It's a phase that both genders go through. I think it's worthwhile doing; some ppl will keep using the piercings; others 'retire' them. I guess the trick is to keep the holes open and usable for if one wants to use them; while knowing if to remove them in certain situations.

Sometimes ppl gauge up somewhat and wear plugs of varying sizes.

@justbyfaith seemed a bit concerned of what ppl might think if he did it, but really - especially with some of the studs and even small plugs - they can truly be a wholesome, rugged and manly look.

they were cool when i was a kid. but now im thinking how would such a thing benefit me. will it raise my spiritual awareness, help me learn greek, eastern philosophy, help my kids understand what no means, keep my boss from telling me its not good enough, if not then i dont need them any more.

Sound like removing your earring is fine for you!

@justbyfaith was thinking of it as a witness tool; but it's not for everyone; only for the motivated to refer it to the wealth of verbal imagery about the bondservant.

@VictoryinJesus FYI, new thread & poll....

 

[farouk]

...but only because I like to keep away from pointy things!

PS: A lot of ppl can't resist at least doing ears, though, right? :)

 

[farouk]

@Butterfly FYI...

 

[farouk]

i had a pierced ear when i was 16...

PS: So was it you yourself that wanted to do it - do you remember? - or maybe it was your mom? (a lot of moms seem to want their sons to do it...)

Also if you want to reach the younger generation I don't know whether it is still considered to be cool but if it is it could be a benefit to reaching them.

Indeed; you are absolutely right. (Has your wife considered this factor yet?)

Maybe you yourself are frequently around young ppl, also?

So...silver for the spiritual type for redemption?

Or Gold for the type for the nature of God?

Or a lovely big diamond as a type of our spiritual life , moving through from wood, to charcoal, and pressured into a final beautiful diamond, fit for the Kings crown? :)

Be blessed....H

PS: @"ByGrace" Added to your really excellent points here, I think @justbyfaith makes a really good point, above, where he reckons that piercings are a fine, potential way to communicate with the young generation, don't you think? (particularly adapted to your suggestions, above).

 

[farouk]

will it raise my spiritual awareness

@jaybird : It could indeed raise awareness of the bondservant themes in Scripture, as @justbyfaith has indicated.

@1stCenturyLady FYI, (inc. poll)...

 

[farouk]

if you want to reach the younger generation...

A really good aim as the reason to pierce ears for, right?

Again, what a lovely post! :)

No...haven't considered it...but only because I like to keep away from pointy things!

PS: I guess you don't object to the idea of ear piercing, though, do you? :)

(In Ezekiel 16.12 the Lord Himself is recorded as giving earrings to Zion and even a nose ring!)

Do bullets actually count? If so I have a story.

Interesting; and so I guess it was a regrettable experience (as opposed to those who get jewelry put in...)

PS: I think you said your daughter is interested in doing it...once you let her, right?

So...question. Why does this matter so much to you? You seem really "up" on the whole piercing and tattooing deal. And, I'm not against it. But...I'm not sure I find the topic emminently worthy of much consideration. Obviously you do, which is fine...I suppose I'm wondering why.

Oh..topical...proven conversation-starters...a parlor was near us & various others not far away; and I think you'll probably find family members' possible interest in parlors may be somewhat relative to their proximity also, right...

And, I'm not against it.
