Yes, 1 1/2 carat is obscene! Sell it and give to the poor (me).

You can mail me a cashier's check!

I'm sorry sis., but you keep making such broad statements, there are loads and loads of apostolic women you have never met. You can't make judgements on people you have never met. I know that you have had a bad experience, but many people haven't had that experience. Many people are happy.

In my experience, in day to day life, very few women who aren't apostolic look happy. It is the world we live in, the pressures on women to work and be a mother and take care of the home. It is called life.

• b: neither bold nor self-assertive : tending toward diffidence
• 2: arising from or characteristic of a modest nature
• 3: observing the proprieties of dress and behavior: decent

btw...the word modest comes from the Latin word modestus which means: moderate...avoiding extremes of behavior or expression.

Nothing has changed for me. I still dress modest according to my culture around me. Even on the golf course!

modesty is according to the culture around you ????
what if you lived in a heathen culture? Have you seen the cultural norms in Miami and Los Angeles??
So we go by culture only not by the bible...you learn something every day.

Maybe one day you will see that as you move through life things change and as we grow in our walk with God we change too...I am still very much a Christian, I just don't dress like someone from the UPC.....I know you do not understand I just pray for you that one day you will see the whole truth of what Jesus did for us....it is sooooo awesome I can not get over how wonderful and beautiful it is....I love God with all of my heart and He loves me the same no matter what!

Now,I could understand a teenager blaming behavior merely on Peer pressure but a mature grown person?? You are telling me that everything you proclaimed as your own conviction was just pressure placed on you to conform?
I have seen pastors who preached certain things for years, touting it as a deep "conviction',only to discover years later it wasn't anymore. I've seen this really throw people for a loop. It messed their heads up. I think that saints have to be held to some accountability in this area too.

I do understand your case was extreme and have extended my sympathies to you but to say that one should just be free or ALL convictions is a recipe for spiritual disaster
