Well, some who are strong on faith healing could be against eye glasses, canes, braces, hearing aids, dentures, hairpieces, wigs, etc.
Some who are strong on holiness could be against gold framed eyeglasses or any metallic frames or any kind of designer frames.

Touche!
Hey, that brings up a doctrinal point. If a man has a combover, and he swirls it on top of his head like an ice cream cone, and it's above his ears and collar, technically his hair is short, right?
But, what if, when he gets home, he untwirls it, and it hangs down to his waist on one side - is it tecnically "LONG" hair, or can he get by with it, since it's really only "long" in the privacy of his home, or in wind storms?

Personally, I think he qualifies as having "long" hair.

Don't you think there is a double standard here ???

What I was going to say was:
A man who wears an ear ring may be more concerned with flash and appearance than with his own walk with God and the message he is sending the sheep he is leading.
HOWEVER, that same argument could be made against women who wear ear rings.
The "socially acceptable" argument leads me down a slippery slope as well.
In reality, I guess it is a double standard, but it is a standard.
This one-stepper still believes SOME STANDARDS are worth holding on to.
This is one of them. I don't have a scripture that I can comfortably say is out and out against men wearing ear rings, or maybe I do and I just don't remember right now.

Oh, really...I thought they'd be saying I'd gone straight to the bad place.
I'm really good! How are you Mark?
I"ve been working full time and with the family and work, there's been very little time for forums.
