Wading through the wedding rings

NOT & NOR are using with gold in these epistles I think I understand without a Greek lesson what NOT means.

Do they still call those things......."earbobs"? hehe

Some of the ugliest things ever made. LOL

When I look at an individual with all those "ornament's" (plastic, silver, gold or whatever else other metal...flashing, hanging, dangling, stuck through body parts) on their body....modest and humble are not the words that come to mind.

If you're paying for internet access, then maybe you should just cancel it and send that money to Brazil?

The attitude that oozes from every single thing that you post is what I pledge to spend the rest of my life standing up against.

But I'm so glad to know that God was highly pleased that you spent it on a flashy diamond.

Good grief ! and just how much have you personally sent to the Alviers??

How much have wassted on your hot coffee, that could have been sent to work of God??

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

Is there a similarity? You decide!

You might be very surprised if you actually know how much I do give, but I am a very generous giver because God has blessed me to be able too do just that, and I have no doubt that some of it does go to help the Alvear's. I am a cheerful giver and give generously to Mothers Memorial, I guess you probably know what that Money is used for. We normally support at least One sometimes more students to enable those who are less fortunate than we are to be able to attend Bible College, and the list goes on, but I do not want to appear to be a braggart or to be boastful.

If you were referring to me.........you don't have a clue as to what I give sir.

And as far as an attitude? LOL....you don't know my heart either.

There are many who are taking "stands" against the ungodly things of the world too.

You bet. A diamond is the only thing in a house a woman cannot break.

There was a post that was deleted that was directly before mine. That is the one I was referring to:

I have zero tolerance for a certain type of attitude and that is where you will find me consistently vocal (and bold and disrespectful) in a majority of my posts. I want people to understand that they no longer have to tolerate this stuff and that absolutely nothing will happen to people for standing up to this type of attitude whether it comes from a "preacher" or a "saint".

How big is 3 ct? Is this something the requires the use of sunglasses just to look at it?
Ours was right at the limit of what we could afford at the time ($600), but even if I could have dropped 5 grand we found the perfect balance between beauty and size.

Here is a picture of ours.

EB has proven once again that he is very good at twisting what people are writing to say something they are not saying to escape having to deal with the issues he wants to present out of context. The most stark example of the liberty he takes to twist what people say is his statement that Felicity and I are joining the UPCI when no where at any time have I stated that we are joining the UPCI.
