I agree it does not mean forsake something simply because MOST people think of appearance when they hear the term holiness. BUT IT SHOWS A DEFINITE PROBLEM. And the problem comes from the doctrine of banning jewelry altogether.
I also noticed something else that always comes with ban on jewelry in movements. A sharp judgmental attitude that is simply not present in movements that do not propose such bans. I am not saying ALL who propose that teaching are judgmental, but MOST are. The common person is judgmental. It really is a spirit that is not from God that goes along with that doctrine, I sincerely believe. I tried denying it for 14 years but could not any longer. Look at RDP's typical attitude amongst such movements. THAT is the typical problem I have seen for years.
