Coadie, people have asked before and we haven't gotten an answer from you...
What do you do for a living?


Also, what are your degrees in?

Why would you need to know? as rude as you are, I guess you are going to have to try a little harder to stay on topic and you can't attack my schools, where i taught or where we go to church. Frustrating?

You have gone far to far on personal attacks and it looks like you won't get any where farther.

Now if you want to be honest, tell us where scripture condones painting nails, skin etc in the course of the application of cosmetics.

I no longer attend a mennonite Church. Your large condemnation of them tells me a lot. There is a lot of deep hostility in that condemnation.

Where in Scripture does it say to wear a suit or tie or hat or anything else? Half of everything we do wasn't in Scripture!!

A few ponts for you Mr. Coadie.


No one is as rude as you around here, Coadie. Stop kidding yourself. Dont even bothering playing the "innocent little lamb" role around here.
Please... Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black".

I simply ask tough questions, which obviously you find uncomfortable. (Not sure why though). If asking tough and direct questions makes me rude, then so be it... I plead guilty,

Even if you dont want to answer me, I wasnt the only one to ask. Mrs D was the first one to ask, and you chose not to answer her.... so it could appear that your simply dodging the question for some reason.

You were the one who made it a point to tell us that you made $300/ hour to ask questions... obviously, that would naturally make people wonder. If you didnt want people to ask, you shouldnt have been out here talking about how much you supposedly make.

And since you felt the need to boast about your education and multiple degrees on a forum, naturally someone would end up asking what your degrees are in. If you didnt want to be asked, you didnt have to bring it up.

And yes, I do consider the Mennonite Church a false doctrine church. That's a fact. I dont apologize for having that opinion, based on scripture. (I'm sure there are a lot of good-hearted people in the Mennonite Church, just as there are many in the Catholic church too, but I still know their church is not preaching the truth.) I assume that if you know the bible as much as you'd like us to think, you also know that they preach false doctrine.

So do you want to answer Mrs D's question?

coadie,

I believe TRF already listed his four scriptures. You talk to hear yourself I'm afraid.

IMO, this topic is like so many we engage here. When the bible does not state some prohibition in a verbatim manner, both ends of an opinion-defined continuim can argue from silence (and fill up several pages while doing so).

The NT is about motive; imaginations that are revealed from some abundance of our hearts.

IMO, for every 10 people who use topical applications of cosemtics to mitigate some troubling facial appearance (causing them distress when they are in public), there are 200 who apply these masking techniques to enhance what [they believe] 'others' will see as beauty belonging to the wearer.

The persons involved in these applications do not feel appropriately presented (acceptable) without the addition of some daily artwork afixed to their countenance.

I am saddened for those who must run on this hamster wheel all the days of their public life, but I guess a lot of folks thoroughly enjoy every hour involved in this decorating effort.

You are correct.

Just like so many other things - "When the bible does not state some prohibition in a verbatim manner" - I practice moderation.

I assure you I don't look like a different person when I don't have on makeup. I have known some that do -- that's too much.

This is so true!! I was in the cosmetic industry before getting in church. I can attest to the fact that I was very tired - sick and tired - of the pressure put on women to "have" to enhance their looks!!!!

We do that we do these things for ourselves - BUT - in all actuality, we are pressured into it by the subliminal media and society. That is my opinion.

I get very offended by men that say, and that includes those on this forum () that some women need work.

Well, honey - you ain't married to her - so mind your own business.

Okay, I feel better. Have a nice day!

Of course! And the inequality just STINKS!!! LOL!

What is maddening about it is that a man can have an equivalent (and normal) look with graying hair, smile lines, crow's feet, a few age spots, and NO ONE will tell him he needs to cover it up with make-up in order to be handsome. He is accepted just as he is, and may even be called "distinguished-looking."

A woman looks her age, and she's called dowdy or frumpy.

It's ridiculous, and an unchristian point of view, IMO. It's men who have bought into a Hollywood-perpetrated female ideal, and they get upset if their wives don't measure up.

Absolutely women feel the pressure from society--AND their husbands.

Jeff has NEVER pressured me to wear makeup, and actually has expressed his desire that I don't wear it. (Not because he thinks its wrong--he just doesn't like it.) I have an aunt who always gets up earlier than her husband so she can "put on her face" before he wakes up--and has done so for all their many years of marriage. (Stands at close to 50 right now.)

While I appreciate the effort she is putting into looking nice for her husband, I also feel sorry for her that she feels she has to, and annoyed with men in general, who make their wives feel they aren't pretty without paint.

Abigail,
You can't imagine what food is doing to our bodies! Since I've been on my detox program and eating organic, my skin has a totally noticeable change!!!! I feel wonderful!!!!

My husband prefers me with no make-up and never has pressured me at all. Aging with him will be easy.
