You probably still attend an Apostolic church, don't cut or trim your hair, etc.

I meant, and should have specified, when they backslide, and are no longer interested in "the way" for the principles of it or the cultural conformity.

Did someone on here actually mention that rings were an offshoot from Catholicism?

I know they didn't, since the way most OP's celebrate the Lord's supper is a Catholicized version.

You're half right. I do attend an Apostolic church but I also trim my hair. And I wear a wedding ring so people know I'm married, but no other jewelry, again, because it's just too much effort. I'm a low maintenance woman.

Careful there, bub. Whatever The Pope says, goes!













Actually, somebody did mention it earlier. I've got an idea, let's wrap our ENTIRE LIVES around being NOT CATHOLIC.

Oh wait, it would be a third of the reading to just be Christian!

Hmmm. When it's all said and done . . .

I'll address your concerns in my next thread, which will be titled 'Are fat preachers gluttons and do skinny preachers have the big head?'
I said what I did to make the point that folks go around and around on ridiculous issues that make no difference to anything, while neglecting other more important issues. I know of no one who has come to Christ because of someone's position on rings.

Unreal!
ahem....most really conservative apostolic churches frown upon women
wearing dresses with their legs exposed to the knee.You are to wear
them a foot below the knee, twelve inches, so that is the end to
the shorts controversy.So it would depend on your measuring guide.
