They quit doing that because 10 out of 10 times, it got stuck on the second finger because it was sized for the third finger. Fact.

My friend, I respect your opinions, and don't say this in a mean way, but that is WAYYYYYYY out in left field. I suppose that eventually you can make a case against clothes, simply because the Pope has a certain order in which his garments go on.

Re: Dr. Gerald Jeffers
I am saying almost every thing we do...comes from somewhere that dates back into history...
I am just saying at one time many years ago I tryed to look up where everything come from...the source...the origin, in the end...I was on a merry go around....
That was my purpose of putting that site there...even our calendars are pagan...the days of the week...and on and on...
So we must weigh all things out in the light of the Bible and eternity...

Re: Dr. Gerald Jeffers
In response to Mizpeh, 3rdxcharm, and Sherri..I find it pretty ironic that this website is called Apostolic FRIENDS forum and all of your comments about Dr Jeffers are not friendly whatsoever! Actually the comments made about him were rather gossipy, and if you read Prov 6:16 God hates 6 things and these comments fall under A proud look, a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, and feet that be swift to mischief. The "spirtual" thing to do would be to take it to God in prayer and not "blast your brother" all over United States and Canada. Oh and also, A naughty person, wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. Frowardness is in his heart , he deviseth mishchief continually, he soweth discord. Prov 6:12, 14. Please be kind with your words we reap what we sow. Have a blessed day. No need to respond. Love covers a multitude of sins.

Re: Dr. Gerald Jeffers
Hey, all I'm saying is that IF he did the things and preached the things reported on here, then he is preaching ridiculous stuff. I don't know the guy from Adam, but we shouldn't just ignore false teachings that are far-out like this. He is evidently influencing a lot of people.

Sorry, I'm not meaning to argue. This kind of stuff just makes me crazy. Just say it's traditions, and I'm fine with that. I have my own.
