No disrespect intended Rev, when I was younger I used to look at people's watch's, rings, etc. at church. Not so much the preacher but everyone. Most of the older people in the church did not wear any jewelry. Some of the younger ones did, such as wedding rings and engagement rings. And our pastor taught if you wore a simple gold wedding band it was fine. Never heard of anyone being told a watch was jewelry.

You have been extremely sheltered then, sister. There are many churches around that teach this type of thing. I personally don't agree with it, but it does happen.

Good grief. But I bet they want everyone to be on TIME for church.

A watch can be considered Jewelry...why not?
