I just laughed and said - "I SAID - OH YES WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DO - INCLUDING YOU!"
He said - "What are you talking about - I only wear the silk ones and have never wore gold or silver ones!"
I said - "Oh yes you have and that is exactly why I am wearing these - because YOU set the precedent for wearing them!"
He was so shocked and denied EVER wearing them. "Well - I NEVER" he proclaimed!
I reminded him that when I came to Georgia with the UPC - I did not wear cuff links. They wore them for the most part in UPC - Florida along with other jewelry.
So I did not wear them in Georgia - but then I went to a church to preach and this NOW finger pointer - he was the presbyter and lo and behold when we were praying at the altar with people - he took his coat off and he had big ole CUFF LINKS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never said a word about it until he jumped ME for having some on!
He said sheepishly, "Well - I did - but I had forgot mine and had to borrow some from the pastor and that was all he had." But he said - "I still don't believe in them!" LOL
And that ladies and gentlemen is one reason I wear big gawdy GOLD cuff links today - I was persuaded and influenced by EXAMPLE - by a genuine Son of the Superintendent, Preacher in the most Conservative "Apostolic" churches and campmeetings, Presbyter, Pastor and former "friend"!
