LOL don't go preaching against watches, RW. There are several preachers out there that need not only to wear one but to look at it more often than they do.

"Avoid the appearance of evil" comes to mind.

A pregnant woman without a wedding ring looks evil?

It looks unwholesome. It makes people think you are an unwed mother. But you are probably a man and don't have to deal with that.

Are you saying it is a sin to drive a lincoln, or only if you preach against wedding rings?
I know many that ALLOW wedding rings and drive lincolns, and mercedes. Does that bother you?

Suit-tie, yet another stupid tradition.

Why do you even wear them to weddings and funerals?

Would you agree luxury cars are an adornment? Hard not to.
What are your thoughts on wrist rings that have a clock on it?

Re: Wedding rings
Please don't say wearing a wedding ring/band is a heaven or hell issue.

If they "allow" wedding rings and drive any sort of luxury car they are being consistent. If they preach against both, they are being consistent. If they still drive such a car and preach against rings as being "adornment" they are not.
