The subject i am writing about is tattoos, piercings, and "heavy worship": Is it okay to have in the church. I chose this subject because it is very near and dear to me. It is something that I have personally struggled with, especially at my parent's church. Although all humans are judgmental, the "church" should not judge people and exclude people from God's love. While i was researching this, I found that there are very few published works on the subject but many articles and forums about it. Most being against it. So, I have decided to do my own research with a small pool of people, being my FB friends. Who better to ask ?'s to than real, normal, day to day people. I have been posting survey ?'s to gain insight on what the avg. people think about the subject. Here are a few of the ?'s i have posted.
- - What is "heavy worship"?
- - Have you ever felt like you were misjudged by a "church person" because of your tattoos, piercings or appearance?
- - Is the use of Metal, Punk, Hardcore, etc. distracting to the gospel of God? Can Christian music really have these genres of music?
- - For those who dnt agree with tattoos, piercings or heavy music involved with Christianty, why?
- - Has anyone every felt the Holy Spirit, inspired/moved or saved by a Christian band that plays "heavy worship"( metal, punk, hardcore, etc.) ?
- - Lev. 19 is the chapter where we first here God say "don't put any markings on your body for the dead... I am the Lord" That same chapter talk about not eating pork, shellfish, for men, not cutting their beards and we also hear do not wear clothes of mixed linen. Is it fair to only take partial parts of this chapter, as most churches do, or is it either you take it all or none type of thing?
I am very excited and actually looking forward to this paper now. I have already learned so much on what people think both inside and outside of the church. In my head I like to think that my paper could get published ;)
WORK: So, I am in a new office building, THANK GOD! Away from that mean, annoying lady who thinks is the boss. I think she finally went on maternity leave, who cares. I am loving having my own office and bathroom! My office is way bigger than the other one I had, it is actually bigger than my bosses lol. o well, his choice to stay in the other small building. The only down side I have now is that I pretty much have to train the new typist.... who is like 40 years older than me. It has gotten better. at first it was real annoying because he would ask the most obvious ?'s or he would want to try his own way... even though I have a degree in paralegal studies and have been a paralegal for 3 years. Anyways the receptionist is also way older than me and kinda s l o w. I finally had to pull her aside and ask her to please not come into my office when I am on the phone or have clients in there. I mean this lady would start taking over me while I was going over important things with clients! no bueno!
Fun: Last weekend's show was insane, too much fighting and girls screaming F U to everyone and girl pushing girls visa versa. So dumb. Im sure in their head they had a very good reason but do they to realize that to the rest of the world they look pathetic and childish? IDK. It was very entertaining though. I hope no one got real hurt or in trouble though. We also went to Santa Monica on Saturday. That was fun, lots of walking around and shopping, although i probably spent less than $300 haha. Sunday was the super bowl, I just stayed home and did research.
Anyways this weekend is going to be another FUN FUN FUN weekend! I got tix to see The Ace Man, Adam Carolla! If you didn't know, I LOVE HIM. Probably one the smartest and funniest man on the planet. It's gonna be a girls weekend, Just me, Leesh, and my sis. We are gonna stay at my Aunt Angelica's house so i know it is going to crazy fun!
