It's hard for me to imagine someone really looking like this either. But I do know a man who had his whole body done except for his hands and face. His ex wife was a tattoo artist so she practiced on him. He kept the hands off limits so that he could wear a long sleeved shirt if going into a situation where he felt like he just absolutely would not be accepted.
He looked pretty freaky if you saw him with short sleeves or a muscle shirt on, but he did not fit the personality that we expect someone like that to be. He was a very nice guy.

Joan Baez once said that if you are ever given your choice of facing a real lion or a hypothetical lion, choose the real one, it's not as dangerous.

Good question... 
Dan, what do you do with the individual who before conversion had this sex change operation and now has full blownout size D breasts? Do you put him on your platform to preach to the congregation and teens and children or do you have him surgically remove his breasts first? or are you afraid to hurt his feelings?

In this situation ... I'd leave it to my administrative assistant ... J-Roc ... to organize a task force to examine the issue[s] and appropriate any monies ....
Check out LD ... preaching at Thad's church ... He's such a RIP IT Preacher!!!!

Share? We are talking about someone whose face is tattooed completely. He does not have to share that, Everyone can see it.

Now if someone take him aside or say he brings it up, and ask, "hey brother why you do such a thing", it's up to him to say I'd rather not discuss it, or sure I'll talk about it.
|
That wasn't even the question. Should he renounce tattooing before someone lets him preach? Should he take a stand against it and say it is wrong? Or if he approves of such things should he still be allowed to preach?

But the deal is this, would you go up to someone and ask them to publicly announce how they were disfigure , or ended up in a wheelchair because of drinking or whatever the cause, do they have to renounce that to the whole church or a pastor?
|
Everyone with half a brain KNOWS how he got that way. The question is should he renounce it! Not his face, getting tattoos...The drug user renounces drug use usually. Is this question too hard for you people?
Quote:

No! I think what you have are nosy gossiping saints who enjoy inflecting self righteousness on other who don't walk the walk or fit the mold. But if he like most, he'll be more then happy to share what God has done for him~
|
You don't have to be a gossiper to SEE that the man has a tattooed face. Come on folks, use your brain here. He has a tattooed face....should a pastor let him be on the platform if he has not renounced getting tattoos? If my pastor asks me if I renounced drugs before getting on the platform you better believe I will offer a hearty YES!
