Any men flaunting or otherwise exposing their sign of separation would be in violation of some other laws.

Your "bro's" might know, and your wife and mom but that's the extent of it.

Women, as far as I can tell, were give required to show no visible sign of separation that was not tied to things that actually had theological or practical significance and/or relevance.
You did it again!

Some of us are just not as "spiritual" as On The Wheel! By the way, what wheel are you on?

I'm surprised some pharisee hasn't done it yet.

I guess that's where modesty trumps separation.

I'm not sure, but this time of year, that wheel gets to spinning so fast I get sick. I just thought I might share the feeling.

Re: Did 1st century christian women "stand out"?

I have a hard time with the way some people think...The first church may have been different in a lot of ways...however it was their LOVE that drew attention to them if anything did....
