Re: Adornment!!
I was always taught growing up in a OP church that makeup changed your outward appearance and was unnatural. We were allowed to wear clear nail polish, but nothing more. I never understood the difference between "clear" nail polish and a colored one. And you will see tons of OP women wearing French manicured nails, but you'll nary see a one with any other color on their nails except clear.
Seems to me that they have become so caught up in the rules, and tradition that all clear sense of reasoning has just vanished. Nail polish color shouldn't make a difference ??? But it does.
I've never heard anyone preach against deodorant, or even perfume, but yes, perfume could definitely be considered seductive. Never really thought about that one before.
But again, the OP churches are consumed more with the outward appearance more than anything else anyway, and so perfume to them is not really an issue. After all - you can't see it....
