Re: Cosmetics???

It's no wonder coadie's wife can stay home with their children, if he makes that much money. Makes it kind of hard to condemn women who work, because their husbands only bring in, say, $20/hour or so. Let's say the wife only makes $15/hour at a secretarial job--that's $35/hour, which is just a little over 10% of what coadie makes per hour.

And then there are single mothers, who make even less. (one income)

Isn't that disingenuous, coadie, for you to be critical of people who are working to make ends meet, when you are apparently wealthy, and your wife would never need to work with you making such a salary?

By the way, did you ever get around to thinking about your own "gossipy" conversations? Any answer on that?

Gossip about posters wives?

Gossipers always justify it.

Cosmetics. The church gossips seem to talk about women and what they paint on.
Do you always talk about people wives? In public? we all know most of gossip is private. the heavy dyty gossips are bold and toalk about men's wives in public.

A couple of gossips can do a whole lot more damage than a new saint that doesn't fit in looks wise. I take it you talk about incomes of people you don't know with others?

Bankers
CPA's
Medical offices
Government
discussion of people's income is totally against the law.
But "church gossips" it is ok?


To the Lurkers.
this thread has had 500 Views today. That is more than go to most churches. Don't decide not to go to a church because of the risk of gossip.
Lurkers, we have rules Professionals abide by in business that respect privacy. Some churches do also.

Gossip? It's common knowledge that your wife is a SAHM, just like I am! LOL!!! You talk about it all the time. I think she should be commended for that! YOU are the one I'm addressing. You're always talking about living frugally, and condemning women for working outside the home, but you apparently (by your own voluntary admission) make so much money that your wife has no NEED to work.

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm still addressing you, and comments you've made.

Eh? Then why are you on the cosmetics thread? Calling women names who wear makeup? Maligning the character of women who cover up the dark circles under their eyes? That's Christian how?

I'm not a gossip. LOL!!!! Good luck with that! You should have been on the old FCF when I first met Thad and his "Thad's Tab." You really don't have a clue.

Hilarious that you think those 500 views have to do with you. I have news for you--they're probably here to read about cosmetics. Standards threads get all the attention!

Careful what you say about whisperers and backbiters. You might point a few fingers at yourself.

Is it? Aren't you the one that was private messaging people earlier? I thought Mrs. McD said something about it on this thread....

I've sent one PM all day, and it was about 4 sentences long. Not sure I'd call that "heavy."

Here's the deal: You use your credentials to give your arguments weight. If you are going to do that, no one is going to let them CARRY weight, unless you prove your credentials. If you don't want to pull them out of your pocket--that's fine--just don't go around bragging about them.

Personally, I think some of your posts on the economy and politics are really great. But if you're going to discuss scriptural matters, you shouldn't come to the table empty handed, and then try to convince us all that you're so educated that we have to accept your word as Gospel. That's just silly. We don't know you from ADAM, therefore we'd all be foolish to give what you say ANY weight at all, especially if what you are saying lacks logic, sound reasoning, or in this case, even scriptural support.

Now, you can continue the little "gossip" game if you want, but it's so silly, I'm tired of it already. Anyone who has been on this board for a good length of time knows that I am no gossip. In fact, I once got banned for 3 days (or it might have been 7) because I posted a PM that I thought was too gossipy in the open forum. Not a good decision, but just to illustrate the point that I keep things in the open. I'm blunt, straight forward, and I don't mind asking people direct questions.

You can't have it both ways, you know. You can't accuse me of talking in the open because I "want an audience", and then turn around and accuse me of gossiping in private, being a "whisperer." The truth is, it's neither. You're the one who has been the drama queen on this thread. Not me.

I'm still surprised that you come from a Mennonite background. The Mennonites I know are very soft-spoken, kind, quiet people. You don't come across that way at all.

I'll vouch for you!!!

Of course he's being absurd! You are one of the most fair, level headed, well-respected posters here.

Re: Cosmetics???

Coadie do you think you are going to change anyone's mind about make-up?

You have asserted some pretty silly things on this thread.

It seems you cannot stay focused.

You state facts, then refute them when asked about what YOU have stated.

To reflect the attention you fling out insults and accusations of gossip.

( how ironic. Cosmetics are applied to get noticed )
You have no facts to offer in your post.

Rougue. It is for redness.

the french languages has only about 200 words as old as the time of Christ. Rouge was also inreference to lip color not just "blush"?
Oft times a product is discovered or invented and it is later named. The word rouge is borrowed from the Latin "the red place"

Again the point here is I am trying to go to history and see the words and if the products were not there, the words for them won't be either.

Biblical Hebrew has no words for makeup. Please don't expect us to consider they had it if NO one discussed it in Hebrew. The word pain is there. Again it traces to Egyptians.

YEs Hebrew does have a way to express makeup.
