Well, you may be correct. My response was due to his nature of refuting the things that are minute but preached as heaven/hell issues. So, for him to ask about whether or not to remove earrings to take a leadership position in church lead me to believe he wanted others' responses, even though he might decide to go ahead and wear them anyway...whether at church or otherwise.
Just my thoughts...

Exactly, that's why I responded the way I did.
had he asked "is it wrong to wear jewelry", my answer would be different

Re: remove earrings
Answering as a pastor, I would say that IF being in leadership requires you to not wear earrings, and IF you want to be in leadership bad enough, you will not wear earrings either at church or anywhere else. I don't think they're a sin, but I do think rebellion to authority is a sin. So if you want to wear your earrings, DON'T sign up for leadership.

YAY!! Someone actually reads their Bible. 
1Tim 2:9, and 1Pet3:1-6 are written for women, actually I'm pretty sure the passage in Pete is for wives with unsaved husbands.

I thought that scripture was only for women? how come you guys have extended it to men?
1 Tim 2:9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
FYI: I believe the context of that verse is clearly saying women should not emphasize outward beauty

That's nice, but have you answered the question about if an actual leadership position was offered or was this part just wishful?
