Some times I roll on the floor. laughing.

Cosmetics was until the last couple of decades a racist and status product. Rich women only could afford it and they used it generously to remind working women that they did not work. They had servants.

White women used it to make faces whiter so they would not even look like they touched a garden or outdoor work. Black women can't use blush to act the innocent look.

Of course in the mission field you know that there is no money for make up.

My kids and wife worked as 1800 re enactors in a museum and were told no one wore any make up. Period. Only rich in the big cities did.

You didn't want to know the background. You just have a passion for gossip and something to take a shot at.


Actually it is common for jealous folks to toss the pride word out to try to put people down.
In your case to also talk about people. Some churches do lots of that. In fact most of your posts are about the poster and not the topic. Drive by posting.

I guess people don't call you on it.

How should people deal with envy and jealousy? deny it?
Yeah, you've really got my number.

Re: Cosmetics???

The Book of "Ezekiel" tells us what Lucifer really looked like before he sinned.

Lucifer was a being "of perfect beauty". He was covered in every precious stone. He had pendants and jewels of gold...

Lucifer was beautiful before he sinned. An expression of Gods own beauty and power.

HOWEVER...that does not mean someone that is beautiful has the nature of Lucifer...I think we must be careful how we word things...

Gossip threads. Our churches have gossip issues. They of course in this thread use gossip about make up to call people as tramps.

This post is an invitation to gossip.

Usually such posts bring out lurkers that join in. Nosey peole in churches explain why some churches can't have revival. People want to know how much money people make.

You realize, of course, that asking a person directly a personal question is NOT gossip? LOL!!!!

Personally, I don't care a whole lot about your personal life--but I do care about honesty. And I don't think you're being honest.

"use gossip about makeup to call people tramps?" Aren't YOU the one calling women "tramps" and worse if they wear makeup?

I think you're schizophrenic! THAT would explain all those different degrees. One for each personality!
