I’m at the halfpipe last night talking to some member teens and they brought up some very good points in regard to plastic surgery, vanity, tanning and earrings.<\/p>\n
To be modest and not draw attention to one’s body is considered a good thing by church leaders, hence the dressing modestly, no tattoos and approach to multiple piercings, etc. But it appears that the church leaders have no problem at all with breast implants, coloured contacts and tanning.<\/p>\n
So by God’s decree we should not be wearing more than one earring per ear, but placing bags of saline in one’s chest is A-okay.<\/p>\n
Dressing modestly implies what we put ON our bodies, so is it okay to put things INSIDE our bodies? If that’s the distinction, then why no tattoos? If no tattoos, then why is tanning alright? …. on and on it went like this.<\/p>\n
What’s your take on these, I would say legitimate, adolescent issues?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
