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.

I agree with your concerns. I really do. I know the HG convicts of the outward because I've seen it. God does it in spite of our fallbacks. The spirit of conviction regarding jewelry is very real. I am sad to see that most attribute it to the way they were taught, versus following the leading of the Holy Ghost. A true spiritual man should be able to separate the two.
