    I have a tattoo on my right forearm. It is small and patriotic...crossed flags and hands shaking. I was a chaplain in army, when we were preparing to go to war in Korea. The lads challenged me and said "A chaplain would never get a tattoo." "Let's go", I said....fifty cents later it was there, and I made the lads vow to come to chapel services. I have covered it up with long sleeves all my life. I still voted against tattoos.

    I don't dance, so naturally went back on the old school where dancing was evil and Baptists just didn't dance; still don't.

    Kissing in public! Well, I am an old Englishman and we just didn't do these things in public, and I fear, I still don't. I don't hug anyone either.

    The list is a little troublesome, cos it doesn't make these elaborations in the tally.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    That means Jesus would not qualify as a pastor.

    Would he qualify by not having earrings? Recall: "They will look upon the one they have pierced..." [:rolleyes: :eek:]

    Right, those are the things that count! People get hung up on the wrong things.

    It's been my observation in my ministry that Christians often get upset about minor things and ignore major ones.

    A pastor should not be lost...the rest of the list is open for debate.
