To look at that just gives me the willies. It's unearthly, it's unpleasant, it's weird and it comes from a spirit and a place that I want no part of.
What's sad is that the disfigurement is so totally severe and all encompassing that I don't know how he could ever get rid of it.
We've had guys come into church and get saved with tattoos on their arms that couldn't be removed and they were sensitive enough and even embarassed by it after they were born again to the point where they'd keep covered up for the most part.
Occasionally, if they wore a Tshirt or short sleeve shirt when they were out working or whatever then the tattoos were visible and I'd look at it and think about the grace and mercy of God and how that He can change a life so dramatically and radically and just be amazed by that all over again.
This guy with the kind of disfigurement he's undergone could never do that. Even if he did come to Christ and get born again he'd have to look like that the rest of his life and how gross!
Personally, I wouldn't be interested in having him on my platform no matter if he did get saved and had a testimony. There are lots of people who have amazing stories to tell of how God saved them and what He delivered them from without having to have that on display.
JMO. Now stone me if you like ... or set me straight, whatever
.... but these are my honest feelings.
