silent in the back seat, after a long time leaned forward saying to Reverend and Mrs Foggybottom, "Jesus is coming soon."

Though traveling fast on a lonely country road at night in the midst of a driving rain, Sister Foggybottom turned to acknowledge the words of this strange passenger, except that he had VANISHED from the backseat.

Did you hear the one about the Pentecostal oil drillers that drilled so deep that they heard the screams in hell?

I have heard both of them.

Unfortunately that was back in the day when I was easily mesmerized by pretty much anything anybody said.

But I am feeling much better now.

God is calling you to life as a naturalist/nudist. When the fetters of sin are broken you become free of the shame of your body and are restored to the purity and oneness that Adam and Eve had with their bodies.

Didn't Verbal Bean have the power to pronounce Judgment on folks ?

People today don't believe in such but remember anninias and saphira? maybe that's what we need in the church today - a little fear and reverance

I know it happened other places but that was the only one I knew people that was there and heard it first hand from several witnesses.

Are you serious after being in Verbal Bean's services??? That is scary.
